Project Summary / Abstract The Indiana Training Program in Public & Population Health (PPH) Informatics trains the next generation of pioneering PPH informatics researchers, faculty, and leaders, prepared to advance the state of knowledge in the field and conduct research over the course of their careers that uses biomedical informatics and data science to advance the health of the U.S. population. Over the past five years, our program has trained 12 PPH informatics researchers who are helping modernize the nation’s public health infrastructure and strengthen approaches to managing and analyzing population health data. Building on these and other successes, including the establishment of a vibrant and flourishing educational, institutional, and technical infrastructure to support these trainees, we are now positioned to grow our program and its value as outlined in this application for competitive renewal. The program continues to have two overarching goals: 1) train predoctoral and postdoctoral scientists for successful careers in PPH informatics research; and 2) recruit and graduate high-caliber trainees with diverse backgrounds, races/ethnicities, and research disciplines. Our program equips trainees with advanced data and information science skills to address biomedical informatics research challenges in the context of public and population health. Predoctoral trainees pursue a PhD in epidemiology, health policy and management, or biostatistics with a doctoral minor in population health analytics. Postdoctoral trainees obtain further training that includes a research-oriented master’s degree if they lack prior training in PPH informatics. The educational program for all trainees consists of coursework; a substantial research project culminating in dissertation for PhD students and thesis for master's students; purposeful mentorship and guidance in meeting training goals; and associated publications, presentations, and other academic activities related to their research with expert faculty mentors. In this next funding cycle, we propose to train a steady state of 9 predoctoral trainees and 5 postdoctoral trainees, including two trainees focused on HIV research. Overall, we aim to build on our past successes by: 1) expanding the number of trainees served by our program; 2) expanding coursework and research experiences in the area of clinical informatics, including a focus on training HIV researchers who can apply PPH informatics methods to enhance surveillance and care for people living with HIV; 3) improving coursework in the areas of data science and analytics; and 4) expanding and achieving greater diversity among our faculty and trainees.

项目总结/摘要 在公共和人口健康（PPH）信息学的印第安纳州培训计划培养下一代的 开拓PPH信息学研究人员，教师和领导者，准备推进知识的状态， 在他们的职业生涯中，使用生物医学信息学和数据科学进行研究， 促进美国人民的健康。在过去的五年里，我们的计划已经培养了12个PPH信息学 帮助国家公共卫生基础设施现代化并加强 管理和分析人口健康数据。在这些和其他成功的基础上，包括 建立充满活力和繁荣的教育、机构和技术基础设施来支持这些目标 培训生，我们现在定位于发展我们的计划和它的价值，在此应用程序中概述的竞争力 退款该计划继续有两个总体目标：1）培养博士前和博士后科学家 在PPH信息学研究的成功职业生涯;和2）招聘和毕业的高素质的学员与不同的 背景、种族/民族和研究学科。我们的计划为学员提供先进的数据， 信息科学技能，以解决生物医学信息学研究的挑战，在公共和 人口健康。博士前学员攻读流行病学，卫生政策和管理博士学位，或 生物统计学博士辅修人口健康分析博士后学员获得进一步的培训， 包括研究型硕士学位，如果他们缺乏PPH信息学的事先培训。教育 所有学员的课程包括课程;一个实质性的研究项目，最终在博士论文 学生和硕士生论文;有目的的指导和指导，以达到培训目标;以及 相关的出版物，演示文稿和其他学术活动与他们的研究与专家教师 导师在这个下一个资助周期，我们建议培养一个稳定状态的9名博士前学员和5名博士后 培训人员，包括两名侧重于艾滋病毒研究的培训人员。总的来说，我们的目标是在过去成功的基础上再接再厉：1） 扩大我们的计划所服务的学员人数; 2）扩大课程和研究经验 在临床信息学领域，包括重点培训能够应用PPH信息学的HIV研究人员 加强对艾滋病毒感染者的监测和护理的方法; 3）改善以下领域的课程 数据科学和分析;以及4）扩大和实现我们的教师和学员之间的更大的多样性。
