DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this five year Institutional National Research Service Award (NRSA) Training Grant (T32) is to train qualified United States citizens to undertake research in the area of maternal and child health in developing country settings. The program proposes to provide long-term training of pre-doctoral students leading to the awarding of the Ph.D. degree in International Health from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. The training will be multi-disciplinary, but student will be able to focus on one of three disciplinary areas; human nutrition, behavioral sciences, and epidemiology. Within these three primary areas, students will be able to include other areas of focus such as bioethics, demography, infectious diseases, and vaccinology. The focus of the training will be to use these discipline bases to better understand the etiology, epidemiology, and interventions appropriate to improve maternal, neonatal, infant and child health in developing countries. Pre-doctoral course work will be undertaken at Johns Hopkins University, and the dissertation research will be conducted at faculty-established field sites in developing countries, in conjunction with local research institutions and collaborators. The Department of International Health has established field sites with laboratory, clinic and population-based activities in countries such as Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Zanzibar, Uganda, Ethiopia, Peru, and Guatemala. Students enrolled in the program will participate in (1) structured course work (2) a seminar series offered on appropriate topics (3) research practicum at the end of the first year of course work (4) teaching assistance in appropriate courses (5) a thesis research project. Students will be able to complete the degree within 3 and 5 years, depending on their backgrounds. Students who successfully complete the training program will be able to conduct research to improve the health and survival of women of reproductive age and their offspring in resource poor environments. They will have developed the appropriate cultural sensitivities, language skills and approach to collaboration with local partners in undertaking such research, and will be able to write independent grant applications to NIH and other competitive funding sources to conduct future research.

描述（由申请人提供）：这项五年机构国家研究服务奖（NRSA）培训补助金（T32）的目的是培训合格的美国公民，在发展中国家环境中在母婴健康领域进行研究。该计划建议对博士学位的学生进行长期培训，从而授予博士学位。约翰·霍普金斯彭博公共卫生学院的国际健康学位。培训将是多学科的，但学生将能够专注于三个学科领域之一。人类营养，行为科学和流行病学。在这三个主要领域中，学生将能够包括其他重点领域，例如生物伦理学，人口统计学，传染病和疫苗学。培训的重点将是使用这些学科基础来更好地了解适合改善发展中国家孕产妇，新生儿，婴儿和儿童健康的病因，流行病学和干预措施。约翰·霍普金斯大学（Johns Hopkins University）将在约翰·霍普金斯大学（Johns Hopkins University）进行博学前课程工作，并将与当地研究机构和合作者一起在发展中国家的教职员工野外现场进行论文研究。国际卫生部已在孟加拉国，印度，尼泊尔，桑给巴尔，乌干达，埃塞俄比亚，秘鲁和危地马拉等国家建立了实验室，诊所和人口活动。参加该计划的学生将参加（1）结构化课程工作（2）在课程工作第一年结束时提供适当主题的研讨会系列（3）研究实践（4）在适当的课程中教学援助（5）论文研究项目。根据他们的背景，学生将能够在3年和5年内完成学位。成功完成培训计划的学生将能够进行研究，以改善生殖年龄及其后代在资源较差的环境中的健康和生存。他们将开发出适当的文化敏感性，语言技能和与当地合作伙伴进行此类研究的合作的适当敏感性，并能够为NIH和其他有竞争力的资金来源编写独立的赠款申请，以进行未来的研究。
