International Collaborative Trauma and Injury Research Training

描述（由申请人提供）：伤害是全球死亡和残疾的主要原因之一，特别是在发展中国家。在发展中国家发展可持续的研究能力，促进高质量和与当地有关的研究，是对这一沉重负担作出最佳反应的关键因素。约翰霍普金斯大学（JHU）很高兴与阿迦汗大学（AKU）合作开发国际合作创伤和损伤研究培训计划（ICTIRT），该计划将为阿迦汗大学和巴基斯坦发展这种能力。我们提议的ICTIRT的长期愿景是在AKU建立一个伤害和创伤研究和培训研究所，不仅可以为巴基斯坦服务，也可以为南亚其他地区服务。该提案有五个具体目标：1)制定一项战略计划，在AKU建立一个伤害和创伤研究与培训研究所；2)培养一支损伤与创伤研究专家队伍；3)在伤害预防和控制的原则方面培养足够数量的科学家、卫生专业人员和学者；4)提高巴基斯坦卫生和其他专业人员对伤害和创伤研究重要性的认识；5)促进巴基斯坦境内伤害和创伤研究人员之间的合作，并与国际伤害研究界建立联系。我们在这里提出的JHU-AKU ICTIRT包括长期和短期培训方案。在为期5年的项目期间，将向至少6名个人提供长期培训，使他们获得JHU的公共卫生硕士学位，并完成可发表的研究报告。短期培训方案-将在巴基斯坦进行-包括：(i)关于伤害预防和控制原则的介绍性讲习班；（ii）提供深入、有针对性的损伤研究培训的高级讲习班；（iii）与损伤和创伤研究相关主题的在线课程；（iv）每年一次的研究专题讨论会和(v)由科研所举办的一系列双月研讨会。拟议的培训计划的基础是JHU和AKU之间现有的强有力的合作。此次合作将JHU在公共卫生、伤害预防、EMS/创伤服务和结果研究方面的优势与AKU的培训和能力发展需求结合起来，在伤害和创伤研究领域制定跨学科培训计划。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Injuries are one of the leading causes of global death and disability, especially in developing countries. The development of a sustainable research capacity within developing countries that will foster high quality and locally relevant research is a critical element of an optimal response to this high burden. The Johns Hopkins University (JHU) is pleased to collaborate with the Aga Khan University (AKU) in the development of an International Collaborative Trauma and Injury Research Training Program (ICTIRT) that will develop this capacity for AKU and the country of Pakistan. The long range vision of the ICTIRT we are proposing is to establish an Institute for Injury and Trauma Research and Training at AKU that can serve not only Pakistan but other parts of South Asia as well. This proposal has five specific aims: 1) to develop a strategic plan for establishing an Institute for Injury and Trauma Research and Training at AKU; 2) to train a small nucleus of experts in injury and trauma research; 3) to train a critical mass of scientists, health professionals and academics in the principles of injury prevention and control; 4) to raise awareness among health and other professionals in Pakistan about the importance of injury and trauma research; and 5) to foster collaboration among injury and trauma researchers within Pakistan and establish linkages with the international injury research community. The JHU-AKU ICTIRT we propose here consists of both long and short-term training options. Long-term training will be offered to at least six individuals over the course of the 5-year project period leading to a Master of Public Health degree from JHU and the completion of a publishable research study. Short-term training options - which will take place in Pakistan - include: (i) introductory workshops in the principles of injury prevention and control; (ii) advanced workshops to provide in depth, targeted injury research training; (iii) on-line courses in topics relevant to the study of injury and trauma research; (iv) an annual research symposium and (v) a series of bi-monthly seminars organized by AKU. Underlying the proposed training program is an existing and strong collaboration between the JHU and AKU. The collaboration brings together strengths in public health, injury prevention and EMS/trauma services and outcomes research at JHU with the need for training and capacity development at AKU to develop an inter-disciplinary training program in the field of injury and trauma research.
