PROJECT SUMMARY Myanmar has committed to malaria elimination by 2030. The malaria burden is falling in Myanmar, but reaching elimination will require strong and sustainable malaria research capacity within the government institutions leading the elimination effort, and close partnership between scientists and program professionals to translate research results into practice quickly and effectively. We propose to provide high-quality interdisciplinary malaria research training for public sector scientists and health professionals who are committed to malaria elimination in Myanmar. This Global Infectious Disease Research Training Program (GIDRTP) will build on a strong foundation provided by an active portfolio of interdisciplinary malaria research that includes field and laboratory- based projects funded by the U.S. President's Malaria Initiative, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and an NIAID International Center of Excellence for Malaria Research, among others. These projects are all led by the multiple principal investigators of this proposal, in close partnership with in-country partners, all within the Ministry of Health and Sports: the Department of Medical Research (DMR), the National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) and the University of Public Health (UPH). The aim of the training program is to strengthen the capacity to conduct independent, sustainable malaria research in both the research and program arms of the Ministry of Health and Sports, with interdisciplinary training in a range of topics relevant to malaria elimination, including global health, health systems and health policy, implementation science, epidemiology and biostatistics, molecular and genomic epidemiology, sero-epidemiology, and/or surveillance and geospatial modeling and mapping. This will be accomplished through a mix of short-term, project-based and degree training. Long-term degree training will take place in Yangon, Myanmar at the University of Public Health (8 MPH and 2 PhD trainees), at Duke Kunshan University in Kunshan, China (2 MSc in Global Health), and at the Duke Global Health Institute (DGHI) in Durham, NC (4 MSc and 1 PhD in Global Health). Non-degree lab-based short-term training will take place in the Parasitology Division and the Advanced Molecular Research Center at DMR in Yangon, in the malaria laboratory of the National Institute of Parasitic Diseases, Shanghai, China, and in a new malaria center and the Center for Genomics and Computational Biology at Duke University in Durham. Non- degree field-based research training will be conducted in our field research study sites in Myanmar where ongoing population-based studies will continue to be conducted for at least the next six years. The proposed training is expected to result in strengthened malaria research capacity that will be resilient to social and political disruptions and increase the prospects for meeting malaria elimination milestones in Myanmar. Additional outcomes of the training program will be closer collaborative relationships between DMR, NMCP and UPH, and between public health scientists in Myanmar, China and the U.S.

项目概要 缅甸承诺到 2030 年消除疟疾。缅甸的疟疾负担正在下降，但已达到 消除疟疾需要政府机构内强大和可持续的疟疾研究能力 领导消除工作，并在科学家和项目专业人员之间建立密切合作伙伴关系，以转化 研究成果快速有效地转化为实践。我们建议提供高质量的跨学科疟疾 为致力于消除疟疾的公共部门科学家和卫生专业人员提供研究培训 在缅甸。全球传染病研究培训计划 (GIDRTP) 将建立在强大的基础上 由积极的跨学科疟疾研究组合提供的基础，其中包括现场和实验室- 该项目由美国总统疟疾倡议、比尔及梅琳达·盖茨基金会和 NIAID 国际疟疾研究卓越中心等。这些项目均由 该提案的多名主要研究人员与国内合作伙伴密切合作，全部在该部内 健康与体育部：医学研究部 (DMR)、国家疟疾控制计划 (NMCP) 和公共卫生大学（UPH）。培训计划的目的是加强能力 在卫生部的研究和项目部门开展独立、可持续的疟疾研究 健康和体育，提供与消除疟疾相关的一系列主题的跨学科培训，包括 全球卫生、卫生系统和卫生政策、实施科学、流行病学和生物统计学、 分子和基因组流行病学、血清流行病学和/或监测和地理空间建​​模和 映射。这将通过短期、基于项目和学位的培训相结合来实现。长期 学位培训将在缅甸仰光公共卫生大学进行（8 MPH 和 2 Ph.D.） 实习生），中国昆山杜克大学（2 个全球健康理学硕士）和杜克大学全球 北卡罗来纳州达勒姆健康研究所 (DGHI)（全球健康领域 4 名硕士和 1 名博士）。非学位实验室短期 培训将在 DMR 的寄生虫学部门和高级分子研究中心进行 仰光，中国上海国家寄生虫病研究所的疟疾实验室，以及一个新的 达勒姆杜克大学疟疾中心和基因组学和计算生物学中心。非- 学位实地研究培训将在我们位于缅甸的实地研究地点进行 至少在未来六年内将继续进行基于人群的研究。拟议的 培训预计将加强疟疾研究能力，使其能够适应社会和政治的影响 扰并增加缅甸实现消除疟疾里程碑的前景。额外的 培训计划的成果将是 DMR、NMCP 和 UPH 之间的合作关系更加密切，并且 缅甸、中国和美国的公共卫生科学家之间的合作
