Clinical, Public Health, & Behavioral Oral Health Research Training for Thailand

申请者描述(由申请人提供)：此申请书建议建立在华盛顿大学牙科学院和泰国法政大学和坤健大学附属牙科学院之间建立的机构和个人关系，以便为泰国建立临床、公共卫生和行为口腔健康研究培训的短期、中期和长期培训计划(最终将惠及整个东南亚)。建议的培训计划包括在泰国举行的为期一到两周的临床研究方法短期研讨会，为期三个月的中期培训计划，其中包括在西雅图的临床牙科研究方法暑期研究所，以及长期计划，包括在西雅图为现有研究项目工作一年，学习高级课程，并规划论文研究项目，然后在泰国进行一年的研究项目。该项目旨在通过向威斯康星州大学的泰国博士生，特别是正在攻读博士学位的学生提供更多的临床、公共卫生和行为口腔健康研究方法和研究经验，来吸引和提高泰国法政大学和坤康大学提供的口腔科学博士学位。该项目的主任是威斯康星大学牙科学院研究和学术事务执行副院长兼教授Timothy A.DeRouen博士；副主任是法政大学和坤健大学的前牙科院长Prathip Phanumvanit博士。在完成拟议的5年资助后，来自泰国和其他东南亚国家的约50-75名牙医和研究生将参加工作坊，16人将参加华盛顿大学临床牙科研究方法暑期研究所，4人将在泰国机构完成博士S，并通过华盛顿大学接受强化的长期培训。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application proposes to build on established institutional and personal relationships between faculty at the University of Washington School of Dentistry and affiliated Faculties of Dentistry at Thammasat University and Khon Kaen University in Thailand in order to establish short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term training programs in clinical, public health, and behavioral oral health research training for Thailand (which eventually should be of benefit across all of South East Asia). The training programs proposed include short-term one-to-two week workshops on clinical research methods held in Thailand, intermediate term 3-month training programs which include the Summer Institute in Clinical Dental Research Methods in Seattle, and long-term programs which include a year working in Seattle on existing research projects, taking advanced coursework, and planning a dissertation research project, followed by a year conducting the research project in Thailand. The program is designed to attract students to and enhance the Ph.D. in Oral Science offered at Thammasat and Khon Kaen Universities in Thailand by offering access to additional clinical, public health, and behavioral oral health research methodology and research experience to Thai Ph.D. students at UW, especially for students who are in Ph.D. pathways that emphasize clinical, public health, and/or behavioral research. Director of the program is Dr. Timothy A. DeRouen, Professor and Executive Associate Dean for Research and Academic Affairs in the School of Dentistry at UW; Associate Director is Dr. Prathip Phantumvanit, former Dean of Dentistry at both Thammasat and Khon Kaen Universities. Upon completion of the proposed 5-year funding, approximately 50-75 dentists and graduate students from Thailand and other South East Asian countries will have participated in workshops, 16 will have participated in the UW Summer Institute in Clinical Dental Research Methods, and 4 will have completed Ph.D.'s at the Thai institutions with enhanced long-term training through the University of Washington.
