项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks funding for an International Scientific Research Development Award (IRSDA), with the focus on economics, demography, and the social and biological aspects of human development at the University of California at Berkeley and the Mexican National Institute of Public Health (INSP) in Cuernavaca, Mexico. The candidate, Lia C. Fernald, is currently a Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Institute for Business and Economic Research at UC Berkeley, and previously received a Ph.D. in Clinical Medicine and an M.B.A. with a focus on Health Care Management. The IRSDA will allow the candidate to have a period of mentored research that will prepare her to pursue a successful independent research career in international public health. The candidate' s long-term goal is to use high quality evaluation and research as a tool to develop effective and sustainable programs that promote positive social change in developing countries. She aims to develop a base of skills and knowledge that are critical to conducting research and interventions in large scale, community-based, poverty- alleviation programs. Her goals are I) to gain expertise in the theory and methodology of economics and demography; 2) to gain expertise in advanced quantitative methods for analyzing multi-level, complex, longitudinal public health and economic data; 3) to develop an understanding of health psychology and human development in relation to socioeconomic status (SES); and 4) to apply this knowledge of demographic and econometric models, and human development to the development of socio-economic metrics and analysis of health outcomes. She plans to achieve these goals through a combination of direct coursework, one-on-one tutorials, and a mentored research project. Based primarily on animal work, some researchers suspect that activity of stress-sensitive physiological systems may mediate associations between SES and both health and behavioral outcomes. Although investigators are beginning to examine concurrent relations between physiological stress responsivity and SES, no studies with humans have been able to directly address the issue of causality directly. Dr. Fernald will ask the critical question whether an improvement in socio-economic status can effect change in basal and regulatory aspects of stress physiology. She will take advantage of a large, randomized, controlled-trial of poverty reduction in Mexico (the PROGRESA program) to investigate the impact of a poverty-alleviation program on activity of physiological stress in children. She will also use the experimental model to begin to identify factors mediating the impact of PROGRESA on stress reactivity.

描述（由申请人提供）：该申请寻求获得国际科学研究发展奖（IRSDA）的资金，重点是加州大学伯克利分校和墨西哥Cuernavaca的加利福尼亚大学伯克利分校的经济学，人口统计学以及人类发展的社会和生物学方面。候选人Lia C. Fernald目前是加州大学伯克利分校商业和经济研究所的博士后研究员，此前曾获得博士学位。临床医学和硕士学位，重点是医疗保健管理。 IRSDA将允许候选人进行一段指导的研究，这将使她为从事国际公共卫生的成功独立研究职业做好准备。候选人的长期目标是使用高质量评估和研究作为开发有效和可持续计划的工具，以促进发展中国家积极的社会变革。她的目标是建立技能和知识基础，这对于大规模，基于社区的贫困计划进行研究和干预至关重要。她的目标是我）在经济学和人口统计学理论和方法方面获得专业知识； 2）获得高级定量方法的专业知识，以分析多层，复杂，纵向公共卫生和经济数据； 3）与社会经济地位（SES）有关健康心理学和人类发展的理解； 4）将人口统计学和计量经济学模型的知识以及人类发展应用于社会经济指标的发展以及对健康结果的分析。她计划通过直接课程，一对一教程和指导的研究项目的结合来实现这些目标。一些研究人员主要基于动物的工作，怀疑对压力敏感的生理系统的活动可能介导SES与健康和行为结果之间的关联。尽管研究人员开始研究生理压力反应性与SES之间的并发关系，但没有与人类的研究能够直接直接解决因果关系问题。弗纳德博士将问一个关键问题，社会经济地位的改善是否会影响压力生理的基础和监管方面的变化。她将利用墨西哥（预科计划）的大型，随机的，受控的贫困减少判据，以研究贫困 - 利用计划对儿童生理压力活动的影响。她还将使用实验模型开始识别介导术语对应激反应性影响的因素。
