DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application proposes to build upon and expand an established training program which is a collaborative effort between the University of Washington School of Dentistry and affiliated Faculties of Dentistry at Khon Kaen University and Thammasat University in Thailand. It was established on the basis of previous collaborations between UW and Thai faculty that continue to this day. It proposes to continue offerings in short-term, medium-term, and long-term training programs in clinical, public health, and behavioral oral health research training for Thai faculty from collaborating institutions, while expanding to include faculty from other dental schools in Thailand as well as dental schools in the Greater Mekong Basin countries (Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam) thereby making the collaborating Thai dental schools resources for other dental schools in South East Asia. The training programs proposed include short-term one week workshops on clinical research methods held in Thailand and neighboring South East Asia countries, medium term 2- month training programs which involve attendance at the Summer Institute in Clinical Dental Research Methods in Seattle, and long-term training programs which include a year working in Seattle on existing research projects, taking advanced coursework, and planning a dissertation research project, followed by a year conducting the research project in Thailand. The program is designed to attract students to and enhance the Ph.D. in Oral Science offered at Khon Kaen and Thammasat Universities in Thailand by offering access to additional clinical, public health, and behavioral oral health research methodology and research experience to Thai Ph.D. students at UW, especially for students who are in Ph.D. pathways that emphasize clinical, public health, and/or behavioral research. Director of the program is Dr. Timothy A. DeRouen, Professor and Executive Associate Dean for Research and Academic Affairs in the School of Dentistry at UW; Associate Director is Dr. Waranuch Pitiphat, Associate Dean for Research, Graduate Studies, and International Programs in the Faculty of Dentistry at Khon Kaen University. Chair of the Program Advisory Committee is Dr. Prathip Phantumvanit, former Dean of Dentistry at both Thammasat and Khon Kaen Universities. Upon completion of the proposed 5-year funding, approximately 75-90 dentists and graduate students from Thailand and other South East Asian countries will have participated in workshops, 34 will have participated in the UW Summer Institute in Clinical Dental Research Methods, and 6 will have completed Ph.D.'s at the Thai institutions with enhanced long-term training through the University of Washington. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This proposal is to provide training in clinical, public health, and behavioral aspects of oral health research in Thailand, so it is directly relevant to the public health of the Thai population. RITIQUE 1: Training Program and Environment: 3 Training Program Director/Principal Investigator (PD/PI): 1 Preceptors/Mentors: 2 Trainees: 4 Training Record: 4 Overall Impact: This proposal seeks to strengthen the oral health research capacity in Thailand. It is responsive to this funding opportunity because the most prevalent oral