PROJECT SUMMARY This D43 training grant is specifically designed to address and correct disparities in training opportunities for researchers in infectious diseases between programs based in the capital in Lima and remote areas in Peru. We offer a collaborative research training program in partnership with the Universidad Nacional de la Amazonia Peruana (UNAP), the largest health education institution in the region. Peru is estimated to be highly impacted by climate change, and the northern Amazon region is expected to experience extreme rainfall and flooding events alternating with an extension of periods of low rainfall resulting in droughts. However, the effects of climate change on health are complex and mediated by human adaptation and migration. To adequately forecast the effects of climate change on the transmission and prevalence of infectious diseases these factors must be understood at the local and regional level. This one year project will adapt and standardize a climate vulnerability indices to Loreto and apply the index in a representative sampling across high flooding risk areas and study human migration in Loreto. These activities will address key knowledge gaps that will enable reliable estimations of the impact of climate change on endemic enteric and vector borne diseases. This information will be an important baseline for the region to inform key stakeholders and provide them with standardized tools to measure vulnerability. This in turn will allow for the programmatic assessment of future mitigation strategies and assess changes in migratory patterns which are key determinants of endemic infectious diseases. The integrated structure of planned research and training will engage UNAP faculty in best practice methodologies for climate vulnerability research, enable the trainees to gain important practice in the conduct of representative sampling for population-based research, and ultimately transition our trainees into roles consistent with their medium-term career goals of becoming research faculty in UNAP. Doctoral students will be able to co-mentor other masters’ trainees through the integration of at least two additional trainees into the project. This intensive, mentored training program will be led by faculty from our four collaborating institutions (UNAP, University of Virginia, Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia [the leading biomedical research university in Peru], and Johns Hopkins University). The integrated transdisciplinary team of enteric infectious disease epidemiologists, demographers, earth and planetary scientists, data scientists, infectious disease modelers and local experts in tropical diseases expect to build on the described research activities to pursue expanded opportunities in the study of climate and health, specifically the effect of climate change on the epidemiology of enteric diseases, dengue, and malaria.

项目摘要 该D43培训补助金的专门旨在解决和纠正培训机会中的分布 基于首都利马和秘鲁偏远地区的计划之间的传染病研究人员。 我们与亚马逊大学合作提供了一项合作研究培训计划 佩鲁阿纳（Unap），该地区最大的健康教育机构。据估计，秘鲁受到高度影响 由于气候变化，预计北亚马逊地区将经历极端的降雨和洪水 事件随着降雨量低时期的延长而交替，导致干旱。但是，攀登的影响 健康变化是复杂的，并由人类的适应和迁移介导。充分预测 气候变化对传染病的传播和流行率的影响这些因素必须是 在本地和区域层面了解。这个一年的项目将适应气候脆弱性并标准化 loreto的指数并将指数应用于高洪水风险领域的代表抽样并研究 洛雷托的人类迁移。这些活动将解决关键知识差距，以实现可靠的估计 气候变化对内在肠和媒介传播疾病的影响。此信息将是 该地区的重要基准通知主要利益相关者并为他们提供标准化工具来衡量 脆弱性。反过来，这将允许对未来缓解策略和评估的程序评估 迁移模式的变化是内在传染病的关键决定者。集成 计划研究和培训的结构将吸引教师参与攀登的最佳实践方法 脆弱性研究，使学员能够在代表性抽样中获得重要的实践 用于基于人群的研究，并最终将我们的培训转变为与中期一致的角色 成为Unap研究教师的职业目标。博士生将能够授权其他硕士 通过将至少两名额外的学员整合到该项目中。这个密集的指导 培训计划将由我们的四个合作机构（Unap，弗吉尼亚大学Unap）领导 佩鲁阿纳·卡耶塔诺·埃雷迪亚大学（Peruana Cayetano Heredia）[秘鲁的主要生物医学研究大学]和约翰·霍普金斯大学 大学）。肠道传染病流行病学家，人口统计学家，跨学科综合团队， 地球和行星科学家，数据科学家，传染病建模者和热带疾病的当地专家 期望建立在描述的研究活动的基础上，以在气候研究中寻求扩大的机会 健康，特别是气候变化对肠道疾病，登革热和疟疾流行病学的影响。
