DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Pennsylvania (Penn), in collaboration with the Universidad de San Carlos of Guatemala City (USAC) and Universidad de Francisco Marroqumn (UFM) in Guatemala submit this application to develop an innovative trauma and injury research training program for clinicians and researchers from USAC and UFM. There will be two training pathways. The first, Independent Investigator training, is specifically designed to prepare individuals for academic or research positions in Guatemalan universities, hospitals, and/or government. These individuals will become rigorous, independent investigators able to use the range of approaches available in public health and epidemiology to address important research issues regarding the etiology, prognosis, prevention and early detection, treatment, economics, technology assessment, and decision making with respect to trauma and injury. The second pathway, Associate Investigator training, is designed is to prepare clinicians and research staff at USAC and UFM to serve as collaborators in trauma and injury research and/or policy formulation. Graduates from both pathways will form multidisciplinary trauma and injury research teams and in their home institutions, in order to synergize and support their research efforts. Year one of the two-year Independent Investigator training program will be conducted at Penn. Trainees will matriculate in the Master of Science in Clinical Epidemiology or the Master of Public Health degree programs and, among other activities, will take courses in public health, epidemiology, research methods, biostatistics, and injury epidemiology; participate in research conferences focusing on trauma and injury research; and, most importantly, design an independent research project. The second year, to be completed at their home institution, will be devoted to the conduct and completion of the independent research project. Trainees' mentors from Penn will visit during this year to provide on-site guidance. The Associate Investigator pathway will consist of a series of short courses, workshops, and programs taught in Spanish at USAC and UFM and supplemented via live two-way video conferences and web-based programs. Additional matching funds have been committed by the Guatemalan government and Penn. Program strengths: 1) long-standing, collaborative partnerships Penn has developed in Guatemala with USAC and UFM; 2) Penn's history of successful research training programs (e.g., a founder of the International Clinical Epidemiology Network); 3) comprehensive course offerings available to trauma and injury research trainees at Penn; 4) training to provide collaborators and staff for research teams; 5) research organizations to which the trainees will be proposed to join; 6) matching funds provided by the Guatemalan government and Penn; 7) the direct support of the Guatemalan National Commission on Trauma and other public and private entities; and 8) an existing Guatemalan research training program at Penn that, together with the program proposed here, will greatly increase the likelihood of a critical mass of highly trained Guatemalan scientists.

描述(由申请人提供)：宾夕法尼亚大学(宾夕法尼亚大学)与危地马拉城圣卡洛斯大学(USAC)和危地马拉旧金山大学(UFM)合作提交了这份申请，旨在为USAC和UFM的临床医生和研究人员开发创新型创伤和损伤研究培训计划。将有两条训练路径。第一个是独立调查员培训，专门为个人在危地马拉大学、医院和/或政府担任学术或研究职位做准备。这些人将成为严格的独立调查人员，能够使用公共卫生和流行病学中可用的一系列方法来解决有关创伤和伤害的病因、预后、预防和早期发现、治疗、经济、技术评估和决策的重要研究问题。第二条途径，副研究员培训，旨在培养USAC和UFM的临床医生和研究人员，使他们成为创伤和伤害研究和/或政策制定的合作者。来自这两条道路的毕业生将组成多学科创伤和伤害研究团队，并在本国机构，以协同和支持他们的研究努力。为期两年的独立调查员培训计划的第一年将在宾夕法尼亚大学进行。学员将攻读临床流行病学理学硕士或公共卫生硕士学位课程，除其他活动外，还将学习公共卫生、流行病学、研究方法、生物统计学和伤害流行病学的课程；参加专注于创伤和伤害研究的研究会议；以及最重要的是，设计一个独立的研究项目。第二年将在其本国机构完成，将专门用于开展和完成独立研究项目。宾夕法尼亚大学的学员导师将在今年到访，提供现场指导。助理调查员课程将包括一系列短期课程、研讨会和在USAC和UFM用西班牙语授课的项目，并通过现场双向视频会议和基于网络的项目进行补充。危地马拉政府和宾夕法尼亚州立大学已承诺提供额外的配套资金。计划的优势：1)宾夕法尼亚州立大学与USAC和UFM在危地马拉建立了长期的合作伙伴关系；2)宾夕法尼亚州立大学成功的研究培训方案的历史(例如，国际临床流行病学网络的创始人)；3)为宾夕法尼亚州立大学的创伤和伤害研究实习生提供全面的课程；4)培训，为研究团队提供合作者和工作人员；5)培训受训者将被建议加入的研究组织；6)危地马拉政府和宾夕法尼亚大学提供的匹配资金；7)危地马拉国家创伤委员会和其他公共和私人实体的直接支持；8)宾夕法尼亚大学现有的危地马拉研究培训计划，与这里提出的计划一起，将极大地增加聚集大量训练有素的危地马拉科学家的可能性。
