MU-JHU Research Collaboration Office of Research Development Training Program

鉴于Makerere大学医学院已经发展成为非洲的研究中心 通过国际合作伙伴(包括美国国立卫生研究院)获得的资金支持，a 在这样一个资源有限的环境中，关键的差距仍然是缺乏训练有素的赠款经理和临床 能够巧妙地利用可用的资金机会以维持这些研究的研究人员 长期的活动。这项提案的总体愿景是创造一批训练有素的临界人群 医学院内的专业人员，能够迅速响应日益增长的研究需求 通过开发医学院内部的潜在协同效应来申请和管理赠款。 建立在医学院内部协作、高度成功和分散的系统基础上，我们 建议将Makerere大学的Ord办公室-约翰霍普金斯大学研究 合作(MU-JHU)，医学院的主要附属机构之一，成立ORD秘书处 和模特。Mu-JHU将在医学院的全力支持下，在这项申请中发挥带头作用 其他附属公司。该秘书处将发展成为知识渊博的赠款管理人员的核心团队， 培训员和支持人员，他们将管理MU-JHU赠款，并培训其他订单并复制 医学院内部附属机构的模式，即传染病研究所， Makerere大学-Case Western Reserve大学研究合作，联合临床研究 中心和医学院秩序。 提案中的主要活动以工作人员培训和能力建设为基础。使用缩写和 这项建议旨在：a)加强医学院内部的能力 通过提高赠款管理技能，从而在申请和管理方面实现自给自足 管理NIH赠款，b)创建赠款资源中心中心，提供赠款材料、培训 为医疗机构附属机构的其他几个赠款办公室提供工具和其他赠款支持服务 学校，c)在核心Ord办公室设计适当的IT基础设施，可用作以下方面的焦点 获取和传播NIH的信息将授权给其他ORD。D)设计适当的财务和 会计IT系统可以方便地管理NIH奖金、生成收据 或财务报表，并处理必要的财务和合规报告。

Whereas the Makerere University Medical School has grown as a hub of Research in Africa by utilising funding support obtained through International patners (including The National Institutesof Health - NIH), a critical gap in such a resource - limited setting remains the lack of well trained Grant managers and Clinical researchers who can ably tap into the available funding opportunities in order to sustain these research activities in the long term. The overall vision of this proposal is to create a critical mass of well- trained professionals within the Medical School who would be able to swiftly respond to the growing research needs by exploiting the potential synergies within the Medical School for grant applications and management. Building on a collaborative, highly successful and decentralized system within the medical School, we propose to turn the ORD office at The Makerere University - Johns Hopkins University Research Collaboration (MU-JHU), one of the main affiliate institutions of the Medical School, into an ORD Secretariat and model. MU-JHU will take the lead on this application with the full support of the Medical School and the other affiliates. This secretariat will be developed into a core team of highly knowledgeable grant managers, trainers and support staff who will manage MU-JHU grants as well as train the other ORDs and replicate the model in the affiliate institutions from within the Medical School namely; the Infectious Diseases Institute, Makerere University - Case Western Reserve University Research Collaboration, the Joint Clinical Research Centre and the Medical School ORD. The major activities in the proposal are based on staff training and capacity building. Using the short and long term approaches of training, this proposal aims to; a) Strengthen capabilities within the Medical School through increased grants management skills thereby creating self sufficiency in application and administration of NIH grants, b) Create a Grant Resource Center hub providing grants materials, training tools, and other grant support services for several other grant offices of Institutions affiliated to the Medical School, c) Design an appropriate IT infrastructure at the core ORD office that can be used as a focal point for accessing and dissemination of NIH grants information to other ORDs. d) Design an appropiate finance and accounting IT system accross the ORDs that can facilitate managent of NIH awards, generation of receipts or financial statements in a consistent manner, and handling the requisite financial and compliance reports.
