International Collaborative Trauma and Injury Research Training

描述（由申请人提供）：新的约翰霍普金斯-巴基斯坦国际创伤和损伤研究合作培训计划（JHU-Pak ICTIRT）的总体目标是通过可持续能力发展的创新模式加强巴基斯坦创伤和损伤急性护理的研究能力。我们的方法将基于美国和巴基斯坦的三方机构——约翰霍普金斯大学（JHU）、阿迦汗大学（AKU）和开伯尔医科大学（KMU）——的安排，这些机构致力于创伤和损伤研究，在研究方面有经验和专业知识，并有合作工作的历史。我们的模式将侧重于利用美国的专业知识来加强巴基斯坦的机构，促进一个可持续的研究企业，专注于创伤和伤害的急性护理，并使研究证据能够在全国范围内传播，以影响巴基斯坦及其未来的政策和投资。JHU-Pak ICTIRT的具体目标是：具体目标1：在巴基斯坦西北部的开伯尔医科大学（KMU）建立一个专注于创伤和损伤急性护理的核心研究小组。这将允许在巴基斯坦最贫困和最容易受伤的地区之一的公共部门机构发展创伤和伤害研究专业知识。具体目标2：促进围绕巴基斯坦创伤和伤害急性护理的关键国家优先事项的研究。产生相关的国家急症护理研究将是培训计划的一个关键特征，也将用于为国家决策提供信息。具体目标3：在巴基斯坦建立一个关于损伤和创伤急性护理的国家政策论坛。加强巴基斯坦急症护理研究的关键是发展影响政策和将证据转化为行动的能力。具体目标4：在阿迦汗大学（AKU）建立一个东地中海区域卓越研究中心，研究损伤和创伤的急性护理。该中心将以非洲科学研究所的专门知识为基础，向巴基斯坦和东地中海区域的研究人员提供技术援助，我们将寻求世界卫生组织的正式承认。在AKU在第一个ICTRT奖项下开发的创伤和损伤专业知识的基础上，我们正在提出一个创新的JHU-Pak ICTIRT项目，改变巴基斯坦的急性创伤和损伤研究格局。这种变革性的方法意味着我们将从南北模式的技术援助转向由美国推动的国家支持模式；从一般伤害研究方向转变为将创伤和伤害的急性护理作为巴基斯坦主要的卫生保健优先事项；从美国的培训模式转变为巴基斯坦主导的培训模式。我们将利用在AKU开发的专业知识，在世界上最不稳定的地区之一加强创伤和伤害急性护理的研究能力，并为中东和南亚建立一个区域卓越中心。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of the new Johns Hopkins-Pakistan International Collaborative Trauma and Injury Research Training Program (JHU-Pak ICTIRT) is to strengthen research capacity on acute care of trauma and injuries in Pakistan through an innovative model of sustainable capacity development. Our approach will be based on a tri-partite arrangement of institutions in USA and Pakistan - Johns Hopkins University (JHU), Aga Khan University (AKU), and Khyber Medical University (KMU) - with great commitment to trauma and injury research, experience and expertise in research, and history of collaborative work. Our model will focus on using US expertise to strengthen Pakistani institutions, promote a sustainable research enterprise focused on acute care of trauma and injuries, and enable national dissemination of research evidence to influence policy and investments in Pakistan and its future. The specific aims of JHU-Pak ICTIRT are: Specific Aim 1: To develop a core group of researchers focused on acute care of trauma and injuries at Khyber Medical University (KMU) in North-West Pakistan. This will allow for the development of trauma and injury research expertise at a public sector institution in one of the most impoverished and injury prone regions of Pakistan. Specific Aim 2: To promote research around key national priorities for acute care of trauma and injuries in Pakistan. Generation of a relevant national acute care research will be a key feature of the training program and will also be used to inform national decisions. Specific Aim 3: To establish a national policy forum on acute care of injury and trauma in Pakistan (ACT-PAK). Key to strengthening acute care research in Pakistan is developing the capacity to influence policy and translate evidence into actions. Specific Aim 4: To create an Eastern Mediterranean Regional Center of Excellence in research on acute care of injury and trauma at Aga Khan University (AKU). Building on the expertise of AKU, this center will provide technical assistance to researchers in Pakistan and the Eastern Mediterranean Region and we will seek formal recognition by the World Health Organization. Building on the trauma and injury expertise developed at AKU under the first ICTRT award, we are proposing an innovative JHU-Pak ICTIRT program that transforms the acute trauma and injury research landscape in Pakistan. This transformative approach means that we will move from a North- South model of technical assistance to a national enablement model with a US catalyst; from a general injury research orientation to tackling acute care of trauma and injuries as a leading health care priority for Pakistan; and from a US-based training model to a Pakistan-led training model. We will use the expertise developed at AKU to strengthen research capacity in acute care of trauma and injuries in one of the most volatile regions of the world and develop a regional center of excellence for the Middle East and South Asia. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The overall goal of the new Johns Hopkins-Pakistan International Collaborative Trauma and Injury Research Training Program (JHU-Pak ICTIRT) is to strengthen research capacity on acute care of trauma and injuries in Pakistan through an innovative model of sustainable capacity development.
