这是一个新的创伤和伤害预防研究培训项目的5年竞争申请， 重点关注职业伤害、交通事故和伤害中的社会不平等以及 哥伦比亚的事故分布。Javiana教皇大学是合作机构 和莱昂纳多·昆塔纳博士，工业工程副教授兼 工效学研究：Pricpal的外国合作者。该项目将设在西南部 德克萨斯大学公共学院职业与环境健康中心 位于德克萨斯州休斯敦的Health(UTSPH)，包括与美国汽车协会的合作 和德克萨斯州卫生服务部。SWCOEH有10年的培训和 与PUJ的研究合作。该计划的目标是培训外国科学家和专业人员 通过学术培训和评估对创伤和伤害进行监测、预防、控制和评估 研究计划：1)有效处理工作场所创伤和伤害对健康的不利影响 和社区；2)描述社会、文化和经济因素如何影响创伤的分布 和伤害，以及干预方案设计；3)在以下领域发展训练有素的专业人员国际网络 创伤和伤害预防在旨在识别和预防的研究方案中进行合作 以及4)制定国家和国际预防方案，以 哥伦比亚的职业和与交通有关的伤害。为了实现这些目标，我们建议提供培训 通过三项计划活动提供研究和支持：1)长期的学术和研究准备 在UTSPH获得公共卫生硕士或博士学位或博士后 研究金特别侧重于预防和控制伤害；2)短期培训活动，包括 访问学者计划、竞争性试点项目研究培训计划和有针对性的短期课程 在哥伦比亚举办讲习班；以及3)通过支持广为传播的 向西班牙传播预防职业和交通伤害的科学信息-- 讲语言的国家。家长资助为CDC/NIOSH教育研究中心1T42OH008421-01 培训赠款目前提供的资金将持续到2010年。

This is a 5-year competing application for a new research training program in trauma and injury prevention, focused on occupational injuries, traffic-related accidents and the social inequalities in the injury and accident distribution in Colombia. The Pontificia Universidad Javeriana (PUJ) is the collaborating institution and Leonardo Quintana, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering and Director of the Center for Studies in Ergonomics the Prinicpal Foreign Collaborator. The program will be located in the Southwest Center for Occupational and Environmental Health (SWCOEH) at the University of Texas School of Public Health (UTSPH) in Houston, Texas, and includes collaborations with the American Automobile Association and the Texas Department of State Health Services. The SWCOEH has a 10-year history of training and research collaboration with PUJ. The program goals are to train foreign scientists and professionals in trauma and injury surveillance, prevention, control, and evaluation through an academic training and research program to: 1) deal effectively with the adverse health effects of trauma and injury in theworkplace and the community; 2) describe how social, cultural and economic factors influence the distribution of trauma and injury, and intervention program design; 3) develop an international network of trained professionals in trauma and injury prevention to collaborate in research programs aimed at the identification and prevention of occupational and traffic-related injuries, and 4) develop national and international prevention programs for occupational and traffic-related injuries in Colombia. To achieve these goals, we propose to provide training and research support through three program activities: 1) long-term academic and research preparation in the United States at the UTSPH leading to a masters or doctoral degree in public health or postdoctoral fellowships specifically focused on injury prevention and control; 2) short-term training activities including a visiting scholars program, a competitive pilot projects research training program, and targeted short courses and workshops in Colombia; and 3) information dissemination, through support of the widespread dissemination of scientific information on occupational and traffic-related injury prevention to Spanish- speaking countries. The parent grant is 1T42OH008421-01, a CDC/NIOSH Education and Research Center training grant currently funded through 2010.
