International Research Training Program

超出提供的空间。这是一份为期5年的Fogarty国际职业与环境健康培训与研究项目的竞争续签申请，该项目位于德克萨斯州休斯敦的德克萨斯大学公共卫生学院西南职业与环境健康中心(SWCOEH)。SWCOEH包括休斯顿大学工程学院的一个项目组成部分。该计划于1995年首次获得批准并获得资助，旨在解决拉丁美洲职业健康方面训练有素的专业人员和研究人员的严重短缺问题。该计划的目标是通过有效应对工作场所和社区暴露的不利健康影响的学术培训和研究计划，培训职业和环境健康方面的外国科学家和专业人员，发展职业和环境健康方面训练有素的专业人员的国际网络，合作开展旨在识别和控制暴露及其相关健康影响的研究计划，并在合作国家制定职业和环境健康的国家和国际预防计划。培训活动与四个拉丁美洲国家的公共和私营机构合作进行：哥伦比亚、哥斯达黎加、墨西哥和委内瑞拉。在前5年取得成功的基础上，我们建议在2001-2006年期间通过以下四项计划活动提供培训和研究支持：1)在美国UTSPH和UH进行长期的学术和研究准备，获得职业和环境流行病学、环境科学(工业卫生或毒理学)、人体工程学和安全方面的硕士或博士学位；2)基于项目的研究培训和公共卫生实践，包括扩大正在进行的干预研究活动，并开发新的竞争性试点项目研究培训计划，强调合作研究、合理的研究设计、科学审查、建设性批评和负责任的研究开展；3)在合作国家为职业和环境健康方面的研究人员、专业人员和技术人员举办有针对性的短期课程和讲习班；以及4)通过支持向西班牙语国家广泛传播职业健康方面的科学知识，发展机构研究基础设施，并为拉丁美洲建立一个区域卓越研究中心。表演网站========================================Section End===========================================

EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED. This is a 5-year competing renewal application for the Fogarty International Training and Research Program in Occupational and Environmental Health, located in the Southwest Center for Occupational and Environmental Health (SWCOEH) at the University of Texas School of Public Health (UTSPH) in Houston, Texas. The SWCOEH includes a program component at the University of Houston (UH) College of Engineering. This program, first approved and funded in 1995, addresses a critical shortage of trained professionals and research in occupational health in Latin America. The goals of this program are to train foreign scientists and professionals in occupational and environmental health through an academic training and research program to deal effectively with the adverse health effects of exposures in the workplace and the community, to develop an international network of trained professionals in occupational and environmental health to collaborate in research programs aimed at the identification and control of exposures and their associated health effects, and to develop national and international prevention programs in occupational and environmental health in collaborating countries. Training activities are conducted in collaboration with public and private institutions in four Latin American countries: Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico and Venezuela. Building on the successes of the first 5 years, we propose to provide training and research support through the following four program activities in the 2001-2006 period: 1 ) long-term academic and research preparation in the United States at the UTSPH and UH, leading to a masters or doctoral degree in occupational and environmental epidemiology, environmental sciences (industrial hygiene or toxicology), ergonomics and safety; 2) project- based research training and public health practice, including expanding ongoing intervention research activities and developing a new competitive pilot projects research training program that emphasizes collaborative research, sound study design, scientific review, constructive critique and the responsible conduct of research; 3) targeted short courses and workshops in collaborating countries for researchers, professionals and technicians in occupational and environmental health; and 4) institutional research infrastructure development through support of the widespread dissemination of scientific in occupational health to Spanish-speaking countries and the creation of a regional center of research excellence for Latin America.
