ABSTRACT Chronic cardiometabolic and renal disorders are rapidly growing public health problems in low- and middle- income countries (LMICs) such as Ethiopia. Responses to chronic conditions in LMICs are limited by a lack of adequate research capacity and translation of established evidence into practice and policy. Although a great deal of attention has been given to implementation science, there remains very few funded initiatives to strengthen the capacity of team science as it relates to implementation and research, and none have examined chronic conditions. In addition, there are very few mid-to-senior level career mentors in LMICs who can support individuals and teams to work effectively towards practice and policy changes. We propose to address these limitations through sustainable multidisciplinary research using implementation and team science in Ethiopia. Teams from Emory University, Addis Ababa University (AAU) and Bahir Dar University co-designed the Training on ImplemenTAtioN and team Science for NCD Control (TITANS) program in Ethiopia. This program will provide a unique opportunity to strengthen capacity within and between higher education institutions in an urban setting (Addis Ababa University) and a rural setting (Bahir Dar University) in Ethiopia. Within each institution in Ethiopia, we will bring together a team of researchers from nursing, medicine, and public health backgrounds to address pressing NCD prevention and control implementation issues across the lifespan using a team science approach. We will recruit 24 trainees (two per discipline per year, 24 total for four years). The postdoctoral trainees will spend 4-months on the Emory campus taking selected courses and will develop an interdisciplinary team science project to be implemented over the following 8-months in Ethiopia with guidance from in-country and Emory mentors. We will leverage graduates from our other successful D43 training programs in Ethiopia to provide sustainable in-country mentorship. To strengthen our partner LMIC institutions from within, we will deliver our successful annual short course on implementation science and team science that can cultivate organizational management skills. TITANS will better ensure high in-country retention of trainees by providing stipends, local mentorship, embedding trainee projects in existing platforms, and motivating a culture of scholarly productivity. This program aspires to facilitate locally driven research that will shape chronic disease initiatives and policies in Ethiopia.

抽象的 慢性心脏代谢和肾脏疾病正在迅速发展，在低和中间的公共卫生问题 收入国家（LMIC），例如埃塞俄比亚。对LMIC中慢性病的反应受到缺乏的限制 足够的研究能力以及已既有证据为实践和政策的翻译。虽然很棒 对实施科学的关注，仍然很少有资金的倡议 加强与实施和研究有关的团队科学的能力，没有人检查 慢性条件。此外，LMIC中很少有中级职业导师可以支持 个人和团队有效地致力于实践和政策变化。我们建议解决这些问题 使用埃塞俄比亚实施和团队科学的可持续多学科研究局限性。 来自埃默里大学，亚的斯亚贝巴大学（AAU）和巴希尔·达大学（Bahir Dar University）共同设计的团队 埃塞俄比亚的NCD控制（泰坦）计划实施和团队科学培训。这个程序 将提供一个独特的机会，以增强高等教育机构之间和之间的能力 埃塞俄比亚的城市环境（亚的斯亚贝巴大学）和农村环境（巴希尔达大学）。在每个内部 埃塞俄比亚的机构，我们将组建一个来自护理，医学和公共卫生的研究人员团队 背景以解决整个生命周期的NCD预防和控制实施问题的背景 团队科学方法。我们将招募24名学员（每学科2个，四年共有24名）。这 博士后学员将在埃默里（Emory）校园里花4个月的时间参加选定的课程，并将开发一个 跨学科团队科学项目将在以下8个月内在埃塞俄比亚实施 来自国内和埃默里的导师。我们将利用其他成功的D43培训的毕业生 埃塞俄比亚的计划提供可持续的国内指导。加强我们的合作伙伴LMIC机构 从内部，我们将提供有关实施科学和团队科学的成功年度短期课程 可以培养组织管理技能。泰坦将更好地确保国内保留 通过提供津贴，当地指导，将实习生项目嵌入现有平台中以及 激发学术生产力的文化。该计划渴望促进本地驱动的研究 塑造埃塞俄比亚的慢性疾病倡议和政策。
