ABSTRACT Chronic cardiometabolic and renal disorders are rapidly growing public health problems in low- and middle- income countries (LMICs) such as Ethiopia. Responses to chronic conditions in LMICs are limited by a lack of adequate research capacity and translation of established evidence into practice and policy. Although a great deal of attention has been given to implementation science, there remains very few funded initiatives to strengthen the capacity of team science as it relates to implementation and research, and none have examined chronic conditions. In addition, there are very few mid-to-senior level career mentors in LMICs who can support individuals and teams to work effectively towards practice and policy changes. We propose to address these limitations through sustainable multidisciplinary research using implementation and team science in Ethiopia. Teams from Emory University, Addis Ababa University (AAU) and Bahir Dar University co-designed the Training on ImplemenTAtioN and team Science for NCD Control (TITANS) program in Ethiopia. This program will provide a unique opportunity to strengthen capacity within and between higher education institutions in an urban setting (Addis Ababa University) and a rural setting (Bahir Dar University) in Ethiopia. Within each institution in Ethiopia, we will bring together a team of researchers from nursing, medicine, and public health backgrounds to address pressing NCD prevention and control implementation issues across the lifespan using a team science approach. We will recruit 24 trainees (two per discipline per year, 24 total for four years). The postdoctoral trainees will spend 4-months on the Emory campus taking selected courses and will develop an interdisciplinary team science project to be implemented over the following 8-months in Ethiopia with guidance from in-country and Emory mentors. We will leverage graduates from our other successful D43 training programs in Ethiopia to provide sustainable in-country mentorship. To strengthen our partner LMIC institutions from within, we will deliver our successful annual short course on implementation science and team science that can cultivate organizational management skills. TITANS will better ensure high in-country retention of trainees by providing stipends, local mentorship, embedding trainee projects in existing platforms, and motivating a culture of scholarly productivity. This program aspires to facilitate locally driven research that will shape chronic disease initiatives and policies in Ethiopia.

摘要 慢性心脏代谢和肾脏疾病是中低收入国家迅速增长的公共卫生问题， 低收入国家（LMIC），如埃塞俄比亚。低收入国家对慢性病的反应受到缺乏 充分的研究能力和将既定证据转化为实践和政策。虽然一个伟大的 虽然对实施科学给予了大量关注，但仍然很少有资助的倡议， 加强团队科学的能力，因为它涉及到实施和研究，没有人审查 慢性病此外，中低收入国家中很少有中高级职业导师能够支持 个人和团队有效地努力实现实践和政策变革。我们建议解决这些问题 通过在埃塞俄比亚使用实施和团队科学的可持续多学科研究的局限性。 来自埃默里大学、阿迪斯大学和巴希尔达尔大学的团队共同设计了 在埃塞俄比亚开展的非传染性疾病控制科学实施和团队培训。这个程序 将提供一个独特的机会，加强高等教育机构内部和之间的能力， 城市环境（阿迪斯亚的斯亚贝巴大学）和农村环境（巴希尔达尔大学）在埃塞俄比亚。在每个 在埃塞俄比亚的一个机构，我们将汇集一个来自护理，医学和公共卫生的研究人员团队 背景，以解决整个生命周期中紧迫的非传染性疾病预防和控制实施问题， 团队科学方法。我们将招收24名学员（每个学科每年两名，总共24名，为期四年）。的 博士后学员将花4个月的时间在埃默里校园参加选定的课程，并将制定一个 跨学科团队科学项目将在埃塞俄比亚实施，为期8个月， 来自国内和埃默里大学的导师。我们将利用我们其他成功的D43培训的毕业生 埃塞俄比亚的项目，以提供可持续的国内指导。加强我们的合作伙伴LMIC机构 在内部，我们将成功举办关于实施科学和团队科学的年度短期课程 可以培养组织管理能力。TITANS将更好地确保国内高保留率， 通过提供津贴、当地指导、在现有平台中嵌入学员项目， 激发学术生产力的文化。该计划旨在促进本地驱动的研究， 制定埃塞俄比亚的慢性病倡议和政策。
