描述(由申请者提供)：变化环境中的全球健康本倡议由俄勒冈健康与科学大学(OHSU)新成立的全球健康中心(GHC)代表OHSU牙科、护理、医学、科学与工程学院的教职员工、俄勒冈州立大学在OHSU的药房驻院计划，以及OHSU脑研究所、职业与环境毒理学研究中心、癌症研究所、儿童发展与康复中心以及其他参与OHSU的研究机构发起。这些实体之间的协同作用将通过它们在OHSU主席全球卫生指导委员会的代表来实现，该委员会将在由全球卫生专家组成的国际外部咨询委员会的协助下，与计划主任合作实施计划目标。利用OHSU在环境科学和神经科学以及在癌症和公共卫生方面的优势，我们设计了一个框架，以促进参与全球卫生活动的个人之间的互动和协同，并滋养国内外新的全球卫生研究人员和教育工作者的发展和成熟。拟议的两个研究教育课程：(A)要求所有一年级学生参加的跨学校、跨专业的全球健康基线课程；(B)为医科学生设计的选修全球健康认证课程，但也适用于其他专业学生、研究生、博士后研究员、住院医生和所有参与学校和研究机构的教职员工。将通过在低收入或中等收入国家制定、实施和出版一个有指导的国际卫生研究项目来赢得荣誉。拟议的计划旨在通过国内外的多学科和跨文化教育和研究，包括扩大教职员工和学生的国际交流，提高全球健康意识。公共卫生相关性：俄勒冈健康与科学大学位于俄勒冈州波特兰市的新全球健康中心请求从福格蒂国际中心获得赠款，以制定课程，为医学、护理、牙科、药房和科学与工程专业的学生教授全球健康基线课程，以及主要为医学生设计的全球健康认证选修课，但也可向OHSU所有学校、中心和研究所的其他专业学生、研究生、博士后研究员、住院医生和教职员工提供。完成上述课程，再加上在低收入或中等收入国家进行的可选指导研究项目的成功，将以优异的成绩获得候选全球健康认证。Fogarty框架赠款的授予预计将利用联邦、州和私人慈善来源的额外支持。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Global Health in Changing Environments titles this initiative of the newly formed Global Health Center (GHC) of Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) on behalf of OHSU faculty, students and staff in the schools of dentistry, nursing, medicine, science & engineering, the Pharmacy Residency program of Oregon State University at OHSU, and the OHSU Brain Institute, Center for Research on Occupational & Environmental Toxicology, Cancer Institute, Child Development and Rehabilitation Center, and other participating OHSU research institutes. Synergy among these entities will be effected through their representation on the OHSU President's Global Health Steering Committee, which will work with the Program Directors to implement program objectives with the assistance of an international External Advisory Committee of global health experts. Using OHSU's strengths in environmental science and neurosciences, and in cancer and public health, we have devised a framework to promote interaction and synergy among individuals engaged in global health activities and to nourish the development and maturation of new global health researchers and educators at home and abroad. Two research education curricula are proposed: (a) a cross-school, interprofessional Global Health Baseline Curriculum required for all first-year students and (b) an elective Global Health Certification program designed for medical students but also accessible to other professional students, graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, residents and faculty from all participating schools and research institutes. Distinction will be earned through the development, implementation, and publication of a mentored international health research project in a low- or middle-income country. The proposed program seeks to increase global health awareness through multidisciplinary and intercultural education and research at home and abroad, including an expansion of international exchanges of faculty and students. Public Health Relevance: Oregon Health & Science University's new Global Health Center in Portland, Ore., requests grant funding from the Fogarty International Center to develop curricula to teach a Global Health Baseline Course for students of medicine, nursing, dentistry, pharmacy, and science and engineering, and an elective Global Health Certification Course designed primarily for medical students, but also available to other professional students, graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, residents and faculty across all OHSU schools, centers and institutes. Completion of the foregoing courses, plus success with an optional mentored research project conducted in a low- or middle-income country, will earn the candidate Global Health Certification with Distinction. Award of a Fogarty Framework grant is expected to leverage additional support in from federal, state and private philanthropic sources.
