7. Project Summary/Abstract Peru is rapidly increasing in stature in public health research, and many successful Peruvian-US research teams have expanded research capacity through training grants based in major universities in Lima. Many of these partnerships have satellite activities to study tropical diseases in Iquitos, the major city in the Peruvian Amazon, but these research and capacity building activities have largely bypassed academic institutions in Iquitos. This D43 training grant is specifically designed to address and correct this disparity, offering a collaborative research training program in partnership with the Universidad Nacional de la Amazonia Peruana (UNAP; National University of the Peruvian Amazon), the largest health education institution in the region. Our goal is to expand the local workforce of highly trained professionals with public health and infectious diseases research skills, which we propose to achieve by forming a collaborative Master’s degree program based at UNAP for six competitively selected health professionals, leading to a Master’s degree in Public Health from UNAP and a Certificate in International Research in Infectious Diseases from the consortium training program. This intensive, mentored training program with both north-south and south-south training components will be led by faculty from four collaborating institutions (UNAP, Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia [the leading biomedical research university in Peru, located in Lima], Tulane, and Johns Hopkins). The program will be fully integrated with the standard Peruvian training program for health professionals, allowing for trainees to complete their academic and field service requirements while benefiting from the intensive training during programed gap periods and during the standard two-year MPH program at UNAP, while adding less than six months to their total training period. The majority of the training will be conducted locally at UNAP through training modules and online components, although three months of the initial training period will be carried out at Johns Hopkins as part of the Summer Institute of Epidemiology and Biostatistics and the Summer Institute of Tropical Medicine and Public Health. We will supplement the two-year MPH program at UNAP with complementary, short-term training modules led by Tulane, Johns Hopkins, and UPCH faculty that will be open to all MPH students in the UNAP program, expanding the impact of the training program to approximately 80 additional trainees. Working closely with UNAP faculty, we will integrate new program content into the existing MPH curriculum, providing sustainable, ongoing benefits for future UNAP MPH classes. MPH trainees will conclude their training by taking a leading role in writing and assembling a CONCYTEC proposal (Consejo Nacional de Ciencia, Tecnología, e Innovación Tecnológica [Nacional Counsel on Science, Technology, and Technological Innovation], the premier scientific funding agency in Peru) under the direction of a mentoring team. One-month short courses during Years 2-5 for training community field workers and laboratory support staff will also be offered, expanding the pool of research program support staff in Iquitos.

7。项目摘要/摘要 秘鲁在公共卫生研究中的身材迅速提高，许多成功的秘鲁 - 美国研究 团队通过基于利马的主要大学的培训补助金扩大了研究能力。许多 这些伙伴关系有卫星活动，以研究秘鲁人的主要城市伊基托斯的热带疾病 亚马逊，但是这些研究和能力建设活动在很大程度上绕过了学术机构 iquitos。该D43培训补助金的专门设计用于解决和纠正这一差异，提供了 合作研究培训计划与佩鲁阿纳大学合作 （Unap；秘鲁国立大学亚马逊大学），该地区最大的健康教育机构。我们的 目标是扩大患有公共卫生和传染病的训练有素的专业人士的当地劳动力 研究技能，我们建议通过组建一个协作硕士学位课程来实现这一目标 取消六名竞争选择的卫生专业人员，从而获得公共卫生硕士学位 从财团培训计划中解开国际传染病研究证书。 这个密集的修补培训计划，包括南北和南南训练组件 由四个合作机构的教师领导（Unap，佩鲁阿纳·卡耶塔诺·埃雷迪亚（Peruana Cayetano Heredia）大学 位于秘鲁的生物医学研究大学，位于利马]，杜兰和约翰·霍普金斯大学。该程序将完全 与标准的秘鲁卫生专业人员培训计划集成，使学员可以 完成他们的学术和现场服务要求，同时从中受益于深度培训 编程的差距期以及UNAP的标准两年MPH计划期间，同时增加了少于六个 到他们的总培训期。大多数培训将在Unap上通过 培训模块和在线组件，尽管将在初始培训期间进行三个月 在约翰·霍普金斯（Johns Hopkins）作为夏季流行病学与生物统计学研究所的一部分和夏季研究所 热带医学和公共卫生。我们将在Unap上补充两年MPH计划 完全，由Tulane，Johns Hopkins和Upch教师领导的短期培训模块将开放 对于Unap计划中的所有MPH学生，将培训计划的影响扩大到大约80 额外的学员。与Unap教师紧密合作，我们将将新的程序内容整合到现有 MPH课程，为未来的Unap MPH课程提供可持续的，持续的利益。 MPH学员会 通过在撰写和组装ConcyTec提案中扮演领导角色来遏制他们的培训（Consejo Nacional de Ciencia，Tecnología，EInnovaciónTecnológica[科学，技术的Nacional顾问和 技术创新]，秘鲁的首要科学资助机构） 团队。在2 - 5年中，为期一个月的短课程，用于培训社区现场工作人员和实验室支持 还将提供员工，扩大Iquitos的研究计划支持人员。
