Linked-Strengthening Maternal, Newborn & Child Health Research Training in Kenya

描述(由申请者提供)：肯尼亚加强母婴儿童健康研究培训是与肯尼亚创新医学教育伙伴关系(肯尼亚总理)的方案赠款相联系的一项申请。这一关联奖项的总体目标是在内罗毕大学(UON)建立一个孕产妇、新生儿和儿童健康卓越合作中心(MNCH)，该中心将建设研究能力，并提供与实现肯尼亚卫生发展目标相关的实施科学和应用研究、健康指标和评估以及项目领导方面的杰出培训。将与华盛顿大学合作，通过以下具体目标开展这项工作：目标1.为培养进行多学科实施科学研究并转化为政策和实践的能力，将实施一项包括儿科、产科/妇科和社区卫生方面的短期、中期和长期培训的培训方案，供医务人员和研究生使用。应用研究方法和健康指标方面的培训将与综合MNCH临床和项目管理培训相结合，以优化向肯尼亚妇女、婴儿和儿童提供适当、高影响的服务。目的2.为了促进实施科学研究，与卫生部合作，加强社区层面的MNCH努力，UON COE将为来自至少两个不同学科的医学教师和/或研究生团队提供机会，竞争由UON-UW导师计划支持的分散临床培训地点的MNCH项目，以及通过Prime-肯尼亚方案奖开发的设施和基于社区的数据收集和评估系统。目的3.为了加强MNCH项目的领导能力，并在MNCH的UON和肯尼亚卫生部(MOH)项目之间架起桥梁，UON COE将与Afya Bora联盟合作，提供为期9个月的奖学金和为期5周的证书课程，内容涉及领导力、公共卫生政策、项目管理、监测和评估以及利用参与性学习、广泛的实地访问和附件的相关研究方法。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Strengthening Maternal, Newborn & Child Health Research Training in Kenya is an application linked to the Programmatic grant of the Partnership for Innovative Medical Education in Kenya (PRIME Kenya). The overarching aim of this Linked Award is to establish a Collaborative Center of Excellence in Maternal, Newborn, & Child Health (MNCH) at the University of Nairobi (UON) which will build research capacity and provide outstanding training in implementation science and applied research, health metrics and evaluation, and program leadership relevant to achieving Kenya's health development goals. This will be done in collaboration with the University of Washington through the following specific aims: AIM 1. To build capacity to conduct multidisciplinary implementation science research that translates into policy and practice, a training program consisting of short-, medium- and long-term training will be implemented for medical faculty and post-graduates in Pediatrics, Obstetrics/Gynecology and Community Health. Training in applied research methods and health metrics will be coupled with integrated MNCH clinical and program management training in order to optimize delivery of appropriate, high-impact services to women, infants and children in Kenya. AIM 2. To promote implementation science research that strengthens MNCH efforts at the community level in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, the UON COE will provide opportunities for teams of medical faculty and/or post-graduates from at least two different disciplines to compete for MNCH projects based at decentralized clinical training sites supported by the UON-UW mentorship program and, facility and community-based data collection and evaluation systems developed through the PRIME-Kenya programmatic award. AIM 3. To enhance MNCH program leadership capacity and build bridges between the UON and the Kenya Ministries of Health (MOH) programs in MNCH, the UON COE will collaborate with the Afya Bora Consortium to offer an 9-month fellowship and a 5-week certificate program in leadership, public health policy, program management, monitoring and evaluation and relevant research methodology that utilizes participatory learning, extended field visits and attachments.
