Framework Program for Global Health in the Americas

描述（由申请人提供）：墨西哥国家公共卫生研究所（INSP）将与国家和国际机构合作，在全球卫生方面形成一个多学科合作培训方案：美洲全球卫生培训框架。通过这笔赠款获得的资金将用于创建一个多学科合作方案，利用INSP教师与北美和南美的8个学术机构合作，在全球化和卫生的关键领域进行的研究和教学。将加强研究所在全球卫生方面的硕士和博士级培训，并将促进制定处理美洲全球卫生专题的研究项目。我们努力的结果将是培养一批高素质的专业人员，在日益全球化和相互联系的世界背景下，对发展中国家，特别是美洲区域的发展中国家的公共卫生挑战和需求进行分析、处理和应对。这项建议涉及三个重点领域：传染病、烟草和营养，这是当今全球化社会中的关键公共卫生问题，对墨西哥尤其重要。我们努力的基础是这样一种信念，即只有通过跨学科和多学科的方法，才能有效地处理和解决全球公共卫生问题。我们的努力将集中在以下具体目标上：我们努力的基础是这样一种信念，即只有通过跨学科和多学科的方法，才能有效地处理和解决全球化社会中的公共卫生问题。我们的努力将集中在三个具体目标上：1 .在国家卫生政策计划内建立一个资源库，以支持和通知创建全球卫生课程的进程，以增加这一主题的技能基础。2 .与美洲的8个机构合作，在国家卫生学院建立和发展一个全面的、跨学科的全球卫生培训计划。3 .在国家卫生学院提高对全球卫生问题的认识，促进跨学科的教学和研究。公共卫生相关性：全球化进程大大增加了世界各国之间的经济、政治和社会相互依存，这反过来又对健康产生了深远的影响。必须在研究和教学中采用跨学科、跨部门的框架来处理全球卫生问题，这种框架可以应用于低收入、中等收入和高收入国家，以产生新的知识，转化为旨在改善世界人口健康的可衡量的具体行动。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Mexican National Institute of Public Health (INSP) will form a multi-disciplinary collaborative training program in Global Health in collaboration with national and international institutions: the Framework for Global Health Training in the Americas. Funds obtained through this grant will be employed to create a collaborative, multi-disciplinary program, capitalizing on the research and teaching in crucial areas on globalization and health undertaken by INSP faculty, in collaboration with eight academic institutions from North and South America. INSP's masters and doctoral-level training in Global Health will be strengthened and the development of research projects that address topics of global health in the Americas will be fostered. The outcome of our efforts will be a cadre of high caliber professionals trained to analyze, address and respond to the public health challenges and needs of developing countries particularly those in the region of the Americas in the context of an increasingly globalized and interconnected world. This proposal addresses three focal areas: infectious diseases, tobacco and nutrition, which are critical public health issues in today's globalized society, and of particular relevance for Mexico. Underlying our efforts is the belief that only through an inter- and multi-disciplinary approach can public global health issues be effectively approached and resolved. Our efforts will be centered on the following specific aims: Underlying our efforts is the belief that only through an inter- and multi-disciplinary approach can public health issues in a globalized society be effectively approached and resolved. Our efforts will be centered on three specific aims: 1 To create a resource-base within the INSP to support and inform the process of creating a global health curriculum to increase the skill base on this topic. 2 To establish and grow a comprehensive, interdisciplinary Global Health training program at the INSP and in collaboration with eight institutions throughout the Americas. 3 To raise awareness and foster interdisciplinary teaching and research on Global Health issues at the INSP. Public Health Relevance: The process of globalization has greatly increased economic, political and social interdependence among countries of the world, which in turn has had a profound effect on health. Global Health must be addressed using an interdisciplinary, intersectorial framework in research and teaching, which can be applied in low-, middle- and high- income nations, to generate new knowledge that can be translated into measurable, concrete actions aimed at improving the health of the world's population.
