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

描述(由申请人提供)：在约翰·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的基础上，研究创伤、伤害和残疾(慢性三联症)在乌干达的终身慢性后果(D43，获奖编号。(D43TW009284)，我们提出了这一培训计划，旨在通过可持续能力发展的创新模式，提高电子能力(e-能力)，以将相关的ICT工具应用于乌干达的创伤、伤害和残疾研究和培训项目。约翰霍普金斯大学-马凯雷雷大学电子创伤、伤害和残疾(JHU-MU E-TRIAD)在乌干达的做法是建立在两个机构--美国约翰霍普金斯大学布隆伯格公共卫生学院(JHU)和乌干达马凯雷雷大学公共卫生学院(MU)--之间的密切合作基础上的，这两个机构目前正在参与Fogarty国际中心D43奖项，以开展创伤、伤害和残疾方面的健康研究培训。这两个机构都致力于研究、培训、相关信息和通信技术(信通技术；在此定义为“电子能力”)的全面应用方面的专门知识和全球卫生研究，以及它们的协作工作历史。在我们的模式中，美国的专业知识将被部署在与MU的这一伙伴关系中，以进一步加强乌干达的机构；促进专注于发展创伤、伤害和残疾方面的研究和培训的电子能力的可持续培训企业；将这些新资产应用于全球卫生研究的其他领域；并使这些资源能够在乌干达各地传播。该项目的具体目标是：(1)利用包含基本和高级信息和通信技术组成部分的短期、结构化的电子能力培训和国内电子辅导讲习班，以及在线课程和网络研讨会，培养一批核心研究人员，重点是在密歇根大学创伤、伤害和残疾的研究和培训方案中利用和整合电子能力；(2)促进在围绕乌干达创伤、伤害和残疾的关键国家优先事项进行相关研究方面利用电子能力，让学员动手使用信息和通信技术，以开展他们的研究和数据收集项目，并学习适用于全球卫生研究其他主题的经验教训；(3)在管理大学内建立一个家庭，以促进在乌干达管理大学未来的卫生研究研究和培训中对电子能力的理解和使用。

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.
