Project Summary/Abstract This program is a response to the growing burden of trauma and injuries (inclusive of intentional and unintentional trauma and injuries; henceforth ‘T&I’), the acute and chronic consequences of T&Is and their risk factors (alcohol, speed, urbanization) and their social and economic consequences which are all neglected public health issues in Zambia. Two critical gaps in addressing T&Is in Zambia are a lack of trained human resources and limited data on health, social and economic impacts. The overall goal of the United States- Zambia Trauma and Injury Research Training Program (US-Zambia TIRP) is to strengthen research capacity on the health, social and economic impact of trauma and injuries across the lifespan in Zambia through an innovative model of sustainable capacity development. Our approach will be based on close collaboration between two institutions–the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health (GWSPH), USA and University of Zambia School of Public Health (UNZA-SPH), Zambia – each with a great commitment to understanding the impact of T&Is, experience and expertise in research, and a history of collaborative work. The specific aims of US-Zambia TIRP are: aim 1: to develop a core group of researchers focused on T&Is in Zambia. This aim will allow for the development of research expertise focused on the health, social and economic impact of T&Is at key institutions in Zambia. Aim 2: To promote research around key national priorities for T&Is in Zambia. We will enhance the production of relevant research on T&Is in Zambia around three domains: (a) documentation and measurement of risk factors (e.g. alcohol, speeding, emergencies); (b) the evaluation of interventions that will address major trauma and mass casualties (e.g. humanitarian emergencies, natural disasters); and (c) exploration of the social and functional impact of T&Is across the lifespan. Aim 3: To develop a T&I “Research to Policy (RTP) Forum” in Zambia. Under this aim, we will use the experience of our institutional collaborations and the national standing of UNZA-SPH to promote the utilization of research evidence on the impact of T&Is on communities to influence appropriate policy in Zambia. We will co-host an RTP symposium in collaboration with the Zambian Ministry of Health for an annual dialogue on T&Is; this platform will involve the focal point for T&Is in the Ministry of Health, Government of Zambia, while UNZA will be the secretariat. Aim 4: To create a formal ‘Center for T&I research’ in Zambia. We will complement individual training by working with UNZA to establish a center for research that provides a home for faculty across Zambia and enhances sustainability of our efforts. This program will be housed within the UNZA but will serve the country and will work to support research and training on T&Is. In summary, we are proposing an innovative US-Zambia TIRP that transforms the T&I research landscape in an increasingly research-intensive country in sub-Saharan Africa. We will implement a capacity development model for Zambia by Zambians with technical assistance from the US to address a major gap in the health research enterprise.

项目概要/摘要 该计划是为了应对日益增加的创伤和伤害负担（包括故意和伤害） 意外的创伤和伤害；下文简称“T&I”），T&I 的急性和慢性后果及其风险 因素（酒精、速度、城市化）及其社会和经济后果都被忽视 赞比亚的公共卫生问题。赞比亚解决 T&I 问题的两个关键差距是缺乏训练有素的人员 有关健康、社会和经济影响的资源和有限数据。美国的总体目标—— 赞比亚创伤和伤害研究培训计划（US-Zambia TIRP）旨在加强研究 赞比亚一生中创伤和伤害对健康、社会和经济影响的能力 通过可持续能力发展的创新模式。我们的方法将基于密切 两个机构之间的合作——乔治华盛顿大学米尔肯学院公立学院 美国卫生部 (GWSPH) 和赞比亚大学公共卫生学院 (UNZA-SPH) – 各有一个 致力于了解 T&I 的影响、研究经验和专业知识以及历史 协同工作。美国-赞比亚 TIRP 的具体目标是： 目标 1：培养核心研究人员团队 专注于赞比亚的 T&I。这一目标将有助于发展专注于以下领域的研究专业知识： T&I 对赞比亚主要机构的健康、社会和经济影响。目标 2：促进相关研究 赞比亚 T&I 的国家重点优先事项。我们将加强T&I相关研究成果 赞比亚围绕三个领域：(a) 记录和测量风险因素（例如酗酒、超速、 紧急情况）； (b) 评估处理重大创伤和大规模伤亡的干预措施（例如， 人道主义紧急情况、自然灾害）； (c) 探索 T&I 的社会和功能影响 贯穿整个生命周期。目标 3：在赞比亚建立 T&I“研究到政策（RTP）论坛”。在这个目标下，我们 将利用我们机构合作的经验和 UNZA-SPH 的国家地位来促进 利用关于 T&I 对社区影响的研究证据来影响适当的政策 赞比亚。我们将与赞比亚卫生部合作举办 RTP 研讨会，每年举办一次 关于贸易与投资的对话；该平台将涉及卫生部、政府的 T&I 联络点 赞比亚，而 UNZA 将担任秘书处。目标 4：在赞比亚创建一个正式的“T&I 研究中心”。我们 将通过与 UNZA 合作建立一个研究中心来补充个人培训，该中心提供 赞比亚各地教师的家，并增强我们努力的可持续性。该计划将被安置在 UNZA 将为国家服务，并致力于支持 T&I 的研究和培训。综上所述，我们 正在提出一项创新的美国-赞比亚 TIRP，该项目将日益改变 T&I 研究格局 撒哈拉以南非洲研究密集型国家。我们将为赞比亚实施能力发展模式 由赞比亚人在美国的技术援助下进行，以解决健康研究事业的重大差距。
