DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal, responding to the Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases and Disorders Across the Lifespan (CNCD) Fogarty initiative, focuses on three locations in India that are experiencing acute, detrimental effects of urbanization: Northeast India (Assam and Sikkim) and South Central India (Karnataka). The goals of this Fogarty submission align with the Fogarty Strategic Plan to reduce the training gap and increase research capacity for CNCDs, and focuses on behavioral conditions that receive little attention even though they are increasingly contributing to the burden of disease in Lower and Middle Income Countries (LMICs). This program addresses exposure to violence, addiction (prescribed and illicit drugs, alcohol and nicotine), and the most impairing mental symptoms (psychosis, suicidal ideation and dementia). It also emphasizes training in the social determinants of illness (environmental and social factors), as well as epigenetic determinants, across the lifespan. This new program will enhance and expand the work conducted through a sunsetted Fogarty ICOHRTA Program, funded since 2001, directed by Dr. Linda Cottler from Washington University and Major Foreign Collaborator Dr. Sanjeev Jain from the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences (NIMHANS), Bangalore, Karnataka, India. Under the CNCD mechanism, we are adding two new institutions, specifically, Lokopriya Gopinath Bordoloi (LGBRIMH) Regional Institute of Mental Health in Tezpur, Assam and the Voluntary Health Association of Gangtok, Sikkim (VHAS). These programs are added to increase the public health and policy emphasis of our training collaborating with premier NGO institutions. The INDO-US team has already made considerable progress building research capacity with mental health professionals trained by NIMHANS in Bangalore paired with WU's Department of Psychiatry; this new Fogarty gives WU and NIMHANS the opportunity to continue building needed public health relevant research capacity while also bridging to Northeast areas of Sikkim and Assam-areas that have critical need for sustainable research capacity building and outreach mentoring. We propose to train 4 long term trainees-2 pre docs and 2 post docs-every year for 5 years. Trainee selection and progress will be evaluated by the Training Advisory Group (TAG), who will give feedback to the Director and Major Foreign Collaborator on issues relating to the focus of training workshops in India and ideas for more collaborative grants between and across the institutions. Trainees in this program will have the opportunity to take formal courses, attend seminars and tutorials and work with their mentors apprenticeship- style. Training in the responsible conduct of research is a major emphasis of this program. Through our expanded program with three Indian sites, one with increased capacity, and two in critical need of infrastructure building, and our new networks of focus, we will develop sustainable partnerships to intervene with some of the most burdensome CNCDs in the world.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案响应了福格蒂“终生慢性非传染性疾病和病症”(CNCD) 倡议，重点关注印度正在经历城市化严重有害影响的三个地区： 印度东北部（阿萨姆邦和阿萨姆邦）锡金）和印度中南部（卡纳塔克邦）。这份福格蒂提交材料的目标与福格蒂战略计划一致，旨在缩小 CNCD 的培训差距并提高研究能力，并重点关注那些很少受到关注的行为状况，尽管它们日益加重中低收入国家的疾病负担（中低收入国家）。该计划针对暴力、成瘾（处方药和非法药物、酒精和尼古丁）以及最有损害的精神症状（精神病、自杀意念和痴呆）的问题。它还强调在整个生命周期中对疾病的社会决定因素（环境和社会因素）以及表观遗传决定因素进行培训。这项新计划将加强和扩大通过已取消的 Fogarty ICOHRTA 计划开展的工作，该计划自 2001 年起资助，由华盛顿大学的 Linda Cottler 博士和国家心理健康和神经科学研究所 (NIMHANS) 的主要外国合作者 Sanjeev Jain 博士指导。 ），班加罗尔，卡纳塔克邦，印度。在 CNCD 机制下，我们将增加两个新机构，即阿萨姆邦提斯普尔的 Lokopriya Gopinath Bordoloi (LGBRIMH) 地区心理健康研究所和锡金甘托克志愿健康协会 (VHAS)。添加这些项目是为了增加我们与主要非政府组织机构合作的培训对公共卫生和政策的重视。印度-美国团队在班加罗尔的 NIMHANS 与 WU 精神病学系合作培训的心理健康专业人员的研究能力建设方面已经取得了相当大的进展；这个新的福格蒂中心为 WU 和 NIMHANS 提供了继续建设所需的公共卫生相关研究能力的机会，同时也为锡金东北部地区和阿萨姆邦地区搭建了桥梁，这些地区对可持续研究能力建设和外展指导有着迫切的需求。 我们建议每年培训 4 名长期实习生（2 名博士前和 2 名博士后），为期 5 年。培训咨询小组 (TAG) 将评估学员的选择和进度，该小组将向主任和主要外国合作者提供与印度培训研讨会重点相关的问题以及机构之间和机构之间更多合作资助的想法的反馈。该计划的学员将有机会参加正式课程、参加研讨会和教程，并以学徒方式与导师一起工作。负责任的研究行为培训是该计划的重点。通过我们在三个印度站点（其中一个容量有所增加，两个急需基础设施建设）的扩展计划，以及我们新的重点网络，我们将发展可持续的伙伴关系，以干预世界上一些最繁重的 CNCD。
