DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Global Infectious Disease Research Training Program research training proposal is submitted jointly by faculty of the Center for Tropical and Emerging Global Diseases (CTEGD) at the University of Georgia (UGA) and faculty of the Institute of Biotechnological Investigations (IIB/INTECH) at the National University of General San Martin (UNSAM), Argentina. The focus of this proposal is to expand the parasitic disease research capacity at the IIB/INTECH to provide training opportunities for participants at that Institution within the context of ongoing and future U.S. research collaborations. The Training Program in Parasitic Diseases at the IIB/INTECH centers on the Training Program in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology of this public institution. The Director of this program is the proposed Co-Program Director, with whom the Program Director of this application has a long term collaboration. The research areas in which the trainees will work refer to diseases of considerable importance in Argentina: Chagas' disease, leishmaniases and toxoplasmosis. The research lines range from basic studies on the biochemistry and molecular biology of the pathogens, and the host/parasite relationship, to very applied aspects, like the development of new diagnostic kits, and vaccines. This training proposal is founded on NIH P01 and R01 grants and other funded projects held collaboratively between UGA and IIB/INTECH scientists. These projects have already demonstrated the ability of UGA/IIB/INTECH scientists to jointly pursue productive research and train predoctoral and postdoctoral students. The IIB/INTECH scientists will work with internationally recognized scientists at UGA who have demonstrated outstanding training skills. Educational experiences for predoctoral trainees will focus on appropriate course work and in depth thesis research. Postdoctoral training will focus on research. Students will participate in journal clubs, seminars, scientific meetings and short-term overseas opportunities, and will learn aspects of parasitology outside of their own research focus, as well as research integrity. IIB/INTECH has most of the basic installations and equipment required for modern research in biochemistry, molecular and cell biology. The UGA is a leading center for graduate education and has outstanding facilities and resources available to students and faculty. Funding is requested for 5 years to support 5 predoctoral and 2 postdoctoral trainees per year.

说明（由申请人提供）：本全球传染病研究培训计划研究培训提案由乔治亚大学 (UGA) 热带和新发全球疾病中心 (CTEGD) 教员和阿根廷国立圣马丁将军大学 (UNSAM) 生物技术调查研究所 (IIB/INTECH) 教员联合提交。该提案的重点是扩大 IIB/INTECH 的寄生虫病研究能力，以便在当前和未来的美国研究合作背景下为该机构的参与者提供培训机会。 IIB/INTECH 的寄生虫病培训项目以该公共机构的分子生物学和生物技术培训项目为中心。该项目的主任是拟议的联合项目主任，该应用程序的项目主任与该主任有长期合作。学员将从事的研究领域涉及阿根廷相当重要的疾病：恰加斯病、利什曼病和弓形体病。研究范围从病原体的生物化学和分子生物学以及宿主/寄生虫关系的基础研究，到非常应用的方面，如新诊断试剂盒和疫苗的开发。该培训计划以 NIH P01 和 R01 拨款以及佐治亚大学和 IIB/INTECH 科学家合作举办的其他资助项目为基础。这些项目已经展示了UGA/IIB/INTECH科学家共同进行富有成效的研究和培养博士前和博士后学生的能力。 IIB/INTECH 科学家将与佐治亚大学国际公认的科学家合作，这些科学家表现出了出色的培训技能。博士前培训生的教育经验将侧重于适当的课程作业和深入的论文研究。博士后培训将侧重于研究。学生将参加期刊俱乐部、研讨会、科学会议和短期海外机会，并将学习自己研究重点之外的寄生虫学方面以及研究诚信。 IIB/INTECH 拥有现代生物化学、分子和细胞生物学研究所需的大部分基本装置和设备。佐治亚大学是领先的研究生教育中心，为学生和教师提供一流的设施和资源。申请资助期限为 5 年，每年支持 5 名博士前培训生和 2 名博士后培训生。
