Trauma and Injury Excellence in Education on Research (TralnEER) Program

描述(申请人提供)：创伤性损伤是哥伦比亚的头号健康问题，这个拥有4000多万人口的国家被称为世界上最暴力的国家。TralnEER项目将在匹兹堡大学和哥伦比亚卡利山谷大学之间建立国际合作，目的是建设调查人员进行与哥伦比亚健康需求有关的人体创伤和伤害研究的能力。我们已经与CISALVA研究所建立了合作伙伴关系，该研究所是瓦莱大学的官方伤害和暴力控制研究中心，我们已将其指定为TralnEER计划的高级国内培训和支持中心的区域资源。这项建议的母公司是NIH资助的T32创伤中心培训赠款，与NIH资助的匹兹堡大学K30临床研究培训计划相结合，将吸收专业知识来建立一个完全整合的计划，以教育一批研究人员提前了解创伤的研究方法。TralnEER的长期愿景是为所有拉美国家的创伤研究高级培训创建基础设施。具体目标是：1)在5年项目期间，以临床研究理学硕士学位的形式向至少8名个人提供正式培训。还将提供短期培训，候选人将完成临床研究证书的要求。2)。为了进一步发展和加强CISALVA研究所作为伤害控制研究的卓越中心，3)促进受训人员向该地区负责和有影响力的职位过渡，以及4)发展基础设施，以扩大在拉丁美洲其他国家培训和支持伤害研究的机会。将通过开展下列额外的培训活动来实现上述目标：1.国家高级培训，将得到启动赠款的支持，帮助受训者在返回哥伦比亚后在持续指导下启动或继续他们的项目；2.实施短期强化培训，包括一次高级讲习班/研讨会，以提供深入、有针对性的伤害研究培训和年度研究专题讨论会，这两项培训都将在哥伦比亚举行。在TralnEER的第五年，受训者将致力于为基于网络的匹兹堡国际创伤培训计划(WebPITT)创建区域支持结构，以实现具体目标4。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Traumatic injury is the number one health problem in Colombia a country with a population of greater than 40 million that has been called the most violent country in the world. The TralnEER project will establish an international collaboration between the University Pittsburgh and the Universidad del Valle in Cali Colombia with the goal of building the capacity of investigators to conduct human trauma and injury research relevant to the health needs of Colombia. We have established a partnership with the CISALVA institute, which is the official injury and violence control research center of the Universidad del Valle and we have designated it as the regional resource for advance in-country training and support center for the TralnEER program. The parent grant for this proposal is the NIH-funded T32 Trauma Center training grant that in combination with the NIH-funded K30 Clinical Research Training Program of the University of Pittsburgh will draw expertise to build a fully integrated program to educate a cadre of investigators in advance research methods in trauma. The long term vision of TralnEER is to create the infrastructure for advanced training in trauma research across all Latin American countries. The specific aims are: 1) Provide formal training to at least 8 individuals in a form of a degree in Masters of Science in Clinical Research over the course of the 5 year project. Alternative training will also be offered in a shorter term option in which the candidate will complete requirements for a Certificate in Clinical Research. 2). To further develop and strengthen the CISALVA Institute as a center of excellence in injury control research, 3) To facilitate the transition of trainees to positions of responsibility and influence in the region, and 4) To develop infrastructure to expand the opportunities to train and support injury research in other countries in Latin America. The above aims will be accomplished by means of creating the following additional training activities: 1. Advanced in country training which will be supported by startup grants to help trainees launch or continue their projects with ongoing mentorship upon return to Colombia and 2. The implementation of short term intensive training that will consist of an advanced workshops /seminar to provide in depth, targeted injury research training and an annual research symposium both will take place in Colombia. During the fifth year of TralnEER, the trainees will work on creating the regional support structure for a web based Pittsburgh International Trauma Training program (WebPITT) in order to accomplish specific aim 4.