diseases (caries and periodontal disease) can be managed under a medical model of prevention and risk-based care, typical of chronic disease management. They share common risk factors with systemic chronic disease and have an impact on systemic health. The implementation of this training program, a collaboration between the University of Washington, Khon Kaen University and Thammasat University is likely to have a significant impact on research capacity because 1) a history of research activity and training in oral health exists at these LMIC schools; 2) there are exceptional faculty and mentorship associated with the program with demonstrated success in oral health research training, 3) the program provides didactic training in the US but requires field and dissertation work to be accomplished in Thailand; 4) the trained faculty at these 2 Thai schools will serve as resources for other six Thai dental schools. The program expects to train 34 participants in the 2-month workshop, enroll 6 long-term PhD trainees and train another 50 participants in 1-week in-country workshops. 1. Training Program and Environment: Strengths * The oral health research training program at UW is exceptional, with an established record of successful training programs. * 3 levels of training creates a self-sustaining pipeline of faculty to move from the shortest training (1-week in-country workshops), to medium term training (2-month intensive didactic in the US) to PhD degree in-country training. * Builds on existing PhD programs in Oral Science in LMIC schools * Program coursework established with sufficient teaching faculty not dependent on this funding. * Established collaborations among the participating institutions. Weaknesses * One year for field work for dissertation project in Thailand may not be sufficient to carry out the project. * Multi-disciplinary training limited to interactions at US workshops through interactions with other US trainees. * No evidence of opportunities for interdisciplinary training in LMIC schools. 2. Training Program Director/Principal Investigator (PD/PI): Strengths * Established and extensive record of successful oral health training Weaknesses * None 3. Preceptors/Mentors: Strengths * Three strong leaders at the LMIC schools with research backgrounds Weaknesses * No clear description or evidence for depth of current faculty mentors at the Thai schools. * On-site mentorship will fall to a very small existing group - will that be sufficient for day-to-day training. * Local implementation of the dissertation project could be challenging and require support. 4. Trainees: Strengths * Will recruit dentists in diverse PhD programs, including basic, clinical, behavioral, and public health sciences; current pool is 16-20 PhD students from which to enroll 1-2 students per year for 4 years * Long-term trainees will need to have completed the equivalent of MS degree before starting PhD training Weaknesses * Vague description and no criteria for trainee selection. * Lead collaborators will serve as the selection committee 5. Training Record: Strengths * US training record is outstanding * 66 previous participants in 1-week workshops in Thailand documents existing relationships * 12 Thai faculty participated in previous Summer Training workshops at UW; 9 reported subsequent publications and evidence of funding, mostly