DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The main objective of this program is to provide doctoral training in implementation research in Argentina, thereby building a sustainable, in-country doctoral program allowing Argentine researchers to become successful independent investigators. Implementation research evaluates approaches to implement evidence-based interventions, and hence to improve the quality and effectiveness of health care. Implementation research includes the use of randomized controlled trials and rigorous operational research to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions designed to promote the uptake of research findings into routine healthcare. It also includes a multi-disciplinary approach to understand the determinants of non-communicable diseases and the cultural, socio-economic, and behavioral barriers to implementation of effective interventions. Our approach starts in the pre-conceptional period and includes the entire lifespan. This will be accomplished via a "sandwich PhD program," which will offer doctoral training to qualified candidates who have graduated from the master's program at the Institute for Clinical Effectiveness and Health Policy (IECS) in Buenos Aires, Argentina or from equivalent programs. During Years 1-3 of the program, candidates will enroll in the PhD program at the University of Buenos Aires School of Medicine and will complete their first year of coursework at the Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. During Years 4 and 5 of the program, trainees will only spend one semester at Tulane and will then take new courses to be developed at IECS during the following semester. This will be a step toward the progressive transfer of the entire program to Argentina. The training in implementation research will be focused on two areas of strength at IECS and at Tulane University: maternal and child health and cardiovascular health, linking them in a lifespan approach. After completing the program, trainees will be offered positions and opportunities to collaborate with IECS in ongoing research activities, especially those related to NIH-funded projects. They will also have opportunities to teach PhD students in Argentina.

该计划的主要目标是在阿根廷提供实施研究的博士培训，从而建立一个可持续的国内博士课程，使阿根廷研究人员成为成功的独立调查员。实施研究评估实施循证干预措施的方法，从而提高卫生保健的质量和有效性。实施研究包括使用随机对照试验和严格的操作研究来评估旨在促进将研究结果纳入常规医疗保健的干预措施的有效性。它还包括一个多学科的方法来了解非传染性疾病的决定因素和文化，社会经济和行为障碍，以实施有效的干预措施。我们的方法从受孕前阶段开始，包括整个生命周期。这将通过“三明治博士课程”来完成，该课程将为毕业于阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯临床有效性和卫生政策研究所（IECS）硕士课程或同等课程的合格候选人提供博士培训。在该计划的第1-3年，候选人将在布宜诺斯艾利斯大学医学院攻读博士学位，并将在杜兰公共卫生和热带医学学院完成第一年的课程。在该计划的第4年和第5年，学员将只花一个学期在杜兰大学，然后将采取新的课程将在IECS开发在下一个学期。这将是逐步将整个计划转移到阿根廷的一步。实施研究方面的培训将侧重于国际环境合作研究所和杜兰大学的两个优势领域：孕产妇和儿童健康以及心血管健康，并将其与寿命方法联系起来。完成该项目后，学员将获得与IECS合作进行正在进行的研究活动的职位和机会，特别是与NIH资助的项目相关的研究活动。他们还将有机会在阿根廷教授博士生。
