SHARE India University Pittsburgh Population and Intervention Research Training

印度正面临非传染性疾病的流行，特别是糖尿病、心血管疾病 疾病和中风。对公共卫生研究人员的需求至关重要。卫生研究培训有 主要从国外获得。健康研究的常见引擎，公共卫生学院，以及 在印度，医学院缺乏强大的研究文化。 我们建议的培训计划是从加州大学与华盛顿大学之间的积极合作演变而来的 匹兹堡和Share印度/美第奇提医学科学研究所(MIMS)位于甘普尔村 印度安德拉邦海得拉巴的北郊。共享印度/MIMS医学院， 教学医院和研究所为农村人口服务，主要是农业人口。分享印度 研究所建立了包括人口普查、家庭结构、 以及地理上定义的4.7万居民的GPS定位。这一人口预计 遭受不断侵蚀的城市化，并朝着非传染性疾病的高风险发展 在接下来的十年里。中风已经是一个沉重的负担。跨越生命周期的大型队列研究 正在与匹兹堡大学合作进行。 许多MIMS的资深教员、临床医生和医学生正在从事 人口研究，但因缺乏研究技能而受阻。我们的目标是建设一个可持续发展的 通过一个主要设在印度的多层次培训计划研究文化，但雇用了相当多的 匹兹堡大学在队列和干预研究方面的培训和指导方面的专业知识： 1.短期培训，以支持两个高级行政职位，一个新设立的办公室主任 研究(研究管理)，道德委员会主席 2.获得公共卫生博士学位的长期培训，以支持研究主任的职位，以 领导研究项目，并在研究方法方面领导教学项目的发展 3.对一名教员进行长期培训，最终获得生物统计和数据研究生文凭 提供研究协作和教学能力的管理 4.长期培训四名中级教员、侧重于流行病学的博士后研究金、 生物统计学和写作技能，以便能够：设计和进行独立研究； 成功争取研究经费，并指导医科学生进行研究 5.对6名研究人员进行流行病学、生物统计和数据管理方面的短期培训。 6.每年为期一周的研究方法短期课程，以促进研究兴趣的增长。 Share India/MIMS长期研究目标是以人口为基础的实施和 预防或减轻非传染性疾病负担的干预研究。

India is facing epidemics of non-communicable diseases, particularly diabetes, cardiovascular disease and stroke. The need for public health researchers is critical. Health research training has primarily been obtained abroad. The usual engines for health research, schools of public health, and a strong research culture in medical schools, have been absent in India. Our proposed training program evolves from a vigorous collaboration between the University of Pittsburgh and SHARE India/MediCiti Institute of Medical Sciences (MIMS) located in Ghanpur Village on the northern outskirts of Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India. SHARE India/MIMS, a medical school, teaching hospital, and research institute, serves a rural, primarily agrarian population. SHARE India Research Institute has established a research infrastructure which includes census, household structure, and GPS location for a geographically defined population of 47,000 residents. This population is expected to be subjected to encroaching urbanism, and to progress toward high risk for non-communicable diseases during the next decade. Stroke is already a significant burden. Large cohort studies across the life-span are underway in collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh. A number of MIMS established faculty clinicians and medical students are becoming engaged in population research but are hampered by lack of research skills. Our objectives are to build a sustainable research culture by a multi-layer training program based primarily in India, but employing the considerable expertise in training and mentoring in cohort and intervention studies at the University of Pittsburgh: 1. Short term training to support two senior administrative positions, Director of a newly established Office of Research (research administration), Chair of the Ethics Committee 2. Long term training leading to a PhD in Public Health to support a position of Director of Research to lead the research program and to lead the development of a teaching program in research methods 3. Long term training for one faculty leading to a post graduate diploma in biostatistics and data management to provide research collaboration and teaching capability 4. Long term training for four mid-level faculty, post-doctoral fellowships focused on epidemiology, biostatistics, and writing skills in order to be able to: design and conduct independent research; compete successfully for research funding; and to mentor medical students in conducting research 5. Short term training in epidemiology, biostatistics and data management for six research staff members. 6. Annual week-long short course in research methods to spur the growth of interest in research. The long term research goals of SHARE INDIA/MIMS are population-based implementation and intervention studies to prevent or reduce the burden of non-communicable diseases.
