Vector/Host-Parasite Interface of Leishmaniasis in Colombia

描述（由申请人提供）：我们的福格蒂培训计划的总体目标是提高研究能力，以确定和评估阻断哥伦比亚利什曼病和其他病媒传播疾病（登革热和疟疾）的传播和发病机制的战略。为了建立长期可持续的能力，以满足国家和地区的研究需求，家长资助使耶鲁大学和CIDEIM能够开发和提供一系列与病媒传播的预防、治疗和控制相关的现场学习研究生课程，这些课程在传统的研究生和研究生学术课程中没有充分涵盖。与此同时，迫切需要加强核心研究技能，这些技能可应用于关于任何传染病或公共卫生问题的研究的制定、规划、实施、评价和随后的写作。该应用程序的总体目标是建立CIDEIM的机构能力，以开发和使用虚拟电子学习方法来开发侧重于卫生研究管理技能和获取信息的虚拟培训方案。更具体地说，这个应用程序是：(1)开发一个适当的、用户友好的、交互式的“卫生研究有效项目规划和评估”（EPPE）培训计划的在线版本；(2)开展“获取科学文献”在线培训项目；(3)将CIDEIM现有的生物统计学课程转换为完全在线的形式；(4)通过CIDEIM网站提供这些新的虚拟课程，并探索其他途径，使这些课程广泛提供给卫生学生、研究人员和从业人员。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall objective of our Fogarty Training Program is to increase research capacity to identify and evaluate strategies to interrupt the transmission and pathogenesis of leishmaniasis and other vector-borne diseases endemic in Colombia (Dengue and Malaria). With the aim of building long-term sustainable capacity to address national and regional research needs, the parent grant has enabled Yale and CIDEIM to develop and deliver a series of live learning post-graduate courses on topics relevant to vector-borne prevention, treatment and control that are not sufficiently covered in traditional graduate and post-graduate academic curricula. At the same time, there is a critical need for strengthening core research skills which can be applied to the development, planning, implementation, evaluation and subsequent writing of research on any infectious disease or public health issue. The general aim of this application is to build institutional capacity in CIDEIM to develop and use virtual e-learning methodologies to develop virtual training programs focused on health research management skills and access to information. More specifically, this application is to: (1) develop an appropriate, user-friendly, interactive online version of the "Effective Project Planning and Evaluation for Health Research" (EPPE) training program; (2) develop an online training program in Access to Scientific Literature; (3) transfer an existing Biostatistics course taught at CIDEIM to a fully online format; (4) offer these new virtual courses through the CIDEIM website and explore other avenues to make these courses widely available to health students, researchers and practitioners. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The activities outlined above will ensure the development of expertise in the creation, implementation and dissemination of online curricula, and the application of the same to virtual training programs to strengthen core health research skills. Virtual modalities will facilitate the integration of this training into higher education curricula and provide flexible continuing education possibilities for health researchers and practitioners.
