DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): India's NCD burden is increasing at an alarming rate, now including, eg, >50 million diabetics. This demanding burden can be lessened by research and prevention programs both create awareness and provide effective and efficient strategies for action. This proposal targets this burden with an institution and individual capacity building and training program developed under ICOHRTA by a collaboration between UAB and the Madras Diabetes Research Foundation (MDRF) in Chennai. The highly successful training model that evolved goes beyond degree training to institutional capacity building and enhancing individual research capability broadly across career stages and paths with a major focus on activities within India. It addresses NCD broadly with an International Training Seminar held in India and designed to provide awareness and skills for delegates from, and enhancing the capacity of, an array of medical colleges and health sector institutes and agencies. The seminar includes annually >100 delegates and >20 faculty, a mixture of a US team and a selection of highly respected Indian scientists and educators. Also proposed are continuing the Intensive Sessions with a focus on 10 specific research projects per year, a series of in-house workshops at 2+ institutions per year designed to build institute capacity and enhance dissertation projects and a seminar series, some during the proposed twice-monthly video conferences and some during visits to the institutions. Another proposed component is to continue the short-term training in the US, for 4/year for pre-determined highly focused training. This overall strategy has proven highly productive in producing PhDs, with 18 completed since 2002 and 24 currently underway with the added benefit that all these persons remain in India except a post-doc in the US. Important new initiatives will expand the breadth and depth of the ongoing program and include creating a Community Medicine Faculty Forum; a focus on Developing Common NCD Definitions and Data Collection Procedures; a Train the Trainers Program, designed to make existing procedures and methods plus those a result of the Forum and common methods activities above readily available via a webpage; a process for adding new collaborating institutions, at least one per year; a process for creating new courses at MDRF and continuing and expanding a Genomics Training Program. These proposed activities will continue to influence the extent and nature of NCD research at the participating institutions and beyond to India, beyond their already considerable impact. Trainees now hold important positions in the health sector in India. Further MDRF and the trainees have developed a most laudable scientific project and publication record during the collaboration. The course and the nature of the activities will be guided by the existing Internal Advisory Committee and the Training Advisory Committee to be created. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Cardiovascular disease and diabetes, eg, have become major health problems in India and other developing countries, with the prevalence of diabetes having gone from 2.1% in 1970 to more than 15% now so that there are some 30-50 million diabetics in the country. Non communicable disease relevant clinical research capacity building and training are thus a critical component of efforts to stem this tide.

描述（由申请人提供）：印度的非传染性疾病负担正以惊人的速度增加，现在包括，例如，> 5000万糖尿病患者。研究和预防方案既能提高认识，又能提供有效和高效的行动战略，可以减轻这一沉重的负担。该提案针对这一负担，由UAB和钦奈的马德拉斯糖尿病研究基金会（MDRF）合作，在ICOHRTA下开发了一个机构和个人能力建设和培训计划。发展起来的非常成功的培训模式超越了学位培训，以机构能力建设和提高个人的研究能力，广泛跨越职业阶段和道路，主要侧重于印度境内的活动。它通过在印度举行的国际培训研讨会广泛地处理非传染性疾病问题，旨在为来自一系列医学院和卫生部门研究所和机构的代表提供认识和技能，并提高其能力。该研讨会每年包括>100名代表和>20名教师，美国团队和备受尊敬的印度科学家和教育家的选择。还提议继续举办强化课程，每年重点关注10个具体研究项目，每年在2个以上机构举办一系列内部研讨会，旨在建设研究所能力并增强论文项目，以及一系列研讨会，其中一些在拟议的两次会议期间进行。每月视频会议，一些在访问机构期间进行。另一个拟议的组成部分是继续在美国进行短期培训，每年4次，进行预先确定的高度集中的培训。事实证明，这一总体战略在培养博士学位方面卓有成效，自2002年以来已完成18个，目前正在进行24个，额外的好处是，除美国的博士后外，所有这些人都留在印度。重要的新举措将扩大正在进行的方案的广度和深度，包括创建一个社区医学系论坛;重点是制定共同的非传染性疾病定义和数据收集程序;一个培训培训员方案，旨在通过网页随时提供现有的程序和方法以及论坛和上述共同方法活动的结果;增加新的合作机构的过程，至少每年一个;在MDRF创建新课程的过程，以及继续和扩大基因组学培训计划。这些拟议的活动将继续影响参与机构和印度以外非传染性疾病研究的范围和性质，超出其已经相当大的影响。受训人员目前在印度卫生部门担任重要职务。此外，MDRF和受训人员在合作期间开发了一个最值得称赞的科学项目和出版记录。课程和活动的性质将由现有的内部咨询委员会和将设立的培训咨询委员会指导。 公共卫生关系：例如，心血管疾病和糖尿病已经成为印度和其他发展中国家的主要健康问题，糖尿病的患病率从1970年的2.1%上升到现在的15%以上，因此该国约有3000万至5000万糖尿病患者。因此，与非传染性疾病相关的临床研究能力建设和培训是遏制这一趋势的努力的一个关键组成部分。
