DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Improvement in health for populations around the globe has become a leading international priority. As the world becomes progressively more interconnected, it is apparent that major global health burdens facing our international community will require an integrated approach that addresses political, socio-economic, cultural, legal, biological, and medical issues. Critical components of this approach include: (1) training future generations of global health researchers; (2) linking activities between centers in the US and the developing world; and (3) engagement of community stakeholders who are not formally part of the academic enterprise. One of the most important challenges facing global health education and research is bringing together individuals with diverse skills to create an integrated network that addresses the complexities of global heath issues. There is a critical mass of investigators at the University of New Mexico (UNM) to meet this challenge. The proposed UNM Framework Program for Global Health will bring together diverse faculty and leverage existing resources to create an integrated approach to research and training in global health. To accomplish this, a global health network will be formed between the School of Medicine and Public Health, College of Arts and Sciences, College of Pharmacy, School of Law, and School of Engineering/Computer Sciences. In addition, the Framework Program will provide research and training opportunities at a number of National Institutes of Health (NIH)- funded international sites currently operated by UNM faculty. The overall goal of the Framework Program is to create multidisciplinary educational programs, the first in the Southwest, that will facilitate global health research and teaching between multiple institutions at UNM and with our regional and international partners. To accomplish this, three specific aims with supporting activities will be pursued. First, multidisciplinary curricula for undergraduate, graduate, postdoctoral, and professional trainees, with particular emphasis on determinants of emerging patterns in global health will be created by three new course offerings. Second, a Global Health Certificate Program will be developed that incorporates intensive field training internships at our international sites to provide a practical complement to the didactic course offerings. Third, an administrative framework for enhancing global health research and education will be created by bringing together multiple schools and programs at UNM in the areas of medicine, public health, arts and sciences, pharmacy, law, and engineering. The Framework Program will also develop a full suite of distance learning opportunities to disseminate information to and foster participation from the New Mexico, Greater Southwest, and global communities. Finally, an annual 3-day Southwest Regional Global Health Workshop will be conducted at UNM to facilitate involvement of local community stakeholders and cultivate dialogue between the academic center and its community. Feedback from all participants in the Framework Program, both at UNM and at overseas sites, will be used by an Internal Advisory Committee, along with guidance from a panel of external experts, to assure that excellence in education and research in evolving areas of global health are developed and maintained at University of New Mexico. Public Health Relevance: Improved health for populations around the globe has become an important international priority. While life expectancy has made large gains in economically viable countries, little change has occurred in poorer nations based primarily on health inequalities between the rich and poor. Training and education with emphasis on the interdisciplinary nature of global health problems will be required to assure adequate numbers of global health researchers in the years ahead. This proposal aims to develop a comprehensive Framework Program for Global Health at the University of New Mexico which will bring together diverse faculty and leverage existing resources to create an integrated approach to research and training in global health, with potential impact on millions of people.

描述（由申请人提供）：改善全球人口的健康已成为国际首要任务。随着世界的相互联系日益紧密，国际社会面临的主要全球健康负担显然需要采取综合方法来解决政治、社会经济、文化、法律、生物和医学问题。该方法的关键组成部分包括：(1) 培训下一代全球健康研究人员； (2) 将美国中心与发展中国家中心之间的活动联系起来； (3) 非学术企业正式成员的社区利益相关者的参与。全球健康教育和研究面临的最重要挑战之一是将具有不同技能的个人聚集在一起，创建一个解决全球健康问题复杂性的综合网络。新墨西哥大学 (UNM) 拥有足够数量的研究人员来应对这一挑战。拟议的新墨西哥大学全球健康框架计划将汇集不同的教师，并利用现有资源，创建全球健康研究和培训的综合方法。为了实现这一目标，医学与公共卫生学院、艺术与科学学院、药学院、法学院和工程/计算机科学学院将形成一个全球健康网络。此外，该框架计划还将在美国国立卫生研究院 (NIH) 资助的一些国际机构（目前由新墨西哥大学教师运营）提供研究和培训机会。该框架计划的总体目标是创建西南地区第一个多学科教育计划，这将促进新墨西哥大学多个机构之间以及我们的区域和国际合作伙伴之间的全球健康研究和教学。为了实现这一目标，将追求三个具体目标和支持活动。首先，三门新课程将为本科生、研究生、博士后和专业实习生提供多学科课程，特别强调全球卫生新兴模式的决定因素。其次，将开发全球健康证书计划，其中包括在我们的国际地点进行强化现场培训实习，为教学课程提供实用的补充。第三，将通过整合新墨西哥大学医学、公共卫生、艺术与科学、药学、法律和工程领域的多个学校和项目，创建一个加强全球健康研究和教育的行政框架。该框架计划还将开发一整套远程学习机会，向新墨西哥州、大西南地区和全球社区传播信息并促进他们的参与。最后，每年将在新墨西哥大学举办为期 3 天的西南地区全球健康研讨会，以促进当地社区利益相关者的参与，并培养学术中心与其社区之间的对话。内部咨询委员会将利用来自新墨西哥大学和海外地点的框架计划所有参与者的反馈以及外部专家小组的指导，以确保在不断发展的全球卫生领域提供卓越的教育和研究由新墨西哥大学开发和维护。公共卫生相关性：改善全球人口的健康已成为重要的国际优先事项。虽然经济上可行的国家的预期寿命大幅提高，但主要由于贫富之间的健康不平等而在较贫穷的国家几乎没有发生任何变化。需要重点关注全球卫生问题的跨学科性质的培训和教育，以确保未来几年有足够数量的全球卫生研究人员。该提案旨在在新墨西哥大学制定一个全面的全球健康框架计划，该计划将汇集不同的教师并利用现有资源，创建全球健康研究和培训的综合方法，对数百万人产生潜在影响。
