ABSTRACT We propose to establish a Support Center (Consortium) involving University of California- Berkeley, Yale University, Stanford University and Florida International University to train postdoctoral fellows, PhD graduate students, and medical students for them to develop a long- term career in global health research. The main objective of the program is to generate a new and young cadre of global health researchers, educators, and professionals who will be prepared to address the new challenges in global health that arise from our constantly changing planet, in particular, those challenges that emerge from the world's burgeoning human settlements known as slums that have developed in urban and rural communities of many low and middle-income countries (LMIC). Slum-specific factors associated with chronic, noncommunicable, as well as infectious diseases, environmental health hazards, risks specific to women and children, intentional and unintentional injuries, and mental disorders are poorly understood, and there are not many researchers dealing with these issues. These diseases comprise a large proportion of the world's health problems. Our training program will emphasize a multidisciplinary, problem-based approach using slum health as a platform to expose trainees to the new concepts, models, and approaches to global health research. The training will be conducted at US government-funded field research sites at 10 locations abroad, including Central and South America, Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, East Asia, and Eastern Europe, where the Consortium mentors have been conducting research for more than 3 years. The Consortium includes a large reservoir of postdoctoral fellows and upper division graduate and medical students who will be candidates for the training program. The Consortium has made a special effort to identify potential trainees from under-represented minority groups and it has thus partnered with Florida International University, the largest Hispanic-serving institution in the continental US, which also has a large pool of African-American students. Thus, this research training program will provide an opportunity to draw highly skilled researchers from diverse backgrounds from a wide spectrum of disciplines, who will use the knowledge gained from this program to develop their own research agenda to improve the lives of people who are exposed to a wide range of interacting health risks that engender new global health challenges.

抽象的 我们建议建立一个由加州大学参与的支持中心（联盟）- 伯克利大学、耶鲁大学、斯坦福大学和佛罗里达国际大学参加培训 博士后研究员、博士研究生和医学生，为他们发展长期的 全球健康研究的长期职业生涯。该计划的主要目标是产生一个新的 以及由全球卫生研究人员、教育工作者和专业人士组成的年轻干部，他们将 准备好应对因我们不断变化而带来的全球健康新挑战 地球，特别是世界迅速发展的人类所带来的挑战 被称为贫民窟的定居点在许多低收入城市和农村社区发展起来 和中等收入国家（LMIC）。与慢性、 非传染性疾病以及传染病、环境健康危害、特定风险 对妇女儿童、故意和无意伤害、精神障碍等问题的处理很差 理解，并且处理这些问题的研究人员并不多。这些疾病 构成世界健康问题的很大一部分。我们的培训计划将 强调以贫民窟卫生为平台的多学科、基于问题的方法 让学员了解全球健康研究的新概念、模型和方法。这 培训将在美国政府资助的位于国外 10 个地点的实地研究地点进行， 包括中美洲和南美洲、撒哈拉以南非洲、南亚、东亚和东部 联盟导师已在欧洲进行了 3 年多的研究。 该联盟包括大量博士后研究员和高年级毕业生 以及将成为培训计划候选人的医学生。该财团有 做出了特别努力，从代表性不足的少数群体中寻找潜在的受训者，并且 因此，与最大的西班牙裔服务机构佛罗里达国际大学合作 在美国大陆，也有大量非裔美国学生。因此，这个 研究培训计划将为吸引高技能研究人员提供机会 来自广泛学科的不同背景，他们将利用所获得的知识 从这个计划中制定他们自己的研究议程，以改善人们的生活 面临各种相互作用的健康风险，从而带来新的全球健康挑战。
