View Award Description

Ethiopia-Emory TB Research Training Program - Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading global cause of death from an infectious disease and continues to pose a threat to U.S. public health. TB remains an enormous public health problem in Ethiopia, where high TB prevalence and increasing rates of drug-resistant TB highlight the need for strengthened research capacity to improve TB prevention and care. Critical shortages of well-trained TB investigators in Ethiopia and worldwide remain a major barrier to reducing the global burden of TB and advancing progress in TB prevention, diagnosis, and care. This renewal D43 application for the Ethiopia-Emory TB Research Training Program (EETB-RTP) builds on the success, progress, and lessons learned during the past decade. The EETB-RTP represents a successful partnership between Emory University in Atlanta and 3 Ethiopian institutions in Addis Ababa that are key sites for infectious diseases research, public health, and research training: the Armauer Hansen Research Institute (AHRI); Addis Ababa University; and the Ethiopian Public Health Institute, which along with AHRI, is part of the Ethiopian Ministry of Health (MOH). Important progress has been achieved, especially during the current funding cycle, in strengthening TB research infrastructure in Ethiopia and in training investigators who are now emerging as scientific leaders in TB research and as mentors for early career investigators. Since 2013, the EETB-RTP has provided long-term training to 46 early career investigators in Ethiopia, contributing to a growing cohort of MD and PhD-level investigators advancing TBrelated clinical and translational research. Our Fogarty trainees in the EETB-RTP have had 301 TB and/or COVID-19 peer-reviewed publications and have secured more than $8.1 million in grant funding since program inception. To further momentum and support long-term viability, this program focuses on strengthening local research capacity and expanding and strengthening the pool of effective and experienced TB research mentors in Ethiopia. We propose an innovative TB research training program to overcome key gaps that remain in the TB research and research training infrastructure. Specific Aims include: 1) Continue to build relevant and sustainable research capacity in Ethiopia by aligning research training activities with the research priorities outlined in the Ethiopian MOH’s “National Tuberculosis Research Roadmap (2022-2026)”; 2) Support career development to promote the seven professional characteristics of a translational scientist aligned with leadership in TB research; 3) Implement a new Advanced Training Track that will provide advanced grant writing instruction, mentor training, and leadership training to former Fogarty trainees to optimize their transition into independent investigators and mentors for the next generation of TB research investigators; and 4) Strengthen global TB research training in ways that enhance U.S. public health preparedness by developing a cadre of investigators capable of addressing TB, drug resistance, airborne infectious disease threats of importance to both Ethiopia and the United States.
