DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) This project continues the University of Iowa's multi-level International Training and Research Program in Occupational and Environmental Health (ITREOH) in an expanded number of developing democracies in Central and Eastern Europe. This program will build upon previous investments in research and training capacity at collaborating institutions in Slovenia, the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia, to further develop a network of centers of excellence in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia, and Romania. The proposed program model is based on our previous experience in the region and takes advantage of new developments in information and communications technology. The primary capacity building activity will be (5-month) intermediate-term training of 25 early- and mid-career professionals at the University of Iowa. Cost-effective "short-term-equivalent" distance education training in environmental and occupational health will be provided to several hundred scientists and health professionals from throughout the region using real-time, internet-based web-conferencing technology. The core of this short-term distance training will be two 15-week Global Forums on environmental and occupational health held each year for the five year duration of the project. Centers of excellence will be developed and strengthened by the increased knowledge and skills of returning trainees, by 20-25 small collaborative research projects, by widespread participation in global forums, and by participating in and co-hosting an annual Network Institute meeting. The transition of trainees to positions of responsibility and influence will be facilitated by recognition of their expertise and leadership through organizing and conducting short courses/workshops at the annual ITREOH Network Institute, by support for participation in scientific meetings and conferences, and by publishing and presenting the results of ongoing research. Research results will be translated into public health practice through the above-mentioned short courses/workshops, the Network Institutes, and by the direct influence of the mid-career trainees in positions of responsibility within the countries of Central and Eastern Europe.

描述（由申请人提供） 该项目延续了爱荷华大学的多层次国际培训和 在中欧和东欧更多发展中民主国家开展职业与环境健康研究计划（ITREOH）。 该计划将以斯洛文尼亚、捷克共和国、波兰、匈牙利和斯洛伐克合作机构先前对研究和培训能力的投资为基础，进一步发展波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那、克罗地亚、塞尔维亚、马其顿和罗马尼亚的卓越中心网络。 拟议的计划模型基于我们以前在该地区的经验，并利用了信息和通信技术的新发展。 主要的能力建设活动将是在爱荷华大学对 25 名早期和中期职业专业人员进行（5 个月）中期培训。 将使用基于互联网的实时网络会议技术，向来自整个地区的数百名科学家和卫生专业人员提供具有成本效益的“相当于短期”的环境和职业健康远程教育培训。 该短期远程培训的核心是在该项目的五年期间每年举办两次为期 15 周的环境和职业健康全球论坛。 卓越中心将通过回国学员知识和技能的增长、20-25 个小型合作研究项目、广泛参与全球论坛以及参与和共同主办网络研究所年度会议来发展和加强。 通过在年度 ITREOH 网络研究所组织和举办短期课程/研讨会、支持参加科学会议以及出版和展示正在进行的研究结果，将促进受训者向有责任和影响力的职位过渡，以表彰他们的专业知识和领导力。 研究成果将通过上述短期课程/讲习班、网络研究所以及中欧和东欧国家负责职位的职业中期受训人员的直接影响转化为公共卫生实践。
