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.

项目总结/摘要 该计划是对日益增长的创伤和伤害负担（包括故意和 意外创伤和伤害;以下简称“T& I”），T& I的急性和慢性后果及其风险 这些因素（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。赞比亚在处理技术和基础设施方面的两个关键差距是缺乏训练有素的人力资源， 卫生、社会和经济影响方面的资源和数据有限。美国的总体目标-- 赞比亚创伤和伤害研究培训方案（美国-赞比亚TIRP）是为了加强研究 赞比亚在整个生命周期中对创伤和伤害的健康、社会和经济影响的能力 通过创新的可持续能力发展模式。我们的方法将基于密切的 两个机构之间的合作-乔治华盛顿大学米尔肯研究所公共学院 卫生部（GWSPH），美国和赞比亚大学公共卫生学院（UNZA-SPH），赞比亚-每个都有一个 致力于了解T& I的影响，研究经验和专业知识，以及 协同工作。美国-赞比亚技术投资研究方案的具体目标是：目标1：培养一批核心研究人员 专注于赞比亚的T& I。这一目标将有助于发展侧重于以下方面的研究专长： 在赞比亚的主要机构中开展培训和基础设施对健康、社会和经济的影响。目标2：促进研究 赞比亚关键的国家优先事项。我们会加强有关贸易及工业的研究， （a）记录和衡量风险因素（如酗酒、超速、 （B）评估将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）;以及（c）探讨T& I的社会和功能影响 在整个生命周期中。目标3：在赞比亚建立一个技术和工业“从研究到政策论坛”。在这一目标下，我们 我将利用我们的机构合作经验和UNZA-SPH的国家地位， 利用关于T& I对社区影响的研究证据，以影响适当的政策， 赞比亚.我们将与赞比亚卫生部合作，每年共同主办一次RTP研讨会， 关于T的对话这一平台将涉及卫生部T& I协调中心， 赞比亚，而UNZA将担任秘书处。目标4：在赞比亚建立一个正式的“技术和工业研究中心”。我们 将与UNZA合作建立一个研究中心，为个人培训提供补充， 赞比亚各地教师的家园，提高我们的努力的可持续性。该项目将在 UNZA将为国家服务，并将致力于支持T&Is的研究和培训。总之，我们 正在提出一项创新的美国-赞比亚TIRP，以越来越多的方式改变T&I研究领域， 撒哈拉以南非洲的研究密集型国家。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建立，以解决卫生研究事业中的一个重大缺口。
