CVD Epidemiology Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）： 该提案是一项竞争性的国家研究服务奖培训补助金的续期申请，该补助金将继续关注华盛顿大学心血管疾病流行病学和预防方面的培训。 我们建议继续使用以下培训策略：联合收割机培训通过现有的流行病学研究生学位课程在一个优秀的公共卫生和社区医学学院在流行病学和预防心血管疾病的跨学科研究经验。 华盛顿大学公共卫生和社区医学院流行病学系将提供正式的课程和学位课程;华盛顿大学医学院医学系心血管健康研究中心将提供研究经验。 教学和研究活动的教师在华盛顿大学谁是积极的心血管研究在过去四年中扩大，并提供了各种机会，正式培训和研究经验有关的流行病学和预防心血管疾病，包括：心血管流行病学、遗传流行病学、分子/生化流行病学、营养流行病学、药物流行病学，传染病流行病学、神经流行病学、环境流行病学和预防心脏病保健服务。 该计划将涉及博士前的学生（每年6个名额）， 寻求博士学位在流行病学和博士后学生，医生和其他卫生专业人员（每年2个插槽），谁寻求M.S.或MPH流行病学学位。学员的组合模式的合作研究团队，我们已经发现提高研究生产力。 华盛顿大学心血管流行病学培训计划最初由NHLBI于1998年资助。 该计划吸引了优秀学生从事心血管流行病学和预防工作。 虽然只有两名受训人员完成了 到目前为止，每个人都继续在医学和公共卫生学院担任教职，并为心血管流行病学领域做出了重要贡献。目前，该项目有2名博士后和5名博士前实习生。 简而言之，该计划已经开始实现其增加专业人员数量的目标，无论是博士还是博士。心血管流行病学家和医生流行病学家，具有开发，实施，评估，翻译和传播流行病学研究的知识和技能， 预防心血管疾病。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is a competitive renewal application for an Institutional National Research Service Award training grant that will continue a focus for training in the epidemiology and prevention of cardiovascular diseases at the University of Washington. We propose to continue to use the following training strategy: combine training through existing graduate degree programs in Epidemiology at an outstanding School of Public Health and Community Medicine with interdisciplinary research experiences in the epidemiology and prevention of cardiovascular disease. The Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health and Community Medicine, University of Washington, will provide the formal coursework and degree programs; and, the Cardiovascular Health Research Unit, Department of Medicine, School of Medicine, University of Washington will provide the research experience. The teaching and research activities of the faculty at the University of Washington who are active in cardiovascular research have expanded over the past four years and provide a variety of opportunities for formal training and research experiences related to the epidemiology and prevention of cardiovascular diseases including: cardiovascular epidemiology, genetic epidemiology, molecular/biochemical epidemiology, nutritional epidemiology, pharmacoepidemiology, infectious disease epidemiology, neuro-epidemiology, environmental epidemiology, and preventive cardiology health services. The program will involve both pre-doctoral students (6 slots per year) who seek the Ph.D. in Epidemiology and post-doctoral students, physicians and other health professionals (2 slots per year), who seek the M.S. or M.P.H. degree in Epidemiology. The mix of trainees models the collaborative research teams that we have found enhance research productivity. The University of Washington Cardiovascular Epidemiology Training Program was initially funded by NHLBI in 1998. The program has attracted outstanding students to careers in cardiovascular epidemiology and prevention. While only a two trainees have completed the program to date, each has continued on to faculty positions in Schools of Medicine and Public Health and have made important contributions to the field of cardiovascular epidemiology. Currently, there are 2 post-doctoral and 5 pre-doctoral trainees in the Program. In short, the program has begun to achieve its goal of increasing the numbers of professionals, both Ph.D. cardiovascular epidemiologists and physician-epidemiologists, with the knowledge and skills to develop, implement, evaluate, translate, and disseminate research in the epidemiology and prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
