Global Health Activities in Developing Countries to Combat Non-Communicable Chron

该计划的目的是通过促进临床研究基础设施的开发和研究培训，以及对预防或治疗慢性心血管和肺部疾病的新的或改进的方法、计划和措施进行研究，在发展中国家与非传染性慢性心血管和肺部疾病(CVPD)作斗争。该计划的目标是发展卓越研究中心(COE)，拥有能够进行独立和/或协作研究的教职员工，以及培训未来的博士和博士后水平的慢性CVPD研究人员。该计划预计将促进临床、流行病学、卫生服务和成果、卫生政策、翻译和行为研究。这一机制将不支持以动物研究为重点的动物研究和/或培训。

The purpose of this program is to combat non-communicable chronic cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases (CVPD), in developing countries, by enabling clinical research infrastructure development and research training and by conducting research on new or improved approaches, programs, and measures to prevent or treat chronic CVPD. Program objectives are to develop research Centers of Excellence (COEs) with faculty and staff capable of conducting independent and/or collaborative research, as well as training future chronic CVPD investigators at the doctoral and postdoctoral levels. This program is expected to stimulate clinical, epidemiologic, health services and outcomes, health policy, translational, and behavioral research. Animal studies and/or training with a focus on animal studies will not be supported through this mechanism.
