Global Infectious Diseases Research Training Program

这是D43全球传染病(GID)研究培训计划的续签申请 布法罗大学(UB)/纽约州立大学(SUNY)，北部州立医科大学(USDU/SUNY)和 西印度群岛大学莫纳校区(牙买加金斯敦)，与牙买加 卫生部。D43 GID更新的科学焦点将是新出现的主要地方病或危及生命的疾病 病毒传染病和慢性病毒感染，包括重视虫媒病毒和媒介研究， 新冠肺炎、慢性病毒感染和抗病毒药物开发。这是基于对 建设研究队伍，以解决这些领域的问题，同时认识到新冠肺炎的持续影响。这个 最初的GID计划的重点是在西弗吉尼亚大学莫纳校区为博士前和博士前学生建立一个新的倡议 对病毒学研究感兴趣的博士后候选人。GID计划非常成功，因为 以成果衡量标准衡量，包括招聘、培训目标实现情况和科学传播情况。这个 GID招募了10名杰出的科学家，其中70%是女性。之前的GID计划建立了一项研究 培训指标(RTM)，评分为1-10，包括负责任地进行研究培训等标准， 外部研讨会、学位必修课程、研究提案/方案、IRB/道德合规、a研究 项目计划、项目预算和科学写作。70%的受训者RTM得分为9-10。 GID受训人员撰写了11份手稿。更新的GID将培训10名新的独立研究人员(5 博士后，博士后5人)，拥有以下一个或多个领域的专业知识：植物病毒学、病毒性肝炎、 慢性病毒感染、抗病毒药物开发、生物信息学、组学和流行病学。我们经验丰富的 GID导师将得到新的教师导师的补充，他们将提供创新的实验室研究 媒介生物学、灵长类动物研究、组学、分子诊断学、流式细胞术和质量学领域的机遇 基于每个学员的个性化发展计划(IDP)的定制课程 实现个性化的病毒学研究技能工具箱。学员将完成短期的有指导的培训 在美国的实验室里，由在病毒学、免疫学、组学方面有丰富经验的教师指导 和药理学研究。GID续期将继续应对重要的公共卫生挑战 与传染病有关，并在牙买加最初的GID研究培训方案成功的基础上再接再厉。

This is a renewal application for a D43 Global Infectious Diseases (GID) Research Training Program from the University at Buffalo (UB)/State University of New York (SUNY), Upstate Medical University (Upstate/SUNY) and The University of the West Indies (UWI) Mona Campus (Kingston, Jamaica), in collaboration with the Jamaica Ministry of Health. The scientific focus for the D43 GID renewal will be major endemic or life threatening emerging viral infectious diseases and chronic viral infections including an emphasis on arbovirus and vector research, COVID-19, chronic viral infection and antiviral drug development. This is based on the continued need for building the research workforce to address these areas while recognizing the ongoing impact of COVID-19. The initial GID program was focused on establishing a new initiative at The UWI Mona Campus for pre-doctoral and post-doctoral candidates with an interest in virology research. The GID program was highly successful as measured by outcome metrics including recruitment, training goals achieved and scientific dissemination. The GID recruited ten outstanding scientists of whom 70% are women. The prior GID program established a research training metric (RTM) that was scored 1-10 and included criteria such as responsible conduct of research training, external seminars, degree-required courses, research proposal/protocol, IRB/ethics compliance, a research project plan, project budget, and scientific writing. An RTM score of 9-10 was achieved by 70% of the trainees. The GID trainees contributed to 11 manuscripts. The renewal GID will train 10 new independent researchers (5 pre-doctoral, 5 post-doctoral) with expertise in one or more of the following areas: arbovirology, viral hepatitis, chronic viral infection, antiviral drug development, bioinformatics, omics, and epidemiology. Our experienced GID mentors will be complemented by new faculty mentors who will provide innovative laboratory research opportunities in vector biology, primate research, omics, molecular diagnostics, flow cytometry and mass spectrometry with a customized curriculum based on each trainee’s Individualized Development Plan (IDP) to achieve a personalized Virology Research Skills Toolbox. Trainees will complete short-term, mentored training in US-based laboratories directed by faculty mentors with extensive experience in virology, immunology, omics and pharmacology research. The GID renewal will continue to address the important public health challenges related to infectious diseases and build on the successes of the initial GID research training program in Jamaica.
