TB/MDR-TB Research training and Capacity Strengthening for LMIC in Southeast Asia Phase II: Promotion of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)

项目摘要/摘要 结核病在东南亚仍然是一种压倒性的传染病，特别是在偏远地区 由于社会经济条件的限制，在各地区和少数族裔群体中也存在这一问题。根据《行政管理》 Fogarty国际中心(FIC)促进多样性、公平和包容性培训补助金的补充 (DEI)多样性(非TW-23-006)“，有必要为代表不足的群体提供机会 投身研究事业。来自这一弱势群体的研究人员很少，因为在 低收入和中等收入国家的高等教育机会。目前的建议是 准备好为这个目的服务。 我们的母公司项目“东南亚低MIC结核病/耐多药结核病研究培训和能力加强” D43TW009522总部设在泰国南部，包括印度尼西亚苏门答腊岛的省份。 这两个地区都有少数民族，接受科研教育的机会很少。鉴于我们的 培训计划在培训新的结核病科学家为该地区服务方面取得了成功的记录，我们的计划是 有能力通过向这些代表不足的群体提供 关于结核病研究的培训。 在这两个国家，我们有两个目标群体。 第一组是一小群穆斯林妇女，她们是理工学院和 巴黎州立大学北大尼校区技术部。他们拥有博士学位，教统计学，但几乎没有什么 接触现代结核病科学，特别是生物信息学和其他生物医学数据 科学。这批学员的具体培训目标包括加深学员对 生物信息学和其他相关的生物医学数据科学，使他们能够参与正在进行的结核病 研究活动。对低于代表小组的这两名科学家进行培训将导致 泰国结核病科学家的多样化，他们在泰国的贫困地区工作 国家。培训地点包括PSU医学院、Hatyai校区和理工学院 曼谷Mahidol大学Siriraj医院医学院。学员将花4周时间在 每个地点之后都会在各自的母校开展研究活动。 第二个目标是来自印度尼西亚苏门答腊岛的年轻大学本科毕业生。 他们来自少数民族社区。他们正在与印尼的PSU校友合作 他们是北苏门答腊岛苏门答腊岛大学(USU)和 印度尼西亚亚齐省吉隆坡大学统计学科。培训将是 在每所大学安排，然后让受训人员参与当地的结核病研究活动。 年底，所有受训人员将在该部进行汇报和总结活动 流行病学，PSU，这是目前D43赠款的主要培训地点)，为期一周。

Project Summary/Abstract Tuberculosis (TB) is still an overwhelming infectious in Southeast Asia, especially in remote geographical areas and among the minority ethnic group due to socio-economic constraints. Based on " Administrative Supplements to Fogarty International Center's (FIC) Training Grants to Promote Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) diversity (NOT-TW-23-006)", there is a need to provide opportunity for under-represented group to join research career. Researchers who are from this disadvantage group are few due to inequity in opportunity in higher education in LMICs (Low- and Middle-income Countries). The current proposal is prepared to serve this purpose. Our parental project " TB/MDR-TB Research training and Capacity Strengthening for LMIC in Southeast Asia " D43TW009522 is based in Southern Thailand and includes provinces of Sumatra Island of Indonesia. Both areas have minority ethnic groups with poor access to scientific research education. Given that our training program has successful records in training new TB scientists to serve the areas, our program is in good position to expand the opportunity to these under-represented group by provide them with training on TB research. Here we have two target groups in these two countries. The first group is a small group of Muslim women who are faculty members of Faculty of Science and Technology, Pattani Campus of PSU. They hold PhD degrees and teach statistics but have only little exposure to the modern sciences of tuberculosis, especially Bioinformatics and other bio-medical data sciences. The specific aims for training of this group include enhancing the trainees' understanding in Bioinformatics and other related bio-medical data sciences to enable them to participate in ongoing TB research activities. Training of these two scientists from the under-representative group will lead to more diversification of TB scientists for Thailand, who work in the under-privileged region of the country. The training sites include Faculty of Medicine of PSU, Hatyai Campus and Faculty of Science and Faculty of Medicine, Siriraj Hospital of Mahidol University, Bangkok. The trainees will spend 4 weeks at each site followed by research activities at their home institution. The second target research trainees are young university bachelor graduates from Sumatra Indonesia who are from communities of minority ethnic groups. They are working with PSU alumni in Indonesia who are leading TB laboratory researchers in Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU) of North Sumatra and Discipline of Statistics of Universitas Syiah Kuala (SKU) of Aceh Province of Indonesia. The training will be arranged at each university followed by involvement of the trainees on local TB research activities. At the end of the year, all trainees will have debriefing and summary activities at the Department of Epidemiology, PSU, which is the main training site of the current D43 grant) for one week.
