2432—International Health
APA Special Interest Group
Room Pacific Suite I, SF Marriott
Chairs: Yvonne Vaucher, yvaucher@ucsd.edu;
and Cindy Howard, drcindy@umn.edu.
Jennifer Kasper, MD, MPH, the
current president of Doctors for Global Health, will be our
keynote speaker. Dr. Kasper has also been extensively involved
with Physicians for Human Rights. Her interests, as reflected
in her publications and speaking engagements, center around
health, human rights and how larger social, economic and
political change affects child health and well being both
domestically and worldwide.
This year the recipient of the
International Research Award is from Kenya. The award winner
will present an overview of child health in Kenya.
Following each presentation there
will be time for discussion. The meeting will conclude with an
opportunity for each participant to introduce him/herself and
describe their interest/work in international health.

2768—So You Want To Do International
Research?
PAS Educational Workshop
Golden Gate Hall B1, SF Marriott
Leader: Linda Wright, Rockville, MD; Co-leaders: Jose Belizan, Waldemar
Carlo, Jeanne McDermott, Elizabeth McClure and Cyril Engmann
Target Audience: Trainees,
fellows, junior faculty, and mid-level faculty.
Almost all (99%) of maternal and
infant deaths worldwide occur in low and middle-income
countries. Conducting research in these countries has many
rewards and challenges, which are often daunting for
investigators trying to apply for NIH support. This workshop
will describe the process of applying for research support
from NIH, how review is done and funding decisions made, how
to enhance the likelihood of success and NIH's priorities for
research. We will also discuss the design and conduct of
studies in these settings, how to identify appropriate partner
countries and collaborate with local investigators and
government organizations as well as how to address three
important areas for international research, strengthening
local research capacity, scaling up proven interventions, and
facilitating sustainability.
Objectives:
– To increase participants
understanding of issues related to the design and
implementation of clinical trials in low and middle-income
countries
– To increase participants skills in writing a protocol for
research in another country
– To increase participants knowledge of funding
opportunities for research in low and middle-income countries
Format: The format will be
didactic presentations with extensive question-and-answer
session.

PAS Educational Workshop
Golden Gate Hall C2, SF Marriott
Leader: Karen Olness, Cleveland, OH; Co-leader: Anna Mandalakas and
Marisa Herran
Target Audience: Trainees,
fellows, junior faculty, mid-level faculty, senior faculty,
and community practitioners.
This workshop will address the
special issues of children in disasters and provide guidelines
for child health professionals who wish to help their
communities prepare for disasters. This workshop will use a
problem based training format with appropriate case histories
to allow participants to consider decision making for children
in natural or man made disasters. Components of this training
include the problems and priorities for children in disasters,
how to identify resources in the local community that are
available for disaster-impacted children, how to mobilize
rapid responses on behalf of children, and how to reduce long
term psychological problems for children.
Objectives:
– List the special issues of
children who experience disasters.
– Provide information on preparing a community to help
children in disasters.
Format: Problem based learned
format including discussion of relevant case histories.

5130A—Neonatal Infectious Diseases in
Developing Countries—Part I
PGPR Symposium
Room 3016-3018, Moscone West
Co-Chairs: Alvin Zipursky, The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto,
Canada; and Stephen Wall, Senior Research Manager, Saving
Newborn Lives, Washington, DC
Target Audience: Researchers and
clinicians interested and/or involved in all aspects of the
study of neonatal infectious disease, in any setting.
The Programme for Global
Paediatric Research (PGPR) includes paediatric researchers,
societies, and other organizations committed to child health.
It was formed in January 2004 to address the disparity between
the scientific research resources available in high-income
countries and the quantity of scientific research focused on
the health of children in mid- and low-income countries. PGPR
works at the centre of a global network to inform, educate,
facilitate international research cooperation and
collaboration, and acts as an advocate for research to improve
the health of all children. This three-part symposium will
focus on the serious problem of neonatal infectious diseases
in developing countries. Parts 1 and 3 will be comprised of
expert presentations providing an overview of the problem,
instances of work that is being done in the area, and
region-specific information. Part 2 will feature platform
presentations from selected abstracts on issues included in
the study of neonatal infectious diseases in developing
countries. At the PGPR workshop on Wednesday, May 3 colleagues
from high-, mid- and low-income countries, who are working in
fields related to neonatal infectious diseases, will meet in
order to examine the critical issues and establish clear plans
for collaborative study and other action. One of the expected
outcomes of the workshop will be a preliminary statement of
research needs and directions related to neonatal infectious
diseases in developing countries.
