Global Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases

项目摘要/摘要 我们的培训计划招募各种博士后研究员，主要是内科医生，并发展他们的技能 开展传染病流行病学研究。该计划强调流行病学是应对的关键工具 不断增长的传染病威胁。它突出了传染病的全球流行病学，因为 人类人口连通性的增强意味着传染病的流行病学和控制 需要全球视野。该项目将是跨学科的，聘请29名来自 七个系(内科、儿科、流行病学、生物学、病理学和微生物学、免疫学 和土木工程和环境工程)。每年将从候选人中抽出三名学员参加 儿科和内科传染病奖学金计划；来自其他国家的特殊申请者 斯坦福大学的博士后项目可以考虑，如果他们之前承诺 传染病流行病学研究。学员将在一个项目的指导下进行研究 致力于实习生成功的教职员工。预计研究将是跨学科的，以利用 校园教师的广度和斯坦福提供的各种卓越的研究专业知识。至 促进学员和教职员工之间的互动，我们将召开学员举办的研究研讨会； 传染病流行病学跨学科研讨会；每周传染病专题讨论会； 关于传染病、生态学和风险的讲座；以及每年为期一天的研究务虚会。每个实习生都将 由他们的导师和其他具有相关专业知识的研究委员会提供咨询 研究和个人的职业目标。每年至少两次，学员将与他们的导师和 项目主管讨论他们的职业发展计划。此外，作为此次T32续订的一部分，我们 建议加强我们对流行病学方法的重视，包括要求所有研究员 培训补助金完成了全球传染病流行病学系教授的四门课程 流行病学和模型学。这一课堂教学将补充深入的辅导研究 经验，以便学员将发展内容专业知识和应用技能，这对成为 独立研究人员。我们会大力鼓励所有学员申请独立资助。实习生 将被任命为该计划的成员，每次为期一年。他们将在该项目中度过1至3年的时间。 我们设想这个项目的毕业生将承担独立研究或公共卫生领导工作。 从事解决他们这一代人面临的重大传染病威胁的职位和职业。

Project Summary/Abstract Our training program recruits diverse postdoctoral fellows, predominately physicians, and develops their skills to conduct infectious disease epidemiology research. The program stresses epidemiology as a key tool to face growing infectious disease threats. It highlights the global epidemiology of infectious disease, because the increased connectivity of human populations means that the epidemiology and control of infectious diseases requires a global perspective. The program will be interdisciplinary, engaging 29 faculty research mentors from seven Departments (Medicine, Pediatrics, Epidemiology, Biology, Pathology and Microbiology, Immunology and Civil and Environmental Engineering). Three trainees per year will be drawn from candidates for the Infectious Diseases Fellowship Programs in Pediatrics and Internal Medicine; exceptional applicants from other postdoctoral programs at Stanford may be considered if they have demonstrated prior commitment to Infectious Diseases epidemiologic research. Trainees will conduct research under the mentorship of a program faculty member committed to trainee success. Research is expected to be cross-disciplinary to take advantage of the breadth of campus faculty and the varied exceptional research expertise available at Stanford. To promote interaction among trainees and faculty we will convene research seminars conducted by trainees; interdisciplinary seminars in infectious diseases epidemiology; weekly infectious diseases grand rounds; lectures on infectious diseases, ecology and risks; and an annual one-day research retreat. Each trainee will be counseled by a Research Committee comprised of their mentors and others with expertise relevant to the research and to individual career goals. At least twice a year, trainees will meet with their mentors and the program directors to discuss their Professional Development Plan. In addition, as part of this T32 renewal, we propose to increase our emphasis on epidemiologic methods including requiring that all fellows supported by the training grant complete four courses taught by the Department of Epidemiology in global infectious disease epidemiology and modeling. This classroom instruction will complement the in-depth mentored research experience so that trainees will develop both the content expertise and applied skills critical to become independent researchers. All trainees will be strongly encouraged to apply for independent support. Trainees will be appointed to the program for a year at a time. They will spend between 1 and 3 years in the program. We envision that graduates of this program will assume independent research or public health leadership positions and engage in careers that address the great infectious disease threats of their generation.
