University of Utah Biomedical Informatics Training Grant

摘要 犹他大学将进一步履行其使命，培养我们多样化的生物医学的下一代 劳动力，能够通过将信息学应用于研究和实践来推动卫生科学和实践 发现，并通过建立有效的合作伙伴关系。在这次续展申请中，我们在国际上 被认可的26-30年NLM T15培训计划，我们概述了继续适应和发展的计划 我们的计划适应快速变化的科学环境，但又根据每个学员的需求量身定做。我们提供 强大的信息学基础和使命，建立在四个重点领域：医疗保健/临床信息学， 临床研究信息学、公共卫生信息学和翻译生物信息学。穿梭于这些之中 重点领域是强有力的方法跟踪和重点研究线索。 密歇根大学生物医学信息学系和我们的合作伙伴，山间医疗和地区 退伍军人管理局医疗中心，是国家信息学的领导者，也得到了关系的支持 与犹他州卫生部、服务不足社区的12家合作诊所以及全州范围内的非营利性组织 卫生信息交换(UHIN)。这些环境，加上负责人的指示 开展研究和方法以提高重现性，为实践团队提供充足的机会 通过实践综合学习活动、应用和以实践为基础的课程 课程极大地增强了课程的影响力和严谨性。这确保了我们的实习生将充分 具备必要的理论知识、技能和深厚的知识基础 推动跨学科项目向前发展。我们培训计划的目标是： 1.提供严谨和可定制的课程，为每个学员提供必要的基础和 在杰出导师的指导下进行专业化教育，使创新和富有成效的 生物医学信息学研究生涯； 2.在国内和国际范围内招募受训人员，特别注重吸引妇女和 在犹他州和更远的地方，代表不足的少数民族丰富生物医学信息学领域的多样性； 3.确保负责任的研究行为有坚实的基础，并致力于科学严谨； 4.提供全面的研究环境和包容性文化，提供尽可能广泛的多样性 为教师和学生提供资源，以鼓励他们在研究中的创造力和严谨性； 持续全面评估该计划，包括实习生、教师、我们的行业咨询 董事会，以及我们的外部顾问委员会。 被要求的实习生(8名博士后，4名博士后)将参加一个为期4年的研究项目，教学 课程安排和职业发展。这22位导师代表了一系列跨学科的信息学家。 随着新任命的DBMI主席(Yves Lussier博士)行使他的启动基金，该公司将会发展壮大。

Abstract The University of Utah will further its mission of educating the next generation of our diverse biomedical workforce, capable of advancing health science and practice by the application of informatics to research and discovery, and by building effective collaborative partnerships. In this renewal application of our internationally recognized NLM T15 training program for years 26-30, we outline the plan for continued adaption and evolution of our program to a rapidly changing scientific environment yet tailored to the needs of each trainee. We provide a strong informatics foundation and a mission that builds on four focus areas: Health Care/Clinical Informatics, Clinical Research Informatics, Public Health Informatics, and Translational Bioinformatics. Woven through these focus areas are strong methodology tracks and focus research threads. UofU Department of Biomedical Informatics and our partners, Intermountain Healthcare and the regional Veterans Administration Medical Center, are national leaders in Informatics as well as supported by relationships with the Utah Department of Health, twelve partner clinics in underserved communities, and a statewide nonprofit health information exchange (UHIN). These environments, together with the instruction of the responsible conduct of research and methods for enhancing reproducibility, provide ample opportunities to practice team science through hands-on integrated learning activities, applications, and practicum-based courses in the curriculum that greatly enhances the impact and rigor of the program. This ensures our trainees will be fully equipped with the requisite command of theory, mastery of skills, and deep knowledge base required to drive interdisciplinary projects forward. The aims of our training program are: 1. Provide a rigorous and customizable curriculum, giving each trainee both the necessary foundation and the specialized education under the guidance of exceptional mentors to enable an innovative and productive research career in biomedical informatics; 2. Recruit trainees nationally and internationally with a special emphasis on attracting women and underrepresented minorities to enrich diversity in the field of biomedical informatics in Utah and beyond; 3. Ensure a solid grounding in the responsible conduct of research and a dedication to scientific rigor; 4. Provide a comprehensive research environment and culture of inclusivity, with the broadest possible variety of resources for faculty and students, to encourage creativity and rigor in their research; and perform continued and comprehensive evaluation of the program involving trainees, faculty, our Industry Advisory Board, and our External Advisory Board. The requested trainees (8 pre-, 4 post- doctoral) will participate in a 4-year program of research, didactic coursework, and professional development. The 22 mentors represent a range of interdisciplinary informaticians and will grow as the newly appointed DBMI chair (Dr. Yves Lussier) exercises his startup fund.
