DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project will establish an International Research Training Center for Botanicals and Metabolic Syndrome (CBMS) in Tajikistan, one of the poorest countries in the world in critical need of improved public health and training in medical research. Tajikistan, formerly a part of the Soviet Union, has a well-established tradition of usin botanical therapeutics for treatment and prevention of Chronic, Non-Communicable Diseases and Disorders (NCDDs) going back a thousand years to the times of renowned Tajik physician and philosopher Avicenna. The proposed Center will integrate, in a culturally sensitive way, intensive didactic training in western medical science with the strong traditional knowledge of botanical medicine and develop a sustainable mechanism for graduating Ph.D. and postdoctoral-level research scientists who can merge these two systems for the benefit of Tajikistan. The proposed training program will be strongly leveraged by three NIH-funded programs that involve most of the research training faculty participating in this application: National Center for Botanicals and Metabolic Syndrome, NIH T32 Training Grant in Botanical Approaches to Combat Metabolic Syndrome and now completed International Cooperative Biodiversity Groups (ICBG) program titled "Building New Pharmaceutical Capabilities in Central Asia." In addition the proposed program will take advantage of the world-wide research training infrastructure established by the Global Institute for Bio exploration (GIBEX). CBMS Program Director (Raskin) and Coordinator (Dushenkov) have worked in Tajikistan, speak Russian (the language of science and educated professionals) and have established close connections with Tajik institutions involved in CBMS. CBMS will involve three US institutions, Rutgers University, Pennington Biomedical research Center/Louisiana State University and Eugenio Maria de Hostos Community College, a minority serving institution specializing in health-related training, and five Tajik institutions. It will formally train six Ph.D. students and four postdoctoral fellow; however, it will extend its distance learning courses, online training and in country events to a much larger number of Tajik scientists and health professionals. CBMS's aim is to provide a sustainable foundation for intense research training and retention of Tajik scientists in the interdisciplinary studies of the uses of botanicals for the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome.

描述（由申请人提供）：本项目将在塔吉克斯坦建立一个植物和代谢综合征（CBMS）国际研究培训中心，塔吉克斯坦是世界上最贫穷的国家之一，急需改善公共卫生和医学研究培训。塔吉克斯坦以前是苏联的一部分，有着使用植物疗法治疗和预防慢性非传染性疾病和病症的悠久传统，可以追溯到一千年前著名的塔吉克医生和哲学家阿维森纳的时代。拟建的中心将以文化敏感的方式，将西方医学科学的强化教学培训与植物医学的强大传统知识相结合，并为博士毕业制定可持续的机制。和博士后水平的研究科学家谁可以合并这两个系统，为塔吉克斯坦的利益。拟议的培训计划将得到NIH资助的三个项目的大力支持，这些项目涉及参与本申请的大多数研究培训教师：国家植物药和代谢综合征中心，NIH T32植物学方法对抗代谢综合征培训补助金以及现已完成的国际生物多样性合作组织（ICBG）题为“在中亚建立新的制药能力”的项目。“此外，拟议的计划将利用全球生物勘探研究所（GIBEX）建立的全球研究培训基础设施。CBMS项目主任（Raskin）和协调员（Dushenkov）曾在塔吉克斯坦工作，讲俄语（科学和受过教育的专业人员的语言），并与参与CBMS的塔吉克斯坦机构建立了密切联系。CBMS将涉及三个美国机构，罗格斯大学，彭宁顿生物医学研究中心/路易斯安那州立大学和Eugenio Maria de Hoclane社区学院，一个专门从事健康相关培训的少数民族服务机构，以及五个塔吉克机构。将正式培养6名博士。此外，该中心还将为更多的塔吉克科学家和卫生专业人员提供远程学习课程、在线培训和国家活动。CBMS的目的是提供一个可持续的基础，密集的研究培训和保留塔吉克科学家在跨学科研究的使用植物预防和治疗代谢综合征。
