DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): With a focus on improving infection-related perinatal morbidity and mortality, 5 years ago, the University of Alabama at Birmingham (DAB) and the Aga Khan University (AKU), in Karachi, Pakistan competed for and were awarded a Research Unit within the Global Network (GN). Despite several setbacks, the UAB/AKU Collaboration has evolved into a very well-functioning and highly productive research and training program. This renewal application seeks to maintain and enhance that Global Network Research Unit (GNRU) focusing on improving developing country maternal-infant health with a specific emphasis on reducing perinatal morbidity and mortality. This GNRU will be, as before, a partnership between The Dept of OBGYN at UAB and the Dept of Community Health Sciences at AKU. The clinical subjects for studies conducted in Pakistan will include pregnant women from both urban and rural, and hospital and community-based populations. Through this study and our participation in other common protocols, we hope to stimulate the development and growth of Pakistani researchers and promote collaborations between AKU researchers and those from UAB. We also intend to attract new U.S. and Pakistani investigators to the field of international Maternal and Child Health research by systematic mentoring of promising junior investigators and recruiting senior scientists from related fields. In doing all this, we hope to enhance the research environment available to AKU scientists by providing high quality responsive administrative, statistical and research support services within a scientifically stimulating multidisciplinary setting. With the completion of these multi-centered projects, not only will we have answered some very important questions related to pregnancy and newborn outcomes in developing countries, but AKU, in partnership with UAB, will have developed a superb rural and urban perinatal-related research infrastructure, tightly linked to their developing maternal and child health care systems.

描述（由申请人提供）：重点是改善与感染相关的围产期发病率和死亡率，5年前，阿拉巴马大学伯明翰大学（DAB）和巴基斯坦卡拉奇的Aga Khan University（AKU）竞争并获得了全球网络（GN）的研究单位。尽管有几次挫折，但UAB/AKU的合作已演变为一个非常功能良好且富有成效的研究和培训计划。该更新应用程序旨在维护和增强全球网络研究部门（GNRU）的重点，致力于改善发展中国家的孕产妇健康，并特别着重于降低围产期发病率和死亡率。像以前一样，这种GNRU将是UAB的Obgyn部与AKU社区健康科学系之间的合作伙伴关系。在巴基斯坦进行的研究的临床学科将包括来自城市和农村的孕妇，以及医院和社区人群。 通过这项研究以及我们参与其他共同协议，我们希望刺激巴基斯坦研究人员的发展和成长，并促进AKU研究人员与UAB的研究人员之间的合作。我们还打算通过系统地指导有前途的初级调查人员并招募来自相关领域的高级科学家，以吸引新的美国和巴基斯坦研究人员进入国际孕产妇和儿童健康研究领域。在完成所有这些方面，我们希望通过在科学刺激的多学科环境中提供高质量的响应式行政，统计和研究支持服务来增强AKU科学家可用的研究环境。随着这些以这些以上为中心的项目的完成，我们不仅会回答与发展中国家的怀孕和新生儿有关的一些非常重要的问题，而且AKU与UAB合作，还将开发出极好的农村和城市围产期与围产期相关的研究基础设施，并与他们的发展中心和儿童保健系统紧密相关。
