DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall objective of this proposal is the strengthening of interdisciplinary research capacity in Ghana to address global health challenges faced by to low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This focus reflects the situational analysis of the region suggesting: a) a dearth of junior-to mid-level researchers adequately prepared to seek and obtain extramural support for independent research endeavors, b) complex social, environmental, and health-related problems requiring interdisciplinary approaches to research to identify viable solutions, and, c) the high potential for successful public health interventions resulting from innovative, interdisciplinary research projects. Our strategies for achieving the goal of strengthening of research capacity focus on: a) the long-term, comprehensive training of post-doctoral scientists who will become future leaders of interdisciplinary, global health research in Ghana; b) the building of institutional capacity through a combination of strengthening of mentoring skills of faculty of the lead academic institutions, and development and dissemination of research training materials using state-of-the-art distance learning methodologies; and c) strengthening an alliance of academic institutions with governmental organizations responsible for evidence-based policy implementation. Specific methods to achieve these objectives include: a) bringing a cadre of 12 post-doctoral fellows organized into interdisciplinary teams for a 4-month intensive program of study in research methods at the University of Michigan; b) bringing 2 post-doctoral fellows to the University of Michigan for a full academic year for an intensive program to increase research and mentoring skills; c) directly supporting 2 University of Michigan faculty from complementary disciplines to spend 4 months in Ghana to providing ongoing mentorship for the post-doctoral students who have returned home, as well as serving as visiting faculty to teach at the University of Ghana and the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology and collaborating with the Ministry of Health's Ghana Health Service research division. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Ghana, like most LMICs, faces complex health challenges. Strengthening of in-country interdisciplinary research capacity is a critical element for addressing these challenges. This proposal will accelerate the building of a strong cadre of well-trained post-doctoral scholars who approach solving global health problems in a fundamentally different way: through innovation and interdisciplinary cooperation.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案的总体目标是加强加纳的跨学科研究能力，以解决低收入和中等收入国家面临的全球卫生挑战。这一重点反映了该地区的情况分析，表明：a)缺乏充分准备为独立研究努力寻求和获得外部支持的初级到中级研究人员；b)复杂的社会、环境和健康相关问题需要跨学科的研究方法来确定可行的解决方案；c)创新的跨学科研究项目很有可能成功实施公共卫生干预措施。我们实现加强研究能力目标的战略侧重于：a)长期全面培训博士后科学家，他们将成为加纳跨学科全球卫生研究的未来领导者；B)通过加强主要学术机构教员的指导技能和利用最先进的远程学习方法开发和传播研究培训材料相结合的方式来建设机构能力；c)加强学术机构与负责循证政策实施的政府组织之间的联盟。实现这些目标的具体方法包括：a)将12名博士后组成跨学科团队，在密歇根大学进行为期4个月的研究方法强化学习；b)派遣2名博士后到密歇根大学进行为期一学年的强化项目，以提高研究和指导技能；c)直接支持密歇根大学互补学科的2名教师在加纳呆4个月，为回国的博士后学生提供持续的指导，并作为访问教师在加纳大学和Kwame Nkrumah科技大学任教，并与卫生部加纳卫生服务研究部门合作。
