Training in the biology of malaria vectors in Mali

描述（由申请人提供）：在过去的10年里，隶属于加州大学戴维斯分校媒介传播疾病中心的科学家一直在为来自非洲和拉丁美洲国家的科学家提供培训机会。巴马科大学的疟疾研究和培训中心也具有丰富的培训经验，被广泛认为是非洲疟疾研究和疟疾病媒研究和控制培训的卓越中心。私家侦探自1991年以来一直与MRTC合作。我们建议建立在这种多样化和广泛的培训经验，制定一个正式的疟疾研究培训计划，与MRTC密切合作，在一个正在进行的研究项目的背景下，由资助编号-AI-40308从NIAID，资助到2007年5月。该项目有大量的实地组成部分，将提供人口遗传学、细胞遗传学、生态学、生物统计学和分子生物学方面的培训。培训将在美国和马里进行。培训教师和设施将来自加州大学戴维斯分校和MRTC以及合作实验室和机构。 培训将由：l）Gregory C.兰扎罗人口遗传学2)Anton Cornel-杀虫剂抗性和3）Shirley Luckhart-vector-疟原虫相互作用。培训将提供给：l）正在完成或最近完成硕士或博士学位的MRTC初级研究人员。巴马科大学医学、药学和牙科学院的博士学位，以及2）最近完成博士学位的MRTC博士后研究人员。在美国或欧洲的研究，并试图建立自己的研究计划。第一组将攻读硕士或博士学位。在巴马科大学学习。其中四名学生将在马里和美国培训教师的监督下，每年在马里接受9个月的实践研究培训，每年在美国接受3个月的教学和/或实践研究培训。博士后研究人员将得到直接的研究指导和与美国和马里培训教师的合作的支持，并提供启动资金来购买用品或小型设备或支持实地活动，以生成初步数据，这些数据将构成申请外部赠款的基础。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Scientists affiliated with the Center for Vectorborne Diseases, University of California, Davis have been providing training opportunities for scientists from African and Latin American countries over the past 10 years. The Malaria Research and Training Center (MRTC) at the University of Bamako also has extensive training experience, and is widely recognized as a center of excellence in Africa for malaria research and training in malaria vector research and control. The P.I. on this application has been working with the MRTC since 1991. We propose to build on this diverse and extensive training experience to develop a formal malaria research training program in a close collaboration with the MRTC, in the context of an ongoing research project supported by grant number -AI-40308 from NIAID, funded through May 2007. This project has a substantial field component, and training will be available in population genetics, cytogenetics, ecology, biostatistics, and molecular biology. Training will take place in both in the U.S. and Mali. Training faculty and facilities will be drawn from the UC Davis and MRTC as well as from collaborating laboratories and institutions. Training will be provided by: l) Gregory C. Lanzaro-population genetics! 2) Anton Cornel-insecticide resistance and 3) Shirley Luckhart-vector-Plasmodium interactions. Training will be provided to: l) Junior researchers at MRTC who are completing or have recently completed M.Sc. or Ph.D. degrees at the University of Bamako School of Medicine, Pharmacy and Dentistry,' and 2) MRTC post-doctoral researchers who have recently completed Ph.D. studies in the U.S. or Europe and are attempting to establish their research programs. The first group will enroll in Master's or Ph.D. programs at the University of Bamako. Four of these student trainees will spend 9 months each year receiving hands-on research training in Mali, under the supervision of Malian and U.S. training faculty, and 3 months each year in the U.S. receiving didactic and/or practical research training. The post-doctoral researchers will be supported by direct research mentoring and collaboration with U.S. and Malian training faculty and by provision of start-up funds to purchase supplies or small equipment or support field activities to generate preliminary data that will form the basis for applying for external grant funding.
