DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The project aims to build sustainable research capabilities in relation to the prevention of cardiovascular disease and diabetes in India, Sri Lanka and Malaysia. In view of current trends observed in each of these countries, the long-term objective of the project is to reduce the disease burden of the growing epidemic of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and their associated complications in these three Asian countries through the development of a sustainable network of researchers and research institutions with the capacity to conduct appropriate, high quality research into the prevention of chronic non-communicable diseases. A total of 39 trainees will be recruited over three cohort intakes (n=13) to participate in an 18-month research capacity building program. The program will consist of a mentored research project in participants' home countries and participation in two residential short courses in Malaysia that will focus on cardiovascular disease and diabetes prevention, research methods and knowledge translation. The program will be led by a project team consisting of experts in chronic disease management, prevention and research capacity building in the Asia Pacific region. The program makes use of state-of-the-art facilities at Monash University in Malaysia, which have already been utilized to deliver similar courses over the past 2 years. Partner institutions have been selected on the basis of their leadership, capacity and track record in research into the increasing burden of cardiovascular disease and diabetes in their countries. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Cardiovascular disease, diabetes and their associated conditions are the fastest growing and most important causes of mortality and morbidity in India, Sri Lanka and Malaysia. Local research capacity needs strengthening to improve the evidence base for policy and intervention design, specifically in relation to prevention. The knowledge translation gap can be best reduced by improving research capability.

该项目旨在建立与印度，斯里兰卡和马来西亚预防心血管疾病和糖尿病有关的可持续研究能力。鉴于这些国家目前的趋势，该项目的长期目标是通过发展一个可持续的研究人员和研究机构网络，高质量的慢性非传染性疾病预防研究。总共将招募39名受训人员参加为期18个月的研究能力建设计划。该计划将包括在参与者本国的指导研究项目，并参加马来西亚的两个短期住宿课程，重点是心血管疾病和糖尿病的预防，研究方法和知识翻译。该项目将由一个由亚太地区慢性病管理、预防和研究能力建设专家组成的项目小组领导。该计划利用了马来西亚莫纳什大学的最先进的设施，这些设施在过去两年中已经被用来提供类似的课程。伙伴机构的选择是根据其在研究本国日益增加的心血管疾病和糖尿病负担方面的领导能力、能力和业绩记录。 公共卫生相关性：在印度、斯里兰卡和马来西亚，心血管疾病、糖尿病及其相关疾病是增长最快和最重要的死亡和发病原因。地方研究能力需要加强，以改善政策和干预措施设计的证据基础，特别是在预防方面。通过提高研究能力，可以最好地缩小知识翻译差距。
