DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Tuberculosis (TB), including the multi-drug resistant (MDR-TB) and extensively drug resistant (XDR-TB) forms continues to be a global public health problem, escalated by the current growing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic. Associated with low socio-economic status, poor accessibility to care and weakness in health care systems, the majority of world TB burden comes from low and medium income countries (LMIC) of Asia, especially rural parts of China, India, and Southeast Asia. Inadequate human resources and inefficient services have delayed the control process. The Epidemiology Unit, Prince of Songkla University (EPI-PSU), a World Health Organization (WHO) identified research mentoring institute in Thailand and collaborating institutions proposes to establish a Global Infectious Disease Training Program (GID) targeted at TB in these Asian affected regions. EPI-PSU has been assisting centers in Vietnam, Myanmar, Indonesia, China and Nepal. The long-term objective of the proposed tuberculosis research training program is to develop research capacity of the partner institutes in LMICs, judged by improved qualification of their research staff who have been trained and returned to work and international publications out of the collaborative research in a 5-year period. This D71 grant will be used to plan the training program. Specific objectives are to identify the needs for and priority and feasibility of research and research training in potential research centers in Asian LMICs regarding tuberculosis, to achieve a plan for the international training program on tuberculosis for the region, and to set up a mechanism to ensure that the activities on research and research training will be executed in a right direction, with high productivity and efficiency and relevance to the needs so identified. To achieve the objectives, EPI-PSU will begin by choosing strategic partner institutes to work with and forming a network of TB researchers and research institutes in the region. The collaborating centers in this network will meet to present and discuss institute profiles, needs and priority areas of TB research training, mechanisms to ensure that the trainees will be working well during the training and after returning to home institutes. By the end of the 12-month period, target trainee institutions will have goals and objectives in relation to training, a uniform participant selection process, a list of potential research topics, training schedule and agenda, monitoring and evaluation plans, and prepared materials by the host. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Tuberculosis (TB) is a deadly airborne infectious disease. Thailand is an exception country where TB burden is high, yet the research capacity for TB control is relatively advanced. The Epidemiology Unit, Prince of Songkla University, and the Departments of Microbiology at Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital and of Faculty of Science are centers of excellence in epidemiology and health systems research and basic science research on TB. They have formed a team to submit a proposal concerning enhancing their capacity to develop research capacity in institutions of other low and medium income countries (LMIC) in Asia. Increase in research capacity would eventually improve efficiency of the disease control programs in those countries and in turn reduce the world TB burden.

描述（由申请人提供）：结核病（TB），包括耐多药结核病（MDR-TB）和广泛耐药结核病（XDR-TB），仍然是一个全球性的公共卫生问题，并因当前不断增长的人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）流行而加剧。由于社会经济地位低、获得护理的机会差和卫生保健系统薄弱，世界上结核病负担大部分来自亚洲的中低收入国家（LMIC），特别是中国、印度和东南亚的农村地区。人力资源不足和服务效率低下导致了控制过程的延迟。宋卡王子大学 (EPI-PSU) 流行病学部门、世界卫生组织 (WHO) 确定的泰国研究指导机构和合作机构提议建立一项针对亚洲受影响地区结核病的全球传染病培训计划 (GID)。 EPI-PSU 一直在协助越南、缅甸、印度尼西亚、中国和尼泊尔的中心。拟议的结核病研究培训计划的长期目标是发展中低收入国家合作机构的研究能力，衡量标准是经过培训并重返工作岗位的研究人员的资质以及五年内合作研究的国际出版物的质量。这笔 D71 赠款将用于规划培训计划。具体目标是确定亚洲中低收入国家结核病潜在研究中心的研究和研究培训的需求、优先事项和可行性，制定该地区结核病国际培训计划的计划，并建立一个机制，确保研究和研究培训活动以正确的方向进行，具有高生产力和效率，并与所确定的需求相关。为了实现这些目标，EPI-PSU 将首先选择战略合作伙伴机构进行合作，并在该地区建立结核病研究人员和研究机构网络。该网络中的合作中心将举行会议，介绍并讨论机构概况、结核病研究培训的需求和优先领域以及确保学员在培训期间和返回母机构后良好工作的机制。到年底 在12个月的时间里，目标学员机构将有培训的目的和目标、统一的参与者选择流程、潜在研究主题清单、培训时间表和议程、监测和评估计划以及主办方准备的材料。 公共卫生相关性：结核病 (TB) 是一种致命的空气传播传染病。泰国是一个例外国家，结核病负担较高，但结核病控制研究能力相对先进。宋卡王子大学流行病学系、诗里拉吉医院医学院微生物学系和理学院是流行病学和卫生系统研究以及结核病基础科学研究的卓越中心。他们组建了一个团队，提交一份关于增强亚洲其他中低收入国家（LMIC）机构研究能力的提案。研究能力的提高最终将提高这些国家疾病控制规划的效率，进而减轻世界结核病负担。
