DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): UC Davis Program in International and Community Nutrition Proposal Chronic and Non-communicable Diseases Across the Lifespan Training Award: "Nutritional antecedents of chronic diseases and disorders in low-income populations" The objective of the proposed training program is to strengthen and sustain the capability of three developing countries (Ghana, Malawi and Bangladesh) to conduct research on maternal and child health and nutrition issues and their relation to non-communicable diseases across the lifespan, and to apply this knowledge to improve health and other functional outcomes in low-income populations. This will be accomplished through 1) pre-doctoral training leading to a PhD in Nutritional Biology or Epidemiology for 6 students from the three partner countries, 2) medium-term (6 month) training at UC Davis for selected candidates from the three partner countries, 3) short courses within each of the three partner courses, and 4) collaborative research projects, including one-time research support for new PhDs at the time of reentry into their home countries. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed training grant will increase the number of well-trained investigators with the knowledge and skills to initiate and conduct rigorous research on the nutritional antecedents of chronic diseases and disorders in low-income populations. This program will help to fill a critical need for qualified scientists who are able to investigate the relationships between nutrition in early life and non-communicable diseases across the lifespan, and to apply this knowledge to improve long-term health and other functional outcomes in low-income populations.

描述（由申请人提供）：加州大学戴维斯分校国际和社区营养计划提案慢性和非传染性疾病终身培训奖：“低收入人群慢性疾病和紊乱的营养前因”拟议培训方案的目标是加强和维持三个发展中国家的能力，（加纳、马拉维和孟加拉国）就孕产妇和儿童健康和营养问题及其与整个生命周期的非传染性疾病的关系开展研究，并将这一知识用于改善低收入人口的健康和其他功能成果。这将通过以下方式实现：1）来自三个合作国家的6名学生获得营养生物学或流行病学博士学位的博士前培训，2）来自三个合作国家的选定候选人在加州大学戴维斯分校进行中期（6个月）培训，3）三个合作伙伴课程中的每一个课程的短期课程，以及4）合作研究项目，包括为新博士在重返本国时提供一次性研究支持。 公共卫生关系：拟议的培训补助金将增加训练有素的调查人员的人数，这些调查人员具备知识和技能，能够发起和开展关于低收入人口慢性疾病和紊乱的营养因素的严格研究。该计划将有助于满足合格科学家的迫切需求，他们能够调查生命早期营养与整个生命周期的非传染性疾病之间的关系，并将这些知识应用于改善低收入人群的长期健康和其他功能结果。
