Neurotrauma Research Training in Latin America

神经创伤研究小组(NTRG)是来自俄勒冈州的研究人员和项目的合作组织 健康与科学大学(俄勒冈州波特兰)、华盛顿大学(华盛顿州西雅图)、 和罗萨里奥大学(罗萨里奥，阿根廷)。NTRG的长期目标是改善治疗 以及遭受创伤性脑损伤(TBI)的人的结果，通过研究、教育和 制定和传播循证指导方针。通过多个资金来源，NTRG 在美国和拉丁美洲开展脑创伤研究和教育项目。 在国际合作创伤和伤害研究培训计划(ICTIRT)的帮助下，NTRG 建议利用OHSU和华盛顿大学的研究和教育资源进行培训 拉丁美洲脑创伤研究人员，并在以下网址设立创伤研究课程 阿根廷罗萨里奥大学。该计划将包括三个部分： 1.长期培训。博士后候选人将完成临床研究硕士课程 OHSU的(MCR)，核心课程旨在培养独立的临床研究人员，以及选修课 重点关注创伤和受伤。 2.指导性研究。在参加MCR的同时，博士后候选人将参加 在哈博维尤医院的积极神经创伤研究，I级创伤中心，在 华盛顿大学神经外科和康复医学。 3.短期课程。七个短期课程模块，旨在培养本科生和毕业生 学生、公共卫生和研究管理人员以及相关卫生专业人员 创伤研究，将由罗萨里奥大学俄亥俄州立大学的教员教授。成功的学生 完成所有七个单元将参与指导实践体验并获得证书 创伤研究中心。 通过这个项目，我们将在阿根廷培养未来脑创伤研究的领导者。我们会 在罗萨里奥大学建立持续的创伤研究的可持续能力，并创建原型 整个拉丁美洲的类似项目。

The Neurotrauma Research Group (NTRG) is a collaboration of investigators and programs from Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU - Portland, Oregon), University of Washington (Seattle, Washington), and University of Rosario (Rosario, Argentina). The long-term objective of the NTRG is to improve treatment and outcomes for people who sustain traumatic brain injury (TBI), through research, education, and the development and dissemination of evidence-based guidelines. Through multiple funding sources, the NTRG conducts brain trauma research and educational programs in the United States and Latin America. With the International Collaborative Trauma and Injury Research Training program (ICTIRT), the NTRG proposes to use the research and educational resources of OHSU and University of Washington to train Latin American investigators in brain trauma research, and to establish a curriculum of trauma research at University of Rosario in Argentina. The program will involve three components: 1. Long-term training. Post-doctoral candidates will complete the Master of Clinical Research program (MCR) at OHSU, with core curriculum designed to produce independent clinical researchers, and electives focused on trauma and injury. 2. Mentored research. Concurrent with participating in the MCR, the post-doctoral candidates will take part in active neurotrauma research at Harborview Hospital, a Level I trauma center, and in the Departments of Neurological Surgery and Rehabiltation Medicine at University of Washington. 3. Short course curriculum. Seven short course modules, designed to educate undergraduate and gradute students, public health and research administrators, and allied health professionals in the technology of trauma research, will be taught by faculty from OHSU at University of Rosario. Students who successfully complete all seven modules will participate in a mentored practicum experience and receive a Certificate in Trauma Research. Through this program we will train the future leaders in brain trauma research in Argentina. We will establish sustainable capacity for ongoing trauma research at University of Rosario, and create a prototype for similar programs throughout Latin America.
