Young researchers training activities

Program with the help of a Ford Foundation grant. The objective
of this program was to train young researchers in academic areas
covered by the different departments at CEDES. Since 1992, these
activities have been reorganized into a new different training programs.
Thanks to the support of the Ford Foundation, CEDES is currently
carrying out the International
Program for the Training of Young Researchers in Economics.

> Workshops on Sexual and
Reproductive Health, Gender Violence, and Contraception for the
Security Forces of the Province of Buenos Aires
The Ministry of Security of the Province of Buenos Aires is presently
implementing the project “Institutional Strengthening of the
Ministry of Security of the Province of Buenos Aires concerning
Population and Development, Gender, Sexual and Reproductive Health,
Family Violence, and Minority”, funded and assisted by the
United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).
This project is carried out within the context of a major process
of modernization and professionalization of the police, geared to
the construction of institutions that are efficient, democratic,
and committed with the promotion and fulfillment of Human Rights.
This modernization process requires deep transformations in the
organizational culture of the police institution that enable the
construction of new representations regarding gender matters and
the exercise of rights. In this context, it is essential to abandon
stereotypes and sexist practices in order to guarantee an equal
development and optimum use of the institution’s human potential,
as well as the improvement of the health status and life quality
of police officers.
Within the framework of this project, the Health, Economics, and
Society Area of CEDES has been called to design, coordinate, and
implement workshops on sexual and reproductive health, gender violence,
and contraception, intended for the first-year students of the police
career, whose ages range form 18 to 28 years old.
These activities are part of PRODUCT 1 of the project: “Sensitization

Global Health Research Initiative (GHRI)
Global Health Leadership Award (GHLA)
Argentinean Tobacco Research Program
This project is funded by Teasdale-Corti Global Health Leadership Award that is sponsored by the Global Health Research Initiative (GHRI) and collaborating partners. The purpose of this award is to support the career progression of emerging leaders in health system or research institutions in LMICs by building individual and institutional capacity to conduct strategic applied health research that addresses pressing health system and policy issues in the candidate’s country or region. The Argentinean Tobacco Research Program, directed by Dr Raúl Mejía has been selected with this award.
The goal of the program is to train a new generation of researchers and policy leaders not only in tobacco control but also in global health problems. This program will also integrate local institutions with different academic expertise and from different socioeconomic status. The multidisciplinary perspective of this program will inform the scientific skills of future generations of researchers. The ultimate objective of this program is to assist the government in the implementation of the “Technical Package for Tobacco Control” in Argentina to reduce the prevalence cigarette smoking by 5% in 2015.
This 18-month program will develop research capacity through course work in research methods and through a mentored research experience in an area related to tobacco use conducted within a culture of mentorship trainees will be exposed to a broad variety of researchers from the participant institutions such as CEDES, Program of General Intern Medicine, University of Buenos Aires, ICTER, Jujuy, and the University of California San Francisco.
Participants of this mentored course will select their course work from a list that will provide them with a strong didactic and methodological background in global health research and advocacy. After this training, scholars will be required to conduct a supervised study in a smoking area in Argentina.
Participants will be recruited from a variety of fields related with tobacco or its consequences.
