International Collaborative Trauma and Injury Research Training

描述（由申请人提供）：新的约翰霍普金斯-巴基斯坦国际合作创伤和损伤研究培训计划（JHU-Pak ICTIRT）的总体目标是通过可持续能力发展的创新模式，加强巴基斯坦创伤和损伤急性护理的研究能力。我们的方法将基于美国和巴基斯坦机构的三方安排-约翰霍普金斯大学（JHU），阿加汗大学（AKU）和开伯尔医科大学（KMU）-致力于创伤和损伤研究，研究经验和专业知识以及合作工作的历史。我们的模式将侧重于利用美国的专业知识来加强巴基斯坦的机构，促进专注于创伤和伤害的急性护理的可持续研究企业，并使研究证据的全国传播能够影响巴基斯坦及其未来的政策和投资。JHU-Pak ICTIRT的具体目标是：具体目标1：在巴基斯坦西北部的开伯尔医科大学（KMU）建立一个专注于创伤和损伤急性护理的核心研究小组。这将使巴基斯坦最贫穷和受伤最容易发生的地区之一的公共部门机构能够发展创伤和受伤研究专门知识。具体目标2：促进围绕巴基斯坦创伤和损伤急性护理的国家重点优先事项开展研究。生成相关的国家急性护理研究将是培训计划的一个关键特征，也将用于为国家决策提供信息。具体目标3：在巴基斯坦建立一个关于伤害和创伤急诊护理的国家政策论坛。加强巴基斯坦急性护理研究的关键是发展影响政策和将证据转化为行动的能力。具体目标4：在阿加汗大学（AKU）建立一个东地中海区域卓越中心，研究急性损伤和创伤护理。在AKU专业知识的基础上，该中心将为巴基斯坦和东地中海地区的研究人员提供技术援助，我们将寻求世界卫生组织的正式认可。在AKU根据第一个ICTRT奖开发的创伤和伤害专业知识的基础上，我们提出了一个创新的JHU-Pak ICTIRT计划，该计划将改变巴基斯坦的急性创伤和伤害研究领域。这种变革性的方法意味着，我们将从南北技术援助模式转变为美国催化剂的国家支持模式;从一般伤害研究方向转变为将创伤和伤害的急性护理作为巴基斯坦的主要卫生保健优先事项;从美国培训模式转变为巴基斯坦领导的培训模式。我们将利用在AKU开发的专业知识，以加强在创伤和伤害的急性护理在世界上最动荡的地区之一的研究能力，并开发卓越的中东和南亚的区域中心。 公共卫生相关性：新的约翰霍普金斯大学-巴基斯坦国际创伤和伤害研究合作培训计划（JHU-Pak ICTIRT）的总体目标是通过可持续能力发展的创新模式，加强巴基斯坦创伤和伤害急性护理的研究能力。我们的方法将基于美国和巴基斯坦机构的三方安排-约翰霍普金斯大学（JHU），阿加汗大学（AKU）和开伯尔医科大学（KMU）-致力于创伤和损伤研究，研究经验和专业知识以及合作工作的历史。在AKU根据第一个ICTRT奖开发的创伤和伤害专业知识的基础上，我们提出了一个创新的JHU- Pak ICTIRT计划，该计划将改变巴基斯坦的急性创伤和伤害研究领域。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of the new Johns Hopkins-Pakistan International Collaborative Trauma and Injury Research Training Program (JHU-Pak ICTIRT) is to strengthen research capacity on acute care of trauma and injuries in Pakistan through an innovative model of sustainable capacity development. Our approach will be based on a tri-partite arrangement of institutions in USA and Pakistan - Johns Hopkins University (JHU), Aga Khan University (AKU), and Khyber Medical University (KMU) - with great commitment to trauma and injury research, experience and expertise in research, and history of collaborative work. Our model will focus on using US expertise to strengthen Pakistani institutions, promote a sustainable research enterprise focused on acute care of trauma and injuries, and enable national dissemination of research evidence to influence policy and investments in Pakistan and its future. The specific aims of JHU-Pak ICTIRT are: Specific Aim 1: To develop a core group of researchers focused on acute care of trauma and injuries at Khyber Medical University (KMU) in North-West Pakistan. This will allow for the development of trauma and injury research expertise at a public sector institution in one of the most impoverished and injury prone regions of Pakistan. Specific Aim 2: To promote research around key national priorities for acute care of trauma and injuries in Pakistan. Generation of a relevant national acute care research will be a key feature of the training program and will also be used to inform national decisions. Specific Aim 3: To establish a national policy forum on acute care of injury and trauma in Pakistan (ACT-PAK). Key to strengthening acute care research in Pakistan is developing the capacity to influence policy and translate evidence into actions. Specific Aim 4: To create an Eastern Mediterranean Regional Center of Excellence in research on acute care of injury and trauma at Aga Khan University (AKU). Building on the expertise of AKU, this center will provide technical assistance to researchers in Pakistan and the Eastern Mediterranean Region and we will seek formal recognition by the World Health Organization. Building on the trauma and injury expertise developed at AKU under the first ICTRT award, we are proposing an innovative JHU-Pak ICTIRT program that transforms the acute trauma and injury research landscape in Pakistan. This transformative approach means that we will move from a North- South model of technical assistance to a national enablement model with a US catalyst; from a general injury research orientation to tackling acute care of trauma and injuries as a leading health care priority for Pakistan; and from a US-based training model to a Pakistan-led training model. We will use the expertise developed at AKU to strengthen research capacity in acute care of trauma and injuries in one of the most volatile regions of the world and develop a regional center of excellence for the Middle East and South Asia. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The overall goal of the new Johns Hopkins-Pakistan International Collaborative Trauma and Injury Research Training Program (JHU-Pak ICTIRT) is to strengthen research capacity on acute care of trauma and injuries in Pakistan through an innovative model of sustainable capacity development.
