Prospective cohort study of lung disease of prematurity

描述(由申请者提供)：奖学金培训的目标是提供一种教育经验，使其在临床结果研究中得到流行病学方面的专业知识。这将通过完成课程和论文项目部分实现，从而获得公共卫生硕士(MPH)学位。此外，通过设计和实施微生物与早产儿慢性肺部疾病的相关性的前瞻性队列研究，将获得临床结果研究领域的实践经验。这将支持科莱兹博士的长期目标，即发展将新生儿医学与临床结果研究、公共卫生和生物统计学相结合的学术生涯。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Goals for fellowship training are designed to provide an educational experience that leads to expertise in epidemiology as it is applied in clinical outcomes research. This will be accomplished in part by completing the curriculum and thesis project leading to a Masters in Public Health (MPH) degree. In addition, practical experience in the field of clinical outcomes research will be obtained by the design and implementation of a prospective cohort study of the association of microorganisms with chronic lung disease of prematurity. This will support the long-term goals of Dr. Colaizy to develop an academic career that integrates neonatal medicine with clinical outcomes research, public health, and biostatistics.
