Linked-Strengthening Maternal, Newborn & Child Health Research Training in Kenya

描述（由申请人提供）：加强肯尼亚的孕产妇，新生儿和儿童健康研究培训是与肯尼亚创新医学教育伙伴关系（PRIME Kenya）的计划资助有关的应用程序。该关联奖的首要目标是在内罗毕大学（UON）建立一个卓越的孕产妇，新生儿和儿童健康合作中心（MNCH），该中心将建立研究能力，并在实施科学和应用研究，健康指标和评估以及与实现肯尼亚健康发展目标相关的计划领导方面提供出色的培训。将与华盛顿大学合作，通过以下具体目标完成这项工作：目标1。为了建设进行多学科实施科学研究的能力，将其转化为政策和实践，将为儿科、妇产科和社区卫生领域的医学院和研究生实施一项包括短期、中期和长期培训的培训方案。应用研究方法和健康指标方面的培训将与综合的孕产妇、新生儿和儿童保健临床和方案管理培训相结合，以优化向肯尼亚妇女、婴儿和儿童提供适当的、高影响力的服务。 AIM 2.为了促进与卫生部合作加强社区一级MNCH工作的实施科学研究，UON COE将为来自至少两个不同学科的医学院和/或研究生团队提供机会竞争基于UON-UW导师计划支持的分散临床培训地点的MNCH项目，通过PRIME-肯尼亚方案奖开发的基于设施和社区的数据收集和评价系统。 AIM 3.为了提高MNCH计划的领导能力，并在MNCH中建立UON和肯尼亚卫生部（MOH）计划之间的桥梁，UON COE将与Afya Bora财团合作，提供为期9个月的奖学金和为期5周的领导，公共卫生政策，计划管理，监测和评估以及利用参与式学习的相关研究方法的证书课程，扩大实地访问和实习。 公共卫生相关性：在MNCH在UON实施科学研究的能力增加将产生毕业生与提高能力，将已知的干预措施转化为实践。实施研究的机会将有助于保留教师，因为他们推出独立的研究生涯。项目领导力培训将为培养未来的学术和卫生部项目领导者奠定基础。 总体而言，采取这些战略后，孕产妇和新生儿保健的健康指标将得到改善。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Strengthening Maternal, Newborn & Child Health Research Training in Kenya is an application linked to the Programmatic grant of the Partnership for Innovative Medical Education in Kenya (PRIME Kenya). The overarching aim of this Linked Award is to establish a Collaborative Center of Excellence in Maternal, Newborn, & Child Health (MNCH) at the University of Nairobi (UON) which will build research capacity and provide outstanding training in implementation science and applied research, health metrics and evaluation, and program leadership relevant to achieving Kenya's health development goals. This will be done in collaboration with the University of Washington through the following specific aims: AIM 1. To build capacity to conduct multidisciplinary implementation science research that translates into policy and practice, a training program consisting of short-, medium- and long-term training will be implemented for medical faculty and post-graduates in Pediatrics, Obstetrics/Gynecology and Community Health. Training in applied research methods and health metrics will be coupled with integrated MNCH clinical and program management training in order to optimize delivery of appropriate, high-impact services to women, infants and children in Kenya. AIM 2. To promote implementation science research that strengthens MNCH efforts at the community level in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, the UON COE will provide opportunities for teams of medical faculty and/or post-graduates from at least two different disciplines to compete for MNCH projects based at decentralized clinical training sites supported by the UON-UW mentorship program and, facility and community-based data collection and evaluation systems developed through the PRIME-Kenya programmatic award. AIM 3. To enhance MNCH program leadership capacity and build bridges between the UON and the Kenya Ministries of Health (MOH) programs in MNCH, the UON COE will collaborate with the Afya Bora Consortium to offer an 9-month fellowship and a 5-week certificate program in leadership, public health policy, program management, monitoring and evaluation and relevant research methodology that utilizes participatory learning, extended field visits and attachments. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Increased capacity for implementation science research in MNCH at the UON will produce graduates with increased ability to translate known interventions into practice. Opportunities for implementation research will contribute to retention of faculty as they launch independent research careers. Training in program leadership will lay a foundation for grooming future leaders in academic and Ministry of Health programs. Overall the MNCH health indicators will improve following these strategies.
