 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This training program's goal is to strengthen TB research capacity, especially human resources of TB research at LMIC collaborating centers, namely the National Tuberculosis Program of Myanmar; Department of Medical Research Upper and Lower Myanmar; Bureau of Tuberculosis of Thailand (BTB); and University of North Sumatra (USU), Andalas University of West Sumatra (UNAND), and Syiah Kuala University of Aceh (SKU), Indonesia. The training program will focus on multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB), which is a major problem in the Southeast Asia region. This will eventually lead to better future control of TB and other global infectious diseases. The program objectives are to train researchers from collaborating centers (LMIC-Indonesia, Myanmar and Thailand) to achieve MSc/PhD in Epidemiology at Prince of Songkla University, with a special focus on MDR-TB research, and to provide short course training in TB Epidemiology/Biostatistics and TB laboratory science to various researchers of the collaborating centers. The long-term training to produce 6 PhD and 6 MSc graduates will be based at the Epidemiology Unit, Prince of Songkla University (EPI-PSU), experienced in producing over 130 epidemiological Doctoral and Master researchers to Asia and Africa. This is incorporated with supplementary short-term training at the Departments of Microbiology at Siriraj Hospital and Faculty of Science of Mahidol University (MICRO-MU), and at a center of excellence for TB research and TB field observation at Zonal TB Center 12 Yala (ZTC12). In addition, short-term training will be conducted at EPI-PSU to train 19 researchers and at MICRO-MU to train 14 researchers. All trainees will be initially selected by the target institutes from Myanmar, Indonesia and Thailand, and reviewed by a Training Advisory Group (TAG). The long-term training curriculum consists of one year coursework (shared by PhD and MSc programs) emphasizing Epidemiology/Biostatistics, Research Methodology, Responsible Conduct of Research, and data analysis. This is followed by data collection for research thesis related to MDR-TB (1 year for PhD and 6 months for MSc) at home institutes of the trainees. Finally, another year for the PhD and 6 months for the MSc trainees will be spent on data analysis and report writing at EPI-PSU. Apart from technical quality, arrangement has been made to ensure enough diversity of trainees, maximum retention and continuation of research career development after the training has been completed.

 描述（由申请人提供）：该培训计划的目标是加强结核病研究能力，特别是中低收入国家合作中心（即缅甸上下游结核病医学研究部）的结核病研究人力资源；泰国（BTB）；北苏门答腊大学（USU）、西苏门答腊安达拉斯大学（UNAND）和印度尼西亚亚齐亚瓜拉大学（SKU）。培训计划将重点关注耐多药结核病（MDR-TB），这是东南亚地区的一个主要问题，这最终将导致未来更好地控制结核病和其他全球传染病。该计划的目标是培训来自东南亚地区的研究人员。合作中心（中低收入国家-印度尼西亚、缅甸和泰国）在宋卡王子大学获得流行病学理学硕士/博士学位，特别关注耐多药结核病研究，并提供结核病短期课程培训流行病学/生物统计学和结核病实验室科学领域的各个研究人员将在宋卡王子大学流行病学部门（EPI-PSU）进行长期培训，以培养 6 名博士和 6 名硕士毕业生。 130 名流行病学博士和硕士研究人员前往亚洲和非洲，这与 Siriraj 医院微生物学系和 Mahidol 科学学院的补充短期培训相结合。大学 (MICRO-MU)，以及亚拉 12 区结核病中心 (ZTC12) 的结核病研究和结核病现场观察卓越中心。此外，还将在 EPI-PSU 和 19 名研究人员进行短期培训。 MICRO-MU将培训14名研究人员，所有学员将由来自缅甸、印度尼西亚和泰国的目标机构初步选拔，并由培训顾问小组（TAG）审核。长期培训课程为期一年。课程作业（由博士和理学硕士课程共享）强调流行病学/生物统计学、研究方法、负责任的研究行为和数据分析，随后是与耐多药结核病相关的研究论文的数据收集（博士为 1 年，理学硕士为 6 个月）。 ）最后，博士生还需要一年的时间，硕士生还需要六个月的时间在 EPI-PSU 进行数据分析和报告撰写。已做出安排，以确保受训者有足够的多样性，最大限度地保留并在培训完成后继续研究职业发展。
