Neurotrauma Research Training in Latin America

神经创伤研究小组（NTRG）是一个由来自俄勒冈州的研究人员和项目合作的组织 健康与科学大学（OHSU -波特兰，俄勒冈州），华盛顿大学（西雅图，华盛顿）， 和罗萨里奥大学（阿根廷罗萨里奥）。NTRG的长期目标是改善治疗 和结果的人谁持续创伤性脑损伤（TBI），通过研究，教育， 制定和传播循证指南。通过多种资金来源，NTRG 在美国和拉丁美洲开展脑创伤研究和教育项目。 与国际合作创伤和伤害研究培训计划（ICTIRT），NTRG 建议利用OHSU和华盛顿大学的研究和教育资源， 拉丁美洲脑创伤研究的研究人员，并建立一个创伤研究的课程， 阿根廷的罗萨里奥大学。该方案将包括三个组成部分： 1.长期训练。博士后候选人将完成临床研究硕士课程 (MCR)在OHSU，核心课程旨在培养独立的临床研究人员， 专注于创伤和伤害。 2.指导研究。在参加MCR的同时，博士后候选人将参加 在积极的神经创伤研究在港景医院，一级创伤中心，并在各部门 华盛顿大学神经外科和康复医学。 3.短期课程。七个短期课程模块，旨在教育本科生和研究生 学生，公共卫生和研究管理人员，以及医疗技术领域的专职人员， 创伤研究，将由罗萨里奥大学的OHSU教授。谁的学生顺利 完成所有七个模块将参加指导实习经验，并获得证书， 创伤研究。 通过这个项目，我们将培养阿根廷脑创伤研究的未来领导者。我们将 在罗萨里奥大学为正在进行的创伤研究建立可持续的能力，并创建一个原型 在拉丁美洲的类似项目。

The Neurotrauma Research Group (NTRG) is a collaboration of investigators and programs from Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU - Portland, Oregon), University of Washington (Seattle, Washington), and University of Rosario (Rosario, Argentina). The long-term objective of the NTRG is to improve treatment and outcomes for people who sustain traumatic brain injury (TBI), through research, education, and the development and dissemination of evidence-based guidelines. Through multiple funding sources, the NTRG conducts brain trauma research and educational programs in the United States and Latin America. With the International Collaborative Trauma and Injury Research Training program (ICTIRT), the NTRG proposes to use the research and educational resources of OHSU and University of Washington to train Latin American investigators in brain trauma research, and to establish a curriculum of trauma research at University of Rosario in Argentina. The program will involve three components: 1. Long-term training. Post-doctoral candidates will complete the Master of Clinical Research program (MCR) at OHSU, with core curriculum designed to produce independent clinical researchers, and electives focused on trauma and injury. 2. Mentored research. Concurrent with participating in the MCR, the post-doctoral candidates will take part in active neurotrauma research at Harborview Hospital, a Level I trauma center, and in the Departments of Neurological Surgery and Rehabiltation Medicine at University of Washington. 3. Short course curriculum. Seven short course modules, designed to educate undergraduate and gradute students, public health and research administrators, and allied health professionals in the technology of trauma research, will be taught by faculty from OHSU at University of Rosario. Students who successfully complete all seven modules will participate in a mentored practicum experience and receive a Certificate in Trauma Research. Through this program we will train the future leaders in brain trauma research in Argentina. We will establish sustainable capacity for ongoing trauma research at University of Rosario, and create a prototype for similar programs throughout Latin America.
