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.

项目概要/摘要 结核病（TB）在东南亚仍然是一种压倒性的传染病，尤其是在偏远地区 由于社会经济的限制，一些地区和少数民族之间的关系。依据《行政 福格蒂国际中心 (FIC) 培训补助金的补充，以促进多元化、公平和包容性 （DEI）多样性（NOT-TW-23-006）”，有必要为代表性不足的群体提供机会 加入研究事业。由于不平等，来自这一弱势群体的研究人员很少 LMIC（低收入和中等收入国家）接受高等教育的机会。目前的建议是 准备为此目的服务。 我们的母项目“东南亚中低收入国家结核病/耐多药结核病研究培训和能力加强” D43TW009522 位于泰国南部，包括印度尼西亚苏门答腊岛各省。 这两个地区都有少数民族，接受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为该地区服务方面有成功的记录，我们的计划是 能够为这些代表性不足的群体提供良好的机会，为他们提供 结核病研究培训。 我们在这两个国家有两个目标群体。 第一组是一小群穆斯林妇女，她们是科学学院的教员， 技术，PSU 北大年校区。他们拥有博士学位并教授统计学，但只有很少的知识 接触结核病的现代科学，特别是生物信息学和其他生物医学数据 科学。该小组培训的具体目标包括增强学员对 生物信息学和其他相关生物医学数据科学，使他们能够参与正在进行的结核病防治工作 研究活动。对这两位来自代表性不足的群体的科学家进行培训将导致 泰国的结核病科学家更加多元化，他们在贫困地区工作 国家。培训地点包括PSU医学院、合艾校区和理学院 曼谷玛希隆大学 Siriraj 医院医学院。学员将在以下地方度过 4 周的时间： 每个站点随后在其所在机构进行研究活动。 第二个目标研究实习生是来自印度尼西亚苏门答腊岛的年轻大学本科毕业生 他们来自少数民族社区。他们正在与印尼 PSU 校友合作 他们是北苏门答腊北苏门答腊大学 (USU) 结核病实验室的主要研究人员， 印度尼西亚亚齐省 Universitas Syiah Kuala (SKU) 统计学科。培训将是 随后在每所大学安排学员参与当地的结核病研究活动。 年底，所有学员将在部门进行述职总结活动 流行病学，PSU，这是当前 D43 补助金的主要培训地点）为期一周。
