DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The low and middle-income countries of the world face a rising threat to public health from the rapidly escalating epidemic of tobacco use. Strong evidence based programs are urgently needed to promote tobacco control. However, few less developed countries have sufficient infrastructure or capacity for tobacco control research, and funding for such research may be unavailable or extremely limited. This application builds on the strong partnerships already established by the Institute for Global Tobacco Control of the Bloomberg School of Public Health and sets out a strategy for enhanced tobacco control research and capacity building in Asia and Latin America. The overall goal is to train tobacco control researchers who can work individually and collaboratively to carry out tobacco control research and use the evidence to implement effective interventions that will result in policy and behavioral change. The core elements of the program will include in-depth training of tobacco control leaders in the regions, regional training and policy relevant epidemiologic and intervention research. Established researchers will receive in-depth training at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health to equip them not only with needed research competencies but also with an understanding of the relationship between tobacco control evidence and effective policy. Regional training workshops will focus on key regional needs and help to establish a network of tobacco control experts within and between countries who can develop and implement collaborative research projects. Research needs will be established through interactions with stakeholder groups and policy makers in each region. For the initial year, research projects are proposed based on research needs identified as policy relevant through prior collaborations. In Brazil, a national survey of tobacco use and tobacco related knowledge, attitudes and behavior is proposed in collaboration with the National Cancer Institute. In China, the proposed research effort is a community intervention trial focusing on the creation of smoke free homes with the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine. In Mexico, the Institute plans to work with its partner, the National Institute for Public Health, to estimate smoking attributable morbidity and mortality, and associated costs. Additional projects will be developed by research associates and supported with funds from this grant. Our partner institutions are well positioned to sustain this project.

描述（由申请人提供）： 世界上低收入和中等收入国家面临着迅速升级烟草使用流行的公共卫生威胁。迫切需要强大的基于证据的计划来促进烟草控制。但是，很少有发达国家拥有足够的基础设施或用于烟草控制研究的能力，并且该研究的资金可能不可用或极为有限。该应用程序建立在彭博公共卫生学院全球烟草控制研究所已经建立的强大伙伴关系的基础上，并制定了一项策略，以增强亚洲和拉丁美洲的烟草控制研究和能力建设。总体目标是培训烟草控制研究人员，他们可以单独和协作以进行烟草控制研究并使用证据来实施有效的干预措施，从而导致政策和行为改变。该计划的核心要素将包括对地区烟草控制领导者的深入培训，区域培训和政策相关的流行病学和干预研究。知名的研究人员将在约翰·霍普金斯彭博公共卫生学院接受深入的培训，不仅使他们拥有所需的研究能力，还可以理解烟草控制证据与有效政策之间的关系。区域培训研讨会将专注于关键的区域需求，并帮助建立可以开发和实施协作研究项目的国家内部和国家之间的烟草控制专家网络。研究需求将通过与每个地区的利益相关者群体和政策制定者的互动来确定。在第一年，根据通过先前合作确定为政策的研究需求提出了研究项目。在巴西，与国家癌症研究所合作提出了一项全国性烟草使用和与烟草相关的知识的调查。在中国，拟议的研究工作是一项社区干预审判，重点是与中国预防医学学院创建无烟房屋。在墨西哥，该研究所计划与其合作伙伴，国家公共卫生研究所合作，以估计吸烟归因于可归因于发病率和死亡率以及相关费用。其他项目将由研究伙伴开发，并得到这笔赠款的资金。我们的合作伙伴机构在维持该项目方面处于良好状态。
