Cardiovascular Research Training In Nigeria (CeRTIN)

项目摘要 尼日利亚面临着日益沉重的非传染性疾病负担，包括心血管疾病。 疾病(心血管疾病)，据估计占该国所有死亡人数的29%。尽管如此，当代数据 显示建议的公共卫生和临床心血管干预措施的执行率较低； 包括世界卫生组织对该国非传染性疾病的百思买。2019年尼日利亚多部门行动计划 预防和控制非传染性疾病表明了国家对预防非传染性疾病的承诺和优先事项 并在整个生命周期和初级保健环境中进行控制。然而，有数量有限的 尼日利亚调查人员、早期调查人员和具有必要技能、培训和培训的受训人员 实施和建立这一计划的经验，以改善心血管健康和以患者为中心的护理。 在这项拨款中，我们建议加强实施科学性、临床试验和以患者为中心 阿布贾大学、阿布贾大学教学医院内的成果研究能力及其 合伙人。我们的长远目标是建设一支多学科的科研队伍，培养一支高素质、 基于背景的证据基础，以改进建议的公共卫生和 临床策略，以改善人群和个人水平的心血管健康和预后。这所大学 在NIH资助的心血管健康研究项目中取得了成功的记录， 资深调查人员组成的学院。我们新颖的、多学科的心血管培训计划 实施科学、临床试验和以患者为中心的结果研究将支持短期、中期、 以及长期培训，并结合可持续发展的指导和课程设计方面的能力建设。 目标1.在阿布贾大学培养心血管研究人员设计和实施 尼日利亚的心血管实施科学、临床试验和以患者为中心的结果研究。 目标2.在阿布贾大学培养一支由教职员工领导和导师组成的团队，他们能够提供 指导和培训新的心血管研究人员，并支持心血管研究议程。 目标3.通过正式整合课程实施来推进国内心血管研究议程 将科学、临床试验和以患者为中心的结果研究培训纳入现有的学位课程。 这笔助学金将资助5名博士后研究员、2名硕士学位和2名博士生通过媒体- 和长期的训练。短期心血管研究技能培养、指导和教学 课程设计研讨会将对250名参与者进行研究方法、指导和教学方面的培训。 年度研讨会将为更广泛的心血管和非传染性疾病研究人员提供机会 传播他们的研究并形成新的合作关系。通过这个项目，我们将培养一个新的 一代独立的尼日利亚调查人员，指导他们在独立的道路上，并领导 阿布贾大学成为尼日利亚心血管研究卓越中心的道路。

PROJECT ABSTRACT Nigeria faces an increasing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), leading to an estimated 29% of all deaths in the country. In spite of this, contemporary data demonstrate low implementation of recommended public health and clinical cardiovascular interventions, including the WHO's Best Buys for NCDs in the country. The 2019 Nigerian Multisectoral Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of NCDs demonstrates the country's commitment and prioritization to NCD prevention and control across the lifespan and within primary care settings. However, there are a limited number of Nigerian investigators, early stage investigators, and trainees with the necessary skills, training, and experiences to implement and build upon this plan to improve cardiovascular health and patient-centered care. In this grant, we propose to strengthen implementation science, clinical trial, and patient-centered outcomes research capacity within the University of Abuja, University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, and their partners. Our long-term goal is to build a cadre of multidisciplinary researchers who will develop a high-quality, contextualized evidence base to improve implementation and sustainment of recommended public health and clinical strategies for better population and individual-level cardiovascular health and outcomes. The University of Abuja has a successful track record of NIH-funded cardiovascular health research programs with a growing faculty of accomplished investigators. Our novel, multidisciplinary training program in cardiovascular implementation science, clinical trials, and patient-centered outcomes research will support short-, medium-, and long-term trainings combined with capacity building in mentorship and curriculum design for sustainability. Aim 1. Build capacity and experience in University of Abuja cardiovascular researchers to design and conduct cardiovascular implementation science, clinical trials, and patient-centered outcomes research in Nigeria. Aim 2. Develop a team of faculty leaders and mentors at University of Abuja who are able to provide mentorship and training for new cardiovascular investigators and sustain the cardiovascular research agenda. Aim 3. Advance in-country cardiovascular research agenda by formally integrating courses in implementation science, clinical trials, and patient-centered outcomes research training into existing degree programs. This grant will support 5 post-doctoral fellows, 2 Master's degrees, and 2 PhD students through medium- and long-term training. Short-term cardiovascular research skill building, mentorship, and teaching and curriculum design workshops will train >250 participants in research methods, mentorship, and teaching. Annual symposia will provide opportunities for the broader community of cardiovascular and NCD researchers to disseminate their research and form new collaborations. Through this program, we will train a new generation of independent Nigerian investigators, mentoring them on the path to independence, and leading the way for University of Abuja to become a center for excellence for cardiovascular research in Nigeria.
