项目摘要

The Training in Tropical and Emerging Global Diseases (TTEGD) program at the University of Georgia (UGA) trains graduate students and postdoctoral scholars to become independent research scientists who study parasitic diseases in the context of global health. The research program seeks fundamental insights into protozoan and helminth parasites and their interaction with their mammalian hosts and invertebrate vectors. It combines cutting-edge bench and field science with perspectives on the global challenges and opportunities for the control and elimination of parasitic diseases. These perspectives are grounded in firsthand experience by trainers and collaborators around the world. Every year protozoan and helminth parasitic diseases of humans are responsible for more than a million deaths, many millions more cases of severe morbidity, and hundreds of millions of cases of subtle morbidity due to chronic infections. UGA is uniquely positioned as a training ground for the next generation of parasitology/tropical disease researchers and the TTEGD is the central basis of their training and development. The Center for Tropical and Emerging Global Diseases (CTEGD) within UGA is home to perhaps the largest number of parasitology research laboratories in the US that collectively cover the full gamut of parasitic diseases. We believe that the breadth and culture of our program instill trainees with the ability to translate basic scientific findings into tool development and the implementation of interventions, and foster their ability to identify and formulate a fundamental research question out of the context of parasitic disease itself. During the last funding period, the program has further grown and flourished and selected students and postdocs participate in a number of activities tailored to their preparation for their future success in science careers. Significant institutional commitment for breadth- enhancing capstone experiences, a match for trainee lines, a reorganized innovative graduate recruitment umbrella, and new diversity initiatives further strengthen this highly successful training program. For the next funding period we introduce new initiatives including new requirements for postdoc trainees, a more rigorous training of new trainers, new postdoc recruitment strategies to increase diversity, new strategies to recruit underrepresented minorities, potential expansion of the program with the use of matched trainee lines and new themes offered to trainees on large data mining and computer science.

乔治亚大学热带和新发全球疾病培训 (TTEGD) 项目 (UGA) 培养研究生和博士后学者成为独立研究科学家他们在全球健康的背景下研究寄生虫病。该研究计划寻求根本性了解原生动物和蠕虫寄生虫及其与哺乳动物宿主的相互作用无脊椎动物载体。它将尖端的实验和现场科学与全球视角相结合控制和消除寄生虫病的挑战和机遇。这些观点以世界各地培训师和合作者的第一手经验为基础。每年人类的原生动物和蠕虫寄生虫病导致超过一百万人死亡，数以百万计的严重发病病例和数亿的轻微发病病例由于慢性感染。佐治亚大学作为下一代的训练场有着独特的定位寄生虫学/热带病研究人员和 TTEGD 是他们培训和培训的核心基础发展。佐治亚大学热带和新发全球疾病中心 (CTEGD) 是也许是美国数量最多的寄生虫学研究实验室，涵盖了各种寄生虫病。我们相信我们项目的广度和文化能够向学员灌输具有将基本科学发现转化为工具开发和实施的能力干预措施，并培养他们识别和提出基本研究问题的能力寄生虫病本身的背景。在上一个资助期间，该计划进一步发展并优秀和精选的学生和博士后参加许多适合他们的活动为他们未来在科学事业上的成功做好准备。机构对广度的重大承诺增强顶点体验、实习生队伍匹配、重组创新毕业生招聘伞和新的多元化举措进一步加强了这一非常成功的培训程序。对于下一个资助期，我们推出了新举措，包括新的要求博士后培训生、对新培训师进行更严格的培训、新的博士后招聘策略增加多样性、招募代表性不足的少数群体的新战略、潜在的扩大使用匹配的受训者路线和为受训者提供的大数据挖掘新主题的计划和计算机科学。
