Emory-Ethiopia Global Interdisciplinary Partnership

描述（由申请人提供）：与CCDC，CARE，卡特中心和全球健康工作组建立独特的合作伙伴关系，埃默里大学已经是减少发展中国家疾病和促进健康和福祉的全国领先大学之一。在传染病（包括艾滋病毒/艾滋病、结核病和疟疾）方面存在强有力的计划;慢性非传染性疾病（包括糖尿病、肥胖和烟草）;营养不良和微量营养素缺乏症;妇女和儿童健康;全球卫生政策和卫生系统。埃默里-埃塞俄比亚全球跨学科合作伙伴关系旨在建立在埃默里和埃塞俄比亚之间已经很好的合作基础上，将健康科学（医学，公共卫生和护理），人类学系，数学和计算机科学系以及埃默里大学综合信息学中心的三所学校与阿迪斯大学（AAU）合作。来自美国和埃塞俄比亚的受训者将一起培训和工作一年，以便他们能够开始以合作和跨学科的方式处理全球卫生问题。该计划的具体目标是：I.T0将来自埃默里大学传统上与全球健康研究无关的学科（如数学/计算机科学和信息学）的全球健康研究学员带入全球健康研究; 2.通过提供多学科教育和指导研究培训经验，为来自埃默里大学和AAU的学员提供全球健康方面的新培训和职业发展机会; 3.确定关键的战略基础设施需求，使创新的全球健康研究和培训以及埃默里大学和AAU之间的可持续多学科研究合作成为可能; 4.促进全球健康创新研究，整合大学及其合作伙伴的各种学科优势，并考虑将研究成果转化为实践。这种多学科研究培训将在不同学科的受训者中培养一种面对全球卫生问题时的合作和伙伴关系文化。 公共卫生相关性：多学科团队合作和共同努力对于有效应对全球卫生挑战至关重要。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Building on unique partnerships with the CCDC, CARE, the Carter Center, and the Task Force for Global Health, Emory University is already one of the nation's leading universities for reducing disease in the developing world and for promoting health and well being. Strong programs exist in infectious diseases (including HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria); chronic non-communicable diseases (including diabetes, obesity and tobacco); undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies; women and children's health; global health policy and health systems. The Emory-Ethiopia Global Interdisciplinary Partnership seeks to build upon the already excellent collaborations between Emory and Ethiopia bringing together the three schools of the Health Sciences (Medicine, Public Health and Nursing), the Department of Anthropology, the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science and the Center for Comprehensive Informatics at Emory University in partnership with Addis Ababa University (AAU). Trainees from the US and Ethiopia will train and work together for a year so that they can begin to approach global health problems in a collaborative and interdisciplinary way. The specific aims of the proposed program are: I.T0 bring into Global Health research trainees from disciplines that have not traditionally been associated with global health research at Emory such as Mathematics/Computer Sciences and Informatics; 2.To develop new training and career development opportunities in Global Health for trainees from Emory and AAU by providing multidisciplinary educational and mentored research training experience; 3.To identify key strategic infrastructure needs that will enable innovative Global Health research and training as well as sustainable multidisciplinary research collaboration between Emory and AAU; and, 4.To foster innovative research on Global Health that integrates the various disciplinary strengths of the university and its partners and that considers the translation of research findings to practice. This multidisciplinary research training will foster among trainees from diverse disciplines a culture of collaboration and partnership when confronting Global Health problems. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Multidisciplinary teams that collaborate and work together are essential to address effectively global health challenges.
