Summary
Applications
are invited for the creation of Informatics training programs
in support of global health research in low- and middle-income
countries. U.S. institutions in partnership with eligible
foreign institutions that have active research and training
programs supported by NIH are welcome to apply. All fields
of informatics that increase the capacity of researchers and
other health professionals to generate, access, manage, analyze,
interpret, manipulate, model, display, and share biomedical
and behavioral information are suitable for training. Training
plans should be directly integrated with or directed towards
research activities at the foreign institution and should
address the health and informatics needs of the collaborating
foreign country
The objectives
of the program are:
(1) To train individuals who will apply state-of-the-art information
and communication technologies to research, health surveillance,
and other biomedical applications and who will function in
their home institutions as trainers and leaders in these technologies;
(2) To raise awareness of and access to informatics resources
within the larger scientific community at the foreign institution
and in the region; and
(3) To develop training opportunities for informatics at the
foreign institution that will be sustainable after the conclusion
of the project.
