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

摘要 该计划题为“玻利维亚传染病培训计划：与秘鲁的南南培训” 是一个旨在建设玻利维亚传染病研究人员能力的项目。的 计划利用我们团队在秘鲁建立的资源、基础设施、人员和培训网络 作为玻利维亚个人培训机制已存在超过 25 年。在此，我们建议延长我们的培训计划 面临因气候变化而改变风险的传染病。我们的目标是培养一批研究人员 应对气候变化引起的流行病学和媒介传播感染的传播变化 变化可能会严重影响这些疾病的生态。此扩展将使用相同的六个 分层培训的步骤作为我们的家长计划，但还有两个额外目标：（1）开设一门关于 玻利维亚三所合作大学的气候变化与人类健康关系； (2) 使用培训项目作为 玻利维亚研究人员生成数据以获取长期研究资金的跳板。培训内容 步骤包括以下内容： 第 1 步：介绍性研讨会。延长我们的家长计划研讨会的时间，以包括媒介传播的 疾病以及它们将如何受到气候变化的影响。另外还有 20 名感兴趣的学生 玻利维亚研讨会的媒介研究。 第 2 步：基于矢量的现场工作和实验室方法的实践培训。培养10名学生 在玻利维亚的实地地点进行病媒收集和环境条件测量的实地工作。链接 在玻利维亚和秘鲁，酌情将实地考察转为实验室工作。 第三步：流行病学和生物统计学培训。培训另外 2 名玻利维亚学生攻读硕士学位 UPCH 的学位课程。 第 4 步：参加 JHSPH 热带医学和公共卫生夏季研究所。支持 另外 5 名学生将参加 JHSPH 的热带医学和公共卫生暑期学院。 第5步：资助一名博士后学生进行媒介传播疾病研究。支持1 约翰霍普金斯大学博士后学生对媒介传播疾病进行高水平研究 它们与气候的关系。 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
