DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to continue the Global Infectious Disease Research Training Program at the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) Graduate School of Public Health. The main focus of our program is research on the epidemiology, molecular epidemiology, and control of drug-resistant, vaccine preventable, and food borne bacterial diseases. The mission of our program is to provide Brazilian health professionals with the multidisciplinary tools needed to conduct cutting-edge prevention research in these important infectious diseases in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The program is directed by Dr. Lee Harrison, Professor of Epidemiology and Medicine, the principal investigator of the CDC-funded Active Bacterial Core Surveillance project of the Maryland Emerging Infections Program (EIP), and the Director of the Public Health Infectious Diseases Laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh. Our main collaborating institution is the Instituto Adolfo Lutz, a premier reference and research laboratory for Sao Paulo State. The numerous applied and public health research activities at the University of Pittsburgh and the research activities at Adolfo Lutz provide a rich multidisciplinary academic and research environment. Ongoing research in Pittsburgh includes studies of the epidemiology and molecular epidemiology of meningococcal and pneumococcal disease, integrand-mediated drug resistance in Salmonella enterica, and mechanisms of resistance in Gram negative bacterial pathogens. Trainees have access to substantial training opportunities, including our laboratories in Pittsburgh, the Maryland EIP, and a diverse array of other resources. A key focus of the program is short-term and masters-level training in epidemiology and molecular epidemiology, with the ultimate goal of providing the local infrastructure needed to study and control important emerging infectious diseases. The excellent training opportunities described in this application provide a superb research and training environment. PUBLIC HEALTHRELEVANCE: The proposed Pitt GIDRTP training will substantially enhance the ability of Brazil to conduct crucial research on the epidemiology and molecular epidemiology of drug-resistant, vaccine preventable, and food borne illnesses

描述（由申请人提供）：我们建议继续在匹兹堡大学（皮特）公共卫生研究生院的全球传染病研究培训计划。我们计划的主要重点是流行病学，分子流行病学和耐药，疫苗可预防和食源性细菌疾病的控制研究。我们项目的使命是为巴西卫生专业人员提供在巴西圣保罗进行这些重要传染病的前沿预防研究所需的多学科工具。该计划由流行病学和医学教授Lee Harrison博士指导，他是马里兰州新兴感染计划（EIP）CDC资助的主动细菌核心监测项目的首席研究员，也是匹兹堡大学公共卫生传染病实验室主任。我们的主要合作机构是Adolfo Lutz研究所，这是圣保罗州的主要参考和研究实验室。匹兹堡大学的众多应用和公共卫生研究活动以及Adolfo Lutz的研究活动提供了丰富的多学科学术和研究环境。匹兹堡正在进行的研究包括脑膜炎球菌和肺炎球菌疾病的流行病学和分子流行病学研究，肠道沙门氏菌中整合体介导的耐药性，以及革兰氏阴性细菌病原体的耐药性机制。学员可以获得大量的培训机会，包括我们在匹兹堡的实验室，马里兰州的EIP和各种其他资源。该计划的一个重点是流行病学和分子流行病学的短期和硕士水平的培训，最终目标是提供研究和控制重要的新发传染病所需的当地基础设施。本申请中描述的优秀培训机会提供了一流的研究和培训环境。公共卫生相关性：拟议的皮特GIDRTP培训将大大提高巴西对耐药性、疫苗可预防和食源性疾病的流行病学和分子流行病学进行重要研究的能力
