Project Summary/Abstract This program is a response to the growing burden of trauma and injuries (inclusive of intentional and unintentional trauma and injuries; henceforth ‘T&I’), the acute and chronic consequences of T&Is and their risk factors (alcohol, speed, urbanization) and their social and economic consequences which are all neglected public health issues in Zambia. Two critical gaps in addressing T&Is in Zambia are a lack of trained human resources and limited data on health, social and economic impacts. The overall goal of the United States- Zambia Trauma and Injury Research Training Program (US-Zambia TIRP) is to strengthen research capacity on the health, social and economic impact of trauma and injuries across the lifespan in Zambia through an innovative model of sustainable capacity development. Our approach will be based on close collaboration between two institutions–the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health (GWSPH), USA and University of Zambia School of Public Health (UNZA-SPH), Zambia – each with a great commitment to understanding the impact of T&Is, experience and expertise in research, and a history of collaborative work. The specific aims of US-Zambia TIRP are: aim 1: to develop a core group of researchers focused on T&Is in Zambia. This aim will allow for the development of research expertise focused on the health, social and economic impact of T&Is at key institutions in Zambia. Aim 2: To promote research around key national priorities for T&Is in Zambia. We will enhance the production of relevant research on T&Is in Zambia around three domains: (a) documentation and measurement of risk factors (e.g. alcohol, speeding, emergencies); (b) the evaluation of interventions that will address major trauma and mass casualties (e.g. humanitarian emergencies, natural disasters); and (c) exploration of the social and functional impact of T&Is across the lifespan. Aim 3: To develop a T&I “Research to Policy (RTP) Forum” in Zambia. Under this aim, we will use the experience of our institutional collaborations and the national standing of UNZA-SPH to promote the utilization of research evidence on the impact of T&Is on communities to influence appropriate policy in Zambia. We will co-host an RTP symposium in collaboration with the Zambian Ministry of Health for an annual dialogue on T&Is; this platform will involve the focal point for T&Is in the Ministry of Health, Government of Zambia, while UNZA will be the secretariat. Aim 4: To create a formal ‘Center for T&I research’ in Zambia. We will complement individual training by working with UNZA to establish a center for research that provides a home for faculty across Zambia and enhances sustainability of our efforts. This program will be housed within the UNZA but will serve the country and will work to support research and training on T&Is. In summary, we are proposing an innovative US-Zambia TIRP that transforms the T&I research landscape in an increasingly research-intensive country in sub-Saharan Africa. We will implement a capacity development model for Zambia by Zambians with technical assistance from the US to address a major gap in the health research enterprise.

项目摘要/摘要 该计划是对创伤和伤害日益严格烧伤的回应（包括故意和 无意的创伤和伤害；此后，“ T＆i”），T＆的急性和慢性后果及其风险 因素（酒精，速度，城市化）及其社会和经济后果都被忽略了 赞比亚的公共卫生问题。在赞比亚解决T＆S的两个关键差距是缺乏训练的人 资源和有关健康，社会和经济影响的数据有限。美国的总体目标 - 赞比亚创伤和伤害研究培训计划（US-ZAMBIA TIRP）是为了加强研究 赞比亚的整个生命周期对创伤和伤害的健康，社会和经济影响的能力 通过可持续能力发展的创新模型。我们的方法将基于亲密 两个机构之间的合作 - 乔治华盛顿大学米尔肯学院公立学校 美国卫生（GWSPH）和赞比亚的赞比亚公共卫生学院（UNZA-SPH），每个人都有 致力于了解T＆IS的影响，经验和专业知识的影响，以及 协作工作。 US-Zambia Tirp的具体目的是：目标1：开发核心研究人员群体 专注于T＆在赞比亚。这个目标将允许发展研究专业知识 T＆的健康，社会和经济影响是赞比亚的主要机构。目标2：促进研究 T＆在赞比亚的主要国家优先事项。我们将增强有关T＆IN的相关研究的生产 赞比亚附近三个领域：（a）危险因素的文档和测量（例如酒精，超速， 紧急情况）； （b）评估将解决重大创伤和大规模伤亡的干预措施（例如 人道主义紧急情况，自然灾害）； （c）探索T＆的社会和功能影响 整个生命周期。目标3：在赞比亚开发一个T＆I“研究对政策（RTP）论坛”。在这个目标下，我们 将利用我们的机构合作和UNZA-SPH的国家地位的经验来促进 利用有关T＆S对社区影响影响适当政策影响的研究证据的利用 赞比亚。我们将与赞比亚卫生部合作举办RTP研讨会 关于T＆IS的对话；该平台将涉及T＆IS卫生部的焦点， 赞比亚，而UNZA将是秘书处。目标4：在赞比亚创建正式的“ T＆I研究中心”。我们 将通过与UNZA合作建立研究中心，以补充个人培训 整个赞比亚教师的家，并增强了我们努力的可持续性。该程序将安置在 UNZA，但将为该国服务，并将努力支持T＆IS的研究和培训。总而言之，我们 正在提出一种创新的美桑比亚TIRP，该TIRP改变了T＆I的研究景观 撒哈拉以南非洲的研究密集型国家。我们将为赞比亚实施能力开发模型 赞比亚人在美国的技术援助下解决了卫生研究企业的主要差距。
