DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The University of Alabama at Birmingham (DAB) ITREOH, a collaborative research training effort with the Aga Khan University (AKU) of Karachi, Pakistan, seeks to expand its training and research collaboration in South Asia. South Asian countries, including Pakistan, are transitioning from an agrarian to an industrialized economy with a myriad of new environmental and occupational health (EOH) concerns. There are no university-based training programs in this region specifically designed to train the necessary professionals to take on these challenges. The UAB-AKU partnership has resulted in the establishment of a core group of researchers/trainers at AKU who have developed skills in environmental epidemiology, who provide input at the nation level, and have implemented an EOH certificate program at AKU. Our new proposal includes two other principal partner institutions that were identified during our regional training efforts, the Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) in India and the Ministry of Health (MOH) in Sri Lanka. The proposed training program will focus on prevention and intervention research as applied to the mitigation of environmental and occupational hazards. A major highlight of the collaboration will be the development of an EOH graduate degree program at AKU. The specific aims of this research training program are: (1) Training - To establish and sustain EOH training infrastructure at partner institutions; (2) Research - To further enhance research skills and expand research capacity; (3) Resources - To develop additional resources to support ongoing and future training and research; and (4) Trainee Tracking - To track and document the long-term impact of research training. Training components will include short-term regional training that will consist of principle- and problem-based short courses; intermediate training at UAB or selected sites to enhance research skills, provide mentorship and funds for pilot research. A masters and doctoral degree will be offered as an option to exceptional candidates. Our goal is to develop a core group of trained, independent researchers who are recognized as having expertise in EOH issues and provide input into EOH policies at the national level. Further developing AKU's independence to provide regional leadership and expanding EOH research and training in South Asia that has the potential to translate into practice should be an excellent long-term investment of Fogarty resources.

描述（由申请人提供） 阿拉巴马大学伯明翰（DAB）Itreoh是巴基斯坦卡拉奇的Aga Khan大学（AKU）的合作研究培训工作，旨在扩大其在南亚的培训和研究合作。包括巴基斯坦在内的南亚国家正在从农业机构过渡到工业化经济，并有无数新的环境和职业健康（EOH）关注。该地区没有专门旨在培训必要的专业人员来应对这些挑战的基于大学的培训计划。 UAB-AKU合作伙伴关系导致建立了AKU的核心研究人员/培训师，他们在环境流行病学方面开发了技能，他们在国家一级提供了意见，并在AKU实施了EOH证书计划。我们的新建议包括在我们的区域培训工作中确定的其他两个主要合作伙伴机构，印度的Manipal高等教育学院（MAHE）和斯里兰卡的卫生部（MOH）。拟议的培训计划将重点介绍用于缓解环境和职业危害的预防和干预研究。合作的主要亮点将是在AKU开发EOH研究生学位课程。该研究培训计划的具体目的是：（1）培训 - 在合作机构建立和维持EOH培训基础设施； （2）研究 - 进一步提高研究技能并扩大研究能力； （3）资源 - 开发更多资源以支持正在进行的和未来的培训和研究； （4）受训者跟踪 - 跟踪和记录研究培训的长期影响。培训组成部分将包括短期区域培训，该培训将包括原则和基于问题的短期课程；在UAB或​​选定地点进行中级培训，以提高研究技能，为试点研究提供指导和资金。将提供硕士学位和博士学位，作为杰出候选人的选择。我们的目标是开发一个核心训练的独立研究人员，他们被公认为在EOH问题上具有专业知识，并在国家一级提供了EOH政策的意见。进一步发展AKU的独立性，以提供区域领导力并扩大有可能将其转化为实践的EOH研究和培训，这应该是Fogarty Resources的出色长期投资。
