International research training program in trauma and injury prevention

描述(申请人提供)：这是一个为期5年的关于创伤和伤害预防的新研究培训计划的竞争申请，重点是哥伦比亚的职业伤害、与交通相关的事故以及伤害和事故分布中的社会不平等。Jveriana大学(PUJ)是合作机构，工业工程副教授兼人体工程学研究中心主任Leonardo Quintana博士是主要的外国合作者。该项目将设在德克萨斯州休斯敦德克萨斯大学公共卫生学院(UTSPH)的西南职业与环境健康中心(SWCOEH)，并包括与美国汽车协会和德克萨斯州卫生服务部的合作。SWCOEH与PUJ有10年的培训和研究合作历史。该计划的目标是通过学术培训和研究计划，在创伤和伤害监测、预防、控制和评估方面培训外国科学家和专业人员，以：1)有效地处理创伤和伤害在工作场所和社区中对健康的不利影响；2)描述社会、文化和经济因素如何影响创伤和伤害的分布，以及干预方案设计；3)发展受过培训的创伤和伤害预防专业人员的国际网络，以合作开展旨在识别和预防职业和交通相关伤害的研究计划；以及4)在哥伦比亚制定国家和国际职业和交通相关伤害预防计划。为了实现这些目标，我们建议通过三项计划活动提供培训和研究支持：1)在美国的UTSPH进行长期的学术和研究准备，从而获得专门研究伤害预防和控制的公共卫生硕士或博士学位；2)短期培训活动，包括访问学者计划、竞争性试点项目研究培训计划以及在哥伦比亚举办的有针对性的短期课程和讲习班；以及3)信息传播，通过向西班牙语国家广泛传播有关职业和交通伤害预防的科学信息。家长赠款是1T42OH008421-01，这是一项CDC/NIOSH教育和研究中心培训赠款，目前资助到2010年。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a 5-year competing application for a new research training program in trauma and injury prevention, focused on occupational injuries, traffic-related accidents and the social inequalities in the injury and accident distribution in Colombia. The Pontificia Universidad Javeriana (PUJ) is the collaborating institution and Leonardo Quintana, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering and Director of the Center for Studies in Ergonomics, the Principal Foreign Collaborator. The program will be located in the Southwest Center for Occupational and Environmental Health (SWCOEH) at the University of Texas School of Public Health (UTSPH) in Houston, Texas, and includes collaborations with the American Automobile Association and the Texas Department of State Health Services. The SWCOEH has a 10-year history of training and research collaboration with PUJ. The program goals are to train foreign scientists and professionals in trauma and injury surveillance, prevention, control, and evaluation through an academic training and research program to: 1) deal effectively with the adverse health effects of trauma and injury in the workplace and the community; 2) describe how social, cultural and economic factors influence the distribution of trauma and injury, and intervention program design; 3) develop an international network of trained professionals in trauma and injury prevention to collaborate in research programs aimed at the identification and prevention of occupational and traffic-related injuries, and 4) develop national and international prevention programs for occupational and traffic-related injuries in Colombia. To achieve these goals, we propose to provide training and research support through three program activities: 1) long-term academic and research preparation in the United States at the UTSPH leading to a masters or doctoral degree in public health or postdoctoral fellowships specifically focused on injury prevention and control; 2) short-term training activities including a visiting scholars program, a competitive pilot projects research training program, and targeted short courses and workshops in Colombia; and 3) information dissemination, through support of the widespread dissemination of scientific information on occupational and traffic-related injury prevention to Spanish- speaking countries. The parent grant is 1T42OH008421-01, a CDC/NIOSH Education and Research Center training grant currently funded through 2010.
