The Training Grant in Academic Nutrition brings together the intellectual and physical resources of the Harvard School of Public Health, and Harvard Medical School, fostering close interactions between trainees and faculty, including 23 preceptors and 6 resource faculty distributed between these two institutions. The Principal Investigator, Dr. Walter Willett, and Co-Principal Investigator, Dr. W. Allan Walker, have established a strong and vigorous pre- and post-doctoral program that we are now seeking to expand. The Training Program has successfully recruited an outstanding cadre of applicants, many MD and post-graduate students, who demonstrate intellectual promise and dedicated commitment to nutritional science research. Those candidates accepted into our program receive training in three key areas of contemporary nutrition: Nutritional Biochemistry, Human/Clinical Nutrition, and Nutritional Epidemiology. Our overall goal is to incorporate concepts, approaches, and scientific tools from both basic and applied science so that trainees are able to transcend conventional specialty boundaries to face the challenges of nutritional sciences in the 21st century. This Training Program is designed both for individuals who have recently completed their undergraduate degree, entering a formal doctoral program, and for physicians and graduates of other doctoral programs who will enter an intensive research training program with options to obtain formal degrees. The degrees offered are the PhD or research training program with options to obtain formal degrees. The degrees offered are the PhD or DSc in Nutritional Biochemistry and the DSc in Nutritional Epidemiology. For MD fellows, we offer a unique Masters Program in Clinical Effectiveness for training in clinical investigation based on direct studies with human subjects. Regardless of track, all students must successfully completed didactic coursework involving both basic biochemical and molecular concepts and advanced training in quantitative sciences, including epidemiology and biostatistics. This plan of study is bolstered by substantial elective coursework in area of human/clinical nutrition. All of these efforts to integrate modern molecular science and contemporary epidemiology are reinforced through demanding "hands-on" popular-guided nutritional science research with scientists who are at the "cutting edge" of their research.

学术营养培训助学金汇集了哈佛公共卫生学院和哈佛医学院的智力和体力资源，促进了学员和教职员工之间的密切互动，包括分布在这两个机构的23名讲师和6名资源教员。首席研究员Walter Willett博士和联合首席研究员W.Allan Walker博士已经建立了一个强大而有力的博士后和博士后项目，我们现在正在寻求扩大这一项目。该培训计划成功地招募了一批优秀的申请者，其中许多是医学博士和研究生，他们表现出了对营养科学研究的智力承诺和献身精神。那些被我们计划录取的候选人将接受当代营养学三个关键领域的培训：营养生物化学、人类/临床营养学和营养流行病学。我们的总体目标是融合基础科学和应用科学的概念、方法和科学工具，使学员能够超越传统的专业界限，面对21世纪的营养科学挑战。这一培训计划既面向最近完成本科学位并进入正式博士课程的个人，也面向将进入密集研究培训计划并可选择获得正式学位的医生和其他博士课程的毕业生。提供的学位是博士或研究培训计划，可以选择获得正式学位。提供的学位包括营养生物化学博士或DSC学位和营养流行病学DSC学位。对于医学博士研究生，我们提供了一个独特的临床有效性硕士课程，用于基于对人类受试者的直接研究进行临床调查培训。无论成绩如何，所有学生都必须成功完成涉及基本生化和分子概念的教学课程，以及定量科学方面的高级培训，包括流行病学和生物统计学。这一学习计划得到了人类/临床营养学领域大量选修课程的支持。所有这些整合现代分子科学和当代流行病学的努力，都是通过与处于研究前沿的科学家一起进行要求严格的、由大众指导的“动手”营养科学研究而得到加强的。
