Project Summary This training grant will utilize an existing research infrastructure in Peru to train Peruvian scientists and health professionals in infectious disease research. This proposal expands on the foundation of a successful,longstanding, NIH-funded training and research collaboration between the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia (UPCH) in Lima, Peru and the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health (JHSPH). Over the past 20 years, the parent program has trained over 90 Peruvians and 400 graduate and post-graduate students of other nationalities. The specific aims of this program are: (1) We will train three Peruvian students per year (15 total) at the Masters level at UPCH in Public Health and/or Biochemistry. (2) We will train one Peruvian PhD at JHSPH. This trainee will return to Peru to perform the research for his/her dissertation after the two years of coursework at Hopkins. (3) We will train three students in the MPH program at JHSPH. (4) We will enable six Peruvian students to attend the Tropical Medicine and Public Health Summer Instituteat JHSPH over a five year period. (5) We will set up two three-day seminars. (6) We will begin the development of a doctoral program in International Health at UPCH, so that we can transition to local training. This has two components: ¿ We will aim to develop a "hybrid" MPH/PhD program. If this is achieved, the students from Aim 3 can return to Peru following their MPH and enter the hybrid program. ¿ We will develop stronger coursework for the UPCH PhD program in International Health. A student course assessment committee will be assembled that includes the students trained in Aims 1, 2, and 3, as well as past foreign-trained PhD scientists. This committee will advise the Steering Committee on how to improve the coursework for a UPCH doctoral program.

项目摘要 该培训补助金将利用秘鲁的现有研究基础设施来培训秘鲁科学家和卫生专业人员的传染病研究。该提案扩大了基础，这是在利马，秘鲁，秘鲁，约翰·霍普金斯公共卫生学院（JHSPH）的佩鲁阿纳·卡耶塔诺·埃雷迪亚大学（UPCH）之间成功，长期以来的NIH资助培训和研究合作的基础。在过去的20年中，家长计划培训了90多名秘鲁人和400名其他国籍的研究生和研究生。 该计划的具体目的是： （1）我们将在UPCH的公共卫生和/或生物化学的UPCH硕士级别每年培训三名秘鲁学生（总共15名）。 （2）我们将在JHSPH培训一位秘鲁博士。这位受训者将在霍普金斯大学的两年课程后返回秘鲁进行研究。 （3）我们将在JHSPH的MPH计划中培训三名学生。 （4）我们将使六名秘鲁学生能够在五年内参加热带医学和公共卫生夏季研究所JHSPH。 （5）我们将建立两个三天的半手。 （6）我们将开始开发UPCH国际健康博士学位课程，以便我们可以过渡到本地培训。这有两个组成部分： »我们将旨在制定“混合” MPH/PHD计划。如果实现这一目标，AIM 3的学生可以在MPH之后返回秘鲁并输入混合计划。 �我们将为UPCH博士学位计划开发更强大的课程。将组建一个学生课程评估委员会，其中包括在AIMS 1、2和3中接受培训的学生以及过去受过外交训练的博士学位科学家。该委员会将为指导委员会提供有关如何改善UPCH博士课程的课程的建议。
