E-capacity for Trauma, Injuries and Disability Research and Training in Uganda

描述（申请人提供）：以约翰霍普金斯大学和马凯雷雷大学建立的研究和能力发展伙伴关系为基础，研究创伤、伤害和残疾的慢性后果（慢性三重性人格障碍）在乌干达的整个生命周期（D43，裁决编号D43 TW 009284），我们提出这个培训计划，以提高电子能力，（e）通过创新的可持续能力发展模式，将相关的信息和通信技术工具应用于乌干达创伤、伤害和残疾方面的研究和培训项目。约翰霍普金斯大学-马凯雷雷大学电子创伤、伤害和残疾研究所的方法（JHU-MU E-TRIAD）在乌干达是建立在两个机构-约翰霍普金斯大学彭博公共卫生学院（JHU），美国和马凯雷雷大学公共卫生学院（MU），乌干达-目前正在从事福格蒂国际中心D43奖开发创伤，受伤和残疾。这两个机构都致力于研究培训、全面应用相关信息和通信技术（信通技术;在此定义为“电子能力”）和全球卫生研究方面的专门知识，以及它们的合作历史。在我们的模式中，美国的专业知识将部署在与MU的合作伙伴关系中，以进一步加强乌干达的机构;促进可持续的培训企业，重点是发展创伤，伤害和残疾的研究和培训的电子能力;将这些新资产应用于全球健康研究的其他领域;并使这些资源在乌干达各地传播。该项目的具体目标是：（1）利用短期、结构化的电子能力培训和电子辅导国内讲习班，纳入基本和先进的信通技术内容，以及在线课程和网络研讨会，培养一个核心研究人员小组，重点是在毛里求斯大学的创伤、伤害和残疾研究和培训方案中使用和整合电子能力;（2）促进利用电子能力，围绕乌干达创伤、伤害和残疾方面的国家重点开展相关研究，让受训人员亲自使用信通技术开展研究和数据收集项目，并吸取适用于全球卫生研究其他专题的经验教训;和（3）在MU内建立一个家，以促进对电子能力的理解和使用，在乌干达MU的未来研究和健康研究培训。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): To build on the partnership for research and capacity development established by the Johns Hopkins University and Makerere University to study Chronic Consequences of Trauma, Injuries and Disability (Chronic TRIAD) Across the Lifespan in Uganda (D43, award no. D43TW009284), we propose this training program to enhance electronic capacity (e-capacity) to apply relevant ICT tools to research and training projects in trauma, injuries and disability in Uganda through an innovative model of sustainable capacity development. The approach of this Johns Hopkins University-Makerere University Electronic Trauma, Injuries and Disability (JHU-MU E-TRIAD) in Uganda is grounded in close collaboration between two institutions - Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health (JHU), USA and Makerere University School of Public Health (MU), Uganda - currently engaged in a Fogarty International Center D43 award to develop health research training for trauma, injuries and disability. Both institutions share a commitment to research training, expertise in holistic applications of relevant information and communication technology (ICT; defined as "e- capacity" here) and global health research, as well as their history of collaborative work. In our model, US expertise will be deployed in this partnership with MU to further strengthen the Ugandan institution; promote a sustainable training enterprise focused on the development of e-capacity for research and training in trauma, injuries, and disability; apply these new assets in other areas of global health research; and enable the dissemination of these resources throughout Uganda. The specific aims of this project are (1) to use short- term, structured, e-capacity training and e-mentoring in-country workshops incorporating basic and advanced ICT components, as well as online courses and webinars, to develop a core group of researchers focused on the use and integration of e-capacity in programs of research and training in trauma, injuries and disability at MU; (2) to promote the use of e-capacity in the production of relevant research around key national priorities for trauma, injuries and disability in Uganda, engaging trainees in the hands-on use of ICT for pursuing their research and data collection projects and learning lessons applicable to other topics in global health research; and (3) to establish a home within MU to promote the understanding and uses of e-capacity in future research and training for health research at MU in Uganda.
