ABSTRACT We propose to establish a Support Center (Consortium) involving University of California- Berkeley, Yale University, Stanford University and Florida International University to train postdoctoral fellows, PhD graduate students, and medical students for them to develop a long- term career in global health research. The main objective of the program is to generate a new and young cadre of global health researchers, educators, and professionals who will be prepared to address the new challenges in global health that arise from our constantly changing planet, in particular, those challenges that emerge from the world's burgeoning human settlements known as slums that have developed in urban and rural communities of many low and middle-income countries (LMIC). Slum-specific factors associated with chronic, noncommunicable, as well as infectious diseases, environmental health hazards, risks specific to women and children, intentional and unintentional injuries, and mental disorders are poorly understood, and there are not many researchers dealing with these issues. These diseases comprise a large proportion of the world's health problems. Our training program will emphasize a multidisciplinary, problem-based approach using slum health as a platform to expose trainees to the new concepts, models, and approaches to global health research. The training will be conducted at US government-funded field research sites at 10 locations abroad, including Central and South America, Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, East Asia, and Eastern Europe, where the Consortium mentors have been conducting research for more than 3 years. The Consortium includes a large reservoir of postdoctoral fellows and upper division graduate and medical students who will be candidates for the training program. The Consortium has made a special effort to identify potential trainees from under-represented minority groups and it has thus partnered with Florida International University, the largest Hispanic-serving institution in the continental US, which also has a large pool of African-American students. Thus, this research training program will provide an opportunity to draw highly skilled researchers from diverse backgrounds from a wide spectrum of disciplines, who will use the knowledge gained from this program to develop their own research agenda to improve the lives of people who are exposed to a wide range of interacting health risks that engender new global health challenges.

抽象的 我们建议建立一个涉及加利福尼亚大学的支持中心（财团） 伯克利，耶鲁大学，斯坦福大学和佛罗里达国际大学训练 博士后研究员，博士研究生和医学生，以发展长期 全球健康研究的期限职业。该计划的主要目的是生成新的 以及将成为全球健康研究人员，教育者和专业人士的年轻干部 准备解决我们不断变化的全球健康中新挑战 尤其是星球，这些挑战从世界蓬勃发展的人类中出现 在许多低矮的城市和农村社区中发展为贫民窟的定居点 和中等收入国家（LMIC）。与慢性有关的贫民窟特异性因素 非传染性疾病，环境健康危害，特定风险 对于妇女和儿童，故意和无意的伤害以及精神障碍很差 理解，并且没有多少研究人员处理这些问题。这些疾病 占世界健康问题的很大一部分。我们的培训计划将 强调使用贫民窟健康作为平台的多学科，基于问题的方法 将受训者暴露于全球健康研究的新概念，模型和方法中。这 将在国外10个地点的美国政府资助的现场研究地点进行培训， 包括中美洲和南美，撒哈拉以南非洲，南亚，东亚和东部 欧洲，财团导师已经进行研究超过3年。 该财团包括大量的博士后研究员和上层毕业生 和将成为培训计划候选人的医学生。财团有 做出了特别的努力，以确定代表性不足的少数群体的潜在受训者，IT 因此，与佛罗里达国际大学（佛罗里达国际大学）合作，该大学是最大的西班牙裔服务机构 在美国大陆，也有大量的非裔美国学生。因此，这个 研究培训计划将提供一个机会，从 各种各样的学科的不同背景，他们将利用所获得的知识 从这个计划制定自己的研究议程，以改善 暴露于各种相互作用的健康风险，这些风险引起了新的全球健康挑战。
