iCREATE: Increasing Capacity in Research in Eastern Europe

项目摘要/摘要 全球伤害负担不成比例地集中在低收入和中等收入国家。 (LMIC)。这个项目将命名为iCreate(东欧研究中的伤害能力)， 向亚美尼亚、格鲁吉亚和摩尔多瓦等LMIC国家介绍伤害和暴力培训， 由于它们与中东的政治和经济联系，它们是全球战略优先事项， 俄罗斯和欧洲。这些国家的医疗和公共卫生教育能力 这方面的问题一直在增加，但伤害和暴力问题目前没有得到解决。我们的爱荷华大学培训 该计划建立在伤害和暴力研究能力建设的成功十年的基础上 在罗马尼亚，我们的合作伙伴关系帮助建立了Cluj公共卫生学校及其 独立资助的伤害研究单位。培训将在伙伴关系中进行， 展示了罗马尼亚从实习生到培训者的成功过渡。我们的目标是 培训计划是：培训来自亚美尼亚、格鲁吉亚和 摩尔多瓦开展创新研究；促进受训人员向#年的职位过渡 领导力；将我们的伙伴机构发展为可持续的伤害卓越中心 研究和教育；并促使合作伙伴将研究转化为有效的预防 和治疗方案。根据我们伙伴国的需求和 在项目领导方面，我们将重点关注三个领域：道路交通安全；对妇女的暴力行为； 儿童；以及急诊护理。 我们的培训计划将优先考虑长期的公共卫生硕士和博士培训，以建立研究和 领导技能侧重于预防伤害和暴力。通过欧盟 坦帕斯助学金，我们的合作机构有公共卫生硕士计划，允许学分转移。在 在这个结构中，我们将整合两门伤害和暴力课程；一门全球伤害和暴力课程 暑期研讨会；以及一个有指导的研究项目。受伤和暴力训练将发生在 爱荷华大学和克鲁日公共卫生学院。博士培训将在强国进行 爱荷华大学的研究环境，其中包括疾控中心资助的伤害预防 研究中心。我们计划开展这些活动，以建立可持续的研究和教育 这将有助于减少创伤性伤害和暴力的负担。

Project Summary/Abstract The global injury burden is disproportionately concentrated in low and middle income countries (LMIC).This project, to be named ICREATE (Injury Capacity in Research in EAsTern Europe), introduces injury and violence training to the LMIC countries of Armenia, Georgia, and Moldova, which are strategic global priorities due to their political and economic ties to the Middle East, Russia, and Europe. Capacity for medical and public health education in these countries has been growing, but injury and violence is not currently addressed. Our University of Iowa training program builds on a successful decade of capacity building for injury and violence research in Romania, where our partnership helped establish the Cluj School of Public Health and its independently-funded injury research unit. Training will be conducted in partnership, demonstrating a successful transition in Romania from trainees to trainers. The aims of our training program are to: train a critical mass of researchers from Armenia, Georgia, and Moldova to conduct innovative research; facilitate the transition of trainees to positions of leadership; develop our partner institutions as sustainable centers of excellence in injury research and education; and, engage partners to translate research into effective prevention and treatment programs. Based on the needs of our partner countries and expertise of the project leadership, we will focus on three areas: road traffic safety; violence against women and children; and, acute care. Our training program will prioritize long-term MPH and PhD training to build research and leadership skills focused on injury and violence prevention. Through a European Union TEMPUS grant, our partner institutions have MPH programs that allow transfer of credit. Within this structure, we will integrate two injury and violence courses; a Global Injury and Violence Summer Symposium; and a mentored research project. Injury and violence training will occur at the University of Iowa and Cluj School of Public Health. PhD training will occur in the strong research environment of the University of Iowa, which includes a CDC-funded Injury Prevention Research Center. We plan for these activities to build sustainable research and education capacity that will lead to reductions in the burden of traumatic injuries and violence.
