DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overarching goal of this proposal "Tufts-CMC Framework Program for Global Health Innovation" is to develop novel architecture for postdoctoral training, wherein the breadth of interdisciplinary expertise at the long term, collaborative partner institutions of Tufts University, Boston, MA, and Christian Medical College (CMC), Vellore, India can be focused on solving current challenges in global health. We will accomplish this goal through an integrated, systems approach to hands-on training of interdisciplinary teams of paired postdoctoral fellows from Tufts and CMC in global health innovations. Our consortium includes 5 Schools (Medicine, Nutrition, Graduate Biomedical Sciences, Engineering, and International Affairs) and their departments, divisions and programs at Tufts University and Tufts Medical Center (together referred to as "Tufts") and CMC. Collectively, we are engaged in substantive global health research and training activities. While we have successfully implemented global health training at the pre- and postdoctoral levels, we have identified critical gaps and areas for growth in our postdoctoral training programs. To address these gaps and areas for growth and to recruit new investigators to the full spectrum of translation of global health research, we propose to develop a sustainable interdisciplinary training program that will build training and research capacity at both institutions through a nove team-based structure. Each team will be composed of two postdoctoral fellows from diverse disciplines at Tufts and CMC, their mentors in each discipline, and an interdisciplinary mentorship committee. These teams will implement a systems approach to global health research and the translation of this research into new and innovative, implementable products, processes, or policies that address specific global health challenges. The proposed training program will build on our collective, interdisciplinary strengths, which encompass both infectious and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) relevant to global health in low and middle-income countries (LMIC). The Specific Aims are 1: To develop and implement interdisciplinary team-based training of postdoctoral fellows from Tufts and CMC through a systems approach to global health innovations; 2: To implement the translation of the research findings of the interdisciplinary teams from bench to bedside and to public health benefits and policy appropriate to low resource settings in LMICs; 3: To promote and implement interdisciplinary collaboration between faculty with diverse expertise both within and among the various schools and departments at Tufts and CMC; and 4: To enhance and build institutional capacity at Tufts and CMC for sustainable interdisciplinary training in global health innovations.

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overarching goal of this proposal "Tufts-CMC Framework Program for Global Health Innovation" is to develop novel architecture for postdoctoral training, wherein the breadth of interdisciplinary expertise at the long term, collaborative partner institutions of Tufts University, Boston, MA, and Christian Medical College (CMC), Vellore, India can be focused on solving current challenges in global health.我们将通过集成的系统方法来实现这一目标，以对全球健康创新中的Tufts和CMC组成的成对的博士后研究员进行动手培训。我们的财团包括5所学校（医学，营养，研究生生物医学，工程和国际事务）及其部门，塔夫茨大学和塔夫茨医学中心的部门和计划（共同称为“塔夫茨”）和CMC。总的来说，我们从事实质性的全球健康研究和培训活动。尽管我们在博士后和博士后水平成功实施了全球健康培训，但我们已经确定了博士后培训计划的关键差距和领域。为了解决这些差距和领域的增长，并招募了新的研究人员到全球健康研究的全部翻译范围内，我们建议制定一项可持续的跨学科培训计划，该计划将通过基于Nove团队的结构在这两个机构中建立培训和研究能力。每个团队将由塔夫茨和CMC的不同学科的两个博士后研究员组成，每个学科的导师以及一个跨学科的指导委员会。这些团队将对全球健康研究的系统方法以及将这项研究转化为应对特定全球健康挑战的新的，可实施的产品，流程或政策。拟议的培训计划将建立在我们的集体跨学科优势的基础上，该优势涵盖了与低收入和中等收入国家（LMIC）有关全球健康相关的传染性和非传染性疾病（NCD）。具体目的是1：通过全球健康创新的系统方法开发和实施基于跨学科的团队培训对塔夫特和CMC的博士后研究员的培训； 2：实施跨学科团队从板凳到床边的研究结果的翻译，以及适合LMIC中低资源环境的公共卫生福利和政策； 3：促进和实施具有多种专业知识的教职员工之间的跨学科合作，无论是在塔夫茨和CMC的各个学校和部门之间的多样化专业知识；和4：在全球卫生创新方面的可持续跨学科培训中增强和建立塔夫茨和CMC的机构能力。
