Iowa Non-communicable Chronic Diseases Research Training Program in Romania

这份重新提交的申请建议对罗马尼亚研究人员进行预防和管理的培训。 非传染性慢性病(癌症、脑血管疾病、肺部疾病、肥胖、 环境和生活方式因素)。罗马尼亚是一个比较大的国家，有2200万人口。 中东欧是世卫组织六个区域中“受非传染性慢性病影响最严重的地区”。 尽管罗马尼亚在慢性病管理方面拥有重要的临床专业知识， 在以人口为基础的研究、预防策略和 公共卫生干预。在五年的时间里，这项计划将吸引职业生涯早期和中期的科学家 和卫生专业人员参加中期培训(25人)、短期培训(15人)、长期培训(3-4人)、 并在“短期等值”远程教育活动的创新计划中，将使广泛的 使用因特网网络会议。此外，中长期受训人员将进行一系列 在罗马尼亚联合举办讲习班。该计划的主要合作机构将是 罗马尼亚Cluj-Napoca的Babes-Bolyai大学的卫生政策和公共卫生，尽管有一些 罗马尼亚的其他相关机构也将参与进来。各方面的专业知识和指导 非传染性慢性疾病将由爱荷华州大学一名高素质的干部提供 来自罗马尼亚多个系和学院以及若干机构的教职员工。 该计划的教员反映了从遗传学到流行病学再到临床的广泛研究领域。 从研究到实施科学。这个项目的设计是基于进行 以前和目前在该区域的研究培训方案，以及在一个完善的 合作者。项目人员拥有社会、经济、政治和文化的第一手知识 影响罗马尼亚和该地区健康的因素他们开发并完善了一个已建立的模型 用于培训未来的科学家和公共卫生专业人员，以增加对以下问题的了解， 并因此减少非传染性慢性病的发生和影响。 相关性(请参阅说明)： 最新数据表明，非传染性慢性病约占所有死亡人数的90%。 在罗马尼亚。尽管在所有国家中，非传染性慢性病的发病率都很高 罗马尼亚的中东欧地区提供了一个独特的机会，可以对 这些疾病并对该区域的邻国产生“溢出”效应。

This re-submitted application proposes to train Romanian researchers in the prevention and management of non-communicable chronic diseases (cancer, cerebrovascular diseases, lung disease, obesity, envirnomental and lifestyle factors). Romania is a relatively large country with a population of 22 million in Central/Eastern Europe, "the worst afflicted by non-communicable chronic diseases" ofthe six WHO regions. Although significant clinical expertise exists in Romania regarding the management of chronic diseases, research expertise is almost totally lacking in regard to population-based studies, prevention strategies, and public health interventions. Over a five-year period, this program will engage early and mid-career scientists and health professionals in intermediate-term training (25), short-term training (15), long-term training (3-4), and in an innovative program of "short-term-equivalent" distance education activities that will make extensive use of Internet web-conferencing. Additionally, intermediate and long-term trainees will conduct a series of joint workshops in Romania. The primary collaborating institution for this program will be the Center for Health Policy and Public Health at Babes-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, although a number of other affliated institutions in Romania will also be involved. Expertise and mentoring in the various aspects of non-communicable chronic diseases will be provided by a cadre of highly qualified University of lowa faculty members from a number of departments and colleges as well as from several institutions in Romania. The program faculty reflects a broad range of research areas from genetics to epidemiology to clinical research to implementation science. The design of this program is based on experiences conducting previous and current research training programs in the region and on a network of well-established collaborators. Program personnel have first-hand knowledge ofthe social, economic, political, and cultural factors impacting health in Romania and the region They have developed and refined an established model for training future scientists and public health professionals that will be applied to increase understanding of, and, therefore, reduce the occurence and impact of non-communicable chronic diseases. RELEVANCE (See instmctions): The most recent data indicates that non-communicable chronic diseases account for about 90% of all deaths in Romania. Although there are high rates of non-communicable chronic diseases in countries throughout the Central and Eastern European region, Romania provides a unique opportunity to have a large impact on these diseases and to have a "spillover" effect on neighboring countries in the region.
