DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Injuries are a growing public health problem worldwide as thousands of people are killed, injured, and disabled every day. As one of the leading causes of death and disability in the world, human trauma and injury disproportionately affect individuals in developing countries. The impact of trauma and injury in low- and middle-income countries is devastating, thus requiring increased efforts to train health care professionals and research faculty on this topic in these countries. During the previous Fogarty International Center TRAUMA grant based upon the collaboration between the University of Maryland School of Medicine and Ain Shams University in Cairo, Egypt, we trained approximately 450 trainees from Egypt, Iraq, Sudan, Palestine and Afghanistan in one or more of the training programs initiated through the grant. Eleven out of the thirteen trainees who matriculated into the intensive injury research summer training program and mentored research project have accepted faculty positions at academic institutions in Egypt. One of the remaining trainees is now the Director of the Emergency Department in a Health Insurance Hospital while the other is a key injury epidemiologist in the Ministry of Health. As a continuation of our previous successful work over the past six years in injury prevention research training in the Arab Republic of Egypt, we will accomplish three main objectives, which are 1) To continue to train our growing cadre of traumatologists and emergency physicians in the use of currently available methodologies in trauma resuscitation, injury research, and the collection of data about injuries, 2) In conjunction with our developing World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Center, to further the development of our program to expand research and training opportunities for injury-related research in Egypt and the Arab Middle East, 3) To expand our select group of health professionals trained in our intensive summer injury research training courses, followed by in-country mentored research activities, to cement and expand our core group of injury researchers in Egypt and the Arab Middle East and work with them to develop sustainable injury research programs. These objectives will be accomplished through a coordinated and organized program built upon the existing successful collaboration between the University of Maryland and Ain Shams University with guidance from experts in the United States and in Egypt. Our goals in this funding period are 1) to meet all ongoing requirements of WHO for finalizing our WHO Collaborating Centre for Research and Training on Injury Prevention and Management at Ain Shams University, 2) to expand our training programs to Alexandria University in Egypt and Garyounis University in Libya in order to raise awareness and efforts related to injury research and injury prevention, and 3) to conduct at least two short- term injury related training courses per year, and 4) to enroll five trainees per year in the intensive injury research summer/mentored research project long-term training.

描述（由申请人提供）：伤害是全球日益严重的公共卫生问题，每天都有成千上万的人死亡、受伤和致残。作为世界上造成死亡和残疾的主要原因之一，人类创伤和伤害对发展中国家的个人影响尤为严重。创伤和伤害对低收入和中等收入国家的影响是毁灭性的，因此需要加大努力，在这些国家就这一主题培训保健专业人员和研究人员。在马里兰大学医学院和埃及开罗艾因沙姆斯大学（Ain Shams University）合作的福格蒂国际创伤中心（Fogarty International Center TRAUMA）前一笔赠款期间，我们在通过赠款发起的一个或多个培训项目中培训了大约450名来自埃及、伊拉克、苏丹、巴勒斯坦和阿富汗的学员。13名受训者中有11人进入了强化损伤研究夏季培训项目和指导研究项目，并接受了埃及学术机构的教职。其中一名学员现在是一家健康保险医院急诊科主任，另一名学员是卫生部重要的伤害流行病学家。作为我们过去六年来在阿拉伯埃及共和国成功开展的伤害预防研究培训工作的延续，我们将实现三个主要目标：1)继续培训我们不断壮大的创伤学家和急诊医生骨干，使他们能够使用目前可用的方法进行创伤复苏、伤害研究和收集有关伤害的数据；2)与我们发展中的世界卫生组织（世卫组织）合作中心合作，进一步发展我们的计划，扩大埃及和阿拉伯中东地区与伤害有关的研究和培训机会；3)扩大我们选定的卫生专业人员群体，接受我们夏季损伤研究强化培训课程的培训，随后进行国内指导的研究活动；巩固和扩大我们在埃及和阿拉伯中东地区的核心伤病研究小组，并与他们合作开发可持续的伤病研究项目。这些目标将在马里兰大学和艾因沙姆斯大学现有的成功合作基础上，在美国和埃及专家的指导下，通过一个协调和有组织的项目来实现。我们在这一资助期内的目标是：1)满足世卫组织在完成我们在艾因沙姆斯大学的世卫组织伤害预防和管理研究和培训合作中心方面的所有持续要求；2)将我们的培训规划扩大到埃及亚历山大大学和利比亚加尤尼斯大学，以提高对伤害研究和伤害预防的认识和努力；3)每年至少举办两次与伤害相关的短期培训课程。4)每年招收5名学员参加强化损伤研究暑期/指导研究项目的长期训练。
