TRAINING IN MATERNAL AND CHILD NUTRITION

项目摘要/摘要 由于这个培训项目是34年前首次资助的，母婴面临的具体问题 营养(MCN)并没有消失，但关键的挑战仍然存在，新的挑战已经出现 出现了。因此，仍然迫切需要了解不仅如何预防营养不良 育龄妇女和年幼子女的问题，以及如何减轻这些问题的影响 妇女及其子女日后的健康问题。拟议的计划意义重大，因为， 在短期内，它将填补在MCN培训方面的一个主要空白，长期而言，它将填补由这一培训机构培训的个人 计划应该填补在产生和解释关于MCN的综合研究方面的一个重大空白。我们建议 利用知名毕业生的资源培训4名(3名博士后和1名博士后)实习生 康奈尔大学营养科学部的项目，是致力于 对这个国家的人类营养的影响。拟议的培训方案将由一个由以下人员组成的多-PD小组领导 康奈尔大学营养科学系的四名教员：K.M.拉斯穆森博士，L. 题名/责任者：A.计划监督将由外部顾问提供 委员会审议阶段。学员将由总共14名培训者进行指导，他们拥有积极的研究计划以及 堪称典范的训练记录。合作培训者在广泛的领域有不同但互补的技能 与MCN相关的学科以及在培训和培训方面彼此合作的悠久历史 研究。学员将完成由3门研究生课程组成的核心课程：母性主题 和儿童营养、补助金撰写、翻译研究和循证政策与实践 营养。这些课程将由MCN研究中心高度重视的每周会议补充 论坛以及负责任地开展研究以及研究的严密性和重复性方面的培训。使用 个人发展计划以及我们创新的年度合作项目将进一步 增强学员的职业发展和领导力发展，以及面对 不断变化的研究环境。该部门为拟议的计划提供了一流的设施， 包括设备齐全的实验室、动物设施、门诊代谢室、临床化学 实验室，以及对统计计算的广泛支持。学员还将有权访问共享研究 校园、学术中心和机构中的设施，专注于以下主题 脊椎动物基因组学对食品和营养政策的影响。作为拟议项目的结果，博士后和博士后 学员将能够识别MCN中最重要的问题，并通过他们的研究解决这些问题，以及 有效地将他们的研究成果转化为新的政策和适当的行动。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Since this training program was first funded 34y ago, the specific problems that confront maternal and child nutrition (MCN) have not gone away, but rather crucial challenges continue to exist and new ones have emerged. As a result, there remains a compelling need to understand not only how to prevent nutritional problems in women of childbearing age and young children but also how to mitigate the effects of these problems on the later health of both women and their children. The proposed program is significant because, in the short term, it will fill a major gap in training in MCN and, in the long term, individuals trained by this program should fill a major gap in producing and interpreting integrative research on MCN. We propose to train 4 (3 predoctoral and 1 postdoctoral) trainees by leveraging the resources of the renowned graduate program in the Division of Nutritional Sciences at Cornell University, one of the largest academic units devoted to human nutrition in the country. The proposed training program will be led by a multi-PD group composed of four faculty members in the Division of Nutritional Sciences at Cornell University: Drs K.M. Rasmussen, L. Bellows, J. Finkelstein, and J. Hoddinott. Program oversight will be provided by an External Advisory Committee. Trainees will be mentored by a total of 14 trainers, who have active research programs as well as an exemplary training record. The co-trainers have differing yet complementary skills in a wide range of disciplines related to MCN as well as a long history of collaboration with one another in both training and research. Trainees will complete a core curriculum consisting of 3 graduate-level courses: Topics in Maternal and Child Nutrition, Grant Writing, and Translational Research and Evidence-based Policy and Practice in Nutrition. These courses will be supplemented by the highly valued weekly meeting of the MCN Research Forum as well as training in the responsible conduct of research and rigor and reproducibility in research. Use of an Individual Development Plan along with our innovative Annual Collaborative Project will further enhance the trainees’ career and leadership development as well as their resilience in the face of a changing environment for research. Excellent facilities are available in the Division for the proposed program, including well-equipped laboratories, animal facilities, an outpatient metabolic unit, a clinical chemistry laboratory, and extensive support for statistical computing. Trainees will also have access to shared research facilities throughout the campus and academic centers and institutes that focus on subjects that range from vertebrate genomics to food and nutrition policy. As a result of the proposed program,pre- and postdoctoral trainees will be able to identify the most important problems in MCN, address them with their research, and effectively translate the results of their research into novel policies and appropriate actions.
