DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): No where are the effects of globalization more prominent than in developing nations of the Pacific Rim, where dramatic increases in prosperity together with rapid widening of economic disparities have created significant new challenges to the public health. Understanding the complexities and multidimensional aspects of global health necessitates the integration of a wide range of disciplines to advance science, inform policy and, improve health and well being. The University of Southern California Pacific Rim Global Health Framework (USC-PRGHF) brings together world class faculty from the Schools of Medicine, Social Work, Gerontology, Pharmacy, Dentistry, Engineering, Policy- Planning-Development, Law, Communication, Cinema-TV, and College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences, to collaborate with other Pacific Rim academic and public health institutions in the development of new and expansion of already existing interdisciplinary curricula and training programs to foster training for a new generation of global health specialists. The broad theme of the USC-PRGHF is: Health promotion in developing Asia Pacific Rim nations, amid rapid cultural, social, and environmental change arising from economic and social transition. Over the three years of the PRGHF, research and training core activities will follow several threads all linked to the relationship between lifestyle and health outcomes with increasing transitions related largely to global and economic influences, including westernization. Building upon our USC Pacific Rim Transdisciplinary Tobacco and Alcohol Use Research Center (TTAURC) work in China, initial PRGHF activities will expand the number of disciplines, faculty, and students involved in tobacco-related research. Future threads will expand our work in obesity, HIV prevention, and environmental health. At the outset, PRGHF activities will focus on China, India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh, expanding almost immediately to other developing nations of Asia through our established academic and research networks, and eventually to island nations of the Pacific and Latin America. Guiding the PRGHF will be an administrative structure overseen by faculty with experience in global research and training along with active participation and input from our international collaborators. The objectives of the PRGHF are in line with the University's long-range plans for continuing academic involvement and investment in the Pacific Rim.

描述（申请人提供）：全球化的影响没有比环太平洋发展中国家更突出的了，这些国家的繁荣程度急剧提高，经济差距迅速扩大，给公共卫生带来了重大的新挑战。了解全球卫生的复杂性和多方面需要整合广泛的学科，以推进科学，为政策提供信息，并改善健康和福祉。南加州大学环太平洋地区全球卫生框架（USC-PRGHF）汇集了来自医学，社会工作，老年学，药学，牙科，工程，政策规划发展，法律，通信，电影电视和文学，艺术和科学学院的世界一流的教师，与其他环太平洋地区的学术和公共卫生机构合作，开发新的和扩展现有的跨学科课程和培训计划，以促进培养新一代全球卫生专家。USC-PRGHF的广泛主题是：在经济和社会转型带来的快速文化，社会和环境变化中，促进亚太地区发展中国家的健康。在PRGHF的三年中，研究和培训核心活动将遵循几条线索，所有这些线索都与生活方式和健康结果之间的关系有关，其中越来越多的转变主要与全球和经济影响有关，包括西化。在南加州大学环太平洋跨学科烟酒使用研究中心（TTAURC）在中国工作的基础上，PRGHF的初步活动将扩大参与烟草相关研究的学科、教师和学生的数量。未来的线索将扩大我们在肥胖，艾滋病毒预防和环境健康方面的工作。一开始，PRGHF的活动将集中在中国，印度，斯里兰卡和孟加拉国，通过我们建立的学术和研究网络几乎立即扩展到亚洲其他发展中国家，并最终扩展到太平洋和拉丁美洲的岛国。指导PRGHF将是一个行政结构，由具有全球研究和培训经验的教师监督，沿着我们的国际合作者的积极参与和投入。该PRGHF的目标是符合大学的长期计划，继续学术参与和投资在环太平洋地区。
