Framework for Global Health Training in the Americas (planning grant)

描述（由申请人提供）：全球化进程大大增加了世界各国之间的经济、政治和社会相互依存，这反过来又对卫生产生了深远的影响。全球卫生问题必须采用可适用于发展中国家和发达国家的合乎道德的跨学科、跨部门框架来解决，以产生新的知识，并将其转化为旨在改善世界人口健康的可衡量的具体行动。通过这项规划赠款获得的资金将用于开展必要的基础工作，以创建和实施一个协作的跨学科方案，利用INSP教师、我们的伙伴机构和其他合作机构在全球化和健康的关键领域进行的研究和教学。我们努力的基础是这样一种信念，即只有通过跨学科和多学科的方法，才能有效地处理和解决全球化社会中的公共卫生问题。我们的努力将集中在三个具体目标上：在国家卫生政策方案内建立一个资源库，以支持和通报创建全球卫生课程的进程，以增加这一主题的技能基础。通过与墨西哥卫生、社会和行为研究以及经济、政策和法律研究方面的学术机构建立伙伴关系，为制定全面、跨学科的全球卫生培训方案奠定基础。提高对全球卫生问题的认识，促进对全球卫生问题的跨学科研究，这将促进墨西哥和整个美洲的研究和教学活动的整合，创造跨学科和学校促进全球卫生方案的协同作用。在全球卫生问题合格专家咨询委员会的指导下，由国家卫生政策研究所教授和研究人员组成的工作组将为全面、多学科的全球卫生课程奠定基础，并预计将产生一项关于美洲全球卫生研究框架的提案。该方案将加强能力，并将个人努力纳入墨西哥的协同方案，以应对全球卫生问题。这些努力的结果将是为专业人员提供高水平的全球卫生培训方案，使他们能够在日益全球化和相互联系的世界背景下分析、处理和应对发展中国家（特别是美洲国家）的公共卫生挑战和需求。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The process of globalization has greatly increased economic, political and social interdependence among countries of the world, which in turn has had a profound effect on health. Global Health must be addressed using an ethical interdisciplinary, intersectoral framework, which can be applied in developing and developed nations, to generate new knowledge that can be translated into measurable, concrete actions aimed at improving the health of the world's population. Funds obtained through this planning grant will be employed to carry out the necessary groundwork to create and implement a collaborative, inter-disciplinary program, capitalizing on the research and teaching in crucial areas on globalization and health undertaken by INSP faculty, by our partner institutions and by other collaborating institutions. Underlying our efforts is the belief that only through an inter- and multi-disciplinary approach can public health issues in a globalized society be effectively approached and resolved. Our efforts will be centered on three specific aims: To create a resource-base within the INSP to support and inform the process of creating a global health curriculum to increase the skill base on this topic. To lay the foundation for the development of a comprehensive, interdisciplinary Global Health training program through partnerships with Mexican academic institutions in the health, social and behavioral studies as well as economic, policy and law studies. To raise awareness and foster interdisciplinary research on Global Health issues at the INSP which will facilitate the integration of research and teaching activities within Mexico and throughout the Americas, creating synergies across disciplines and schools promoting the Global Health programs. A Working Group of INSP professor-researchers, with the guidance of an Advisory Board of qualified experts in Global Health issues will lay the foundation for a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary global health curriculum with the projected en product of a proposal for a Framework for Global Health Studies in the Americas. The program will strengthen capacity and integrate individual efforts into a synergistic program in Mexico to respond to global health concerns. The outcome of these efforts will be a high caliber Global Health training program for professionals which will prepare them to analyze, address and respond to the public health challenges and needs of developing countries -particularly those in the Americas-in the context of an increasingly globalized and interconnected world.
