INTERNATIONAL TRAINING IN POPULATION, HEALTH AND AGING

描述：(根据申请者的描述改编)北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校(UNC-CH)卡罗莱纳人口中心(CPC)的研究人员在国际环境下建立了一系列合作，研究与快速社会变化、环境以及营养下胎儿和婴儿的长期影响相关的人口和健康问题。我们的合作是独一无二的，因为它们是围绕长期合作项目组织的，这些项目包括纵向数据收集以及针对各种主题的广泛、实质性的研究。合作者是以下国家的著名研究机构：中国(中国预防医学科学院，北京；CAPM)；菲律宾(圣卡洛斯大学人口研究室)；泰国(马希多尔大学人口与社会研究所；IPSR)；俄罗斯(俄罗斯医学科学院营养研究所)和俄罗斯科学院(IS)社会学研究所；厄瓜多尔(Fundacion Ecociencia，以下简称Ecociencia)和人口与社会发展研究中心(CEPAR)。 拟议的拨款包括对研究人员、研究生和知名学者进行短期、中期和长期培训。目前和拟议的Fogarty支持使我们能够与我们的合作者就更广泛的机构目标以及他们希望发展的技能和能力类型进行广泛讨论，并就这些讨论采取行动。这项拟议的继续资助使我们能够通过将北卡罗来纳大学或其他地方的教师带到他们的机构，通过让我们的合作者来到北卡罗来纳大学，或者通过派遣他们参加地区研讨会，来促进我们广泛和具体的培训目标。这些努力的结果是发展了最先进的测量和分析技术技能，并在国际顶级期刊上发表了文章。我们还帮助来自北卡罗来纳大学的S博士在他们的家乡机构建立了研究项目和设施，促进了他们的回国和未来的生产力。在第一笔Fogarty资助成功的基础上，我们提议第二笔资助将巩固和扩展我们与CAPM、OPS和IPSR迄今所取得的成果，并通过增加两个新的合作国家和厄瓜多尔和俄罗斯的两个机构来扩大我们的覆盖范围。

DESCRIPTION: (Adapted from the Applicant's Description) Researchers at the Carolina Population Center (CPC) of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) have established a set of collaborations in international settings to study population and health issues associated with rapid societal change, the environment, and the long-term effects of fetal and infant under nutrition. Our collaborations are unique in that they are organized around long-term collaborative projects that include longitudinal data collection as well as broadly based substantively oriented research on a wide variety of topics. The collaborators are eminent research institutions in China (Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine, Beijing; CAPM); the Philippines (Office of Population Studies at the University of San Carlos, OPS); Thailand (Institute of Population and Social Research, Mahidol University; IPSR); Russia (the Russian Institute of Nutrition, Russian Academy of Medical Sciences (RIN) and Institute of Sociology, Russian Academy of Science (IS); and Ecuador (Fundacion Ecociencia, hereafter Ecociencia) and Centro de Estudios sobre Poblacion y Desarrollo Social (Center for the Study of Population and Social Development, or CEPAR. The proposed grant consists of mix of short-, medium-, and long-term training of researchers, graduate students, and established scholars. The current and proposed Fogarty support made it possible to have wide-ranging discussions with our collaborators about broader institutional goals and the types of skills and capacity they would like to develop, and to act on those discussions. This proposed continuation grant allows us to further both our broad-based and specific training goals by bringing faculty from UNC-CH or elsewhere to their institutions, by having our collaborators come to UNC, or by sending them to regional workshops. These efforts resulted in development of skills in state of the art measurement and analytic techniques and publications in top international journals. We were also able to help recent Ph.D.'s from UNC-CH to establish research programs and facilities in their home institution, facilitating their return and future productivity. Based on the success of the first Fogarty grant, we propose a second that will consolidate and extend the gains made so far in our collaborations with the CAPM, OPS and IPSR and to broaden our reach through the addition of two new collaborating countries with two institutions in Ecuador and Russia.
