UAB-AKU ITREOH

超出所提供的空间。 巴基斯坦是世界上第六大人口大国，面临着严峻的环境和职业问题，如水、空气和噪音污染、农药使用量增加、重金属中毒、废物处理不当以及一系列其他家庭、工作场所和环境危害。虽然人们对解决这些问题产生了兴趣，但迄今为止采取的主动行动相对较少，在环境和职业健康领域几乎没有进行系统的研究。巴基斯坦没有专门为培养应对这些挑战所需的专业人员而设计的大学培训计划。这项建议是亚拉巴马伯明翰大学（UAB）和巴基斯坦卡拉奇的阿加汗大学（AKU）之间的合作努力。该计划将有效地建立在UAB Fogarty艾滋病国际培训和研究计划的成功UAB-AKU关系，以及新授予的国际妇幼保健研究和培训计划和UAB- AKU全球妇幼保健网络研究单位。拟议的环境和职业健康国际培训和研究计划（ITREOH）的目的是通过合作研究和培训，加强和维持巴基斯坦科学家进行环境和职业健康研究的能力。拟议的培训计划是多学科的，包括流行病学，生物统计学，环境卫生，职业卫生，工业卫生，毒理学，健康行为，卫生政策和经济学，适用于病原学研究，疾病和环境监测以及环境和职业卫生干预研究。预期的结果将是在AKU的环境和职业健康研究的卓越中心，这将有助于在这些领域的国家和区域能力。培训部分将包括在巴基斯坦进行的短期培训，其中包括基于原则和问题的短期课程;在巴基斯坦进行的中级培训，将为试点研究提供指导和资金，并且还将在现有的研究生和专业范围内提供新的选择AKU培训计划;长期培训将在UAB提供更专业、更长期的硕士和博士水平的教育机会。UAB和AKU之间的一个基于网络的远程学习计划也将联合开发。该培训计划将促进在AKU-UAB机构内开展新的环境和职业健康研究，并促进巴基斯坦和美国培训人员和学员之间的长期合作关系。发展AKU的独立能力，提供区域领导人的培训和研究应该是Fogarty和NICHD资源的一个很好的长期投资。性能现场=

EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED. Pakistan, the sixth most populous country in the world, has challenging environmental and occupational issues such as water, air and noise pollution, increasing pesticide use,heavy metal poisoning, inadequate waste disposal and a range of other domestic, workplace and environmental hazards. Although interest has emerged in resolving these issues, relatively few initiatives have so far been taken, and there has been almost no systematic research in the area of environmental and occupational health. There are no university based training programs in Pakistan that are specifically designed to develop the necessary professionals to take on these challenges. This proposal is a collaborative effort between University of Alabama Birmingham (UAB) and the Aga Khan University (AKU) of Karachi, Pakistan. The program willbuild efficiently on the successful UAB-AKU relationship of the UAB Fogarty AIDS International Training and Research Program and the newly awarded International Maternal and Child Health Research and Training program and theUAB- AKU Global Network Research Unit for maternal and child health. The purpose of the proposedprogram ininternational training and research in environmental and occupational health (ITREOH) is to strengthen and sustain, through collaborative research and training, the capability of Pakistani scientists to conduct environmental and occupational health research. The proposed training program is multidisciplinary and includes epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health, occupational health, industrial hygiene, toxicology, health behavior, health policy and economics as applied to etiologic research, disease and environmental surveillance and intervention research in environmental and occupational health. The expected result will be a center of excellence in environmental and occupational health research at AKU, which will contribute to national and regional capacity in these fields. Training components will include short-term training in Pakistan that will consist of principle- and problem-based short courses; intermediate training in Pakistan that will provide mentorship and funds for pilot research, and that will also provide for new options within existing graduate and specialty training programs at AKU;long-term training that will provide more specialized and longer term educational opportunities at UAB at masters and doctoral levels. A web-based distance-learningprogram between UAB and AKU also will be developed jointly. The training program will promote the initiation of new environmental and occupational health research within the AKU-UAB institutions and facilitate long-term collaborative relationships between Pakistani and US investigatorsand trainees. DevelopingAKU's independent capacityto provideregionalleadershipin trainingand research should be an excellent long-term investment of Fogarty and NICHD resources.
