DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Global Infectious Disease Research Training Program research training proposal is submitted jointly by faculty of the Center for Tropical and Emerging Global Diseases (CTEGD) at the University of Georgia (UGA) and faculty of the Institute of Tropical Medicine and Infectious Diseases (ITROMID). ITROMID is a joint training program between the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) and Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) that capitalizes on the research foundation of KEMRI and the academic base of JKUAT. We will develop Kenyan biomedical investigators with research competence and independence in the areas of host/parasite and host/vector relationships related to malaria and schistosomiasis. Trainers in this proposal are a productive, multi-disciplinary group of 12 scientists/educators who work very effectively on these diseases in both field-based and laboratory-based settings. This training proposal is founded on NIH R01 grants and other funded projects held collaboratively between UGA and ITROMID scientists. These projects have already demonstrated the ability of UGA/ITROMID scientists to jointly pursue productive research and train predoctoral students. Through academic studies and collaborative research on these major public health problems in Kenya, UGA and ITROMID will provide excellence in biomedical training for young Kenyan scientists. Trainees will be highly qualified Kenyan or regional students with first class academic training. They will work with internationally experienced scientists who have demonstrated high caliber training skills. Research areas will include the immunology, genetics, biochemistry, and cell and molecular biology of schistosomiasis and malaria and the vectors responsible for their transmission. Educational experiences for predoctoral trainees will focus on appropriate course work and in depth thesis research. Postdoctoral training will focus on research. Both pre and postdoctoral trainees will participate in journal club, seminar and colloquial experiences to broaden their perspectives in relation to research integrity, human subjects, and analytical approaches, and lead them to scientific independence. Programs will assist trainees in how to stabilize their future careers through re-entry grants, collaborations, grant writing, short-term overseas opportunities, and a variety of survival skills. Funding is requested for 5 years to support 4 predoctoral and 3 postdoctoral trainees.

描述（由申请人提供）：本全球传染病研究培训计划研究培训计划由佐治亚大学（UGA）热带和新兴全球疾病中心（CTEGD）和热带医学和传染病研究所（ITROMID）的教师联合提交。ITROMID是肯尼亚医学研究所（KEMRI）和乔莫·肯雅塔农业与技术大学（JKUAT）之间的联合培训计划，利用KEMRI的研究基础和JKUAT的学术基础。我们将培养肯尼亚生物医学研究人员，使他们在与疟疾和血吸虫病有关的宿主/寄生虫和宿主/媒介关系领域具有研究能力和独立性。本提案中的培训人员是由12名科学家/教育工作者组成的富有成效的多学科小组，他们在实地和实验室环境中非常有效地研究这些疾病。这项培训计划是建立在NIH R01拨款和其他资助项目之间的UGA和ITROMID科学家合作举行。这些项目已经证明了UGA/ITROMID科学家共同追求生产性研究和培养博士生的能力。通过对肯尼亚这些重大公共卫生问题的学术研究和合作研究，佐治亚大学和ITROMID将为肯尼亚年轻科学家提供卓越的生物医学培训。受训人员将是受过一流学术培训的肯尼亚或本地区的高素质学生。他们将与具有高水平培训技能的具有国际经验的科学家合作。研究领域将包括血吸虫病和疟疾及其传播媒介的免疫学、遗传学、生物化学、细胞和分子生物学。博士预科生的教育经历将集中在适当的课程作业和深入的论文研究上。博士后培养将以研究为重点。pre - and - postdoctoral受研者将参与期刊俱乐部，研讨会和口语体验，以拓宽他们在研究诚信，人类受试者和分析方法方面的视野，并引导他们走向科学独立。项目将通过再就业资助、合作、资助写作、短期海外机会和各种生存技能，帮助学员稳定未来的职业生涯。申请资助5年，资助4名博士预科生和3名博士后。
