International Training and Research in EOH

BB首席调查员/项目总监Frumkin，Howard Description。说明申请的广泛、长期目标和具体目标，并参考该项目与健康有关的内容。简明扼要地描述实现这些目标的研究设计和方法。避免总结过去的成就和使用第一人称。此描述的目的是在脱离应用程序时，作为对拟议工作的简洁而准确的描述。如果申请得到资助，这一描述将成为公开信息。在这里，不包括专有/机密信息。不要超过规定的空位。本申请寻求对环境与职业健康方面的国际培训和研究提供支持，这是一所美国大学(Emory)与智利(智利大学)和秘鲁(Peruana Cayetano Heredia)著名大学之间的合作伙伴关系。秘鲁和智利是南美国家，发展水平不同，但存在一系列严重的、基本上共同存在的环境健康问题，包括空气污染、水污染、高海拔影响、矿山废物、重金属等。培训分为三个阶段：正式学术培训、桥梁奖学金和国内研究。正式的学术培训将在墨西哥国家公共卫生研究所/墨西哥公共卫生学院提供，这是拉丁美洲的一家领先机构，也是以前得到Fogarty支持的机构。这一计划有几个优点：高质量的培训，西班牙语培训，“南向南”培训的概念，低成本，以及利用先前的Fogarty支持。桥梁奖学金是这项申请的创新部分，是埃默里大学为期四到六个月的奖学金，在此期间，学员将在教师的密切指导下制定他们的研究方案，获得他们需要的特定额外技能，与美国同事建立合作关系，并寻求资助机会。布里奇奖学金将作为小型休假计划，利用埃默里作为公共卫生研究孵化器的绝佳机会，培育研究方案。最后，受训者将返回智利和秘鲁进行国内研究；该计划将提供小额赠款来支持他们。在这一阶段将提供密切的后续行动和协作。虽然有些学员将接受所有三个阶段的培训，但另一些学员已经完成了学术培训，只需要后两个阶段。提出了强有力的国内支持的证据。描述了将这一计划的影响扩展到整个秘鲁和智利，并最终在整个拉丁美洲(特别是在南锥体和安第斯国家)实现更广泛影响的计划。表演网站========================================Section End===========================================

BB Principal Investigator/Program Director Frumkin, Howard DESCRIPTION. State the application's broad, long-term objectives and specific aims, making reference to the health relatedness of the project. Describe concisely the research design and methods for achieving these goals. Avoid summaries of past accomplishments and the use of the first person. This description is meant to serve as a succinct and accurate description of the proposed work when separated from the application. If the application is funded, this description as is will become public information. There, do not include proprietary/confidential information. DO NOT EXEED THE SPACE PROVDED. This application seeks support for international training and research in Environmental and Occupational Health, as a partnership between a U.S. university (Emory) and prominent universities in Chile (the University of Chile) and Peru (Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia). Peru and Chile are South American countries with different levels of development, but with a range of serious, largely shared, environmental health problems, including air pollution, water pollution, effects of high altitudes, mine wastes, heavy metals, and others. Three stages of training are described: formal academic training, Bridge Fellowships, and in-country research. The formal academic training will be provided at Mexico's National Institute of Public Health/School of Public Health of Mexico, a leading Latin American institution and one with previous Fogarty support. This plan has several advantages: high quality training, training in Spanish, the concept of "South to South" training, low cost, and leveraging prior Fogarty support. Bridge Fellowships, an innovative part of this application, are four-to six- month fellowships at Emory, during which trainees will develop their research protocols under close faculty guidance, acquire specific additional skills they need, form collaborative relationships with U.S. colleagues, and pursue funding opportunities. The Bridge Fellowships will function as mini-sabbaticals to nurture research protocols, utilizing Emory's excellent opportunities as a public health research incubator. Finally, trainees will return to Chile and Peru to undertake in-countryresearch; this program will make available small grants to support them. Close follow-up and collaboration will be provided during this phase. While some trainees will undertake all three phases of training, others will have completed academic training already, and will require only the latter two phases. Evidence of strong in-country support is presented. Plans for extending the impact of this program throughout Peru and Chile, and eventually for achieving a broader impact throughout Latin America (especially in the Southern Cone and Andean countries) are described.
