Framework for Global Health Training in the Americas (planning grant)

描述（申请人提供）：全球化进程大大增加了世界各国之间的经济、政治和社会相互依存，这反过来又对健康产生了深远的影响。必须利用一个可在发展中国家和发达国家适用的跨学科、跨部门的伦理框架来处理全球卫生问题，以产生新的知识，这些知识可转化为旨在改善世界人口健康的可衡量的具体行动。通过这项规划补助金获得的资金将用于开展必要的基础工作，以创建和实施一个合作的跨学科计划，利用INSP教师，我们的合作机构和其他合作机构在全球化和健康关键领域的研究和教学。 我们努力的基础是相信，只有通过跨学科和多学科的办法，才能有效地处理和解决全球化社会中的公共卫生问题。我们的努力将集中在三个具体目标：在INSP内创建一个资源库，以支持和告知创建全球健康课程的过程，以增加关于这一主题的技能基础。 通过与墨西哥学术机构在健康，社会和行为研究以及经济，政策和法律研究方面的合作，为全面，跨学科的全球健康培训计划的发展奠定基础。 为了提高认识，促进跨学科研究全球卫生问题在INSP这将有利于研究和教学活动在墨西哥和整个美洲的整合，创造跨学科和学校促进全球卫生计划的协同作用。INSP教授-研究人员工作组在全球卫生问题合格专家咨询委员会的指导下，将为全面、多学科的全球卫生课程奠定基础，并预计将产生美洲全球卫生研究框架提案。该方案将加强能力，并将个人努力纳入墨西哥的协同方案，以应对全球卫生问题。这些努力的结果将是一个高素质的全球卫生培训计划的专业人员，这将使他们准备分析，解决和应对公共卫生的挑战和发展中国家的需求-特别是那些在美洲-在日益全球化和相互关联的世界的背景下。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The process of globalization has greatly increased economic, political and social interdependence among countries of the world, which in turn has had a profound effect on health. Global Health must be addressed using an ethical interdisciplinary, intersectoral framework, which can be applied in developing and developed nations, to generate new knowledge that can be translated into measurable, concrete actions aimed at improving the health of the world's population. Funds obtained through this planning grant will be employed to carry out the necessary groundwork to create and implement a collaborative, inter-disciplinary program, capitalizing on the research and teaching in crucial areas on globalization and health undertaken by INSP faculty, by our partner institutions and by other collaborating institutions. Underlying our efforts is the belief that only through an inter- and multi-disciplinary approach can public health issues in a globalized society be effectively approached and resolved. Our efforts will be centered on three specific aims: To create a resource-base within the INSP to support and inform the process of creating a global health curriculum to increase the skill base on this topic. To lay the foundation for the development of a comprehensive, interdisciplinary Global Health training program through partnerships with Mexican academic institutions in the health, social and behavioral studies as well as economic, policy and law studies. To raise awareness and foster interdisciplinary research on Global Health issues at the INSP which will facilitate the integration of research and teaching activities within Mexico and throughout the Americas, creating synergies across disciplines and schools promoting the Global Health programs. A Working Group of INSP professor-researchers, with the guidance of an Advisory Board of qualified experts in Global Health issues will lay the foundation for a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary global health curriculum with the projected en product of a proposal for a Framework for Global Health Studies in the Americas. The program will strengthen capacity and integrate individual efforts into a synergistic program in Mexico to respond to global health concerns. The outcome of these efforts will be a high caliber Global Health training program for professionals which will prepare them to analyze, address and respond to the public health challenges and needs of developing countries -particularly those in the Americas-in the context of an increasingly globalized and interconnected world.
