EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED. Pakistan, the sixth most populous country in the world, has challenging environmental and occupational issues such as water, air and noise pollution, increasing pesticide use,heavy metal poisoning, inadequate waste disposal and a range of other domestic, workplace and environmental hazards. Although interest has emerged in resolving these issues, relatively few initiatives have so far been taken, and there has been almost no systematic research in the area of environmental and occupational health. There are no university based training programs in Pakistan that are specifically designed to develop the necessary professionals to take on these challenges. This proposal is a collaborative effort between University of Alabama Birmingham (UAB) and the Aga Khan University (AKU) of Karachi, Pakistan. The program willbuild efficiently on the successful UAB-AKU relationship of the UAB Fogarty AIDS International Training and Research Program and the newly awarded International Maternal and Child Health Research and Training program and theUAB- AKU Global Network Research Unit for maternal and child health. The purpose of the proposedprogram ininternational training and research in environmental and occupational health (ITREOH) is to strengthen and sustain, through collaborative research and training, the capability of Pakistani scientists to conduct environmental and occupational health research. The proposed training program is multidisciplinary and includes epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health, occupational health, industrial hygiene, toxicology, health behavior, health policy and economics as applied to etiologic research, disease and environmental surveillance and intervention research in environmental and occupational health. The expected result will be a center of excellence in environmental and occupational health research at AKU, which will contribute to national and regional capacity in these fields. Training components will include short-term training in Pakistan that will consist of principle- and problem-based short courses; intermediate training in Pakistan that will provide mentorship and funds for pilot research, and that will also provide for new options within existing graduate and specialty training programs at AKU;long-term training that will provide more specialized and longer term educational opportunities at UAB at masters and doctoral levels. A web-based distance-learningprogram between UAB and AKU also will be developed jointly. The training program will promote the initiation of new environmental and occupational health research within the AKU-UAB institutions and facilitate long-term collaborative relationships between Pakistani and US investigatorsand trainees. DevelopingAKU's independent capacityto provideregionalleadershipin trainingand research should be an excellent long-term investment of Fogarty and NICHD resources.

超过提供的空间。 巴基斯坦是世界上第六大人口众多的国家，具有挑战性的环境和职业问题，例如水，空气和噪音污染，农药使用的增加，重金属中毒，废物处理不足以及其他一系列其他家庭，工作场所和环境危害。尽管在解决这些问题方面已经出现了兴趣，但到目前为止，几乎没有在环境和职业健康领域进行的系统研究。巴基斯坦没有基于大学的培训计划，专门设计用于培养必要的专业人员来应对这些挑战。该提议是阿拉巴马大学伯明翰大学（UAB）与巴基斯坦卡拉奇的Aga Khan大学（AKU）之间的合作努力。该计划将有效地建立在UAB-FOGARTY IADS国际培训和研究计划以及新授予的国际孕产妇和儿童健康研究与培训计划以及Theuab-aku全球网络研究部门的UAB-AKU关系上。拟议中的媒介计划的媒介和职业健康研究（ITREOH）的目的是通过协作研究和培训加强和维持巴基斯坦科学家进行环境和职业健康研究的能力。拟议的培训计划是多学科的，包括流行病学，生物统计学，环境健康，职业健康，工业卫生，毒理学，健康行为，健康政策和经济学，用于病因学研究，疾病以及环境监测和环境和职业健康研究。预期的结果将是AKU环境和职业健康研究卓越的中心，该研究将有助于这些领域的国家和地区能力。培训组件将包括在巴基斯坦的短期培训，其中包括原则和基于问题的短期课程；巴基斯坦的中级培训将为试点研究提供指导和资金，并且还将在AKU的现有研究生和专业培训计划中提供新的选择；长期培训，将在硕士和博士学位的UAB提供更专业和长期的教育机会。 UAB和AKU之间的基于Web的距离学习程序也将共同开发。该培训计划将促进AKU-UAB机构内的新环境和职业健康研究的启动，并促进巴基斯坦与美国调查人员和学员之间的长期合作关系。开发库的独立能力对培训和研究的培训和研究的独立能力应该是Fogarty和NICHD资源的出色长期投资。表演站点=============================================================================================
