Project Summary/Abstract: The University of Zimbabwe through its Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (UZFMHS) is the lead centre for medical research in Zimbabwe. Currently there is a dearth of researchers to address priority NCDs in Zimbabwe and sub-Saharan Africa in general. To address this gap this application will establish the ENRICH program (Enhancing Non-communicable diseases Research and Innovation Capacity in Harare, Zimbabwe) to train a critical mass of Investigators at the UZFMHS to become proficient in NCD research. Research training and capacity building will be conducted in Cardiovascular Diseases, Pulmonary Diseases, Hematology, Stroke and Neurological Diseases, Aging and Dental and Craniofacial Diseases. The long-term goal is to generate evidence for interventions to improve care for people with NCDs in Zimbabwe and sub-Saharan Africa. The objectives of the program are to: 1. To train entry level graduate trainees up to post-Doc trainees to undertake high level research on NCDs in Zimbabwe. 2. Identify high research priority topics across the lifespan in selected NCDs to provide the research scope for the ENRICH program. 3. To establish mentoring relationships between trainees and dedicated and experienced mentors using rigorous selection criteria. 4. Strengthen research dissemination and knowledge translation to inform policy and practice. The ENRICH program will be implemented by UZFMHS faculty assisted by faculty from regional and international partners i.e. WITS University and University of Colorado Denver respectively. In addition, the program will collaborate with UZFMHS affiliated research centers such as AiBST, UZ-CRC, UZ-CTRC, BRTI among others. The research training in the chosen scientific NCD areas have been selected because of the national and institutional importance/interest and the opportunity to address research deficiencies in those areas. The program will consist of integrated training framework involving long term degrees (Masters, PhDs, post-Docs), medium term technical courses and didactic short term courses. These formal training activities will be supported by mentorship and mentored projects. In addition, trainees will undertake attachments and electives at the affiliated research entities and UCD. The period of training vary with the level of training i.e. 2 years for Masters and Post-doctorals and 3 and half years for PhDs. The program will recruit 8 PhDs, 8 Masters and 4 post-Docs over a period of 5 years.

项目摘要/摘要：津巴布韦大学通过其医学与健康学院 科学（UZFMHS）是津巴布韦医学研究的主要中心。目前缺乏 研究人员总体上解决了津巴布韦和撒哈拉以南非洲的优先NCD。解决这个差距 该应用程序将建立丰富计划（增强非传染性疾病研究和 津巴布韦哈拉雷的创新能力）培训UZFMHS的大量调查人员成为 精通NCD研究。研究培训和能力建设将在心血管中进行 疾病，肺部疾病，血液学，中风和神经系统疾病，衰老和牙齿， 颅面疾病。长期目标是为改善人们的护理提供干预措施的证据 在津巴布韦和撒哈拉以南非洲的NCD。该计划的目标是： 1。培训入门级的研究生培训生，多达大多数学员，以对NCD进行高级研究 在津巴布韦。 2。确定选定NCD中整个寿命的高度研究优先主题，以提供研究范围 对于丰富程序。 3。使用 严格的选择标准。 4。加强研究传播和知识翻译以告知政策和实践。 富集计划将由区域教师和 国际合作伙伴，即威特大学和科罗拉多大学丹佛分别。另外， 计划将与UZFMHS附属研究中心合作，例如AIBST，UZ-CRC，UZ-CTRC，BRTI 等等。由于选择了所选科学NCD领域的研究培训 国家和机构的重要性/利益以及解决研究缺陷的机会 区域。该计划将包括涉及长期学位的综合培训框架（硕士，博士学位， 毕业后），中期技术课程和教学短期课程。这些正规培训活动 将得到指导和指导项目的支持。此外，学员将进行附件，并 分支研究实体和UCD的选修课。培训期随培训的水平而异，即 硕士和博士后2年，博士学位为3年和半年。该计划将招募8个博士学位，8博士 在5年的时间内，大师和4个邮政事故。
