PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The primary goal of this proposal is to plan for the development of and launch a sustainable Regional Center of Research Excellence (RCRE) for non-communicable diseases and injuries (NCDIs) in Rwanda. To accomplish this goal, we will establish a bi-lateral, multi-institutional, US-Rwanda collaboration to 1) conduct a rigorous landscape analysis of local infrastructure and human capacities and 2) initiate activities to address gaps in capacity for conducting NCDI research and establishing a RCRE in Rwanda. The initial focus will be on two core areas, cancer and injury, and we will conduct training and education to perform high-quality research in these core areas, and developing the electronic data infrastructure and administration needed to establish/improve disease registration for research purposes. This application leverages long- standing, pre-existing partnerships between Albert Einstein College of Medicine (AECOM), University of Rwanda (UR), Rwanda Military Hospital (RMH), Harvard University Medical School (HMS), Partners in Health (PIH), Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), King Faisal Hospital, and the Rwanda Biomedical Center (RBC) of the Rwanda Ministry of Health (MOH). The plans for and the subsequent establishment of a RCRE in NCDI will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of research supported by each of these individual institutions by uniting efforts and fostering collaboration within the RCRE and other Rwandan stakeholders. The proposed name of the center is “GUKORANYA” (Global University Consortium for Research in Non- communicable diseases and InjurY) Research Center (GRC). In Kinyarwanda, the national language of Rwanda, the word `gukoranya' means `to gather together'. After building the necessary research capacities and infrastructure, this center will assess the burden of cancer and injury in Rwanda and develop feasible and effective research strategies to inform the public policy and clinical practices for the prevention and treatment of these conditions.

项目概要/摘要 该提案的主要目标是规划开发并启动可持续的 非传染性疾病和伤害区域卓越研究中心 (RCRE) （NCDI）在卢旺达。为实现这一目标，我们将建立一个双边、多机构、 美国与卢旺达合作 1) 对当地基础设施进行严格的景观分析 人员能力，2) 发起活动以解决开展 NCDI 的能力差距 在卢旺达研究并建立一个 RCRE。最初的重点将放在两个核心领域， 癌症和伤害，我们将进行培训和教育，以在以下领域开展高质量的研究 这些核心领域，以及开发所需的电子数据基础设施和管理 出于研究目的建立/改进疾病登记。该应用程序利用长 阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦医学院 (AECOM) 之间现有的长期合作伙伴关系， 卢旺达大学 (UR)、卢旺达军事医院 (RMH)、哈佛大学医学院 (HMS)、健康合作伙伴 (PIH)、弗吉尼亚联邦大学 (VCU)、费萨尔国王 医院和卢旺达卫生部 (MOH) 的卢旺达生物医学中心 (RBC)。 NCDI 的 RCRE 计划和后续建立将提高效率 每个机构通过共同努力支持的研究的有效性 促进 RCRE 和其他卢旺达利益攸关方之间的合作。拟议的 该中心的名称是“GUKORANYA”（全球大学非研究联盟） 传染病和伤害）研究中心（GRC）。在基尼亚卢旺达语中，国家 在卢旺达语中，“gukoranya”一词的意思是“聚集在一起”。构建后 必要的研究能力和基础设施，该中心将评估癌症的负担 卢旺达的伤害和伤害，并制定可行且有效的研究策略以告知公众 预防和治疗这些疾病的政策和临床实践。
