DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A number of Eastern European and Central Asian countries are considered by the World Bank as lower or middle income countries (LMICs). Their growing economies are undergoing rapid change. Consequently, environmental and occupational health needs are great. The University of Florida Department of Environmental and Global Health, College of Public Health and Health Professions proposes a collaboration with Babe-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, Romania in creating a One Health Center for Environmental and Occupational Research GEOHealth Hub at BBU. The GEOHealth Hub will capitalize on pre-existing research collaborations in partnering with 11 other academic centers in 5 other Eastern European and Central Asian LMICs: Albania, Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhztan, and Moldova. The GEOHealth Hub will focus upon 3 research and training areas 1) Aquatic Health, 2) Food Safety, and 3) Zoonotic Diseases. The long-term objective of the GEOHealth Hub is to strengthen institutional capacity for environmental and occupational research and training at the 12 participating academic centers. Specific aims in the first 2 years are 1) To conduct an evidence-based needs and opportunities assessment to identify environmental and occupational public health problems in Romania, Albania, Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhztan, and Moldova; 2) To establish the GEOHealth Hub at BBU; 3) To design research studies that address the focal research topics of the GEOHealth Hub and to plan the necessary capacity building to successfully conduct the Center's research activities; and 4) To develop an evaluation plan for monitoring the success of Aims 1-3. The proposed GEOHealth Hub is innovative as it will employ the One Health cross-disciplinary approach to engage experts in public, veterinary, and environmental health fields from each of the 12 academic institutions towards research and training projects to improve public health. The GEOHealth Hub will be supported by the University of Florida which has 16 land grant and health science colleges from which to draw research and training expertise, including One Health-oriented courses, One Health Master and PhD degree programs, and One Health research projects.

描述（由申请人提供）：一些东欧和中亚国家被世界银行视为低收入或中等收入国家（LMIC）。它们不断增长的经济正在经历快速变化。因此，环境和职业健康需求很大。佛罗里达大学环境与全球健康系、公共卫生与健康专业学院提议与罗马尼亚克卢日-纳波卡的 Babe-Bolyai 大学合作，在 BBU 创建一个环境和职业研究 GEOHealth 中心的单一健康中心。 GEOHealth 中心将利用现有的研究合作，与另外 5 个东欧和中亚中低收入国家的 11 个学术中心合作：阿尔巴尼亚、亚美尼亚、格鲁吉亚、哈萨克斯坦和摩尔多瓦。 GEOHealth 中心将重点关注 3 个研究和培训领域：1) 水生健康、2) 食品安全和 3) 人畜共患疾病。 GEOHealth 中心的长期目标是加强 12 个参与学术中心的环境和职业研究及培训机构能力。前两年的具体目标是 1) 进行基于证据的需求和机会评估，以确定罗马尼亚、阿尔巴尼亚、亚美尼亚、格鲁吉亚、哈萨克斯坦和摩尔多瓦的环境和职业公共卫生问题； 2）在BBU建立GEOHealth中心； 3) 设计针对 GEOHealth 中心重点研究课题的研究，并规划必要的能力建设，以成功开展中心的研究活动； 4) 制定监测目标 1-3 成功与否的评估计划。 拟议的 GEOHealth 中心具有创新性，因为它将采用 One Health 跨学科方法，吸引来自 12 个学术机构的公共、兽医和环境健康领域的专家参与研究和培训项目，以改善公共卫生。 GEOHealth Hub 将得到佛罗里达大学的支持，该大学拥有 16 个赠地和健康科学学院，可从中汲取研究和培训专业知识，包括 One Health 课程、One Health 硕士和博士学位课程以及 One Health 研究项目。
