University of California Launching Future Leaders in Global Health Research Training Program

针对RFA-TW-21-004，加州大学全球卫生研究所(UCGHI)，包括加州大学旧金山分校 旧金山(UCSF)、加州大学圣地亚哥分校(UCSD)、加州大学洛杉矶分校(UCLA)和加州大学戴维斯分校(UCD)，以及 由中低收入国家(LMIC)的21个合作机构组成的网络建议继续我们的 成功的全球健康联谊会(GLOCAL)。我们的LMIC站点很成熟，在一些地区工作 疾病的最高负担，并将受益于我们的计划的能力建设、导师培训 以及校友的支持。Glocal是唯一一个UC范围的全球健康培训计划，我们的记录表明 我们：1)招聘学科和种族不同的博士后和博士后学员[过去39%的美国学员 5年确定为代表不足的少数群体(URM)]渴望建立跨学科学术 在全球卫生领域从事研究；2)在全球卫生领域提供卓越的跨学科教育和培训 与加州大学参与校区和合作LMIC的教师导师合作的健康 机构；以及3)为每个受训人员提供丰富和持久的指导研究经验，从而促进 全球卫生领域的科学和职业发展。该计划还将长期目标提前到1) 开发跨学科、创新的全球卫生研究和培训模式，旨在确保健康 2)加强加州大学和我们的LMIC合作伙伴之间的全球卫生网络 并招聘领导创新全球卫生研究的教员；以及3)加强可持续和公平的 UC和我们的LMIC合作伙伴之间的协作模式，开发先进的研究能力 地方主导和地方相关的研究。Glocal将从65名T32和13名D43的候选人中招募候选人 程序。GLOCAL的实习生处于不同的职业阶段，但都会得到：1)9个月或12个月的实践经验 与我们的LMIC合作伙伴之一进行现场研究-LMIC研究员将在他们的头2至3个月 该项目在加州大学，并获得证书，在‘进行全球健康研究’；2)一个强大的，跨学科 有指导的研究经验；3)通过现场和在线课程指导全球健康；4)职业 发展，以确保他们实现短期目标并成功过渡到下一个职业生涯 舞台。全球地方领导层和常设委员会确保这些计划组成部分形成一个无缝的、 以评估和持续改进为支撑的综合经验。的优势和创新 计划包括：1)UCGHI下的统一财团，包括全球领先的四个UC 健康2)在加州大学和加州大学洛杉矶分校-查尔斯·德鲁大学合作伙伴关系中招募不同的美国实习生； 3)导师提供跨不同学科的培训(例如医学、护理、牙科、公共卫生、 兽医学、环境和社会科学)和研究方法；以及4)利用共同 四个参与的UC园区(UCGHI、CTSA和CFAR)的资源。UCGHI致力于 支持Glocal的成功，他们承诺共同出资60万美元就是明证。

In response to RFA-TW-21-004, the University of California Global Health Institute (UCGHI), including UC San Francisco (UCSF), UC San Diego (UCSD), UC Los Angeles (UCLA) and UC Davis (UCD), along with a network of 21 collaborating institutions in low- to middle-income countries (LMICs), proposes to continue our successful GloCal Health Fellowship (GloCal). Our LMIC sites are well-established, work in regions with some of the highest burden of disease, and stand to benefit from our program’s capacity building, mentorship training and alumni support. GloCal is the only UC-wide global health training program, and our track record shows that we: 1) Recruit pre- and postdoctoral trainees diverse in discipline and race [39% of U.S. trainees over the past 5 years identify as an underrepresented minority (URM)] who aspire to build interdisciplinary academic research careers in global health; 2) Provide outstanding, interdisciplinary education and training in global health in collaboration with faculty mentors from participating UC campuses and collaborating LMIC institutions; and 3) Provide each trainee with a rich and enduring mentored research experience that fosters scientific and career development in global health. The program also advances long-term objectives to 1) Develop models of interdisciplinary, innovative global health research and training designed to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all; 2) Enhance global health networks between the UC and our LMIC partners and recruit faculty leading innovative global health research; and 3) Strengthen a sustainable and equitable model of collaboration between the UC and our LMIC partners that develops research capacity that advances locally-led and locally-relevant research. GloCal will recruit candidates from a pipeline of 65 T32 and 13 D43 programs. GloCal trainees are at different career stages, but all receive: 1) A 9 or 12-month, hands-on research experience onsite with one of our LMIC partners—LMIC fellows will spend their first 2 to 3 months of the program at UC and earn a certificate in ‘conducting global health research’; 2) A strong, interdisciplinary mentored research experience; 3) Instruction in global health through onsite and online courses; and 4) Career development to ensure that they attain their short-term goals and succeed in transitioning to the next career stage. GloCal leadership and standing committees ensure that these program components form a seamless, integrated experience supported by evaluation and continuous improvement. Strengths and innovations of the program include: 1) A unified consortium under UCGHI that includes four UCs at the leading edge of global health 2) Recruitment of diverse U.S. trainees across UC and the UCLA-Charles Drew University partnership; 3) Mentors offering training across diverse disciplines (e.g., medicine, nursing, dentistry, public health, veterinary science, environmental and social sciences) and in research methods; and 4) Leveraging common resources across the four participating UC campuses (UCGHI, CTSAs and CFARs). UCGHI is committed to supporting the success of GloCal, as evidenced by their pledge of $600,000 in co-funding.
