DESCRIPTION The proposed program consists of three separate but interrelated training programs. Funding is requested to support 33 predoctoral trainees for each of 5 years (15 in BIOS, 10 in EPID and 8 in ENVR) and for 6 postdoctoral trainees, each to be supported for 3 years (with 3 starting in year #1 and 3 starting in year #3, evenly distributed across the 3 specialty areas). The goal of the BIOS training is to prepare biostatisticians to conduct state-of- the-art biostatistical research relevant to environmental health problems and to provide high level statistical consulting to other researchers in environmental health. The goal of the EPID training is to prepare epidemiologists to conduct investigations on the influence of environmental exposures on human health, with the capability of integrating approaches from molecular biology, biostatistics and environmental sciences. The ENVR goal is to train environmental scientists to conduct research on biological and statistical methods for assessing environmental exposures and their potential effects on human health. The three programs will be based in the Departments of Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Environmental Sciences and Engineering, the three largest departments in the UNC School of Public Health. While the three individual training components will be separate and based in their individual departments, the three directors will coordinate their activities, and Dr. Kupper will provide overall administration and coordination. All three predoctoral programs include formal course work and research; in the BIOS program, statistical consulting experience is also included. Coursework for each of the three areas focuses on the primary discipline, but some training in the other areas is also required, in order to provide the trainee with a broad base of environmental health knowledge. The postdoctoral programs provide for course work, if appropriate for the trainee, and research experience. Attendance at on-going seminar series is expected of all trainees

该计划由三个独立但又相互关联的培训计划组成。请拨资金，在5年内每年支持33名博士后实习生(基本输入输出系统15名，EPID 10名，ENVR 8名)和6名博士后实习生，每人支持3年(其中3名从1年级开始，3名从3年开始，平均分布在3个专业领域)。基本输入输出系统培训的目标是培养生物统计学家，以进行与环境健康问题相关的最先进的生物统计研究，并为环境健康领域的其他研究人员提供高水平的统计咨询。EPID培训的目标是使流行病学家能够结合分子生物学、生物统计学和环境科学的方法，就环境暴露对人类健康的影响进行调查。环境研究中心的目标是培训环境科学家开展生物学和统计学方法的研究，以评估环境暴露及其对人类健康的潜在影响。这三个项目将设在北卡罗来纳大学公共卫生学院最大的三个系--生物统计学、流行病学和环境科学与工程系。虽然三个单独的培训部分将是分开的，并设在各自的部门，但三位主任将协调他们的活动，库珀博士将提供整体管理和协调。所有三个博士前项目都包括正式的课程工作和研究；在基本输入输出系统项目中，统计咨询经验也包括在内。这三个领域的课程都侧重于主要学科，但也需要在其他领域进行一些培训，以便为受训者提供广泛的环境健康知识基础。博士后计划提供课程工作，如果适合受训者，并提供研究经验。所有学员均应出席正在进行的系列研讨会。
