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.

项目总结/摘要 在东南亚，尤其是偏远地区，结核病仍然是一种压倒性的传染病， 由于社会经济的限制，在一些地区和少数民族群体中，根据《行政 福格蒂国际中心（FIC）培训赠款的补充，以促进多样性，公平性和包容性 (DEI)多样性（NOT-TW-23-006）"，需要为代表性不足的群体提供机会， 加入研究事业。由于研究的不公平性，来自这一弱势群体的研究者很少。 LMICs（低收入和中等收入国家）的高等教育机会。当前的提议是 准备为这个目的服务。 我们的母项目“东南亚LMIC的TB/MDR-TB研究培训和能力加强“ D43 TW 009522位于泰国南部，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，他们接受科研教育的机会很少。鉴于我们的 培训项目在培训新的结核病科学家为这些地区服务方面有成功的记录，我们的项目是 有能力通过向这些代表性不足的群体提供 结核病研究培训。 我们在这两个国家有两个目标群体。 第一组是一小群穆斯林妇女，她们是理学院的教员， 技术，帕塔尼校园的PSU。他们拥有博士学位，教授统计学，但只有很少的 接触结核病的现代科学，特别是生物信息学和其他生物医学数据 以理工科为重该小组培训的具体目标包括提高学员对以下方面的认识： 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。对这两名来自代表性不足小组的科学家的培训将导致 泰国结核病科学家更加多样化，他们在贫困地区工作， 国家培训地点包括PSU医学系、合艾校区和理学院， 曼谷玛希隆大学拉吉医院医学院。学员将在为期4周的 每个研究中心随后在其所在机构开展研究活动。 第二个目标研究学员是来自印度尼西亚苏门答腊的年轻大学本科毕业生 他们来自少数民族社区。他们正在与印度尼西亚的PSU校友合作 他们是北苏门答腊苏门答腊Utara大学（USU）结核病实验室的主要研究人员， 印度尼西亚亚齐省Syiah Kuala大学统计学科。培训将 在每所大学安排培训，然后让学员参与当地的结核病研究活动。 年底，所有受训人员将在教育部进行情况汇报和总结活动。 流行病学，PSU，这是目前D43赠款的主要培训地点）一周。
