Injury Control and Trauma Response

描述(申请人提供)：作为世界上导致死亡和残疾的主要原因之一，人类创伤和伤害对所有国家的儿童和年轻人都造成了不成比例的影响。机动车碰撞造成的伤害是这种社会损害的一个主要例子。根据世界卫生组织的数据，全球道路交通事故每年使2000至5000万人致残，120万人死亡。大多数受影响的人是年轻人，特别是男性。作为我们之前在查尔斯MCC进行的伤害预防研究工作的延续。小马蒂亚斯在国家创伤和紧急医疗服务研究中心(NSC)和R Adams Cowley冲击创伤中心(Shock Trauma)的创伤复苏方面，这项国家研究服务奖(NRSA)机构研究培训赠款的目标是创建一个正式的项目，拥有医学博士或博士学位的个人可以培训成为伤害控制和创伤反应研究的独立研究人员。 该培训计划旨在使学员能够：(1)掌握流行病学和生物统计学的核心课程；(2)掌握创伤和伤害预防的基本生物学和心理社会方面的知识；(3)成为至少一个与伤害控制和创伤应对相关的实质性领域的专家；(4)学会在具有伤害预防和控制方面专业知识的初级导师的监督下为研究团队做出贡献；以及(5)展示进行独立、原创研究的能力。 考虑到马里兰大学的专业知识深度，我们有一个理想的环境来合作这些教育努力。马里兰大学巴尔的摩分校的国际公认的伤害控制研究和创伤复苏实践与我们在流行病学和生物统计学方面的优秀教学计划相结合，为伤害预防和伤害控制研究培训计划的发展提供了一个出色的框架。拟议的项目将提供培训，使新的研究人员能够进行高质量的伤害控制和创伤应对研究，以帮助减少每年数以万计的创伤伤亡造成的破坏性影响。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): As one of the leading causes of death and disability in the world, human trauma and injury disproportionately affects children and young individuals in all countries. Injuries from motor vehicle collisions are a prime example of this damage to societies. According to the World Health Organization, road traffic accidents worldwide disable between 20 and 50 million individuals and kill 1.2 million people per year. The majority of individuals affected are young adults, especially men. As a continuation of our previous work in injury prevention research at the Charles McC. Mathias, Jr. National Study Center for Trauma and Emergency Medical Services (NSC) and in trauma resuscitation at R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center (Shock Trauma), the goal of this National Research Service Award (NRSA) institutional research training grant is to create a formal program wherein individuals with an M.D. or a Ph.D. degree can train to be independent investigators in injury control and trauma response research. This training program is designed to enable trainees to: (1) master a core curriculum in epidemiology and biostatistics; (2) become knowledgeable about the basic biological and psychosocial aspects of trauma and injury prevention; (3) become an expert in at least one substantive area relevant to injury control and trauma response; (4) learn to contribute to a research team under the supervision of a primary mentor with expertise in an aspect of injury prevention and control; and (5) demonstrate the capacity to conduct independent, original research. Considering the depth of expertise available at the University of Maryland, we have an ideal environment to collaborate on these educational efforts. The combination of University of Maryland at Baltimore's internationally recognized injury control research and trauma resuscitation practices in conjunction with our excellent didactic program in epidemiology and biostatistics provides an outstanding framework for the development of an injury prevention and injury control research training program. The proposed project will provide the training to enable new researchers to conduct high quality injury control and trauma response research that can help to reduce the devastating impact caused by tens of thousands of annual traumatic injuries and deaths.
