A Global Health Demonstration Program in Peru

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案的目标是在秘鲁的秘鲁大学卡耶塔诺埃雷迪亚（UPCH）建立一个全球卫生框架，建立与知名国际合作伙伴网络的良好合作关系，并培养学校之间的大学内部关系。该框架计划旨在：1)培养新一代全球卫生学者；2)加强将研究成果转化为卫生政策和实践；3)加强发展中国家研究人员对全球卫生议程的贡献和参与。在研究副校长办公室内，由公共卫生与行政学院领导，UPCH五所学院的教师将在秘鲁、美国和英国的学术、研究、政府和卫生机构的长期国际伙伴的支持下，就拟议的框架进行合作。该框架规划将成为UPCH所有全球卫生项目的资源，并将有助于利用现有资源，整合正在进行的努力，并制定新的规划。具体而言，我们概述了核心全球卫生课程的基础，这些课程寻求将现有资源与卫生政策、数学建模、卫生经济学以及方案设计、实施、监测和评估等领域的研究和培训的新机会结合起来。拟议的全球卫生框架方案包括：1)为本科和研究生课程制定全球卫生课程；2)设立全球卫生硕士学位，重点是传染病，并从多学科角度进行教学；3)设计和实施远程学习计划，为安第斯地区的在职卫生专业人员提供课程；4)扩大国际教师交流，以发展UPCH目前在秘鲁没有的全球卫生专业知识；5)组织两个地区性会议，及时讨论全球卫生问题；6)为有兴趣从事全球卫生事业的新研究者设立研究奖励和实习机会。UPCH将开发具有凝聚力的行政和学术基础设施，以监督该框架的实施，重点是该计划的长期可持续性。在资源多样的发展中国家实施该方案，为实施全球卫生框架提供了理想的环境。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this proposal is to develop a global health framework at the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia (UPCH) in Peru, building upon well-established collaborative links with a network of prestigious international partners and cultivating intra-university relationships between schools. This framework program aims to: 1) train a new generation of global health scholars, 2) strengthen the translation of research findings into health policy and practice, and 3) enhance the contribution and participation of developing country researchers to the global health agenda. Housed within the Office of the Vice Rector of Research and led by the School of Public Health and Administration, faculty from five schools at UPCH will collaborate on the proposed framework, supported by long-standing international partners from academic, research, governmental, and health institutions in Peru, the United States, and England. The framework program will be a resource for all global health projects at UPCH, and will serve to leverage current resources, integrate ongoing efforts, and develop new programs. Specifically, we outline the foundations of core global health curricula that seek to unite existing resources with new opportunities in research and training in areas such as health policy, mathematical modeling, health economics, and program design, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. The proposed global health framework program includes the: 1) development of a global health curriculum for undergraduate and graduate programs, 2) creation of a masters degree in global health, with an emphasis on infectious diseases and taught from a multidisciplinary perspective, 3) design and implementation of a distance learning program to provide course access to working health professionals throughout the Andean region, 4) expansion of international faculty exchanges to develop global health expertise at UPCH that is currently not available in Peru, 5) organization of two regional conferences addressing timely global health issues, and 6) creation of research awards and internships for new investigators interested in pursing a career in global health. Cohesive administrative and academic infrastructure will be developed at UPCH to oversee the implementation of this framework, focused on the long-term sustainability of the program. Placement of the program in a developing country with diverse resource provides an ideal environment to implement the global health framework.
