Project Summary Vector-borne Disease Research Training Program in China This research training application seeks funding to promote career development and capacity building in vector biology research in China. Vector-borne diseases are a major public health problem in China and vector control represents the most effective method for dengue and malaria prevention. However, it is remarkable that given these circumstances vector biology research capacity in China is limited and underfunded. Among major gaps in medical entomological research in China are descriptive, non- mechanistic studies of vector ecology, student knowledge deficiency in mosquito taxonomy, molecular biology and genomics techniques, and disconnection between scientific findings from medical entomologists and vector control policy makers. This training program is designed to fill these major gaps in medical entomology research and vector control in China. The scientific objectives of this training application focus on vector population and community ecology, insecticide resistance genetics, and translational research in malaria and dengue vector control. We propose two tracks of training: long-term training of six Ph.D. students and four postdoctoral fellows from China, and short-term training of ten junior scientists and professional vector control staff, including policy makers in charge of vector-borne disease control. In addition to obtaining research experience in both laboratory-based molecular biology and field- based ecological research, each year we will organize a core training curriculum that focuses on biostatistics and data management, ecology, vector systematics, scientific writing and responsible conduct of research. The core training curriculum will be open to a large audience. The superb infrastructure and capacity in the international training sites (Southern Medical University in China and China CDC) and in the U.S. (University of California at Irvine) are particularly suitable for the proposed training. This training program will contribute significantly to the career development of the Chinese scientists by bridging laboratory and field research experience in vector biology, by equipping them with new technologies, and by enabling them to develop independent or collaborative research projects. The main scientific issues addressed in this application are common to dengue and malaria vectors in the world, thus the findings from our program are anticipated to have general significance in vector-borne disease control in other regions.

项目摘要 中国媒介传播疾病研究培训项目 这项研究培训申请寻求资金，以促进职业发展， 中国病媒生物学研究能力建设。病媒传播的疾病是一个主要的 中国的公共卫生问题和病媒生物控制是最有效的方法 用于登革热和疟疾的预防。然而，值得注意的是，鉴于这些 在这种情况下，中国的病媒生物学研究能力有限，资金不足。 中国医学昆虫学研究的主要差距是描述性的，非描述性的， 媒介生态学的机制研究，学生对蚊子知识的缺乏 分类学、分子生物学和基因组学技术，以及 医学昆虫学家和病媒控制政策制定者的科学发现。这 培训计划旨在填补医学昆虫学研究中的这些主要空白 和病媒控制。本培训应用程序的科学目标侧重于 病媒种群和群落生态学、杀虫剂抗性遗传学，以及 疟疾和登革热病媒控制的转化研究。我们提出两条轨道， 培养：长期培养6名博士学生和四名博士后研究员， 短期培训十名初级科学家和病媒控制专业人员 工作人员，包括负责病媒传播疾病控制的决策者。除了 获得实验室分子生物学和现场研究经验， 基于生态研究，每年我们将组织一个核心培训课程， 侧重于生物统计学和数据管理，生态学，媒介系统学，科学 写作和负责任的研究行为。核心培训课程将向下列人员开放： 很多观众一流的基础设施和国际培训能力 研究中心（中国南方医科大学和中国疾病预防控制中心）和美国（大学 （位于Irvine的加州）特别适合所提出的训练。本次培训 该计划将为中国科学家的职业发展做出重大贡献 通过在病媒生物学的实验室和实地研究经验之间建立桥梁， 他们与新技术，并使他们能够开发独立或 合作研究项目。本申请中涉及的主要科学问题 是登革热和疟疾病媒的常见病媒，因此， 预计该计划在媒介传播疾病控制方面具有普遍意义， 其他地区。
