PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT India's NCD burden is increasing at an alarming rate, now including, eg, >50 million diabetics. This demanding burden can be lessened by research and prevention programs both create awareness and provide effective and efficient strategies for action. This proposal targets this burden with an institution and individual capacity building and training program developed under ICOHRTA by a collaboration between UAB and the Madras Diabetes Research Foundation (MDRF) in Chennai. The highly successful training model that evolved goes beyond degree training to institutional capacity building and enhancing individual research capability broadly across career stages and paths with a major focus on activities within India. It addresses NCD broadly with an International Training Seminar held in India and designed to provide awareness and skills for delegates from, and enhancing the capacity of, an array of medical colleges and health sector institutes and agencies. The seminar includes annually >100 delegates and >20 faculty, a mixture of a US team and a selection of highly respected Indian scientists and educators. Also proposed are continuing the Intensive Sessions with a focus on 10 specific research projects per year, a series of in-house workshops at 2+ institutions per year designed to build institute capacity and enhance dissertation projects and a seminar series, some during the proposed twice-monthly video conferences and some during visits to the institutions. Another proposed component is to continue the short-term training in the US, for 4/year for pre-determined highly focused training. This overall strategy has proven highly productive in producing PhDs, with 18 completed since 2002 and 24 currently underway with the added benefit that all these persons remain in India except a post-doc in the US. Important new initiatives will expand the breadth and depth of the ongoing program and include creating a Community Medicine Faculty Forum; a focus on Developing Common NCD Definitions and Data Collection Procedures; a Train the Trainers Program, designed to make existing procedures and methods plus those a result of the Forum and common methods activities above readily available via a webpage; a process for adding new collaborating institutions, at least one per year; a process for creating new courses at MDRF and continuing and expanding a Genomics Training Program. These proposed activities will continue to influence the extent and nature of NCD research at the participating institutions and beyond to India, beyond their already considerable impact. Trainees now hold important positions in the health sector in India. Further MDRF and the trainees have developed a most laudable scientific project and publication record during the collaboration. The course and the nature of the activities will be guided by the existing Internal Advisory Committee and the Training Advisory Committee to be created.

项目概要/摘要 印度的非传染性疾病负担正在以惊人的速度增加，目前包括超过 5000 万糖尿病患者。这 研究和预防计划可以减轻艰巨的负担，既提高认识，又提供 有效和高效的行动战略。该提案针对的是机构和个人的这一负担 能力建设和培训计划是在 ICOHRTA 下由 UAB 和 位于钦奈的马德拉斯糖尿病研究基金会 (MDRF)。演变而来的非常成功的培训模式 超越学位培训，开展机构能力建设和提高个人研究能力 广泛跨越职业阶段和道路，主要关注印度境内的活动。它广泛涉及非传染性疾病 在印度举办国际培训研讨会，旨在提高代表们的意识和技能 来自一系列医学院和卫生部门研究所和机构，并提高其能力。 该研讨会每年都有超过 100 名代表和超过 20 名教职人员参加，其中包括美国团队和精选的 备受尊敬的印度科学家和教育家。还建议继续举行密集会议 每年专注于 10 个具体研究项目，每年在 2 个以上机构举办一系列内部研讨会 旨在建设研究所能力并加强论文项目和研讨会系列，其中一些是在 提议每月举行两次视频会议，其中一些在访问机构期间举行。另一个提议 组成部分是继续在美国进行短期培训，为期 4 年，针对预先确定的高度集中的培训 训练。事实证明，这一总体战略在培养博士方面卓有成效，自 2002 年以来已完成 18 名博士 和 24 个目前正在进行中，额外的好处是所有这些人都留在印度，除了一名博士后 美国。重要的新举措将扩大正在进行的计划的广度和深度，包括 创建社区医学教师论坛；专注于制定通用非传染性疾病定义和数据 收集程序；培训师培训计划，旨在使现有程序和方法更加完善 论坛和上述共同方法活动的成果可通过网页随时获取；一个过程 每年至少增加一个新的合作机构； MDRF 创建新课程的流程 继续并扩大基因组学培训计划。这些拟议的活动将继续 影响参与机构及印度以外地区非传染性疾病研究的程度和性质 他们已经产生了相当大的影响。学员现在在印度卫生部门担任重要职务。更远 MDRF 和学员在培训期间开发了最值得称赞的科学项目和出版记录 合作。活动的进程和性质将由现有的内部咨询委员会指导 将设立委员会和培训咨询委员会。
