SHARE India University Pittsburgh Population and Intervention Research Training

印度正面临着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 主要是在国外获得的。健康研究的通常引擎，公共卫生学校，以及 在印度，医学院校缺乏强大的研究文化。 我们提出的培训计划是从大学之间的积极合作发展而来的。 匹兹堡和SHARE印度/MediCiti医学科学研究所（MIMS）位于Ghanpur村， 印度安得拉邦海得拉巴的北方郊区。分享印度/MIMS，一所医学院， 教学医院和研究所为农村人口，主要是农业人口服务。SHARE印度 研究所建立了一个研究基础设施，包括人口普查、家庭结构、 和GPS定位的地理定义的人口47,000居民。预计这一人口 受到城市化的侵蚀，并朝着非传染性疾病的高风险发展， 在接下来的十年里。中风已经是一个巨大的负担。整个生命周期的大型队列研究 正在与匹兹堡大学合作进行。 一些MIMS建立教师临床医生和医学生正在从事 人口研究，但由于缺乏研究技能而受到阻碍。我们的目标是建立一个可持续的 研究文化的多层次的培训计划，主要是在印度，但雇用了相当多的 匹兹堡大学队列和干预研究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 研究部（研究管理），伦理委员会主席 2.长期培训导致公共卫生博士学位，以支持研究主任的职位， 领导研究计划，并领导研究方法教学计划的制定 3.为一名教师提供长期培训，以获得生物统计学和数据研究生文凭 提供研究合作和教学能力的管理 4.为四名中级教员提供长期培训，提供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;以及指导医科学生进行研究 5.为6名研究人员提供流行病学、生物统计学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，以刺激研究兴趣的增长。 SHARE INDIA/MIMS的长期研究目标是以人口为基础的实施， 预防或减少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.
