Interdisciplinary Cerebrovascular Diseases Training Program in South America

描述（由申请人提供）：这项名为“ICTuS：南美跨学科脑血管培训计划”的修订后的NCD-LIFESPAN应用程序的总体目标是通过确定中风的环境，生活方式和宿主风险因素来降低秘鲁脑血管疾病的发病率和死亡率，并与政府和学术机构合作制定政策以减少通过该计划确定的人口水平风险因素。为实现这一目标，我们提出了以下具体目标：1)为20名有前途的年轻脑血管神经病学和康复医学医生提供严格的临床研究方法培训——长期目标是培养一支从事脑血管疾病流行病学和病因学独立研究的医师临床科学家骨干队伍，并最终在秘鲁发展和领导独立研究项目；2)为这20名秘鲁学员提供临床研究指导项目资金，为临床研究提供实践经验，并为今后的资助申请获取试点数据；3)建立学术机构与秘鲁卫生部之间的联盟，以促进制定和执行政策战略，将研究成果转化为改善与脑血管疾病有关的公共卫生。这些具体目标将通过短期、中期和长期培训相结合的方式来实现，重点是在秘鲁大学卡耶塔诺埃雷迪亚分校（UPCH）和华盛顿大学（UW）进行硕士学位培训，并在华盛顿大学进行为期三个月的流行病学研究方法综合培训，具有中风管理和康复医学的实践经验。我们还建议举办关于脑血管和慢性病流行病学、论文和经费准备以及负责任的研究行为的短期培训讲习班；导师培训课程将与讲习班同时举行。这一拟议的培训计划的最大优势是之前在秘鲁的UW/UPCH培训计划的成功合作；来自西雅图和秘鲁的世界知名临床研究人员、神经流行病学家和中风专家将担任导师；以及秘鲁发达的研究基地。通过以前福加蒂资助的培训方案培训的秘鲁同事的庞大网络提供了一个很好的机会，可以利用现有的研究和培训专门知识，扩大能力，以解决秘鲁慢性病，特别是脑血管疾病日益增加的负担。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overarching goal of this revised NCD-LIFESPAN application entitled "ICTuS: Interdisciplinary Cerebrovascular Training program in South America" is to reduce morbidity and mortality of cerebrovascular disease in Peru through identifying environmental, lifestyle and host risk factors for stroke and collaborate with governmental and academic institutions to develop policies to decrease population-level risk factors identified through this program. To attain this goal we propose the following specific aims: 1) provide rigorous clinical research methodological training for 20 promising young physicians in cerebrovascular neurology and rehabilitation medicine - with the long-term goal of developing a cadre of physician clinician scientists who will conduct independent research on the epidemiology and etiology of cerebrovascular diseases and eventually develop and lead independent research programs in Peru; 2) fund mentored clinical research projects for these 20 Peruvian trainees to provide practical experiences in clinical research and obtain pilot data for future grant applications; and 3) build alliances between academic institutions and the Peruvian Ministry of Health to facilitate development and implementation of policy strategies to translate research findings into improved public health relevant to cerebrovascular disease. These specific aims will be addressed through a combination of short, medium and long-term training, with an emphasis on master's degree training at the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia (UPCH) and the University of Washington (UW) and three-month Comprehensive training in epidemiologic research methods at the UW with practical experience in stroke management and rehabilitation medicine. We also propose short training workshops in cerebrovascular and chronic diseases epidemiology, manuscript and grant preparation, and responsible conduct of research; mentor training courses will be held concomitantly with workshops. The greatest strengths of this proposed training program are the successful collaborations of prior UW/UPCH training programs in Peru; world- renowned clinical researchers, neuroepidemiologists, and stroke experts in Seattle and Peru who will serve as mentors; and well-developed study sites in Peru. The vast network of Peruvian colleagues trained through prior Fogarty-funded training programs provides an outstanding opportunity to leverage existing research and training expertise to expand capacity to address the increasing burden of chronic diseases, specifically cerebrovascular disease, in Peru.
