PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT India's NCD burden is increasing at an alarming rate, now including, eg, >50 million diabetics. This demanding burden can be lessened by research and prevention programs both create awareness and provide effective and efficient strategies for action. This proposal targets this burden with an institution and individual capacity building and training program developed under ICOHRTA by a collaboration between UAB and the Madras Diabetes Research Foundation (MDRF) in Chennai. The highly successful training model that evolved goes beyond degree training to institutional capacity building and enhancing individual research capability broadly across career stages and paths with a major focus on activities within India. It addresses NCD broadly with an International Training Seminar held in India and designed to provide awareness and skills for delegates from, and enhancing the capacity of, an array of medical colleges and health sector institutes and agencies. The seminar includes annually >100 delegates and >20 faculty, a mixture of a US team and a selection of highly respected Indian scientists and educators. Also proposed are continuing the Intensive Sessions with a focus on 10 specific research projects per year, a series of in-house workshops at 2+ institutions per year designed to build institute capacity and enhance dissertation projects and a seminar series, some during the proposed twice-monthly video conferences and some during visits to the institutions. Another proposed component is to continue the short-term training in the US, for 4/year for pre-determined highly focused training. This overall strategy has proven highly productive in producing PhDs, with 18 completed since 2002 and 24 currently underway with the added benefit that all these persons remain in India except a post-doc in the US. Important new initiatives will expand the breadth and depth of the ongoing program and include creating a Community Medicine Faculty Forum; a focus on Developing Common NCD Definitions and Data Collection Procedures; a Train the Trainers Program, designed to make existing procedures and methods plus those a result of the Forum and common methods activities above readily available via a webpage; a process for adding new collaborating institutions, at least one per year; a process for creating new courses at MDRF and continuing and expanding a Genomics Training Program. These proposed activities will continue to influence the extent and nature of NCD research at the participating institutions and beyond to India, beyond their already considerable impact. Trainees now hold important positions in the health sector in India. Further MDRF and the trainees have developed a most laudable scientific project and publication record during the collaboration. The course and the nature of the activities will be guided by the existing Internal Advisory Committee and the Training Advisory Committee to be created.

项目总结/摘要 印度的非传染性疾病负担正以惊人的速度增加，现在包括，例如，> 5000万糖尿病患者。这 通过研究和预防计划，既可以提高认识， 有效和高效的行动战略。这项建议针对这一负担与机构和个人 能力建设和培训计划，由UAB和ICOHRTA合作开发， 马德拉斯糖尿病研究基金会（MDRF）在钦奈。非常成功的培训模式， 从学位培训到机构能力建设和提高个人研究能力 广泛跨越职业阶段和道路，主要侧重于印度境内的活动。它广泛涉及非传染性疾病 在印度举办了一次国际培训研讨会，旨在为代表们提供认识和技能 加强一系列医学院和卫生部门研究所和机构的能力。 该研讨会每年包括>100名代表和>20名教师，一个美国团队和一个选择的混合物， 备受尊敬的印度科学家和教育家。还建议继续进行强化课程，并进行 每年侧重于10个具体研究项目，每年在2个以上机构举办一系列内部研讨会 旨在建设研究所的能力，加强论文项目和一系列研讨会，其中一些是在2010年期间举办的。 提议每月举行两次视频会议，有些会议在访问各机构期间举行。另一个提出的 一个组成部分是继续在美国的短期培训，为4/年的预先确定的高度集中 训练事实证明，这一总体战略在培养博士学位方面卓有成效，自2002年以来已完成了18个项目 目前正在进行的有24个，额外的好处是，除了一个博士后，所有这些人都留在印度。 美方重要的新举措将扩大正在进行的计划的广度和深度，包括 创建社区医学教师论坛;重点是制定共同的NCD定义和数据 收集程序;培训培训员方案，旨在使现有程序和方法 这些是论坛和上述共同方法活动的成果，可通过网页随时查阅; 增加新的合作机构，每年至少一个;在MDRF创建新课程的过程 并继续和扩大基因组学培训计划。这些拟议活动将继续 影响非传染性疾病研究的范围和性质在参与机构和超越印度，超越 其已经相当大的影响。受训人员目前在印度卫生部门担任重要职务。进一步 MDRF和受训人员在2000年期间开发了一个最值得称赞的科学项目和出版记录。 协作课程和活动的性质将由现有的内部咨询委员会指导。 委员会和培训咨询委员会成立。
