PROJECT SUMMARY The goal of this K01 application is to provide an individualized program of mentored research training for Dr. Deanna Saylor, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Dr. Saylor has been based full-time in Zambia since 2018 where, in collaboration with local stakeholders, she has launched the first neurology inpatient unit and first neurology post-graduate training program in the country. Dr. Saylor is applying for an International Research Scientist Development Award to gain skills and experience in implementation science research. Combined with her background in clinical and epidemiological research, this new skillset will uniquely position her to both generate new knowledge and help develop care systems that effectively implement new knowledge to improve patient outcomes. The research plan outlined in this application leverages the developing system of neurological care in Zambia to understand current stroke care practices at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH; Zambia's national referral hospital), develop locally relevant stroke clinical practice guidelines, and examine the effect of their implementation on stroke outcomes. Since stroke is the second leading cause of adult disability and mortality worldwide and stroke prevalence in sub-Saharan Africa is amongst the highest in the world, these data are urgently needed to address this national, regional, and global health problem. The proposed research includes a pre-intervention prospective cohort of patients with stroke at UTH to characterize current stroke care clinical practices and stroke outcomes (aim 1). A stroke working group including relevant stakeholders will then be convened to investigate community, patient, provider, and health systems factors leading to difficulty achieving stroke quality measures and optimal outcomes. The Adopt-Contextualize-Adapt framework will then be used to develop locally relevant clinical practice guidelines from international stroke guidelines for implementation (aim 2). These guidelines will then be implemented, and a post-intervention observational cohort study conducted to examine their impact on achieving stroke quality measures and improving stroke outcomes. This K01 will also support Dr. Saylor's training goals which include gaining additional training and mentorship in the following key areas: (1) implementation science frameworks and methodology; (2) qualitative data methods and analysis; (3) stroke clinical research methods, especially aspects unique to global settings; and (4) developing an international network of collaborators for future large-scale and generalizability studies. In order to achieve these goals, Dr. Saylor has established an international team of mentors with expertise in implementation science, qualitative studies, stroke research, neurology research in sub-Saharan Africa, and stroke center development in international settings. This award will provide Dr. Saylor with the mentorship, knowledge, and experience necessary to become an independent investigator in global neurology conducting clinical and implementation research to improve outcomes for patients with stroke and other neurologic disorders.

项目摘要 该K01应用的目的是为Dr. Dr.提供一个个性化的指导研究培训计划。 约翰·霍普金斯大学学校神经病学系的助理教授Deanna Saylor 医学。 Saylor博士自2018年以来一直在赞比亚全职，与当地合作 利益相关者，她启动了第一个神经病学住院单元和第一个神经病学研究生培训 该国计划。 Saylor博士正在申请国际研究科学家发展奖 在实施科学研究方面获得技能和经验。与她的临床背景相结合 流行病学研究，这种新技能集将使她既可以产生新的知识又有帮助 开发有效实施新知识以改善患者结果的护理系统。研究 该应用程序中概述的计划利用了赞比亚的神经护理发展系统 大学教学医院（UTH；赞比亚国家转诊医院）的当前中风护理实践， 制定本地相关的中风临床实践指南，并检查其实施对 中风结果。由于中风是全球成人残疾和死亡率的第二大主要原因， 撒哈拉以南非洲的中风患病率是世界上最高的中风，这些数据迫切需要这些数据 解决这个国家，地区和全球健康问题。拟议的研究包括干预前 UTH中风患者的前瞻性队列，以表征当前的中风护理临床实践和 中风结果（AIM 1）。然后将召集一个中风工作组，包括相关利益相关者 调查社区，患者，提供者和卫生系统因素，导致难以实现中风 质量措施和最佳结果。然后将使用采用封闭式框架框架 根据国际中风指南制定本地相关的临床实践指南（AIM 2）。然后将实施这些准则，并进行干预后观察队列研究 检查它们对实现中风质量度量和改善中风结果的影响。这个K01会 还支持Saylor博士的培训目标，其中包括获得额外的培训和指导 关键领域：（1）实施科学框架和方法论； （2）定性数据方法和 分析; （3）中风临床研究方法，尤其是全球环境所特有的方面； （4）发展 一个国际合作者网络，用于未来的大规模和概括性研究。为了实现 这些目标，Saylor博士建立了一个具有实施专业知识的国际导师团队 科学，定性研究，中风研究，撒哈拉以南非洲的神经病学研究和中风中心 国际环境的发展。该奖项将为Saylor博士提供指导，知识和 成为全球神经学独立研究者所必需的经验，并 实施研究以改善中风和其他神经系统疾病患者的结局。
