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 慢性心脏代谢性和肾脏疾病在中低位人群中正迅速增长的公共卫生问题 收入国家(LMIC)，如埃塞俄比亚。LMIC对慢性疾病的反应受到缺乏 具备足够的研究能力，并将既定证据转化为实践和政策。虽然这是一个很棒的 已经对实施科学给予了极大的关注，但获得资助的倡议仍然很少 加强团队科学的能力，因为它与实施和研究有关，没有人审查过 慢性疾病。此外，在LMIC中，很少有中高级职业导师可以支持 个人和团队有效地为实践和政策变化而努力。我们建议解决这些问题 在埃塞俄比亚，利用实施和团队科学进行可持续的多学科研究的局限性。 来自埃默里大学、亚的斯亚贝巴大学(AAU)和巴赫达尔大学的团队共同设计了 关于埃塞俄比亚非传染性疾病控制(泰坦斯)计划实施和团队科学的培训。本节目 将提供一个独特的机会，以加强高等教育机构内部和之间的能力 埃塞俄比亚的城市环境(亚的斯亚贝巴大学)和农村环境(巴赫尔达尔大学)。在每个 在埃塞俄比亚，我们将召集一支来自护理、医学和公共卫生的研究团队 解决紧迫的非传染性疾病预防和控制实施问题的背景使用 团队科学的方法。我们将招聘24名学员(每个学科每年两名，总共24名，为期四年)。这个 博士后实习生将在埃默里校园花4个月的时间选修精选的课程，并将制定 跨学科团队科学项目将在随后的8个月内在埃塞俄比亚实施，并提供指导 来自国内和埃默里的导师。我们将利用我们其他成功的D43培训的毕业生 在埃塞俄比亚提供可持续的国内指导的方案。加强我们的合作伙伴LMIC机构 在内部，我们将提供成功的实施科学和团队科学方面的年度短期课程 可以培养组织管理技能。泰坦们将更好地确保在国内的高留存率 通过提供津贴、当地辅导、在现有平台嵌入受训人员项目以及 激发学术生产力的文化。该计划致力于促进本地驱动的研究， 塑造埃塞俄比亚的慢性病倡议和政策。
