 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We employ a progressive stepwise method of selecting and training young investigators. This stepwise training method permits screening of candidates at multiple levels and ensures that we invest in the most highly qualified and motivated individuals. In this application, we propose to develop a new program to extend our training to achieve a critical mass of researchers in Bolivia, where we are beginning to build local expertise. The proximity of Bolivia to Peru provides us with a unique opportunity to leverage the human capacity and infrastructure that we have built in Peru over the last 20 years, using a South-South training approach to more cost-effectively begin to build a scientific research community in Bolivia. There are several infectious diseases affecting public health in Bolivia, and we plan to focus our training on a few of the most important to the country: Chagas disease, cysticercosis, tuberculosis (TB), pneumonia, and HIV neurological co-infections. Over the past 25 years, we have developed a training network of developing and developed country institutions that is remarkable for its breadth, depth and sustainability. This program began with a focus on Peru, and has trained more than 90 Peruvian graduate and post-graduate students and 400 students of other nationalities, and the collaborative network of individuals and institutions tied to this grant has produced more than 350 original research articles in peer-reviewed journals. This network and infrastructure developed in our original program in Peru will be leveraged in the new proposed program to train researchers in Bolivia. We have the following steps in our program that will be completed under this D43 grant: Step 1. We will train 20+ students each year in infectious disease and research methods seminars in Bolivia, for a total of 100+ students during the 5 year grant. Step 2. We will train five students per year in laboratory rotations in Bolivia, for a total of 25 trainees during the 5 year grant. Step 3. We wil train two students per year in laboratory rotations at the UPCH, for a total of 10 trainees during the 5 year grant. Step 4. We will train two Bolivian students per year in a Master's degree program at UPCH, for a total of ten trainees during the five year grant. Step 5. We will support six Bolivian students to attend the Tropical Medicine and Public Health Summer Institute at JHSPH during the five year grant.

 描述（由应用程序提供）：我们采用渐进式方法来选择和培训年轻调查人员。这种逐步培训方法允许在多个级别上筛选候选人，并确保我们投资于最合格和融合的个人。在此应用程序中，我们建议开发一项新计划，以扩展我们的培训，以实现玻利维亚的重要研究人员，在那里我们开始建立本地专业知识。玻利维亚与秘鲁的距离为我们提供了一个独特的机会，以利用过去20年来我们在秘鲁建造的人类能力和基础设施，采用南南训练方法，以更具成本效益的方式开始在玻利维亚建立科学研究社区。玻利维亚有几种影响公共卫生的传染病，我们计划将培训集中在对该国最重要的一些培训上：Chagas病，囊肿，结核病，结核病（TB），肺炎和HIV神经系统共同感染。在过去的25年中，我们建立了一个发展和发达国机构的培训网络，该网络以其广度，深度和可持续性而着称。该计划始于秘鲁的关注，并培训了90多名秘鲁毕业生和研究生以及其他国籍的400名学生，与该赠款相关的个人和机构的合作网络已在同行评审期刊上生产了350多种原始研究文章。我们在秘鲁的原始计划中开发的网络和基础架构将在培训玻利维亚研究人员的新计划中利用。我们的计划中有以下步骤，该步骤将根据D43 Grant完成：步骤1。我们每年将在玻利维亚的传染病和研究方法中培训20多名学生，在5年赠款中总共有100多名学生。步骤2。我们每年将培训五名学生在玻利维亚的实验室轮换，在5年赠款期间总共有25名学员。步骤3。我们每年将在UPCH的实验室轮换中培训两名学生，在5年赠款期间总共有10名学员。第4步。我们将每年在UPCH的硕士学位课程中培训两名玻利维亚学生，在五年赠款期间总共有十名学员。第5步。我们将支持六名玻利维亚学生参加五年赠款期间JHSPH的热带医学和公共卫生夏季研究所。
