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（由申请人提供）：伤害是一个日益严重的全球公共卫生问题，每天有数千人死亡，受伤和残疾。作为世界上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影响尤为严重。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。在之前的福格蒂国际中心创伤赠款的基础上，医学的马里兰州学校和艾因夏姆斯大学在开罗，埃及大学之间的合作，我们培训了大约450名学员从埃及，伊拉克，苏丹，巴勒斯坦和阿富汗在一个或多个培训计划通过赠款启动。13名学员中有11人参加了密集的伤害研究夏季培训计划和指导研究项目，他们接受了埃及学术机构的教职。剩下的受训人员中，一人现在是一家健康保险医院急诊科主任，另一人是卫生部的一名重要伤害流行病学家。作为我们过去六年在阿拉伯埃及共和国成功开展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）继续培训我们日益壮大的创伤学家和急诊医生骨干队伍，使他们能够使用目前可用的创伤复苏、伤害研究和伤害数据收集方法，2）与我们发展中的世界卫生组织（WHO）合作中心一起，进一步发展我们的计划，以扩大埃及和阿拉伯中东地区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，他们接受了我们密集的夏季伤害研究培训课程的培训，其次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地区的伤害研究人员的核心小组，并与他们合作，制定可持续的伤害研究计划。这些目标将通过建立在马里兰州和艾因夏姆斯大学之间现有的成功合作与美国和埃及专家的指导下协调和有组织的计划来实现。我们在本资助期内的目标是：1）满足世卫组织正在进行的所有要求，以最终确定我们在艾因夏姆斯大学的世卫组织伤害预防和管理研究和培训合作中心，2）将我们的培训计划扩大到埃及亚历山大大学和利比亚加扎尼斯大学，以提高对伤害研究和伤害预防的认识和努力，及（三）每年举办最少两个短期训练课程;及（四）每年招收五名学员参加"暑期创伤研究/导师研究计划长期训练。 公共卫生相关性：该项目由马里兰州大学医学院和埃及开罗艾因夏姆斯大学合作。该项目旨在帮助埃及、利比亚和中东阿拉伯国家的卫生专业人员增加对人类创伤和伤害预防的知识和了解，并将这些知识应用于公共卫生实践，以降低伤害造成的严重发病率和死亡率。
