超出所提供的空间。本提案是华盛顿大学（UW）职业与环境健康国际学者的延续。具体目标将侧重于在合作国家通过研究高度优先的卫生问题进行培训。1. 向来自越南、泰国、尼加拉瓜和哥斯达黎加的科学家和专业人员提供职业和环境卫生方面的培训，围绕在这些国家执行关于高度优先问题的研究项目。2. 通过支持有关这些国家优先职业和环境健康问题的高质量研究项目，在这些国家发展西澳大学教师之间的长期科学兴趣和指导关系。3. 通过持续的培训和研究，维持和加强现有的强有力的机构间合作关系。4. 协助合作机构成为职业和环境健康与安全的区域卓越中心。该方案将继续与越南、泰国、尼加拉瓜和哥斯达黎加的主要职业和环境卫生机构合作。它的前提假设是，现实世界的研究为科学家和专业人员提供了高质量的培训。再就业补助计划将为回国的学员提供可靠的基础，并支持正在进行的合作。区域重点将促进机构间关系。通过注重人文学科的研究和发展本国的继续教育专门知识，包括信息传播机制，合作机构将成为区域资源，成为职业和环境健康与安全方面的卓越中心。主要研究课题有：越南-矽肺病的识别与防治；泰国——空气污染与人类健康；尼加拉瓜-伤害控制和哥斯达黎加-杀虫剂和儿童癌症。通过在华盛顿大学的短期、中期和以学位为导向的长期培训，将向在本国参加短期课程的国际学者提供连续的培训机会。一个在国内的主要外国合作者和提名委员会将协助选择成功的候选人，一个正式的选择审查程序将确保高质量的研究和出版物，并将监测学员的进展。网站性能 ======================================== 节结束 ===========================================

EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED. This proposal is a continuation of the University of Washington (UW) International Scholars in Occupational and Environmental Health. The specific aims will focus on training through research on high priority health issues in collaborating countries. 1. Provide training in Occupational and Environmental Health to scientists and professionals from Vietnam, Thailand, Nicaragua and Costa Rica that is built around the execution of research projects on high priority problems in these countries. 2. Develop long-term scientific interest and mentoring relationships in these countries among UW faculty through the support of high quality research projects on priority occupational and environmental health problems in these countries. 3. Maintain and reinforce the strong existing collaborative inter-institutional relationships through continued training and research. 4. Assist collaborating institutions to become regional centers of excellence in occupational and environmental health and safety. This program will continue collaborations with major occupational and environmental health institutions in Vietnam, Thailand, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. It is predicated on the assumption that real world research provides high quality training for scientists and professionals. A reentry grant program will provide sure footing for returning trainees and support ongoing collaboration. A regional focus will promote inter-institutional relationships. Through a focus on human subjects research and the development of continuing education expertise in country including mechanisms for information dissemination, collaborating institutions will become regional resources as Centers of Excellence in occupational and environmental health and safety. The main research topics are: Vietnam-Identification and Prevention of Silicosis; Thailand-Air Pollution and Human Health; Nicaragua-Injury Control and Costa Rica-Pesticides and Childhood Cancer. A continuum of training opportunities will be provided to international scholars from short courses in country, through short-term, intermediate-term and degree-oriented, long-term training at the UW. An in country Main Foreign Collaborator and nominating committee will assist in the selection of successful candidates and a formalized selection review process will assure quality research and publications and will monitor trainee progress.
