INTERNATIONAL TRAINING IN POPULATION, HEALTH AND AGING

产品说明：（改编自申请人的描述）位于查佩尔山的北卡罗来纳州大学（UNC-CH）的卡罗莱纳人口中心（CPC）的研究人员已经在国际环境中建立了一系列合作，以研究与快速社会变化、环境以及胎儿和婴儿营养不良的长期影响相关的人口和健康问题。我们的合作是独一无二的，因为它们是围绕长期合作项目组织的，包括纵向数据收集以及对各种主题的广泛基础的实质性研究。合作者是中国著名的研究机构（中国预防医学科学院，北京; CAPM）;菲律宾（圣卡洛斯大学人口研究室，OPS）;泰国（玛希敦大学人口与社会研究所; IPSR）;俄罗斯（俄罗斯医学科学院俄罗斯营养研究所和俄罗斯科学院社会学研究所）;和厄瓜多尔（丰达西翁基金会，以下简称Ección）和人口与社会发展研究中心。 拟议的赠款包括研究人员、研究生和知名学者的短期、中期和长期培训。目前和拟议的福格蒂支持使我们能够与我们的合作者就更广泛的机构目标以及他们希望发展的技能和能力类型进行广泛的讨论，并就这些讨论采取行动。这一拟议的继续提供的赠款使我们能够通过将UNC-CH或其他地方的教师带到他们的机构，让我们的合作者来参加研讨会，或派他们参加区域讲习班，进一步实现我们广泛的和具体的培训目标。这些努力导致了最先进的测量和分析技术的技能的发展，并在顶级国际期刊上发表论文。我们也可以帮助最近的博士。来自UNC-CH的学生在他们的家乡机构建立研究项目和设施，促进他们的回报和未来的生产力。基于第一个福格蒂赠款的成功，我们提出了第二个赠款，这将巩固和扩大我们与CAPM，OPS和IPSR合作迄今取得的成果，并通过增加两个新的合作国家与厄瓜多尔和俄罗斯的两个机构扩大我们的影响力。

DESCRIPTION: (Adapted from the Applicant's Description) Researchers at the Carolina Population Center (CPC) of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) have established a set of collaborations in international settings to study population and health issues associated with rapid societal change, the environment, and the long-term effects of fetal and infant under nutrition. Our collaborations are unique in that they are organized around long-term collaborative projects that include longitudinal data collection as well as broadly based substantively oriented research on a wide variety of topics. The collaborators are eminent research institutions in China (Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine, Beijing; CAPM); the Philippines (Office of Population Studies at the University of San Carlos, OPS); Thailand (Institute of Population and Social Research, Mahidol University; IPSR); Russia (the Russian Institute of Nutrition, Russian Academy of Medical Sciences (RIN) and Institute of Sociology, Russian Academy of Science (IS); and Ecuador (Fundacion Ecociencia, hereafter Ecociencia) and Centro de Estudios sobre Poblacion y Desarrollo Social (Center for the Study of Population and Social Development, or CEPAR. The proposed grant consists of mix of short-, medium-, and long-term training of researchers, graduate students, and established scholars. The current and proposed Fogarty support made it possible to have wide-ranging discussions with our collaborators about broader institutional goals and the types of skills and capacity they would like to develop, and to act on those discussions. This proposed continuation grant allows us to further both our broad-based and specific training goals by bringing faculty from UNC-CH or elsewhere to their institutions, by having our collaborators come to UNC, or by sending them to regional workshops. These efforts resulted in development of skills in state of the art measurement and analytic techniques and publications in top international journals. We were also able to help recent Ph.D.'s from UNC-CH to establish research programs and facilities in their home institution, facilitating their return and future productivity. Based on the success of the first Fogarty grant, we propose a second that will consolidate and extend the gains made so far in our collaborations with the CAPM, OPS and IPSR and to broaden our reach through the addition of two new collaborating countries with two institutions in Ecuador and Russia.
