Project Summary Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are now the leading cause of death and disability in most low- and middle- income countries (LMICs). Since capacity building in LMICs has primarily focused on communicable diseases, a wider base of research professionals trained in NCDs must be developed. Unfortunately, LMICs in South America have had limited opportunities to secure training activities for young researchers in NCDs. To fill this gap by leveraging existing training initiatives, we propose to develop a plan to train a new cadre of NCD researchers to build sustainable research capacity in Peru, which in the future can serve as a platform to enhance opportunities for the Andean region and other South American countries. This planning grant is developed on the premise of augmenting the reach of the established research and training expertise of the participating institutions. We plan to strengthen and build on previous collaborations among CRONICAS-UPCH (Peru), IECS (Argentina), and HSPH (USA). This triangulation of institutions places the applicant team in a strong position to develop a comprehensive training program for a future announcement (e.g., D43). This proposal will leverage the fruitful, long-lasting collaboration between IECS and HSPH to improve capacity-building in Peru. At this planning phase, our partnership focuses on strengthening the collaborative group and developing new ideas and training methods. We propose at least four online meetings and one in-person 3-day planning workshop. Before these meetings are held, a situational analysis will be conducted to collect information on available resources for NCD research training in Peru and other countries in the region and to conduct interviews with local graduates to understand what skills they consider need to be strengthened. The long-term goal is to expand the availability of training opportunities in the field of NCDs to provide Peruvian and other South American students with the opportunity to study at the graduate level (MSc or PhD) at UPCH, with complementary courses at IECS or HSPH. This planning grant will allow us time to estimate the associated training costs, available options, and anticipate potential obstacles. We will look for available programs at UPCH, IECS, and HSPH in epidemiology, biostatistics, bioinformatics, health economics, public health, and health systems that focus on NCDs. We will list and cross- tabulate the available courses to see which addresses similar topics. Then, we will propose a formal training program including a MSc or PhD program at UPCH, along with non-degree courses at IECS or HSPH. The future training program would encompass three modes of training: in-person, online, and a mix of both. This planning grant will be successful if the following outputs are delivered: i) structure of the training program; ii) criteria for selection of trainees; iii) criteria to assess the development and progress of trainees; iv) criteria to evaluate the training program; and v) outline of the future training grant proposal containing at least the specific aims.

项目摘要 非传染性疾病现在是大多数中低收入国家死亡和残疾的主要原因， 低收入国家（LMIC）。由于中低收入国家的能力建设主要侧重于传染病， 必须发展更广泛的非传染性疾病专业研究人员基础。不幸的是，南部的中低收入国家 美国为非传染性疾病的年轻研究人员提供培训活动的机会有限。填补这一 通过利用现有的培训举措，我们建议制定一项计划，培训新的非传染性疾病骨干队伍， 研究人员在秘鲁建立可持续的研究能力，这在未来可以作为一个平台， 安第斯地区和其他南美国家的机会。该规划补助金是根据 扩大参与者既有的研究和培训专门知识的范围的前提 机构职能体系我们计划加强和发展国家海洋学研究中心-海地和平大学（秘鲁）、国际海洋学委员会 （阿根廷）和HSPH（美国）。这种机构的三角关系使申请人团队处于有利地位 为将来的公告开发全面的培训计划（例如，D43）。该提案将利用 国际环境合作研究所与保护儿童和青少年健康协会之间为改善秘鲁的能力建设而开展的富有成果的长期合作。在这个 在规划阶段，我们的伙伴关系侧重于加强协作组和开发新的想法， 培训方法。我们建议至少四次在线会议和一次面对面的为期3天的规划研讨会。之前 举行这些会议后，将进行情况分析，以收集关于现有资源的信息， 在秘鲁和该区域其他国家进行非传染性疾病研究培训，并与当地毕业生进行面谈 了解他们认为哪些技能需要加强。长期目标是扩大可用性 鼓励提供非传染性疾病领域的培训机会，为秘鲁和其他南美学生提供 有机会在UPCH研究生阶段（硕士或博士）学习，并在IECS或HSPH补充课程。 这项规划补助金将使我们有时间估计相关的培训成本，可用的选项，并预测 潜在的障碍。我们将在UPCH，IECS和HSPH寻找流行病学，生物统计学， 生物信息学、卫生经济学、公共卫生和以非传染性疾病为重点的卫生系统。我们会列出并交叉- 把现有的课程列表，看看哪些课程涉及类似的主题。然后，我们将提出一个正式的培训 课程包括UPCH的硕士或博士课程，沿着IECS或HSPH的非学位课程。未来 培训计划将包括三种培训模式：面对面培训、在线培训以及两者结合。这一规划 如果提供了以下产出，赠款将获得成功：一）培训方案的结构;二） 培训人员的甄选; iii）评估培训人员的发展和进步的标准; iv）评估 培训计划;以及v）未来培训补助金建议的大纲，至少包括具体目标。
