DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Despite the fact that death rates due to injuries in southern and eastern Europe are 60% higher than in western Europe, injury prevention and control programs remain very limited due to lack of epidemiologic evidence and limited resources. Local injury research capacity is needed to provide an improved understanding of the prevalence and risk factors associated with injuries and to implement effective prevention, treatment, and follow-up strategies. The overall purpose of this project by The University of Iowa is to continue to build a collaborative research training program that will strengthen the capacity to conduct clinical, translation and implementation research on human trauma and injury at three emerging centers of excellence in the Central/Eastern European region: the University of Novi Sad in Serbia; the University of Sarajevo in Bosnia-Herzegovina; and Babes-Bolyai University in Cluj- Napoca, Romania. The specific aims of this project are: (1) to train a critical mass of scientists, nurses, and health professionals in these three countries in a variety of disciplines necessary to assess, treat, prevent, and ameliorate injury-related morbidity and mortality; (2) to develop and strengthen three institutions as sustainable centers of excellence in injury research, including the development of long- term partnerships with The University of Iowa, with NIH, CDC, and WHO, and with other U.S. and international institutions and organizations; (3) to facilitate the transition of trainees to positions of responsibility, authority, and influence in their home countries and other Central/Eastern European countries, regionally, and internationally; and (4) to translate into public health practice the results of research regarding injury prevention and control. This multi-disciplinary program will continue to focus primarily on medium-term research training, augmented by short-term training, and by distance learning and in-country workshops. The program will also offer selected trainees opportunities for long-term training leading to an advanced degree. The program draws on innovative distance learning technology to provide novel training opportunities and facilitate continuity in collaborations and communications. The success of the program is founded on the The University of Iowa's board expertise in injury prevention and control and its years of experience training researchers from the Central/Eastern European region. The transition of trainees to positions of responsibility and influence and the translation of new findings into public health practice will be facilitated by recognition of trainees' expertise and leadership through published research and scientific presentations. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Despite the fact that death rates due to injuries in southern and eastern Europe are 60% higher than in western Europe, injury prevention and control programs remain very limited due to lack of epidemiologic evidence and limited resources. Local injury research capacity is needed to provide an improved understanding of the prevalence and risk factors associated with injuries and to implement effective prevention, treatment, and follow-up strategies. The proposed program to continue to build a collaborative injury research training program, and to develop emerging centers of excellence in the Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Romania, will not only reduce morbidity and mortality in those countries but will contribute significantly to the broader field of clinical, translation and implementation science and how it can be adapted to different cultures and populations.

描述(申请人提供)：尽管南欧和东欧的伤害死亡率比西欧高出60%，但由于缺乏流行病学证据和有限的资源，伤害预防和控制计划仍然非常有限。需要地方伤害研究能力，以更好地了解与伤害相关的流行率和风险因素，并实施有效的预防、治疗和后续战略。爱荷华大学这一项目的总体目的是继续建立一个合作研究培训计划，以加强在中东欧地区三个新兴的卓越中心进行人类创伤和损伤的临床、翻译和实施研究的能力：塞尔维亚的诺维萨德大学、波斯尼亚-黑塞哥维那的萨拉热窝大学和罗马尼亚克卢日-纳波卡的Babes-Bolyai大学。该项目的具体目标是：(1)在这三个国家培训一大批必要学科的科学家、护士和卫生专业人员，以评估、治疗、预防和改善与伤害相关的发病率和死亡率；(2)发展和加强三个机构作为伤害研究的可持续的卓越中心，包括与爱荷华大学、美国国立卫生研究院、美国疾病控制与预防中心、世界卫生组织以及其他美国和国际机构和组织发展长期伙伴关系；(3)促进受训人员在其本国和其他中东欧国家、区域和国际上担任负责、权威和有影响力的职位；以及(4)将有关伤害预防和控制的研究成果转化为公共卫生实践。这一多学科方案将继续主要侧重于中期研究培训，并辅之以短期培训、远程学习和国内讲习班。该计划还将为选定的学员提供获得高级学位的长期培训机会。该计划利用创新的远程学习技术来提供新的培训机会，并促进合作和交流的连续性。该项目的成功建立在爱荷华大学董事会在伤害预防和控制方面的专业知识以及对中东欧地区研究人员的多年培训经验的基础上。通过发表研究和科学报告，承认受训人员的专门知识和领导能力，将促进受训人员向有责任和有影响力的职位过渡，并将新的调查结果转化为公共卫生实践。 与公共卫生相关：尽管南欧和东欧的伤害死亡率比西欧高出60%，但由于缺乏流行病学证据和资源有限，伤害预防和控制方案仍然非常有限。需要地方伤害研究能力，以更好地了解与伤害相关的流行率和风险因素，并实施有效的预防、治疗和后续战略。拟议的计划是继续建立一个合作的伤害研究培训计划，并在塞尔维亚、波斯尼亚-黑塞哥维那和罗马尼亚发展新兴的卓越中心，这不仅将降低这些国家的发病率和死亡率，而且将对更广泛的临床、翻译和实施科学领域以及如何使其适应不同的文化和人口做出重大贡献。