institutional Weaknesses * One past trainee - only one abstract reported * 3 current trainees; 2 publications, one trainee has received internal funding Recruitment and Retention Plan to Enhance Diversity: Acceptable * Plan is acceptable Training in the Responsible Conduct of Research: Acceptable Comments on Format: * Lectures with case studies differs by training level Comments on Subject Matter: * Ethical issues in research with an emphasis on international studies Comments on Faculty Participation: * Various faculty which include the Education coordinator in office of human subjects and the retired director of the office of human subjects. These are acceptable. Comments on Duration: * Long term trainees participate in 2-month weekly Research Integrity series; 2 month trainees receive 2-hr lecture and discussion; in the 1-week workshops, there are 5 one-hour lectures. Comments on Frequency: * See above; 2-month trainees may need an additional session Budget and Period of Support: Recommend as Requested

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请旨在建立和扩展已建立的培训计划，该计划是华盛顿大学牙科学院与泰国孔敬大学和法政大学附属牙科学院之间的合作成果。它是在威斯康辛大学和泰国教师之前合作的基础上建立的，这种合作一直持续到今天。它建议继续为合作机构的泰国教师提供临床、公共卫生和行为口腔健康研究培训的短期、中期和长期培训项目，同时扩大到包括泰国其他牙科学校的教师以及大湄公河盆地国家（老挝、柬埔寨和越南）的牙科学校，从而为东南亚其他牙科学校提供合作的泰国牙科学校资源。拟议的培训计划包括在泰国和邻近的东南亚国家举办的为期一周的短期临床研究方法研讨会、为期 2 个月的中期培训计划（包括参加西雅图临床牙科研究方法夏季学院）以及长期培训计划。学期培训计划，其中包括在西雅图从事现有研究项目一年、学习高级课程并规划论文研究项目，然后在泰国进行一年的研究项目。该计划旨在吸引学生并提高博士学位。泰国孔敬大学和法政大学提供口腔科学博士学位，为泰国博士提供额外的临床、公共卫生和行为口腔健康研究方法和研究经验。华盛顿大学的学生，尤其是博士生。强调临床、公共卫生和/或行为研究的途径。该项目主任是威斯康星大学牙科学院教授兼研究和学术事务执行副院长 Timothy A. DeRouen 博士；副主任是 Waranuch Pitiphat 博士，他是孔敬大学牙科学院负责研究、研究生学习和国际项目的副院长。该项目咨询委员会主席是泰国国立法政大学和孔敬大学前牙科院长 Prathip Phantumvanit 博士。拟议的 5 年资助完成后，来自泰国和其他东南亚国家的约 75-90 名牙医和研究生将参加讲习班，其中 34 人将参加华盛顿大学临床牙科研究方法夏季学院，6 人将参加已在泰国机构完成博士学位，并通过华盛顿大学加强长期培训。 公共卫生相关性：该提案旨在为泰国口腔健康研究的临床、公共卫生和行为方面提供培训，因此与泰国人口的公共卫生直接相关。 礼仪 1： 培训计划和环境：3 培训项目主任/首席研究员（PD/PI）：1 导师/导师：2 学员：4名 训练记录：4 总体影响：该提案旨在加强泰国的口腔健康研究能力。 它对这一资助机会做出了反应，因为最常见的口腔疾病（龋齿和牙周病）可以在预防和基于风险的护理的医学模式下进行管理，这是典型的慢性病管理模式。 它们与全身性慢性疾病有共同的危险因素，并对全身健康产生影响。 华盛顿大学、孔敬大学和国立法政大学合作实施的这一培训计划可能会对研究能力产生重大影响，因为 1) 这些中低收入国家学校有口腔健康研究活动和培训的历史； 2) 该计划拥有杰出的师资和导师，在口腔健康研究培训方面取得了成功，3) 该计划在美国提供教学培训，但需要在泰国完成实地考察和论文工作； 4) 这2所泰国学校训练有素的教师将为其他6所泰国牙科学校提供资源。 该项目预计将在为期 2 个月的研讨会中培训 34 名参与者，招收 6 名长期博士生，并在为期 1 周的国内研讨会中培训另外 50 名参与者。 一、培训内容及环境： 优势 * 华盛顿大学的口腔健康研究培训计划非常出色，拥有成功的培训计划记录。 * 3个级别的培训创建了一个自我维持的教师渠道，从最短的培训（1周国内研讨会）到中期培训（在美国2个月的强化教学）再到博士学位国内培训。 * 以中低收入国家学校现有口腔科学博士课程为基础 * 项目课程由足够的师资力量建立，不依赖于这笔资金。 * 参与机构之间建立了合作关系。 弱点 * 在泰国进行一年的论文项目实地工作可能不足以开展该项目。 * 多学科培训仅限于在美国研讨会上通过与其他美国学员的互动进行互动。 * 没有证据表明中低收入国家学校有机会进行跨学科培训。 2. 培训项目主任/首席研究员（PD/PI）： 优势 * 已建立并广泛的成功口腔健康培训记录 弱点 * 没有任何 3. 导师/导师： 优势 * 三位具有研究背景的中低收入国家学校的强有力的领导者 弱点 * 没有明确的描述或证据证明泰国学校现任教师导师的深度。 * 现场指导将由现有的一个非常小的小组负责——这是否足以进行日常培训。 * 论文项目的本地实施可能具有挑战性并需要支持。 4. 学员： 优势 * 将招募不同博士项目的牙医，包括基础、临床、行为和公共卫生科学；目前有 16-20 名博士生，每年招收 1-2 名学生，为期 4 年 * 长期学员在开始博士培训之前需要完成相当于硕士学位的课程 弱点 * 描述模糊，没有实习生选择标准。 * 主要合作者将担任评选委员会 5、培训记录： 优势 * 美国培训记录出色 * 66 名之前在泰国参加为期 1 周研讨会的参与者记录了现有的关系 * 12名泰国教师参加了威斯康星大学之前的暑期培训班； 9 报告了后续出版物和资金证据，主要是机构资金 弱点 * 一名过去的实习生 - 仅报告了一份摘要 * 3名现任实习生； 2 篇出版物，1 名实习生获得内部资助 旨在增强多样性的招聘和保留计划： 可以接受 * 计划可以接受 负责任的研究行为培训： 可以接受 对格式的评论： * 带有案例研究的讲座因培训级别而异 对主题的评论： * 研究中的伦理问题，重点是国际研究 对教师参与的评论： * 各种教员，包括人类学科办公室的教育协调员和人类学科办公室的退休主任。 这些都是可以接受的。 对持续时间的评论： * 长期学员参加为期 2 个月的每周研究诚信系列活动； 2个月的学员接受2小时的讲座和讨论；在为期1周的研讨会中，有5场一小时的讲座。 对频率的评论： * 见上文； 2 个月的学员可能需要额外的课程 预算和支持期限： 按要求推荐
