DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Malaria remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Zambia. With support from international donors, including the US Presidents Malaria Initiative (PMI), empirically-proven effective interventions are being scaled-up across Zambia. However, for malaria control efforts to be sustainable in Zambia, with the long-term goal of malaria elimination, a cadre of well-trained Zambian scientists will be needed to conduct malaria research that contributes to successful implementation and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of scale-up efforts. Particularly, there is a need to increase local capacity in the areas of biomedical, behavioral, health services and entomological research for ensuring interventions are having intended effects. The focus of this proposal is to plan a five year program for providing integrated research training to Zambian scientists and health professionals in malaria control research. The following specific aims will allow us to successfully plan for such an integrated and sustainable malaria training program in Zambia in support of PMI: 1) Perform a comprehensive needs assessment to identify gaps in knowledge, expertise and training in best-practices in implementation and M&E of current malaria control activities in Zambia; 2) Design an interactive and hands-on research training program for health professionals working in malaria control in Zambia; and 2) Identify and support the necessary capacity development in administrative, financial management and research training needed to undertake a sustainable comprehensive research training program in collaboration with the University of Zambia. We anticipate that a successful research and training program will serve to guide decision-makers in their development and implementation of cost-effective malaria control programs in Zambia. Tailoring a sustainable program using appropriate technology and a framework of collaboration in support of PMI activities will greatly increase the likelihood of controlling, and perhaps eventually eliminating, malaria in Zambia. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: A successful research and training program will serve to guide decision-makers in their development and implementation of cost-effective malaria control programs in Zambia. Tailoring a sustainable program using appropriate technology and a framework of collaboration in support of PMI activities will greatly increase the likelihood of controlling, and perhaps eventually eliminating, malaria in Zambia.

描述（由申请人提供）：疟疾仍然是赞比亚发病和死亡的主要原因。在包括美国总统疟疾倡议（PMI）在内的国际捐助者的支持下，经验证明有效的干预措施正在赞比亚全国推广。然而，为了使疟疾控制工作在赞比亚具有消除疟疾的长期目标的可持续性，将需要一支训练有素的赞比亚科学家骨干队伍来开展疟疾研究，从而有助于成功实施和监测和评估扩大工作。特别是需要提高当地在生物医学、行为、保健服务和昆虫学研究领域的能力，以确保干预措施产生预期效果。这项建议的重点是规划一个五年方案，向赞比亚科学家和卫生专业人员提供疟疾控制研究方面的综合研究培训。以下具体目标将使我们能够成功地在赞比亚规划这样一个综合和可持续的疟疾培训项目，以支持PMI: 1)进行全面的需求评估，以确定在赞比亚目前疟疾控制活动的实施和M&E的最佳实践方面的知识、专业知识和培训方面的差距；2)为赞比亚从事疟疾控制工作的卫生专业人员设计一个互动式和实践性的研究培训方案；2)确定并支持与赞比亚大学合作开展可持续综合研究培训计划所需的行政、财务管理和研究培训方面的必要能力发展。我们预计，一个成功的研究和培训项目将有助于指导决策者在赞比亚制定和实施具有成本效益的疟疾控制项目。利用适当的技术和协作框架制定可持续的项目，以支持PMI活动，这将大大增加赞比亚控制、甚至最终消除疟疾的可能性。公共卫生相关性：一项成功的研究和培训方案将有助于指导决策者在赞比亚制定和实施具有成本效益的疟疾控制方案。利用适当的技术和协作框架制定可持续的项目，以支持PMI活动，这将大大增加赞比亚控制、甚至最终消除疟疾的可能性。
