Biomedical Research Informatics for Global Health Training (BRIGHT) Program

生物医学研究信息学全球健康培训(BLANT)计划是为了建立 巴西中低收入环境的能力。制定了一项所有国家的方案，在 在之前的资助期间，我们开发了一个新的临床信息学证书计划，并支持 新设立的生物信息学博士项目。随着这些以圣保罗为基地的项目的发展，我们计划 将他们的触角伸向城市以外的地方，包括巴西北部地区和莫桑比克的马普托。我们提出了一个 该计划将： (1)培训巴西和莫桑比克未来的科学领袖，使其能够使用基因组工具 科学、生物医学和健康信息学。它将通过专注于生命科学领域来做到这一点 与巴西和莫桑比克特别相关，并对全球卫生有很大影响，例如 艾滋病毒/艾滋病、宫颈癌、结肠癌和乳腺癌。我们将针对应用程序的不同培训需求 信息学研究和基础信息学研究由两个不同的计划进行，这两个计划的持续时间和 重点： (A)为期一年的证书课程旨在满足应聘者对人力资源的即时需求 生物医学和健康信息学(目标类似于正式硕士课程)；以及 (B)五年制博士课程强调以现实世界为动力的基础信息学研究 有问题。 (2)加强巴西、莫桑比克和美国研究人员之间的合作和数据共享。 重点是信息学带来的合作，我们将利用研究的优势 所有参与的教职员工中。巴西和莫桑比克的教职员工和实习生将能够前往国际 会议，以进一步发展他们的合作者网络。美国教职员工将为巴西人讲课并共同提供建议 和莫桑比克学生，共同开发课程，进而获得对问题的欣赏和 巴西、莫桑比克和其他发展中国家的生物医学和卫生信息学问题。 相关性(请参阅说明)： 建设信息学能力是发展中国家能够与美国机构合作的关键 在遏制HLV/ALDS疫情方面，以及这些机构进行多中心研究 与病毒的进化和对治疗剂的抗药性有关。

The Biomedical Research Informatics for Global Health Training (BRIGHT) program was developed to build capacity in medium- and low-income settings in Brazil. An all in-country program was developed, in the previous funding period, we developed a new certificate program in clinical informatics and supported a newly created doctoral program in bioinformatics. As these programs based in Sao Paulo evolve, we plan to extend their reach outside the city, to northern areas of Brazil and to Maputo, Mozambique. We propose a program that will: (1) Train Brazil's and Mozambique's future scientific leaders to be equipped to use tools of genome science, biomedical and health informatics. It will do so by concentrating on life sciences domains that are of particular relevance to Brazil and Mozambique and that have high im pact on global health, such as HIV/AIDS, cervical, colon, and breast cancer. We will address the different training needs of applied informatics research and basic informatics research by two distinct programs, which differ in duration and emphasis: (a) A one-year certificate program is aimed at meeting immediate human resource needs in applied biomedical and health informatics, (similar in goals to the formal master's program); and (b) A five-year doctoral program emphasizes basic informatics research that is motivated by real world problems. (2) Strengthen collaborations and data sharing between researchers in Brazil, Mozambique, and the USA. The focus is on cooperation enabled by informatics, and we will take advantage of the strengths of research of all participating faculty. Brazilian and Mozambican faculty and trainees will be able to go to international meetings to further develop their networks of collaborators. U.S. faculty will lecture and co-advise Brazilian and Mozambican students, co-develop curricula, and in turn acquire appreciation for the problems and issues concerning biomedical and health informatics in Brazil, Mozambique, and other dev eloping nations. RELEVANCE (See instructions): Building capacity in informatics Is critical for developing countries to be able to partner with U.S. institutions in the containment of the HlV/AlDS epidemic, and for these institutions to perform multi-center research related to the evolution of the virus and resistance to therapeutic agents.
