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(由申请者提供)：该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，迫切需要改善公共卫生和医学研究培训。塔吉克斯坦，前苏联的一部分，有着悠久的使用植物疗法治疗和预防慢性非传染性疾病(NCDD)的传统，这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。拟建中心将以文化敏感的方式，将西方医学的强化教学培训与强大的植物医学传统知识结合起来，并为毕业的博士和博士后水平的研究科学家建立一种可持续的机制，他们可以将这两种体系结合起来，造福塔吉克斯坦。拟议的培训计划将得到NIH资助的三个项目的大力支持，这三个项目涉及参与这一申请的大部分研究培训教师：国家植物和代谢综合征中心、NIH T32抗击代谢综合征植物方法培训补助金，以及现已完成的名为“在中亚建设新的制药能力”的国际合作生物多样性组织(ICBG)计划。此外，拟议的计划将利用全球生物探索研究所(GIBEX)建立的全球研究培训基础设施。建立信任措施项目主任(拉斯金)和协调员(杜申科夫)曾在塔吉克斯坦工作，会说俄语(科学语言和受过教育的专业人员)，并与参与建立信任措施的塔吉克机构建立了密切联系。建立信任措施将涉及三家美国机构，即罗格斯大学、彭宁顿生物医学研究中心/路易斯安那州立大学和尤金尼奥·玛丽亚·德霍斯托斯社区学院(Eugenio Maria De Hostos Community College)，这是一家专门从事与健康相关的培训的少数族裔服务机构，以及五家塔吉克机构。它将正式培训六名博士后和四名博士后；然而，它将把远程学习课程、在线培训和国家活动扩展到更多的塔吉克科学家和卫生专业人员。建立信任措施的目的是为塔吉克科学家在利用植物药物预防和治疗代谢综合征的跨学科研究中的密集研究、培训和留住提供可持续的基础。
