DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Emerging infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria, and Chagas' disease, present major public health problems in resource-limited countries and are an increasing threat/problem in wealthier countries. Effective strategies to diagnose and control these diseases are often not available because of limited research funding, and solutions to these problems often require interdisciplinary approaches between institutions that often do not interact with each other. To begin to address this need, a consortium of universities and organizations in the United States, Peru, and Argentina will establish an Inter-American Research Training Program for Innovative Approaches to Emerging Infectious Diseases. The consortium effectively integrates the four distinct disciplines of public health, science and engineering, social sciences, and medicine to provide interdisciplinary training in innovative approaches to emerging infectious diseases for eight post-doctoral level participants from consortium institutions, with at least six of these participants coming from Lati American partners. Within the program theme of emerging infectious diseases, postdoctoral trainees with backgrounds in engineering, social sciences, medicine, and public health will receive mentored training experiences and work together as a team to identify problems in the diagnosis, management, or control of infectious diseases. Combining their own diverse skill sets and under the direction of mentors from multiple disciplines, they will design and implement a joint research project to solve or mitigate the problem by developing a new device, intervention, or innovative technique. The program will establish two-week core training programs for program participants and other selected post-doctoral level trainees, carried out alternately in New Orleans and Lima, Peru, in research methodology, bioethics and responsible research, and grant-writing skills, along with training in models of interdisciplinary innovations for health such as linking bench science to prototypes, from public health programs to entrepreneurial strategies, pilot projects and scale-up, market-based approaches and marketing, and engaged research with community participants. Combining their own diverse skill sets and under the direction of a Mentoring Committee with multiple disciplines, they will design and implement a joint research project to solve or mitigate the problem by developing a new device, intervention, or innovative technique. In the final stages of the training, postdoctoral trainee teams will test their devices, interventions, or techniques, and research program products with favorable test results will be developed for marketing with the guidance of business and industry consultants. The goal of the program is to build teams of interdisciplinary researchers who can creatively and sustainably address challenges of emerging infectious diseases, such as dengue, Chagas' disease, and tuberculosis, by developing cost-effective tools that can be applied effectively in Latin America and other parts of the developing world.

描述（由申请人提供）：新发传染病，如结核病、疟疾和恰加斯病，在资源有限的国家是主要的公共卫生问题，在较富裕的国家是日益严重的威胁/问题。由于研究资金有限，往往无法获得诊断和控制这些疾病的有效战略，而这些问题的解决往往需要各机构之间采取跨学科的方法，而这些机构之间往往没有相互作用。为了开始满足这一需求，美国、秘鲁和阿根廷的大学和组织联合会将建立一个美洲研究培训方案，以创新方法应对新出现的传染病。该联盟有效地整合了公共卫生，科学与工程，社会科学和医学四个不同的学科，为来自联盟机构的八名博士后参与者提供新兴传染病创新方法的跨学科培训，其中至少有六名参与者来自拉蒂美国合作伙伴。在新兴传染病的计划主题内，具有工程，社会科学，医学和公共卫生背景的博士后学员将获得指导培训经验，并作为一个团队共同努力，以确定传染病诊断，管理或控制中的问题。他们将结合自己的各种技能，并在多个学科导师的指导下，设计和实施一个联合研究项目，通过开发新设备，干预或创新技术来解决或缓解问题。该计划将为计划参与者和其他选定的博士后级别学员建立为期两周的核心培训计划，轮流在新奥尔良和秘鲁利马进行，内容涉及研究方法、生物伦理学和负责任研究以及拨款撰写技能，沿着的是跨学科健康创新模式培训，例如将实验室科学与原型联系起来，从公共卫生计划到创业战略，试点项目和扩大规模、基于市场的方法和营销，以及与社区参与者进行的研究。他们将结合自己的各种技能，并在多学科指导委员会的指导下，设计和实施联合研究项目，通过开发新设备，干预或创新技术来解决或缓解问题。在培训的最后阶段，博士后实习团队将测试他们的设备，干预措施或技术，并在商业和行业顾问的指导下开发具有良好测试结果的研究项目产品用于营销。该计划的目标是建立跨学科研究人员团队，他们可以通过开发可有效应用于拉丁美洲和其他发展中国家的具有成本效益的工具，创造性地和可持续地应对登革热，恰加斯病和结核病等新兴传染病的挑战。
