描述（由申请人提供）：此 R25 提案“北太平洋全球健康研究人员培训联盟”包括一个由四所美国大学（夏威夷大学、密歇根大学、明尼苏达大学和华盛顿大学）组成的联盟，以及与六个国家（肯尼亚、加纳、乌干达、秘鲁、中国和泰国）的大学和研究机构的合作伙伴关系。该联盟将设在华盛顿大学全球健康系内。四所美国大学均承诺提供总计 595,000 美元的配套资金，以支持最有成效的研究员和其他研究员的第二年奖学金。 N/P 联盟将 (1) 实施强化指导计划，强调为导师和受训者提供所需的具体承诺和指南手册；每两个月一次的基于互联网的正在进行的研究会议，涉及所有全球健康研究员以及出席培训者的导师的共同参与； （二）助力“全球化” 现有的 T32 研究培训项目，并通过积极招募来自 N/P 联盟 161 个 T32 研究培训资助的美国高级研究员和其他受训人员（例如威斯康辛大学健康指标与评估研究所全球健康部高级博士后研究员），加强和拓宽我们联盟全球健康研究项目涉及的学科，(3) 促进跨学科、跨机构、可持续研究伙伴关系的创业发展，特别是在全球健康被忽视的领域，聘请来自学术项目的评论员，这些项目提供 T32 资助，并从中招募全球健康研究人员； (4) 为全球健康研究人员建立“保证”，从第一年经过试验和证明的快速全球研究项目轨迹开始，进展到研究成果的展示和出版，第二年可能为最有前途的学员提供研究金资助，通过新研究项目开发中的进一步机会来帮助他们开展独立职业，持续指导校友申请新的全球健康补助金，例如 Fogarty IRSDA K01 补助金、ISGHA K02 补助金，其他 K 奖，包括 CTSA 奖和基金会奖，旨在创建校友和导师网络，包括发布新出版物、资金和工作机会，以及参与全球健康会议上的跨联盟全球健康研究员聚会。该提案每年将为 12 至 15 名受训人员提供资金，具体取决于第二年受训人员奖励的数量，总共 75 名受训人员。包括公共卫生领域的富布赖特/福格蒂研究员（肯尼亚、加纳和秘鲁各至少一名）在内，他们将在 NIH 接受相同的培训并接受本提案参与者的指导，我们预计在五年资助期内至少有 90 名受训人员。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This R25 proposal, the "Northern/Pacific Global Health Research Fellows Training Consortium" includes a consortium of four U.S. universities (the Universities of Hawaii, Michigan, Minnesota and Washington) and partnerships with universities and research institutions in six countries (Kenya, Ghana, Uganda, Peru, China and Thailand). The Consortium will be housed within the Department of Global Health at the University of Washington. The four U.S. universities have each committed matching funds totaling $595,000 to support a second year of fellowship for the most productive fellows and additional fellows. The N/P Consortium will (1) implement an enhanced mentoring program emphasizing a manual of required, specific commitments and guidelines for mentors and mentees; bimonthly Internet-based research-in-progress sessions involving all Global Health Fellows and joint participation of mentors for the presenting trainee(s); (2) help in "globalizing" existing T32 research training programs, and strengthen and broaden the disciplines involved in our Consortium's global health research programs, by actively recruiting senior U.S. fellows from the 161 T32 research training grants of the N/P Consortium, and other trainees (e.g. senior Department of Global Health postdoctoral fellows of the UW Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation), (3) promote entrepreneurial development of interdisciplinary, cross-institutional, sustainable research partnerships, particularly within neglected areas of global health, engaging comentors from the academic programs that house the T32 grants from which Global Health Research Fellows are recruited; (4) establish a "warranty" for the Global Health Research Fellows, beginning with a tried and proven expedited global research project trajectory during year one, progressing to presentation and then publication of research, a potential second year of fellowship funding for the most promising trainees, to assistance launching independent careers through further opportunities in new research programs as they develop, to ongoing mentoring of alumni in applications for new global health grants, such as Fogarty IRSDA K01 grants, ISGHA K02 grants, other K awards, including CTSA awards and Foundation awards, to creation of an alumni and mentor network involving posting of new publications, funding and job opportunities, and potential participation in cross-consortium Global Health Fellows reunions at global health conferences. This proposal would provide funding for a total of 12-15 trainees each year, depending on the number of second year trainee awards - for a total of 75 trainees. Including the Fulbright/Fogarty Fellows in Public Health (at least one each in Kenya, Ghana and Peru), who will receive the same orientation at NIH and mentoring by participants in this proposal, we anticipate at least 90 trainees over the five-year grant period.
