Training for the Prevention and Treatment of Stroke in China

描述（由申请人提供）：响应千年承诺奖（PAR-08 - 175;非传染性慢性病研究培训计划）杜克临床研究所（DCR1 PD/主要研究者：丹尼尔拉斯科维茨，医学博士），杜克全球健康研究所（DGHI首席研究员：Michael Merson，医学博士），杜克卒中中心（DSC首席研究员：Larry Goldstein，医学博士）与北京大学和乔治研究所中国合作（北大首席研究员：吴阳峰博士）建议在中国建立一个脑卒中预防和治疗的培训项目，即“脑卒中研究培训项目（SRTP）”。"在杜克大学和北京大学已经建立的合作伙伴关系的基础上，SRTP的主要目标是为北京大学的早期到中期职业医生科学家提供以中风为重点的临床，人口和政策研究培训。从杜克全球健康和临床研究培训计划的科学硕士课程中汲取经验，为早期职业研究人员提供的长期培训将使他们获得杜克大学全球健康硕士学位（第二学位）。中期培训将为在培训师模式中寻求特定研究技能的中期北大医学科学家提供以方法为重点的研究培训。所有学员将接触DSC活动，包括DSC卒中奖学金，以及DSC、DCRl和DGHI正在进行的临床研究项目。短期培训将通过每年在北京大学举行的学术研讨会以及相关的专题讨论会和辅导活动提供。课程结束后，学员将与杜克和北大的导师一起积极参与北大的研究活动。中风是中国的主要死因，也是成人残疾的主要原因。拟议的合作将提高杜克/北京大学合作的研究质量和可持续性，并将培训研究人员，为中国中风的预防和治疗做出贡献。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In response to the Millennium Promise Awards (PAR-08-175; Non-communicable Chronic Diseases Research Training Program) the Duke Clinical Research Institute (DCRl PD/Principal Investigator: Daniel Laskowitz, MD), the Duke Global Health Institute (DGHI Principal Investigator: Michael Merson, MD), the Duke Stroke Center (DSC Principal Investigator: Larry Goldstein, MD) in collaboration with Peking University and the George Institute China (PKU Principal Investigator: Yangfeng Wu, MD, PhD) propose to establish a training program in the prevention and treatment of stroke in China, the "Stroke Research Training Program (SRTP)." Building on an already established partnership between Duke University and Peking University, the main objective of the SRTP is to provide stroke-focused training in clinical, population and policy research for early to mid-career physician scientists from Peking University. Drawing from courses in Duke's Master of Science in Global Health and Clinical Research Training Program, long-term training for early career researchers will lead to a (second degree) MSc in Global Health from Duke University. Medium-term training will provide methods-focused research training for mid-career PKU physician scientists seeking a specific research skill in a train the trainer's model. All trainees will be exposed to DSC activities, including the DSC stroke fellowship, and to ongoing clinical research projects in the DSC, the DCRl and the DGHI. Short-term training will be provided in a yearly academic symposium to be held at PKU and by associated topic-focused colloquia and mentoring activities. Upon completion of the program, trainees will be actively involved in PKU research activities in collaboration with Duke and PKU faculty mentors. Stroke is a leading cause of death in China and is a major cause of adult disability. The proposed collaboration will enhance the research quality and sustainability of the Duke/PKU collaboration and will train researchers who will contribute to the prevention and treatment of stroke in China.
