项目摘要 这是D43慢性非传染性疾病和终身疾病的应用程序： 福格蒂国际研究培训奖。布鲁斯·基仁加博士、摩西·卡米亚博士和威廉·查克利博士 在非传染性疾病（NCD）相关领域拥有超过50年指导研究人员的综合经验 在低收入和中等收入国家（LMIC）的研究，并将担任多个首席研究员，在这 培训计划。拟议的赠款旨在开发一个联合培训计划之间的马凯雷雷学院， 卫生科学（MakCHS）和约翰霍普金斯大学（JHU）1）在乌干达 研究人员开展与非传染性疾病有关的基础、临床、流行病学和实施科学，以及2） 支持MakCHS教师发起，通过指导奖学金领导管理NCD研究项目 训练培训计划将包括博士，硕士和非学位奖学金以及短期 生物伦理学、非传染性疾病流行病学、定量和定性研究方法、良好实验室等课程 实践，实施科学，赠款和手稿写作。 拟议的培训计划将建立在MakCHS和JHU之间建立的培训伙伴关系的基础上 并将利用现有的福格蒂训练D43。拟议的非传染性疾病重点领域将包括： 高血压（HTN），2）心血管疾病（CVD），3）慢性肾病（CKD），和4）慢性 呼吸系统疾病（CRD）。主要研究人员组建了一个国际专家小组， 担任培训咨询小组成员，并担任JHU的专家，担任乌干达受训人员的共同导师 包括：Robert Wise博士（CRD）、Lawrence阿佩尔博士（CVD、HTN）、Nisa Marathur博士（CVD、DM）、 Kunihiro Matushita（CKD）和Chirag Parikh博士（CKD）。

PROJECT SUMMARY This is an application for the D43 Chronic, Non-Communicable Diseases and Disorders Across the Lifespan: Fogarty International Research Training Award. Drs. Bruce Kirenga, Moses Kamya and William Checkley have over 50 years combined experience mentoring investigators in non-communicable disease (NCD)-related research in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and will serve as Multiple Prinicipal Investigators in this training program. The proposed grant aims to develop a joint training program between Makerere College of Health Sciences (MakCHS) and Johns Hopkins University (JHU) to 1) build capacity among Ugandan investigators to conduct basic, clinical, epidemiologic and implementation science related to NCDs and 2) to support faculty at MakCHS to initiate, lead an manage NCD research projects through mentored fellowship training. The training program will consist of PhD, masters, and non-degree fellowships as well as short courses in bio-ethics, NCD epidemiology, quantitative and qualitative research methodology, good laboratory practice, implementation science, grants and manuscripts writing. The proposed training program will build on an established training partnership between MakCHS and JHU and will leverage an existing Fogarty training D43. The proposed NCD areas of focus will include: 1) hypertension (HTN), 2) cardiovascular disease (CVD), 3) chronic kidney disease (CKD), and 4) chronic respiratory diseases (CRD). The principal investigators have compiled an international panel of experts to serve on the training advisory panel as well as experts at JHU to serve as co-mentors for Ugandan trainees including: Dr. Robert Wise (CRD), Dr. Lawrence Appel (CVD, HTN), Dr. Nisa Marathur (CVD, DM), Dr. Kunihiro Matushita (CKD) and Dr. Chirag Parikh (CKD).
