Iowa Non-communicable Chronic Diseases Research Training Program in Romania

这份重新提交的申请书建议对罗马尼亚研究人员进行预防和管理 非传染性慢性疾病（癌症、脑血管疾病、肺病、肥胖症、 环境和生活方式因素）。罗马尼亚是一个比较大的国家，2000年人口为2200万。 中欧/东欧是世卫组织六个区域中“受非传染性慢性病影响最严重的区域”。 虽然罗马尼亚在慢性病管理方面有大量的临床专业知识， 在以人口为基础的研究、预防战略和 公共卫生干预。在五年的时间里，该计划将吸引早期和中期职业科学家 和保健专业人员的中期培训（25）、短期培训（15）、长期培训（3-4）， 在一个创新的“短期等效”远程教育活动计划中， 使用互联网网络会议。此外，中期和长期学员将进行一系列的 罗马尼亚联合研讨会。该计划的主要合作机构将是中心， 罗马尼亚克卢伊-纳波卡的Babes-Bolyai大学的卫生政策和公共卫生， 罗马尼亚的其他附属机构也将参与。各方面的专业知识和指导 非传染性慢性病的治疗将由一个高素质的爱荷华大学的骨干提供。 来自罗马尼亚多个院系和学院以及多个机构的教师。 该计划的教师反映了广泛的研究领域，从遗传学到流行病学，以临床 从研究到实施科学。本方案的设计是根据经验进行的 以前和目前的研究培训计划在该地区和网络上建立了良好的 合作者项目人员掌握社会、经济、政治和文化的第一手知识， 影响罗马尼亚和该地区健康的因素他们开发并完善了一个既定的模型， 用于培训未来的科学家和公共卫生专业人员， 从而减少非传染性慢性病的发生和影响。 相关性（见说明）： 最新数据表明，非传染性慢性病占所有死亡人数的90 罗马尼亚的有虽然世界各国的非传染性慢性病发病率很高， 在中欧和东欧地区，罗马尼亚提供了一个独特的机会， 并对该地区的邻国产生“溢出”效应。

This re-submitted application proposes to train Romanian researchers in the prevention and management of non-communicable chronic diseases (cancer, cerebrovascular diseases, lung disease, obesity, envirnomental and lifestyle factors). Romania is a relatively large country with a population of 22 million in Central/Eastern Europe, "the worst afflicted by non-communicable chronic diseases" ofthe six WHO regions. Although significant clinical expertise exists in Romania regarding the management of chronic diseases, research expertise is almost totally lacking in regard to population-based studies, prevention strategies, and public health interventions. Over a five-year period, this program will engage early and mid-career scientists and health professionals in intermediate-term training (25), short-term training (15), long-term training (3-4), and in an innovative program of "short-term-equivalent" distance education activities that will make extensive use of Internet web-conferencing. Additionally, intermediate and long-term trainees will conduct a series of joint workshops in Romania. The primary collaborating institution for this program will be the Center for Health Policy and Public Health at Babes-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, although a number of other affliated institutions in Romania will also be involved. Expertise and mentoring in the various aspects of non-communicable chronic diseases will be provided by a cadre of highly qualified University of lowa faculty members from a number of departments and colleges as well as from several institutions in Romania. The program faculty reflects a broad range of research areas from genetics to epidemiology to clinical research to implementation science. The design of this program is based on experiences conducting previous and current research training programs in the region and on a network of well-established collaborators. Program personnel have first-hand knowledge ofthe social, economic, political, and cultural factors impacting health in Romania and the region They have developed and refined an established model for training future scientists and public health professionals that will be applied to increase understanding of, and, therefore, reduce the occurence and impact of non-communicable chronic diseases. RELEVANCE (See instmctions): The most recent data indicates that non-communicable chronic diseases account for about 90% of all deaths in Romania. Although there are high rates of non-communicable chronic diseases in countries throughout the Central and Eastern European region, Romania provides a unique opportunity to have a large impact on these diseases and to have a "spillover" effect on neighboring countries in the region.
