Infectious Diseases Training program in Bolivia: South-South Training with Peru

摘要 题为“玻利维亚传染病培训方案：与秘鲁的南南培训”的方案 是一个旨在建设玻利维亚从事传染病研究人员能力的项目。的 该计划利用了我们团队在秘鲁建立的资源、基础设施、人员和培训网络 作为培训玻利维亚个人的一种机制已经有25年了。在此，我们建议延长我们的培训计划 传染病的风险，气候变化的变化。我们的目标是准备一组研究人员 应对气候变化导致的流行病学和病媒传染病传播的变化， 变化可能会对这些疾病的生态产生巨大影响。此扩展将使用相同的六个 分层培训的步骤作为我们的母计划，但有两个额外的目标：（1）建立一个课程， 在玻利维亚三所合作大学开展气候变化与人类健康关系的培训;（2）利用培训项目， 这是玻利维亚研究人员生成数据以获得长期研究资金的跳板。培训 步骤包括： 步骤1：介绍性研讨会。延长我们的父母计划研讨会的长度，包括媒介传播的 疾病以及它们将如何受到气候变化的影响。包括额外的20+学生有兴趣在 玻利维亚讲习班的病媒研究。 第2步：关于基于病媒的实地工作和实验室方法的实践培训。培训10名学生， 在玻利维亚进行病媒收集的实地工作，并测量实地的环境条件。链路 在玻利维亚和秘鲁酌情将实地工作改为实验室工作。 步骤3：流行病学和生物统计学培训。再培训2名玻利维亚学生攻读硕士学位 UPCH的学位课程。 步骤4：参加JHSPH热带医学和公共卫生暑期研究所。支持 另外5名学生参加JHSPH热带医学和公共卫生暑期研究所。 第五步：资助一名博士后研究生从事病媒传播疾病研究。支撑件1 约翰霍普金斯大学博士后研究生，对病媒传播疾病进行高水平研究， 与气候的关系。 1

ABSTRACT The program entitled “Infectious Diseases Training program in Bolivia: South-South Training with Peru” is a project aimed at building capacity of personnel conducting infectious disease research in Bolivia. The program leverages the resources, infrastructure, personnel, and training network that our team has built in Peru for over 25 years as a mechanism to train individuals in Bolivia. Here, we propose to extend our training program to infectious disease at risk of alterations from climate change. Our goal is to prepare a group of researchers to respond to the changes in epidemiology and transmission of vector-borne infections as climate change threatens to drastically affect the ecology of these diseases. This extension will use the same six steps of tiered trainings as our parent program, but with two additional objectives: (1) set up a course on the climate change-human health nexus at the three partnering Bolivian universities; and (2) use training projects as a springboard for Bolivian researchers to generate data to procure funding for long-term studies. The training steps include the following: Step 1: Introductory workshop. Extend the length of our parent program workshop to include vector-borne diseases and how they will be impacted by climate change. Include an additional 20+ students with interest in vector research in the Bolivian workshop. Step 2: Hands-on training in vector-based fieldwork and laboratory methods. Train 10 students in conducting fieldwork for vector collection and measuring environmental conditions at field sites in Bolivia. Link the fieldwork to laboratory work, as appropriate, in Bolivia and Peru. Step 3: Training in epidemiology and biostatistics. Train an additional 2 Bolivian students in a master's degree program at UPCH. Step 4: Participation in the Summer Institute in Tropical Medicine and Public Health at JHSPH. Support an additional 5 students to attend the Summer Institute in Tropical Medicine and Public Health at JHSPH. Step 5: Fund a postdoctoral student to conduct research in vector-borne disease research. Support 1 postdoctoral student at Johns Hopkins University to conduct high-level research on vector-borne diseases and their relation to climate. 1
