This project will enhance the occupational and environmental health research capabilities and professional skills of academicians and public health professionals in Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, and Lao PDR. The project will build on an eleven year history of collaboration with partners in Southeast Asia and Central America. In the upcoming five years, Southeast Asia will be the primary focus, but smaller scale efforts will continue in Central America, particularly Nicaragua. The core of the project is the Collaborative Center for Healthy Work and Environment, administratively based at the University of Washington, but representing an extensive faculty network of researchers and professionals with a broad range of expertise in North America, primarily the Pacific Northwest, and Southeast Asia. Southeast Asia activities, including trainee selection, will be guided by an Advisory Board, comprised of major Southeast Asia partners and a University of Washington advisor. The Center will have two training initiatives. The Research Training Initiative includes basic research training, conducted as three 2-week sessions in a recurring annual cycle. Trainees will be selected competitively, based on preliminary research proposals. Training will cover project design, topic specific training, and proposal preparation. A competitive application process among trainees and other junior researchers will result in Center funding of $5,000-$10,000 for four or five proposals each year. Each selected investigator will be co-mentored by a pair of Southeast Asian and North American faculty. The Center will also fund exceptional candidates for advanced degree programs in Southeast Asian schools of public health, and PhD degree or postdoctoral programs at the University of Washington. The Policy, Prevention and Professional Training Initiative will provide topic-specific short courses on regional high priority issues in occupational and environmental health and safety, aimed at practicing public health professionals. Courses will include practicing professionals as instructors. Practical will be arranged for selected trainees. This proposal is accompanied by a companion proposal which, if funded, will establish a Resource Center in Hanoi to provide locally managed support for Center activities throughout Southeast Asia. The Resource Center will be staffed by former trainees, building on past successes and establishing a foundation for sustainability.

该项目将提高越南、泰国、柬埔寨和老挝人民民主共和国的院士和公共卫生专业人员的职业和环境卫生研究能力和专业技能。该项目将以与东南亚和中美洲伙伴11年的合作历史为基础。在接下来的五年里，东南亚将是主要的重点，但在中美洲，特别是尼加拉瓜，将继续进行小规模的努力。该项目的核心是健康工作与环境合作中心，该中心的行政总部设在华盛顿大学，但代表着一个由研究人员和专业人员组成的广泛的教师网络，他们在北美（主要是太平洋西北地区）和东南亚拥有广泛的专业知识。东南亚的活动，包括选拔学员，将由一个咨询委员会指导，该委员会由东南亚主要合作伙伴和华盛顿大学的一名顾问组成。该中心将开展两项培训活动。研究培训倡议包括基础研究培训，每年循环进行三次为期两周的培训。学员将根据初步研究建议进行竞争性选拔。培训将包括项目设计、专题培训和提案准备。学员和其他初级研究人员之间的竞争性申请程序将使中心每年为4或5个提案提供5,000至10,000美元的资金。每个被选中的研究者将由一对东南亚和北美教师共同指导。该中心还将资助东南亚公共卫生学院高级学位课程的杰出候选人，以及华盛顿大学的博士学位或博士后课程。政策、预防和专业培训倡议将为从事公共卫生工作的专业人员提供关于职业和环境卫生与安全方面区域高度优先问题的专题短期课程。课程将包括执业专业人士作为讲师。将为选定的学员安排实习。该提案还附有一项配套提案，如果获得资助，将在河内设立一个资源中心，为东南亚各地的中心活动提供当地管理的支持。资源中心的工作人员将由以前的受训人员组成，以过去的成功为基础，为可持续发展奠定基础。
