Global Health Equity Scholars Program

节目概要 我们的LAUNCH计划的目标是继续我们的全球卫生研究培训计划 全球健康公平学者（GHES）旨在创建一个新的社区， 研究人员，教育工作者和专业人士谁准备解决新的和新兴的全球 健康挑战。我们将在过去九年培训计划的基础上， 新的研究人员将致力于他们的研究生涯，以解决出现的健康问题， 非正式人类住区（贫民窟）中普遍存在的人类条件不平等。而 与一次解决一种疾病相比，我们建议提供全面的、多学科的 和综合办法来处理城市和农村非正规人类住区的卫生问题， 多年来由该计划的参与教师开发。这个程序 将包括四个美国合作机构（联盟）-耶鲁大学，斯坦福大学， 亚利桑那大学和加州大学伯克利分校，分别由全球健康领域的领导者领导 他们之间有超过10年的合作。核心教师 这些机构的导师在21个国家的25个机构开展研究， 非洲、中美洲和南美洲、加勒比地区;亚洲、太平洋和东欧地区 欧洲GHES计划将涉及广泛的健康研究主题，包括 艾滋病毒/艾滋病、新出现的严重传染病、非传染性疾病 (NCD)、妇女健康、环境健康、精神健康、人际暴力、物质 虐待、伤害以及所有这些健康问题在贫民窟健康框架内的相互作用。 培训将针对美国博士后研究员和博士前学生以及中低收入者 国家（LMIC）博士后研究员。我们计划每年招收9-10名实习生，其中60%为美国人 博士后受训人员将在LMIC现场工作8-12个月， 联盟和他们合作的LMIC导师。关于全球卫生的教学讲习班 研究方法将采用面对面和在线两种方式。LMIC学员将花费2-3 在美国的机构接受培训的方法，而不是在他们的机构提供。所有 在整个培训期间，将为学员提供研究和职业指导， 在完成GHES支持的研究工作后进行职业发展。因此，在此 计划，我们希望学员能够接触到全球健康研究的一个重要主题- - 保健公平-通过研究解决居住在 在非正式人类住区，并为他们提供机会，成为专家， 新的全球卫生学科。因此，这一培训方案的总体影响是， 一批新的全球卫生研究人员和领导人，他们致力于解决新出现的卫生问题 这是由于中低收入国家的非正规人类住区不断扩大而产生的。

PROGRAM SUMMARY The objective of our LAUNCH program is to continue our global health research training program called the Global Health Equity Scholars (GHES) designed to create a new community of researchers, educators, and professionals who are prepared to address new and emerging global health challenges. We will build on the last nine years of this training program to create a cadre of new researchers who will dedicate their research careers to address the health problems that arise out of the inequity of human conditions prevalent in informal human settlements (slums). Rather than addressing one disease at a time, we propose to provide acomprehensive, multidisciplinary and integrated approach to deal with urban and rural informal human settlement health issues, developed over many years by the participating faculty members of this program. This program will comprise four US partner institutions (Consortium)--Yale University, Stanford University, University of Arizona, and University of California at Berkeley, each led by a leader in global health research with more than 10 years of collaboration among themselves. Together, core faculty mentors from these institutions conduct research at 25 institutions in 21 countries, representing regions of Africa, Central and South America, the Caribbean; Asia, the Pacific, and Eastern Europe. The GHES program will address a wide range of health research topics including HIV/AIDs, emerging and high- consequence infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases (NCD), women's health, environmental health, mental health, interpersonal violence, substance abuse, injuries, and the interaction of all of these health issues within the framework of slum health. Training will target US postdoctoral fellows and pre- doctoral students and low and middle-income country (LMIC) postdoctoral fellows. We plan to recruit 9-10 trainees/year with 60% of them as US postdoctoral fellows. The trainees will spend 8-12-months at an LMIC site under the supervisionof the Consortium and their collaborating LMIC mentors. Didactic workshops on global health research methods will be conducted both in-person and online. LMIC trainees will spend 2-3 months at US institutionsto undergo training in methods not provided at their institutions. All of the trainees will be provided with research and career mentorship throughout their training and tracked for career development after completion of their GHES-supported research work. Thus, under this program, we expect the trainees to be exposed to one important theme in global health research- -health equity--through research that deals with health concerns of vulnerable populations residing in informal human settlements, and provide them with an opportunity to become experts in this new global health discipline. The overall impact of this training programis, therefore, to create a new cadre of global health researchers and leaders who address the emerging health issues arising out of ever-expanding informal human settlements of LMICs.
