The Biomedical Research Informatics for Global Health Training (BRIGHT) program was developed to build capacity in medium- and low-income settings in Brazil. An all in-country program was developed, in the previous funding period, we developed a new certificate program in clinical informatics and supported a newly created doctoral program in bioinformatics. As these programs based in Sao Paulo evolve, we plan to extend their reach outside the city, to northern areas of Brazil and to Maputo, Mozambique. We propose a program that will: (1) Train Brazil's and Mozambique's future scientific leaders to be equipped to use tools of genome science, biomedical and health informatics. It will do so by concentrating on life sciences domains that are of particular relevance to Brazil and Mozambique and that have high im pact on global health, such as HIV/AIDS, cervical, colon, and breast cancer. We will address the different training needs of applied informatics research and basic informatics research by two distinct programs, which differ in duration and emphasis: (a) A one-year certificate program is aimed at meeting immediate human resource needs in applied biomedical and health informatics, (similar in goals to the formal master's program); and (b) A five-year doctoral program emphasizes basic informatics research that is motivated by real world problems. (2) Strengthen collaborations and data sharing between researchers in Brazil, Mozambique, and the USA. The focus is on cooperation enabled by informatics, and we will take advantage of the strengths of research of all participating faculty. Brazilian and Mozambican faculty and trainees will be able to go to international meetings to further develop their networks of collaborators. U.S. faculty will lecture and co-advise Brazilian and Mozambican students, co-develop curricula, and in turn acquire appreciation for the problems and issues concerning biomedical and health informatics in Brazil, Mozambique, and other dev eloping nations. RELEVANCE (See instructions): Building capacity in informatics Is critical for developing countries to be able to partner with U.S. institutions in the containment of the HlV/AlDS epidemic, and for these institutions to perform multi-center research related to the evolution of the virus and resistance to therapeutic agents.

生物医学研究信息学全球健康培训（BRIGHT）计划旨在建立 在巴西的中等和低收入环境中提高能力。制定了一个全面的国内方案， 在上一个资助期，我们开发了一个新的临床信息学证书课程，并支持了一个 新设立的生物信息学博士课程。随着这些位于圣保罗的项目的发展，我们计划 将他们的影响力扩展到城市之外，巴西的北方地区和莫桑比克的马普托。我们提出了一个 该计划将： (1)培训巴西和莫桑比克未来的科学领导人，使他们能够使用基因组工具 科学、生物医学和卫生信息学。它将通过集中于生命科学领域来做到这一点， 与巴西和莫桑比克特别相关，对全球卫生有很大影响，如 艾滋病毒/艾滋病、宫颈癌、结肠癌和乳腺癌。我们将满足不同应用的培训需求 信息学研究和基础信息学研究由两个不同的方案，这两个方案在时间和 重点： (a)为期一年的证书课程旨在满足应用领域的直接人力资源需求。 生物医学和健康信息学，（目标类似于正式的硕士课程）;和 (b)一个为期五年的博士课程强调由真实的世界激励的基础信息学研究 问题 (2)加强巴西、莫桑比克和美国研究人员之间的合作和数据共享。 重点是信息学支持的合作，我们将利用研究的优势 所有参与的教师。巴西和莫桑比克的教师和学员将能够前往国际 会议，以进一步发展其合作者网络。美国教师将讲课，并共同建议巴西 和莫桑比克学生，共同开发课程，并反过来获得对问题的认识， 巴西、莫桑比克和其他发展中国家的生物医学和健康信息学问题。 相关性（参见说明）： 信息学能力建设对于发展中国家能够与美国机构合作至关重要 在控制艾滋病毒/艾滋病流行方面，这些机构进行多中心研究， 与病毒的进化和对治疗剂的抗性有关。
