Project Summary/Abstract Tuberculosis (TB) is still an overwhelming infectious in Southeast Asia, especially in remote geographical areas and among the minority ethnic group due to socio-economic constraints. Based on " Administrative Supplements to Fogarty International Center's (FIC) Training Grants to Promote Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) diversity (NOT-TW-23-006)", there is a need to provide opportunity for under-represented group to join research career. Researchers who are from this disadvantage group are few due to inequity in opportunity in higher education in LMICs (Low- and Middle-income Countries). The current proposal is prepared to serve this purpose. Our parental project " TB/MDR-TB Research training and Capacity Strengthening for LMIC in Southeast Asia " D43TW009522 is based in Southern Thailand and includes provinces of Sumatra Island of Indonesia. Both areas have minority ethnic groups with poor access to scientific research education. Given that our training program has successful records in training new TB scientists to serve the areas, our program is in good position to expand the opportunity to these under-represented group by provide them with training on TB research. Here we have two target groups in these two countries. The first group is a small group of Muslim women who are faculty members of Faculty of Science and Technology, Pattani Campus of PSU. They hold PhD degrees and teach statistics but have only little exposure to the modern sciences of tuberculosis, especially Bioinformatics and other bio-medical data sciences. The specific aims for training of this group include enhancing the trainees' understanding in Bioinformatics and other related bio-medical data sciences to enable them to participate in ongoing TB research activities. Training of these two scientists from the under-representative group will lead to more diversification of TB scientists for Thailand, who work in the under-privileged region of the country. The training sites include Faculty of Medicine of PSU, Hatyai Campus and Faculty of Science and Faculty of Medicine, Siriraj Hospital of Mahidol University, Bangkok. The trainees will spend 4 weeks at each site followed by research activities at their home institution. The second target research trainees are young university bachelor graduates from Sumatra Indonesia who are from communities of minority ethnic groups. They are working with PSU alumni in Indonesia who are leading TB laboratory researchers in Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU) of North Sumatra and Discipline of Statistics of Universitas Syiah Kuala (SKU) of Aceh Province of Indonesia. The training will be arranged at each university followed by involvement of the trainees on local TB research activities. At the end of the year, all trainees will have debriefing and summary activities at the Department of Epidemiology, PSU, which is the main training site of the current D43 grant) for one week.

项目摘要/摘要 结核病（TB）仍然是东南亚的压倒性传染性，尤其是在偏远的地理上 由于社会经济的限制，领域以及少数族裔群体之间。基于“管理 补充Fogarty International Center（FIC）培训补助金，以促进多样性，公平和包容性 （DEI）多样性（非TW-23-006）”，有必要为代表性不足的团体提供机会 加入研究职业。来自这个劣势群体的研究人员很少是由于不平等 LMIC（低收入和中等收入国家）的高等教育机会。当前的建议是 准备服务于此目的。 我们的父母项目“东南亚的LMIC TB/MDR-TB研究培训和能力增强” D43TW009522总部位于泰国南部，包括印度尼西亚苏门答腊岛的省。 这两个领域的少数族裔群体获得科学研究教育的机会很差。鉴于我们的 培训计划在培训新的结核病科学家方面拥有成功的记录，以服务于该领域，我们的计划是 通过向他们提供这些代表性不足的群体的机会，可以将机会扩大 结核病研究培训。 在这两个国家，我们有两个目标群体。 第一组是一小群穆斯林妇女，她们是科学学院的教职员工 技术，PSU的Pattani校园。他们拥有博士学位并教授统计数据，但只有很少的 暴露于结核病的现代科学，尤其是生物信息学和其他生物医学数据 科学。培训该小组的具体目的包括增强学员的理解 生物信息学和其他相关的生物医学数据科学，使他们能够参与持续的结核病 研究活动。对这两位科学家的培训将导致 在泰国的结核病科学家的更多多样化，他们在繁琐地区的工作 国家。培训网站包括PSU医学院，Hatyai校园和科学学院以及 曼谷Mahidol University Siriraj医院医学院。学员将在 每个站点随后在其家庭机构进行研究活动。 第二个目标研究学员是来自苏门答腊印度尼西亚的年轻大学学士学位毕业生 来自少数族裔社区的人。他们正在与印度尼西亚的PSU校友合作 谁是北苏门答腊和 印度尼西亚亚齐省Syiah Kuala大学统计学学科。培训将是 在每所大学安排，随后受训人员参与本地结核病研究活动。 在年底，所有学员将在部门进行汇报和汇总活动 流行病学，PSU，这是当前D43赠款的主要培训地点）。
