DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This re-submitted application proposes to train Romanian researchers in the prevention and management of non-communicable chronic diseases (cancer, cerebrovascular diseases, lung disease, obesity, envirnomental and lifestyle factors). Romania is a relatively large country with a population of 22 million in Central/Eastern Europe, "the worst afflicted by non-communicable chronic diseases" of the six WHO regions. Although significant clinical expertise exists in Romania regarding the management of chronic diseases, research expertise is almost totally lacking in regard to population-based studies, prevention strategies, and public health interventions. Over a five-year period, this program will engage early and mid-career scientists and health professionals in intermediate-term training (25), short-term training (15), long-term training (3-4), and in an innovative program of "short-term-equivalent" distance education activities that will make extensive use of Internet web-conferencing. Additionally, intermediate and long-term trainees will conduct a series of joint workshops in Romania. The primary collaborating institution for this program will be the Center for Health Policy and Public Health at Babes-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, although a number of other affliated institutions in Romania will also be involved. Expertise and mentoring in the various aspects of non-communicable chronic diseases will be provided by a cadre of highly qualified University of lowa faculty members from a number of departments and colleges as well as from several institutions in Romania. The program faculty reflects a broad range of research areas from genetics to epidemiology to clinical research to implementation science. The design of this program is based on experiences conducting previous and current research training programs in the region and on a network of well-established collaborators. Program personnel have first-hand knowledge of the social, economic, political, and cultural factors impacting health in Romania and the region They have developed and refined an established model for training future scientists and public health professionals that will be applied to increase understanding of, and, therefore, reduce the occurance and impact of non-communicable chronic diseases. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The most recent data indicates that non-communicable chronic diseases account for about 90% of all deaths in Romania. Although there are high rates of non-communicable chronic diseases in countries throughout the Central and Eastern European region, Romania provides a unique opportunity to have a large impact on these diseases and to have a "spillover" effect on neighboring countries in the region.

描述（由申请人提供）：这份重新提交的申请旨在培训罗马尼亚研究人员预防和管理非传染性慢性疾病（癌症、脑血管疾病、肺病、肥胖、环境和生活方式因素）。罗马尼亚是中欧/东欧地区面积较大的国家，人口2200万，是世界卫生组织六个区域中“非传染性慢性病患病最严重”的国家。尽管罗马尼亚在慢性病管理方面拥有重要的临床专业知识，但在基于人群的研究、预防策略和公共卫生干预方面几乎完全缺乏研究专业知识。该计划将在五年内让早期和中期职业科学家和卫生专业人员参与中期培训（25）、短期培训（15）、长期培训（3-4），以及广泛利用互联网网络会议的“短期等同”远程教育活动创新计划。此外，中长期培训生将在罗马尼亚举办一系列联合研讨会。该计划的主要合作机构将是罗马尼亚克卢日-纳波卡巴贝斯-博雅伊大学卫生政策和公共卫生中心，不过罗马尼亚的一些其他附属机构也将参与其中。来自洛瓦大学多个系和学院以及罗马尼亚多个机构的高素质教职人员将提供非传染性慢性病各个方面的专业知识和指导。该项目的教师涵盖了从遗传学到流行病学到临床研究到实施科学的广泛研究领域。该计划的设计基于该地区以前和当前研究培训计划的经验以及完善的合作者网络。项目人员拥有影响罗马尼亚和该地区健康的社会、经济、政治和文化因素的第一手知识。他们开发并完善了一个用于培训未来科学家和公共卫生专业人员的既定模型，该模型将用于增进对非传染性慢性病的了解，从而减少非传染性慢性病的发生和影响。 公共卫生相关性：最新数据表明，非传染性慢性病约占罗马尼亚所有死亡人数的 90%。尽管整个中东欧地区国家的非传染性慢性病发病率很高，但罗马尼亚提供了一个独特的机会，可以对这些疾病产生巨大影响，并对该地区的邻国产生“溢出”效应。
