ABSTRACT Growing Data-science Research in Africa to Stimulate Progress (GRASP) Efforts to address the increasing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Africa have been hugely impaired by the vast deficit of sustainable & indigenous research capacities & adequately qualified personnel vital for articulating personalized, context-specific interventions for African populations. Neurological disorders are a leading NCD cause of death and disability. Brain health, which determines brain capital, is central to achieving overall health and all sustainable development goals. However, the current DS-I Africa programs do not have a dedicated training program in brain health research to unravel its determinants, especially sociodemographic and lifestyle factors which play a major role elsewhere. GRASP is aimed at developing a sustainable cohort of scientists to tackle the brain health burden by improving the data science skill of selected African scholars to unravel sociodemographic determinants and dietary & lifestyle factors affecting brain health & cardiovascular risk using the SIREN, ARISES, CHAIR, & other relevant datasets in H3Africa & DS-I Africa consortia and beyond. This will include integrating sociodemographic data with cognitive, neuroimaging, genomics, climate & geographical data, in mentored research projects & consortia-related activities in a multidisciplinary team of five selected researchers-in-training & their elite mentors annually for three years. GRASP will increase the scholars' scientific knowledge, professional skills, motivation, & credentials in the field of translational data science research with a specific focus on Brain health with emphasis on identifying sociodemographic determinants and other markers and patterns in data from genomics, brain imaging, Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping & public health data. The training comprises a 9-month Postgraduate Certificate program that will include six (6) months of online training activities & a compulsory six (6) weeks intensive residency at the University of Ibadan (UI), Nigeria and a research project. Mentoring will be enhanced via mentor matching (content & analytic area) & peer mentoring networks. Each scholar in the Postgraduate Certificate program will be assigned to a mentor/supervisor (preferably a faculty member of the training or host institutions & mentoring will take place online or face-to-face based on the mentor/mentee preference).The effectiveness of GRASP will be monitored based on Scholar academic positions & publications; and funding for investigator-initiated research projects or career development awards. 1

抽象的 不断发展非洲数据科学研究以促进进步 (GRASP) 为解决非洲日益严重的非传染性疾病（NCD）负担所做的努力 因可持续和本土研究能力的巨大缺陷而受到严重损害& 足够合格的人员对于阐明个性化的、针对具体情况的干预措施至关重要 非洲人口。神经系统疾病是非传染性疾病导致死亡和残疾的主要原因。脑 健康决定脑资本，对于实现整体健康和所有可持续发展至关重要 发展目标。然而，目前的 DS-I Africa 项目没有专门的培训 脑健康研究计划，以揭示其决定因素，特别是社会人口和生活方式 其他地方发挥重要作用的因素。 GRASP 旨在培养一批可持续的科学家来解决大脑健康负担 通过提高选定的非洲学者的数据科学技能来揭示社会人口统计学 影响大脑健康和心血管风险的决定因素以及饮食和生活方式因素 SIREN、ARISES、CHAIR 以及 H3Africa 和 DS-I Africa 联盟中的其他相关数据集以及 超过。这将包括将社会人口统计数据与认知、神经影像、 基因组学、气候和地理数据，在指导研究项目和财团相关 由五名选定的受训研究人员及其精英导师组成的多学科团队的活动 每年一次，持续三年。 GRASP 将增加学者的科学知识、专业技能、动力和 转化数据科学研究领域的证书，特别关注大脑健康 重点是确定社会人口决定因素以及其他标记和模式 来自基因组学、脑成像、地理信息系统 (GIS) 制图和公共数据的数据 健康数据。培训包括为期 9 个月的研究生证书课程，其中包括 六 (6) 个月的在线培训活动和强制性的六 (6) 周集中实习 尼日利亚伊巴丹大学 (UI) 和一个研究项目。指导将通过导师得到加强 匹配（内容和分析领域）和同伴指导网络。研究生阶段的每位学者 证书课程将分配给一名导师/主管（最好是该学院的教职人员） 培训或主办机构和指导将根据情况在线或面对面进行 导师/受训者偏好）。GRASP 的有效性将根据学者进行监控 学术职位和出版物；以及资助研究者发起的研究项目或 职业发展奖。 1
