DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Cairo University (Kasr El-Ainy) is a leading educational institution in Egypt and the Middle East and has been a leading medical training institution for almost a century, training MDs as practitioners and medical leaders throughout the region. Advances in medicine and health services delivery have required increased application of emerging research findings and health-related questions specific to Egyptian society have emerged. There is an increasing demand for Cairo University to develop a research capacity to use and contribute to the research in medicine and health care delivery. The Fogarty International Research Training Program is an excellent mechanism to link the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) School of Medicine with the Cairo University School of Medicine (Cairo U) in a beneficial collaborative agreement by extending the existing relationship between the universities' Departments of Psychiatry to build Cairo U's capacity in the area of research on substance use disorders, their treatment and on the systems of care that deliver treatment in Egypt. Egypt needs a research capacity to: 1. determine the nature and extent of substance use disorders; 2. assess the efficacy and effectiveness of specific treatments; and, 3. quantitatively evaluate innovative treatment service delivery efforts. While clinical trials research is the major theme of the training program, there is a diversity of research knowledge and expertise at UCLA ISAP. Fellows will also receive tremendous exposure to research on the basic neurophysiology of addiction, brain imaging research, human laboratory research methods, women and adolescent issues, medical sequellae of drug use (including HIV and hepatitis), epidemiological research, health services research, drug abuse and the criminal justice system, and many other areas. The proposed training plan will include: 2 long-term fellows, who will spend 12 and 6 months at UCLA (10 over 5 years); 2 short-term fellows who will visit UCLA and attend CPDD meeting (10 over 5 years); an annual addiction research institute conference in Cairo; 2 week-long workshops by 4 UCLA faculty members in Cairo; distance learning participation by Cairo U fellows and other Cairo U psychiatric faculty in regularly scheduled UCLA substance abuse research seminars; travel by Dr. Tarek Gawad and the 4 fellows to College on Problems of Drug Dependence and UCLA. Each fellow will have a faculty research mentor from UCLA to oversee a plan of research knowledge/skills development. Small grants will be awarded to fellows to conduct a research project. Dr. Gawad, Associate Director of the Addiction Unit at Cairo U and Dr. Rawson, Associate Director of UCLA ISAP, will coordinate all activities. The aims of this training program are to: (1) Engage current Cairo U faculty and MD Candidates into careers in research; (2) Introduce and initiate research interests and skills of MSc candidates; (3) Increase research training throughout the Cairo U medical curriculum (4) Address substance use research questions of importance in Egypt, and finally; (5) Promote successful NIDA and other research grants by Cairo U faculty and students.

描述（由申请人提供）：开罗大学（Kasr El-Ainy）是埃及和中东地区领先的教育机构，近一个世纪以来一直是领先的医疗培训机构，在整个地区培训医学博士作为从业者和医疗领导者。医学和卫生服务提供的进步需要更多地应用新兴研究成果，并且出现了埃及社会特有的健康相关问题。人们越来越需要开罗大学发展研究能力，以利用和促进医学和卫生保健服务的研究。福格蒂国际研究培训计划是一个极好的机制，通过扩展大学之间的现有关系，将加州大学洛杉矶分校 (UCLA) 医学院与开罗大学医学院 (Cairo U) 建立有益的合作协议。精神病学系将建设开罗大学在物质使用障碍及其治疗以及在埃及提供治疗的护理系统方面的研究能力。埃及需要研究能力来： 1. 确定药物滥用障碍的性质和程度； 2. 评估特定治疗的功效和效果； 3. 定量评估创新治疗服务的提供工作。虽然临床试验研究是主要的 根据培训计​​划的主题，加州大学洛杉矶分校 ISAP 拥有多样化的研究知识和专业知识。研究员还将广泛接触成瘾的基本神经生理学研究、脑成像研究、人体实验室研究方法、妇女和青少年问题、吸毒的医疗后遗症（包括艾滋病毒和肝炎）、流行病学研究、卫生服务研究、药物滥用和刑事司法系统以及许多其他领域。拟议的培训计划将包括： 2 名长期研究员，他们将在 UCLA 学习 12 个月和 6 个月（10 名为期 5 年）； 2名短期研究员将访问加州大学洛杉矶分校并参加CPDD会议（5年期间10名）；在开罗举行的成瘾研究所年度会议；由 4 名加州大学洛杉矶分校教员在开罗举办的 2 场为期一周的研讨会；开罗大学研究员和其他开罗大学精神病学教师定期参加加州大学洛杉矶分校药物滥用研究研讨会的远程学习； Tarek Gawad 博士和 4 名研究员前往药物依赖问题学院和加州大学洛杉矶分校。每个研究员将有一位来自加州大学洛杉矶分校的教职研究导师来监督研究知识/技能发展计划。将向研究员提供小额赠款以开展研究项目。开罗大学成瘾科副主任 Gawad 博士和加州大学洛杉矶分校 ISAP 副主任 Rawson 博士将协调所有活动。该培训计划的目的是：（1）让开罗大学现任教员和医学博士候选人从事研究工作； (2) 介绍和启动硕士生的研究兴趣和技能； (3) 在开罗大学医学课程中增加研究培训 (4) 解决埃及重要的物质使用研究问题，最后； (5) 促进开罗大学教职员工和学生成功获得 NIDA 和其他研究资助。
