DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Injuries are a growing public health problem worldwide as thousands of people are killed, injured, and disabled every day. As one of the leading causes of death and disability in the world, human trauma and injury disproportionately affect individuals in developing countries. The impact of trauma and injury in low- and middle-income countries is devastating, thus requiring increased efforts to train health care professionals and research faculty on this topic in these countries. During the previous Fogarty International Center TRAUMA grant based upon the collaboration between the University of Maryland School of Medicine and Ain Shams University in Cairo, Egypt, we trained approximately 450 trainees from Egypt, Iraq, Sudan, Palestine and Afghanistan in one or more of the training programs initiated through the grant. Eleven out of the thirteen trainees who matriculated into the intensive injury research summer training program and mentored research project have accepted faculty positions at academic institutions in Egypt. One of the remaining trainees is now the Director of the Emergency Department in a Health Insurance Hospital while the other is a key injury epidemiologist in the Ministry of Health. As a continuation of our previous successful work over the past six years in injury prevention research training in the Arab Republic of Egypt, we will accomplish three main objectives, which are 1) To continue to train our growing cadre of traumatologists and emergency physicians in the use of currently available methodologies in trauma resuscitation, injury research, and the collection of data about injuries, 2) In conjunction with our developing World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Center, to further the development of our program to expand research and training opportunities for injury-related research in Egypt and the Arab Middle East, 3) To expand our select group of health professionals trained in our intensive summer injury research training courses, followed by in-country mentored research activities, to cement and expand our core group of injury researchers in Egypt and the Arab Middle East and work with them to develop sustainable injury research programs. These objectives will be accomplished through a coordinated and organized program built upon the existing successful collaboration between the University of Maryland and Ain Shams University with guidance from experts in the United States and in Egypt. Our goals in this funding period are 1) to meet all ongoing requirements of WHO for finalizing our WHO Collaborating Centre for Research and Training on Injury Prevention and Management at Ain Shams University, 2) to expand our training programs to Alexandria University in Egypt and Garyounis University in Libya in order to raise awareness and efforts related to injury research and injury prevention, and 3) to conduct at least two short- term injury related training courses per year, and 4) to enroll five trainees per year in the intensive injury research summer/mentored research project long-term training. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This project is between the University of Maryland School of Medicine and Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt. It is designed to help health professionals in Egypt, Libya and the Arab Middle East to increase their knowledge and understanding of human trauma and injury prevention and apply this knowledge in public health practice in order to decrease the significant morbidity and mortality caused by injuries.

描述(申请人提供)：伤害是一个日益严重的全球公共卫生问题，每天都有成千上万的人被杀、受伤和致残。作为世界上导致死亡和残疾的主要原因之一，人类创伤和伤害对发展中国家的个人造成了不成比例的影响。创伤和伤害在低收入和中等收入国家的影响是毁灭性的，因此需要加大努力在这些国家培训有关这一主题的保健专业人员和研究人员。在上一次基于马里兰大学医学院和埃及开罗艾因沙姆斯大学合作的Fogarty国际中心创伤赠款期间，我们培训了来自埃及、伊拉克、苏丹、巴勒斯坦和阿富汗的约450名学员，参加了通过该赠款启动的一个或多个培训项目。在13名参加密集伤害研究暑期培训计划和指导研究项目的学员中，有11人接受了埃及学术机构的教职。剩下的一名受训人员现在是一家医疗保险医院的急诊科主任，而另一名受训人员是卫生部的一名重要的伤害流行病学家。作为我们过去六年在阿拉伯埃及共和国进行的伤害预防研究培训工作的延续，我们将实现三个主要目标，即1)继续培训我们不断增长的创伤医生和急诊医生队伍，使用创伤复苏、损伤研究和收集关于伤害的数据的现有方法，2)与我们正在开发的世界卫生组织(WHO)合作中心合作，进一步发展我们的计划，以扩大我们在埃及和阿拉伯中东开展与伤害相关研究的研究和培训机会，3)扩大我们精选的健康专业人员群体，这些专业人员在我们的夏季伤害研究强化培训课程中接受过培训，接下来是国内指导研究活动，以巩固和扩大我们在埃及和阿拉伯中东的伤害研究核心团队，并与他们合作开发可持续的伤害研究项目。这些目标将在马里兰大学和艾因沙姆斯大学现有成功合作的基础上，在美国和埃及专家的指导下，通过一个协调和有组织的计划来实现。我们在此资助期间的目标是：1)满足世界卫生组织对艾因沙姆斯大学伤害预防和管理研究和培训合作中心的所有持续要求，2)将我们的培训计划扩展到埃及的亚历山大大学和利比亚的加杨尼斯大学，以提高对伤害研究和伤害预防的认识和努力，3)每年至少举办两次与伤害相关的短期培训课程，以及4)每年招收5名学员参加高强度伤害研究夏季/指导性研究项目的长期培训。 公共卫生相关性：该项目是马里兰大学医学院和埃及开罗艾因沙姆斯大学之间的合作项目。它的目的是帮助埃及、利比亚和阿拉伯中东的卫生专业人员增加他们对人类创伤和伤害预防的知识和理解，并将这些知识应用于公共卫生实践，以减少伤害造成的重大发病率和死亡率。
