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（由申请人提供）：这将在3年的时间内完成，通过在团队中开发高水平的电子学习专业知识，该专业知识将成为其机构以研究为中心学习的核心，并且可以在这些技术中培训其他人。 Tulane SPHTM，IEC和UPCH都有研究和培训的技术和计算基础；但是，每个人都有不同的专业知识，能力和专注力，它们相互互补。我们建议建立现有的研究合作和Fogarty基金会支持的培训计划，以增强电子能力研究研究方法论和远程诊断技能，从而扩大教学工具和方法的电子学习曲目。将进行两个试点项目，以响应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服务中培训”中，图兰和IEC将共同努力，以增强IEC的能力，从事来自多个项目的研究人员的远程教育培训，重点介绍针对特定研究技能和实践的护士和医疗保健工作者的培训。程序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，血压读数，案例报告表的填写），数据输入和特定于协议的活动。第二个飞行员将专注于培训，以使用远距离的远距离诊断工具和方法来结合智能手机和互联网以中继实验室数据。在“示范项目2：秘鲁和UPCH的研究培训中，用于结核病的应用远期诊断”的研究培训，通过完善基于手机的远程医疗平台来扩大秘鲁地区的结核病培养能力，从而扩大了基于手机的远程医疗平台，以扩大秘鲁地区的结核病培养能力。这些示范项目将基于现有 通过开发集成技术的原型来建立生态能力，并提供一个平台，以直接导致新的研究产品的方式扩展和传播该技术。在利马郊外城市的两个高卷结核病诊断实验室中建立了远程诊断系统之后，我们将实施和完善概念模型证明并制定在线培训计划，该计划将使全球的结核病控制计划受益。对每种培训试验的设计和技术支持将在合作伙伴之间共享，以扩大在所有三个机构中使用信息和通信技术在远距离交付和评估培训有效性的能力。
