Injury Control and Trauma Response

说明（由申请人提供）：作为世界上死亡和残疾的主要原因之一，人类创伤和伤害对所有国家的儿童和年轻人的影响都不成比例。机动车碰撞造成的伤害是这种社会损害的一个主要例子。据世界卫生组织统计，全世界每年有2 000万至5 000万人因道路交通事故致残，120万人死亡。大多数受影响的个体是年轻人，尤其是男性。作为我们之前在查尔斯McC的伤害预防研究工作的延续。Mathias, Jr.国家创伤和紧急医疗服务研究中心（NSC）和R Adams Cowley休克创伤中心（休克创伤）的创伤复苏，这项国家研究服务奖（NRSA）机构研究培训资助的目标是创建一个正式的项目，其中具有医学博士或博士学位的个人可以培训成为伤害控制和创伤反应研究的独立调查员。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): As one of the leading causes of death and disability in the world, human trauma and injury disproportionately affects children and young individuals in all countries. Injuries from motor vehicle collisions are a prime example of this damage to societies. According to the World Health Organization, road traffic accidents worldwide disable between 20 and 50 million individuals and kill 1.2 million people per year. The majority of individuals affected are young adults, especially men. As a continuation of our previous work in injury prevention research at the Charles McC. Mathias, Jr. National Study Center for Trauma and Emergency Medical Services (NSC) and in trauma resuscitation at R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center (Shock Trauma), the goal of this National Research Service Award (NRSA) institutional research training grant is to create a formal program wherein individuals with an M.D. or a Ph.D. degree can train to be independent investigators in injury control and trauma response research. This training program is designed to enable trainees to: (1) master a core curriculum in epidemiology and biostatistics; (2) become knowledgeable about the basic biological and psychosocial aspects of trauma and injury prevention; (3) become an expert in at least one substantive area relevant to injury control and trauma response; (4) learn to contribute to a research team under the supervision of a primary mentor with expertise in an aspect of injury prevention and control; and (5) demonstrate the capacity to conduct independent, original research. Considering the depth of expertise available at the University of Maryland, we have an ideal environment to collaborate on these educational efforts. The combination of University of Maryland at Baltimore's internationally recognized injury control research and trauma resuscitation practices in conjunction with our excellent didactic program in epidemiology and biostatistics provides an outstanding framework for the development of an injury prevention and injury control research training program. The proposed project will provide the training to enable new researchers to conduct high quality injury control and trauma response research that can help to reduce the devastating impact caused by tens of thousands of annual traumatic injuries and deaths.
