Ethippian Integrated Malaria Research Training Programs Planning Grant

描述（由申请人提供）：埃塞俄比亚遭受疟疾感染的巨大负担。埃塞俄比亚政府最近扩大了其卫生保健培训方案，并制定了一项15年疟疾战略计划（2000-2015年），以解决这一问题。疟疾联盟与国内其他疟疾利益攸关方一道，与埃塞俄比亚联邦卫生部一道，一直在支持和实施高度综合的疟疾控制规划。需要一支训练有素的埃塞俄比亚国民队伍，他们能够设计和开展疟疾结果研究，为疟疾控制政策和战略提供信息。埃塞俄比亚发生了一些重要事件，增加了这项建议的可行性。联邦卫生部的国家战略计划描述了对埃塞俄比亚疟疾问题的评估，并确定了改善疟疾控制所需的终点。因此，国家计划的目标将构成建立成果研究培训方案的框架。第二，政府加大了对保健专业人员的培训力度。这包括在疟疾高度流行的南部民族、民族和民族地区州建立哈瓦萨大学。哈瓦萨大学及其教职员工将为我们提出的成果研究培训计划和未来的卓越中心提供学术合作伙伴关系。疟疾联盟开展了成果研究，并将与哈瓦萨大学合作，为我们的学生提供专业知识和研究培训机会。美国的学术合作伙伴阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦医学院拥有必要的资源和经验丰富的教师，可以在资源有限的情况下促进研究成果培训。项目负责人Daily博士自2001年以来一直在塞内加尔的福格蒂培训赠款下参与疟疾流行国家科学家的培训，现在将把这一经验应用于埃塞俄比亚的疟疾成果研究培训。这一建议可以将建立一个成功的、可持续的、增强权能的疟疾控制规划所需的所有要素结合在一起，这些规划由埃塞俄比亚的成果研究提供信息。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Ethiopia suffers a tremendous burden from malaria infection. The Ethiopian government has recently expanded their health care training program and has developed a fifteen year Malaria Strategic Plan (2000-2015) to address this problem. The Malaria Consortium along with other in-country malaria stakeholders have been supporting and implementing highly integrated malaria control programs in conjunction with Ethiopian Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH). A trained workforce of Ethiopian nationals who are able to design and carry out malaria outcomes research is required to inform malaria control policies and strategies. A number of important events have transpired in Ethiopia to increase the feasibility of this proposal. The FMOH's National Strategic Plan describes an assessment of the malaria problem in Ethiopia and defines the endpoints needed to improve malaria control. The National Plan goals will thus form the framework to build an outcomes research training program. Secondly, the government has augmented its efforts to increase the training of health care professionals. This includes the establishment of Hawassa University in the Southern Nation, Nationalities, and Peoples (SNNP) Regional State, an area highly endemic for malaria. Hawassa University and its faculty will provide the academic partnership for our proposed outcomes research training program and a future center of excellence. The Malaria Consortium has carried out outcomes research and will provide the expertise and research training opportunities to our students in collaboration with Hawassa University. The U.S. academic partner, Albert Einstein Medical School, has the necessary resources and experienced faculty to facilitate research outcomes training in resource limited settings. The PI, Dr. Daily, has been involved in training of endemic country scientists in malaria under a Fogarty Training Grant in Senegal since 2001 and now will apply this experience to malaria outcomes research training in Ethiopia. This proposal can weave together all the elements needed to build a successful, sustainable, empowering malaria control program informed by outcomes research in Ethiopia. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE:
