DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The current influenza pandemic has made evident the gaps in knowledge about and response capacity for emerging infectious diseases. In the first stage of our award, "Peru Infectious Diseases Epidemiology Research Training Consortium", the NMRCD-UPCH-JHBSPH-USUHS consortium has contributed to building sustainable research capacity in Peru. Two Masters' graduates and one PhD candidate returned to Peru and are studying key epidemiologic and ecologic aspects of pandemic and seasonal influenza, and three trainees are finishing coursework. Also, we established a nearly self-sustainable, tuition-funded Epidemiology Masters in Peru which is taught by 30+ Peruvian/foreign PhDs and PhD candidates, many funded by NIH research and training grants. We have trained 43 students in two successive cohorts, and students from the first cohort have published 13 papers in peer-reviewed journals within a year of training. Important progress has been made, but substantial efforts are still needed. The renewal proposal will consolidate our work by 1) supporting degree completion of current trainees and nurturing return to Peru, and 2) complete establishment a world-class and self-sustainable Epidemiology Masters program in Peru, 3) broadening training options in Peru via a Summer Institute of Epidemiological Research, 4) build capacity in Andean Ministries of Health through 4 ear-marked Masters scholarships, 5) formally adding the CDC and Universidad San Marcos as key partners. This second award will support 2 PhD students, 20 Masters Graduates and 21 students of certificate programs, 30% of them trained in the US. The consortium will continue to use the proven, successful approach of combining coursework, applied research, and mentored achievement-driven progression and using all training programs available. Trainees will prepare a protocol, obtain IRB approval, conduct research, submit a manuscript, and apply for external funding, completing the research cycle. Training will take place in a superb environment of the consortium which includes numerous successful NIH collaborations, extensive multi-year research, a large pool of highly trained local and foreign mentors, sophisticated laboratories, and diverse field and clinical sites. Public Health Relevance: We built sustainable research capacity in our first award by creating a high-quality Epidemiology Masters Program in Peru and combining with advanced degree training in the US. The first trainees are conducting important studies on seasonal and pandemic influenza and published important studies rapidly. The renewal proposal should consolidate these efforts with further local training in Peru, reaching out to Ministries of Health in Andean countries and complete establishing self-sustainable advanced programs in Peru

描述（由申请人提供）：当前的流感大流行凸显了人们对新发传染病的认识和应对能力方面的差距。在我们奖项的第一阶段“秘鲁传染病流行病学研究培训联盟”中，NMRCD-UPCH-JHBSPH-USUHS 联盟为建设秘鲁的可持续研究能力做出了贡献。两名硕士毕业生和一名博士生返回秘鲁，正在研究大流行性流感和季节性流感的关键流行病学和生态学方面，三名学员正在完成课程作业。此外，我们还在秘鲁建立了近乎自给自足、由学费资助的流行病学硕士课程，由 30 多名秘鲁/外国博士和博士生授课，其中许多人由 NIH 研究和培训补助金资助。我们连续两期培训了 43 名学生，第一期的学生在培训一年内已在同行评审期刊上发表了 13 篇论文。已经取得了重要进展，但仍需要做出大量努力。更新提案将通过以下方式巩固我们的工作：1）支持当前学员完成学位并培育他们返回秘鲁，2）在秘鲁完成世界一流且可自我维持的流行病学硕士项目，3）通过夏季流行病学研究所，4) 通过 4 个指定的硕士奖学金，建设安第斯卫生部的能力，5) 正式将疾病预防控制中心和圣马科斯大学列为关键合作伙伴。第二个奖项将支持2名博士生、20名硕士毕业生和21名证书课程学生，其中30%在美国接受培训。该联盟将继续采用行之有效的方法，将课程作业、应用研究、指导性的成就驱动型进展相结合，并利用所有可用的培训计划。学员将准备一份协议、获得 IRB 批准、进行研究、提交手稿并申请外部资金，从而完成研究周期。培训将在该联盟的优越环境中进行，其中包括众多成功的 NIH 合作、广泛的多年研究、大量训练有素的本地和外国导师、先进的实验室以及多样化的现场和临床场所。 公共卫生相关性：我们通过在秘鲁创建高质量的流行病学硕士项目并结合美国的高级学位培训，在第一个奖项中建立了可持续的研究能力。第一批学员正在对季节性和大流行性流感进行重要研究，并迅速发表重要研究。更新提案应将这些努力与秘鲁进一步的当地培训相结合，与安第斯国家的卫生部联系，并在秘鲁完成建立自我可持续的高级计划
