DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Chicago (UC) has supported active clinical and basic research programs as well as community-based research into the epidemiology and socio-cultural factors that contribute to disparities in the incidence and expression of breast cancer in partnership with the University of Ibadan (UI) and the University College Hospital (UCH) for more than a decade. The proposed "International Partnership for Interdisciplinary Research Training in Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases and Disorders across the Lifespan" program will deepen research methods skills amongst trainees in clinical research and introduce an important research methods dimension consistent with the needs expressed by in country collaborators. The dimension of interest is an interdisciplinary approach, a "lateral shift", whereby trainees receive distinct added research training in another health related discipline such as bioethics, biostatistics, behavioral science, cancer biology, clinical pharmacology and pharmacogenetics, economics, demography, epidemiology, health policy, human genetics, immunology, molecular pathology, and the social sciences,. This "lateral shift" will increase capacity amongst trainees at various career levels to develop relevan hypotheses, plan appropriate study designs, operationalize research findings, nurture collaborations between investigators of different disciplines and in some trainees potentiate considerable shifts in thinking and approaches to preventing and curing the diseases that most affect this region and continent. Prototype trainees would be those who at the end of the program have deepened her/his primary research training in the clinical field they are most familiar with and has leveraged new health related discipline research methods OR one who has shifted to a primary focus on health related discipline with Masters or PhD level training and focusing on a given clinical topic; both with the goal of conducting team based interdisciplinary research that leads to substantive improvements in practical prevention and treatment practices. By consolidating and reorganizing existing research capacity within UI, strategic African-US teams will increasingly become fully operational and expand upon research projects to develop truly shared interdisciplinary programs. Program areas of focus have been selected by the joint Ibadan and Chicago training advisory group, and are particular areas where the UC can provide research support. The training program in Cancer is now fully operational having trained more than 200 Africans in the past ten years and now will advance to train a projected 416 Africans in 1) other non-communicable disorders such as Sickle Cell Disease, Asthma/COPD and Indoor Pollution as well as Women's Health; 2) expand to additional training methodologies and health disciplines such as dentistry, nursing and ophthalmology; 3) expand to other emerging South-South collaborations such as a new Nigeria-Tanzania partnership fostered by UC and 4) expand to other African countries through the African Organization on Research and Training In Cancer and African Society of Human Genetics.

描述（由申请人提供）：芝加哥大学（UC）支持了积极的临床和基础研究计划以及基于社区的研究，对流行病学和社会文化因素的研究有助于与IBADAN大学（UI）（UI）和大学学院医院（UCH）合作，在乳腺癌发病率和表达方面造成了差异。拟议的“在整个生命周期内进行慢性非通信疾病和疾病的跨学科研究培训的国际伙伴关系”计划将加深临床研究学员之间的研究方法技能，并介绍与国家合作者表达的需求一致的重要研究方法维度。感兴趣的维度是一种跨学科的方法，一种“横向转变”，学员在其他与健康相关的学科中获得了明显的研究培训，例如生物伦理学，生物伦理学，行为科学，癌症生物学，临床药理学，临床药理学和药物遗传学，经济学，人口统计学，人口统计学，人口统计学，人口统计学，人口统计学，人口统计学，健康政策，人类遗传学，人类遗传学，分子病理学，社交学，社会疾病，以及社会科学，以及这一社会科学和社会科学，以及依恋，以及依恋，以及依恋，以及依恋，以及依恋，以及这种社会学，以及依恋，以及依恋，以及依恋，以及依恋，以及属性，以及社交学，以及属性。这种“横向转移”将增加各种职业水平的受训者之间的能力，以开发相关假设，计划适当的研究设计，运作研究结果，培育不同学科的研究人员之间的合作以及某些学员之间的合作，增强了在思维方面的大量转变，以防止和治疗最大的疾病和治疗该地区和大陆的疾病。原型受训者将是那些在计划结束时加深了她/他在最熟悉的临床领域的主要研究培训，并利用了与健康相关的新学科研究方法，或者已经转向主要关注与健康相关的学科的人或博士学位或博士学位培训，并专注于给定的临床主题；两者都是进行基于团队的跨学科研究，从而导致实践预防和治疗实践的实质性改善。通过巩固和重组UI中的现有研究能力，战略性的非洲US团队将越来越全面地运作，并扩大研究项目，以制定真正共享的跨学科计划。联合伊巴丹和芝加哥培训咨询小组已选择了重点的计划领域，并且是UC可以提供研究支持的特定领域。在过去的十年中，已经对200多名非洲人进行了培训，现在将在癌症的培训计划中进行全面运作，现在将培训预计的416个非洲人，以1）其他非传染性疾病，例如镰状细胞疾病，哮喘/COPD和室内污染以及妇女的健康； 2）扩展到其他培训方法和健康学科，例如牙科，护理和眼科； 3）扩展到其他新兴的南南合作，例如UC建立的新尼日利亚 - 塔扎尼亚伙伴关系，4）通过非洲组织在非洲组织的癌症和非洲人类遗传学学会方面扩展到其他非洲国家。
