DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This will be accomplished over a 3 year span by developing a high level of e-learning expertise in a team that will serve as a nucleus for research-focused learning at their institutions and who can train others in these techniques. Tulane SPHTM, IECS and UPCH all have a technical and computing foundation for research and training; however each has different expertise, capabilities, and focus that are complementary to one another. We propose to build upon existing research collaborations and Fogarty Foundation-supported training programs to enhance e-capacity for teaching research methodology and telediagnostic skills, thereby expanding the e-learning repertoire of teaching tools and methods. Two pilot projects will be conducted that respond to the training needs of ongoing research. In "Demonstration Project 1: In-Service Training for Epidemiological Research Skills and Methods", Tulane and IECS will work together to enhance the capacity at IECS for distance education in-service training for research staff from several projects, focusing on training for nurses and health care workers in specific research skills and practices. Program content will include epidemiological research methods and skills to standardize data collection (e.g., questionnaires, blood pressure readings, completion of case report forms), data entry and protocol-specific activities. The second pilot will concentrate on training to use telediagnostic tools from a distance and methods to incorporate smart phones and the internet to relay laboratory data. In "Demonstration Project 2: Research Training in Applied Telediagnostics for Tuberculosis in Peru" investigators from Tulane and UPCH build on prior technological achievements by refining cell phone-based telemedicine platforms to expand tuberculosis culture capability to outlying areas in Peru. These demonstration projects will build upon existing work to build eCapacity by developing prototypes of integrated technology and provide a platform for expanding and disseminate this technology in a way that directly leads to new research products. After establishing a telediagnositics system in two high volume TB diagnostics labs in cities outside of Lima, we will implement and refine a proof of concept model and develop an online training program that will benefit TB control programs worldwide. The design and technical support for each type of training piloted will be shared among the partners, expanding capacity to deliver and evaluate the effectiveness of training at a distance using Information and Communication Technology at all three institutions.

描述(由申请者提供)：这将通过在一个团队中培养高水平的电子学习专业知识来实现，该团队将成为其机构以研究为重点的学习的核心，并能在这些技术方面培训其他人。杜兰SPHTM、IECS和UPCH都有研究和培训的技术和计算基础；然而，每个都有不同的专业知识、能力和重点，相互补充。我们建议在现有研究合作和Fogarty基金会支持的培训计划的基础上，加强教学研究方法和远程诊断技能的电子能力，从而扩大教学工具和方法的电子学习曲目。将开展两个试点项目，以满足正在进行的研究的培训需求。在“示范项目1：流行病学研究技能和方法的在职培训”中，杜兰大学和IECS将共同努力，提高IECS对几个项目的研究人员进行远程教育在职培训的能力，重点是对护士和卫生保健工作者进行具体研究技能和实践方面的培训。计划内容将包括流行病学研究方法和技能，以标准化数据收集(例如，问卷调查、血压读数、填写病例报告表)、数据输入和特定于方案的活动。第二个试点将专注于培训远程使用远程诊断工具，以及将智能手机和互联网结合起来传递实验室数据的方法。在“示范项目2：秘鲁结核病应用远程诊断研究培训”中，来自杜兰大学和UPCH大学的研究人员在先前技术成果的基础上，改进了基于手机的远程医疗平台，将结核病培养能力扩展到秘鲁的边远地区。这些示范项目将建立在现有基础上 致力于通过开发集成技术的原型来建设eCapacity，并提供一个平台，以直接导致新研究产品的方式扩展和传播这项技术。在利马以外城市的两个高容量结核病诊断实验室建立远程诊断系统后，我们将实施和完善概念验证模型，并开发一个在线培训计划，使全球的结核病控制计划受益。合作伙伴将分享试点的每一种培训的设计和技术支持，扩大能力，利用信息和通信技术在所有三个机构提供远程培训并评估其有效性。
