PROJECT ABSTRACT Nigeria faces an increasing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), leading to an estimated 29% of all deaths in the country. In spite of this, contemporary data demonstrate low implementation of recommended public health and clinical cardiovascular interventions, including the WHO's Best Buys for NCDs in the country. The 2019 Nigerian Multisectoral Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of NCDs demonstrates the country's commitment and prioritization to NCD prevention and control across the lifespan and within primary care settings. However, there are a limited number of Nigerian investigators, early stage investigators, and trainees with the necessary skills, training, and experiences to implement and build upon this plan to improve cardiovascular health and patient-centered care. In this grant, we propose to strengthen implementation science, clinical trial, and patient-centered outcomes research capacity within the University of Abuja, University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, and their partners. Our long-term goal is to build a cadre of multidisciplinary researchers who will develop a high-quality, contextualized evidence base to improve implementation and sustainment of recommended public health and clinical strategies for better population and individual-level cardiovascular health and outcomes. The University of Abuja has a successful track record of NIH-funded cardiovascular health research programs with a growing faculty of accomplished investigators. Our novel, multidisciplinary training program in cardiovascular implementation science, clinical trials, and patient-centered outcomes research will support short-, medium-, and long-term trainings combined with capacity building in mentorship and curriculum design for sustainability. Aim 1. Build capacity and experience in University of Abuja cardiovascular researchers to design and conduct cardiovascular implementation science, clinical trials, and patient-centered outcomes research in Nigeria. Aim 2. Develop a team of faculty leaders and mentors at University of Abuja who are able to provide mentorship and training for new cardiovascular investigators and sustain the cardiovascular research agenda. Aim 3. Advance in-country cardiovascular research agenda by formally integrating courses in implementation science, clinical trials, and patient-centered outcomes research training into existing degree programs. This grant will support 5 post-doctoral fellows, 2 Master's degrees, and 2 PhD students through medium- and long-term training. Short-term cardiovascular research skill building, mentorship, and teaching and curriculum design workshops will train >250 participants in research methods, mentorship, and teaching. Annual symposia will provide opportunities for the broader community of cardiovascular and NCD researchers to disseminate their research and form new collaborations. Through this program, we will train a new generation of independent Nigerian investigators, mentoring them on the path to independence, and leading the way for University of Abuja to become a center for excellence for cardiovascular research in Nigeria.

项目摘要 尼日利亚面临日益沉重的非传染性疾病（NCD）负担，包括心血管疾病 疾病（CVD），估计占该国所有死亡人数的 29%。尽管如此，当代数据 表明建议的公共卫生和临床心血管干预措施实施率较低， 包括世界卫生组织针对该国非传染性疾病的最佳购买方案。 2019 年尼日利亚多部门行动计划 非传染性疾病防控体现了国家对非传染性疾病预防的承诺和优先重视 并在整个生命周期和初级保健机构内进行控制。不过，数量有限 尼日利亚调查员、早期调查员和受训人员具备必要的技能、培训和能力 实施并在此基础上发展该计划以改善心血管健康和以患者为中心的护理的经验。 在这笔赠款中，我们建议加强实施科学、临床试验和以患者为中心的 阿布贾大学、阿布贾大学教学医院的成果研究能力及其 合作伙伴。我们的长期目标是建立一支多学科研究人员队伍，培养高素质、 情境证据库，以改善建议的公共卫生和维持措施的实施和维持 改善人群和个人心血管健康和结果的临床策略。大学 阿布贾的研究中心在美国国立卫生研究院 (NIH) 资助的心血管健康研究项目方面拥有成功的记录，并且该项目的研究数量不断增长 师资力量卓著的研究人员。我们新颖的多学科心血管培训计划 实施科学、临床试验和以患者为中心的结果研究将支持短期、中期、 长期培训与可持续发展指导和课程设计方面的能力建设相结合。 目标 1. 培养阿布贾大学心血管研究人员设计和实施的能力和经验 尼日利亚的心血管实施科学、临床试验和以患者为中心的结果研究。 目标 2. 在阿布贾大学培养一支由教师领导和导师组成的团队，他们能够提供 为新的心血管研究人员提供指导和培训，并维持心血管研究议程。 目标 3. 通过正式整合实施课程来推进国内心血管研究议程 将科学、临床试验和以患者为中心的结果研究培训纳入现有学位课程。 这笔资助将支持 5 名博士后、2 名硕士和 2 名博士生通过中等教育。 以及长期的培训。短期心血管研究技能培养、指导和教学 课程设计研讨会将在研究方法、指导和教学方面对超过 250 名参与者进行培训。 年度研讨会将为更广泛的心血管和非传染性疾病研究人员提供机会 传播他们的研究成果并形成新的合作。通过这个项目，我们将培养一个新的 一代独立的尼日利亚调查员，指导他们走上独立之路，并领导他们 阿布贾大学成为尼日利亚心血管研究卓越中心的道路。
