DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The training of biomedical scientists from Brazil continues to be the focus of the renewal of this training grant. Scientists at Einstein have well established long standing research collaborations with Brazil. This grant has now trained over 20 individuals from Brazil on research techniques for infectious diseases. This training has and will continue to enhance the capabilities to combat the intractable infectious diseases endemic in Brazil. The proposed renewal of this training program will build upon the successes of the previous granting period. The goal of this renewal application is to harness state-of-the-art scientific knowledge and technical skills to augment programs to prevent, treat and control the major infectious diseases causing significant morbidity and mortality in Brazil. We will focus on infections endemic to Brazil for which there are existing collaborative interactions between Brazilian scientists and institutions and the scientists at The Albert Einstein College of Medicine. The participating Brazilian co-mentors are at the Federal Universities of Rio de Janeiro Minas Gerais and Sao Paulo, and the Foundation Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ). The diseases included in this training program are: fungal diseases (i.e., histoplasmosis, sporotrichosis) parasitic diseases (Chagas disease, toxoplasmosis and malaria) and bacterial diseases (legionnaire's disease and tuberculosis) which are endemic to Brazil. The proposed training program includes both didactic and laboratory components, as well as a formal course in ethics and the responsible conduct of research. Participants will include those coming for either short or long term periods of time, predoctoral students and post-doctoral fellows. Our renewal application is innovative in its use of the established research collaborations and education programs at Einstein. In addition, our research program crosses traditional institutional lines and is set up as a thematic approach involving more than one institution. We believe that this training program will contribute significantly to the long term goal of building sustainable research capacity in the relevant endemic infectious diseases of Brazil.

说明（由申请人提供）：培训巴西的生物医学科学家仍然是延长这一培训补助金的重点。爱因斯坦的科学家与巴西建立了长期的研究合作关系。这项赠款现已对来自巴西的20多人进行了传染病研究技术方面的培训。这种培训已经并将继续提高巴西防治地方性顽固传染病的能力。该培训计划的拟议更新将建立在前一个赠款期的成功基础上。此次更新申请的目的是利用最先进的科学知识和技术技能，加强预防、治疗和控制巴西造成重大发病率和死亡率的主要传染病的方案。我们将重点关注巴西特有的感染，巴西科学家和机构与阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦医学院的科学家之间存在合作互动。参与的巴西共同导师来自里约热内卢米纳斯吉拉斯和圣保罗的联邦大学以及奥斯瓦尔多·克鲁斯基金会。本培训计划中包括的疾病是：真菌疾病（即，这些疾病包括：组织胞浆菌病、孢子虫病、寄生虫病（恰加斯病、弓形虫病和疟疾）和细菌性疾病（军团病和结核病），这些疾病是巴西的地方病。拟议的培训方案包括教学和实验室组成部分，以及一个正式的课程，在道德和负责任的研究行为。与会者将包括那些来无论是短期或长期的时间，博士前的学生和博士后研究员。我们的续约申请是创新的，在爱因斯坦建立的研究合作和教育计划的使用。此外，我们的研究计划跨越传统的机构线，并设置为涉及一个以上的机构的主题方法。我们相信，这一培训计划将大大有助于建设巴西相关地方性传染病的可持续研究能力的长期目标。
