Global Health Activities in Developing Countries to Combat Non-Communicable Chron

该计划的目的是通过促进临床研究基础设施的发展和研究培训，并通过研究新的或改进的方法，计划和措施来预防或治疗慢性心血管和肺部疾病（CVPD）。计划目标是开发卓越的研究中心（COE）与教师和工作人员能够进行独立和/或合作研究，以及培训未来的慢性CVPD研究人员在博士和博士后水平。该计划预计将刺激临床，流行病学，卫生服务和成果，卫生政策，转化和行为研究。动物研究和/或以动物研究为重点的培训将不通过这一机制得到支持。

The purpose of this program is to combat non-communicable chronic cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases (CVPD), in developing countries, by enabling clinical research infrastructure development and research training and by conducting research on new or improved approaches, programs, and measures to prevent or treat chronic CVPD. Program objectives are to develop research Centers of Excellence (COEs) with faculty and staff capable of conducting independent and/or collaborative research, as well as training future chronic CVPD investigators at the doctoral and postdoctoral levels. This program is expected to stimulate clinical, epidemiologic, health services and outcomes, health policy, translational, and behavioral research. Animal studies and/or training with a focus on animal studies will not be supported through this mechanism.
