MULTIDISCIPLINARY ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH TRAINING

超出所提供的空间。 我们建议在以下国家开展环境卫生多学科培训方案：罗马尼亚、俄罗斯、乌兹别克斯坦、蒙古、肯尼亚和乌干达。与罗马尼亚，俄罗斯，肯尼亚和乌干达的活动是Fogarty从我们的原始赠款或我们收到的补充奖励中持续支持的延续。乌兹别克斯坦和蒙古被提议作为我们Fogarty计划的新国家，我们目前在奥尔巴尼有来自这些国家的学生，由其他基金支持，并正在回应这些国家大学的请求。虽然我们最初的奖项的主要国家是波兰、匈牙利和捷克共和国，但那里的经济和科学进步如此之大，我们认为我们的重点应该放在更需要环境卫生培训的国家。然而，通过维持在东欧地区的项目，我们不会失去过去六年来在这些较发达国家建立的宝贵关系。 本申请中的六个国家存在非常严重的环境卫生问题，缺乏适当处理这些问题的资源、基础设施和训练有素的人员。这些国家最重要的问题是提供不受传染性或有毒物质污染的饮用水和食物，安全处理污水、固体和危险废物以及空气污染。我们建议与奥尔巴尼的流行病学家，统计学家，毒理学家，水专家，生态学家，环境化学家和补救专家的教师进行培训。我们的大部分资金最初将用于在奥尔巴尼的长期（至少一年）培训和研究。被选中的研究员将留下来完成学位课程。随着受训人员返回本国，我们将支持与选定的研究员开展合作研究。此外，我们将每年在其中一个国家举办一个短期课程，主题是与那里的合作教师协商选定的。性能现场=

EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED. We propose a multidisciplinary training program in environmental health in the following countries; Romania, Russia, Uzbekistan, Mongolia, Kenya and Uganda. The activities with Romania, Russia, Kenya and Uganda are continuations of ongoing Fogarty support from either our original grant, or from supplemental awards we have received. Uzbekistan and Mongolia are proposed as new countries to our Fogarty program, and we currently have students in Albany from these countries, supported by other funds, and are responding to requests from universities in these countries to be included. While the primary countries in our original award were Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic, the economic and scientific progress there has been such that we believe our focus should be on countries of greater need for training in environmental health. However by maintaining programs in the Eastern European region, we will not lose our valuable relationships that have been established over the past six years in these more developed countries. The six countries in this application have very severe environmental health issues, and lack the resources, infrastructure and trained personnel to adequately deal with them. The issues of greatest importance in these countries are provision of drinking water and food that is not contaminated with either infectious or toxic substances, safe disposal of sewage, solid and hazardous wastes and air pollution. We propose a training program with an Albany-based faculty of epidemiologists, statisticians, toxicologists, water experts, ecologists, environmental chemists and remediation experts. Most of our funds will initially be expended on long-term (at least one year) training and research in Albany. Selected fellows will stay to complete a degree program. As trainees return to their home countries, we will support collaborative research with selected fellows. In addition we will mount one short-course each year in one of these countries on a topic chosen in consultation with the collaborating faculty there.
