DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Despite the toll that infectious diseases take on humans in developing countries around the world, there remains a substantial shortage of both clinically and research-oriented people trained in tropical disease diagnosis, prevention, and control. Renewal of this proposed T35 training grant would enable Johns Hopkins University to continue providing U.S. medical students, candidates for graduate school and post-doctoral trainees opportunities in tropical disease research. Furthermore, funding will allow us to continue taking advantage of the substantial overseas site research-training infrastructure built over the last 20 years in Peru. We have successfully used this system to train over 205 students -171 both on an ad hoc basis and with the assistance of other grants, and 34 under the resources of this training grant. We propose to expand our program to train 30 additional students for periods of 6 months or longer. This research would continue to be performed as an independent study project and is an ideal mechanism for recruiting outstanding students into combined clinical and laboratory based research in tropical infectious diseases that can be translated to the field setting. Similar to the tutor system used in Britain, our students are each paired with an experienced investigator for the duration of their stay. Students consult with tutors frequently through all steps of the investigative process. After a 4 to 6 week lab rotation, students formulate their individual research questions. Students carry out complete scientific investigations from the initial and ongoing ethical considerations, to finally, the data analysis. After analyzing the findings of their project, or if time constraints dictate, data from another project, each student will write and submit a paper for publication.

描述（由申请人提供）：尽管传染病在世界各地的发展中国家给人类造成了巨大的损失，但在热带病诊断、预防和控制方面受过培训的临床和研究型人员仍然严重短缺。这项拟议的T35培训补助金的续期将使约翰霍普金斯大学能够继续为美国医科学生、研究生候选人和热带疾病研究的博士后培训生提供机会。此外，资金将使我们能够继续利用过去20年来在秘鲁建立的大量海外现场研究培训基础设施。我们已经成功地利用这个系统培训了205多名学生，其中171名是在临时基础上或在其他补助金的帮助下培训的，34名是在这项培训补助金的资源下培训的。我们建议扩大我们的项目，再培训30名学生，为期6个月或更长时间。这项研究将继续作为一个独立的研究项目进行，并且是招募优秀学生进行热带传染病临床和实验室联合研究的理想机制，这些研究可以转化为实地环境。与英国使用的导师制度类似，我们的学生在逗留期间都会与一位经验丰富的调查员配对。学生在调查过程的所有步骤中都经常咨询导师。在4到6周的实验室轮换之后，学生们会提出自己的研究问题。学生进行完整的科学调查，从最初的和正在进行的伦理考虑，最后，数据分析。在分析了他们的项目的发现之后，或者如果时间限制，从另一个项目的数据，每个学生将写并提交一篇论文发表。
