International Collaborative Trauma and Injury Research

描述(由申请人提供)：伤害是全球死亡和残疾的主要原因之一，特别是在发展中国家。在发展中国家内发展可持续的研究能力，以促进高质量和与当地相关的研究，是对这一沉重负担作出最佳反应的关键要素。约翰霍普金斯大学(JHU)很高兴与阿加汗大学(AKU)合作开发国际创伤和伤害研究培训计划(ICTIRT)，该计划将为AKU和巴基斯坦发展这一能力。我们提议的ICTIRT的长远愿景是在AKU建立一个伤害和创伤研究和训练研究所，不仅可以服务于巴基斯坦，也可以服务于南亚其他地区。这项建议有五个具体目标：1)制定在阿库尔大学建立伤害和创伤研究与培训研究所的战略计划；2)培训一小批伤害和创伤研究专家；3)就伤害预防和控制原则培训一大批科学家、卫生专业人员和学者；4)提高巴基斯坦卫生和其他专业人员对伤害和创伤研究重要性的认识；5)促进巴基斯坦境内伤害和创伤研究人员之间的合作，并与国际伤害研究界建立联系。我们在这里建议的JHU-AKU ICTIRT包括长期和短期培训选项。在为期5年的项目期内，将向至少6名个人提供长期培训，以获得JHU的公共卫生硕士学位，并完成一项可发表的研究研究。短期培训方案--将在巴基斯坦举行--包括：(1)伤害预防和控制原则入门讲习班；(2)提供深入、有针对性的伤害研究培训的高级讲习班；(3)与伤害和创伤研究相关专题的在线课程；(4)年度研究专题讨论会；(5)由阿库尔大学组织的一系列双月研讨会。拟议的培训计划背后是JHU和AKU之间现有的和强有力的合作。此次合作将JHU在公共卫生、伤害预防、EMS/创伤服务和结果研究方面的优势与AKU的培训和能力发展需求结合在一起，以制定伤害和创伤研究领域的跨学科培训计划。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Injuries are one of the leading causes of global death and disability, especially in developing countries. The development of a sustainable research capacity within developing countries that will foster high quality and locally relevant research is a critical element of an optimal response to this high burden. The Johns Hopkins University (JHU) is pleased to collaborate with the Aga Khan University (AKU) in the development of an International Collaborative Trauma and Injury Research Training Program (ICTIRT) that will develop this capacity for AKU and the country of Pakistan. The long range vision of the ICTIRT we are proposing is to establish an Institute for Injury and Trauma Research and Training at AKU that can serve not only Pakistan but other parts of South Asia as well. This proposal has five specific aims: 1) to develop a strategic plan for establishing an Institute for Injury and Trauma Research and Training at AKU; 2) to train a small nucleus of experts in injury and trauma research; 3) to train a critical mass of scientists, health professionals and academics in the principles of injury prevention and control; 4) to raise awareness among health and other professionals in Pakistan about the importance of injury and trauma research; and 5) to foster collaboration among injury and trauma researchers within Pakistan and establish linkages with the international injury research community. The JHU-AKU ICTIRT we propose here consists of both long and short-term training options. Long-term training will be offered to at least six individuals over the course of the 5-year project period leading to a Master of Public Health degree from JHU and the completion of a publishable research study. Short-term training options - which will take place in Pakistan - include: (i) introductory workshops in the principles of injury prevention and control; (ii) advanced workshops to provide in depth, targeted injury research training; (iii) on-line courses in topics relevant to the study of injury and trauma research; (iv) an annual research symposium and (v) a series of bi-monthly seminars organized by AKU. Underlying the proposed training program is an existing and strong collaboration between the JHU and AKU. The collaboration brings together strengths in public health, injury prevention and EMS/trauma services and outcomes research at JHU with the need for training and capacity development at AKU to develop an inter-disciplinary training program in the field of injury and trauma research.
