Project Summary In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), outbreaks of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases (EID/REID) have increased since the turn of the millennium. The 2014 Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak in West Africa that resulted in more than 28,000 cases and 11,000 deaths, exposed critical gaps in the region’s capacity to conduct EID/REID research, such as: the lack of clinical experience in EVD; poor health systems infrastructure; the small pool of researchers with expertise and experience in clinical research conduct; and ill-equipped ethical review systems. Research training programs focused on expanding the pool of highly skilled infectious disease research professionals are needed to bridge the aforementioned capacity gaps. Riding on existing collaborations between Makerere University (Uganda) and the University of Minnesota (USA), the consortium led by Makerere University Walter Reed Project (MUWRP) proposes to develop a research training program focusing on research training in EID/REID with emphasis on viral hemorrhagic fevers, anthrax and zoonotic influenza as prioritized by Uganda’s National One Health Platform. The proposed training program shall leverage the established research and training expertise of the participating institutions. The proposed training program planning process objectives are to: 1) identify priority training gaps and resources needed to undertake the proposed training program; 2) develop a robust strategy/plan for developing a multidisciplinary EID/REID research training program and define the roles of collaborating institutions; 3) define a pool of the best potential trainees and trainee recruitment strategies; and 4) prepare and submit a D43 application for the proposed training program. To achieve these objectives, the consortium shall utilize a consultative approach consisting of two face-to-face consortium meetings, one consultative workshop with key stakeholders, three local workshop meetings with all Ugandan-based collaborators and stakeholders, nine in-depth interviews with subject-matter experts, and several desk review activities. The planning process activities will be spearheaded by a Steering Committee headed by the Program Director and working through various Technical Working Groups. The day-to-day coordination of planning process activities shall be entrusted to the Planning Process Coordinator, who shall work closely with the Steering Committee and the Program Director.

项目摘要 在撒哈拉以南非洲（SSA）中，出现和重新出现传染病的爆发 自千年之交以来（开斋节/里德）有所增加。 2014年埃博拉病毒疾病 （EVD）西非爆发，导致28,000多人死亡，死亡11,000例 该地区进行开斋节/REID研究的能力的关键差距很大，例如：缺乏 EVD的临床经验；卫生系统基础设施差；少数研究人员 具有临床研究行为方面的专业知识和经验；和设备不足的道德审查 系统。研究培训计划的重点是扩大高技能的库 需要传染病研究专业人员来弥合近似能力 空白。骑马，马克塞雷大学（乌干达）与 明尼苏达大学（美国），由Makerere大学沃尔特·里德（Walter Reed）项目领导的财团 （MUWRP）制定研究培训计划的建议，重点是 开斋节/里德（Reid 由乌干达的国家健康平台优先考虑。拟议的培训计划应 利用参与机构的既定研究和培训专家。这 拟议的培训计划计划过程的目标是：1）确定优先培训差距 以及进行拟议的培训计划所需的资源； 2）发展强大 制定多学科开斋节/REID研究培训计划的策略/计划 定义合作机构的角色； 3）定义一个最好的潜在培训的池 实习生招聘策略； 4）准备并提交D43申请 培训计划。为了实现这些目标，财团应利用协商 包括两个面对面财团会议组成的方法，一个与 关键利益相关者，与所有位于乌干达的合作者和 利益相关者，对主题专家的九次深入访谈以及几个桌面评论 活动。计划过程活动将由指导委员会率领 由计划主管领导，并通过各种技术工作组工作。这 规划过程活动的日常协调应承诺进行计划 流程协调员，应与指导委员会和计划紧密合作 导演。
