DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to train MD, MD/PhD and pre-doctoral investigators in contemporary epidemiology of emerging infectious diseases and bioterrorism through instruction, practical application, and research in fundamental epidemiology, biostatistics and molecular epidemiology. For some trainees, additional training in bioinformatics or medical informatics will be offered. Trainees will be drawn from the pool of those accepted into the PhD graduate program in epidemiology at Stanford and from postdoctoral fellows in adult or pediatric infectious diseases. Trainee applicants will be evaluated by the Steering Committee and offered training grant slots on the basis of academic records, faculty interviews and demonstrated interest in epidemiology. Every effort will be made to attract minority candidates. The training program will be interdisciplinary, involving faculty from the Division of Epidemiology (Medicine (Infectious Diseases), and Pediatrics (Infectious Diseases) at Stanford and the School of Public Health, University of California/Berkeley. Predoctoral students will complete the requirements of the Stanford PhD program in epidemiology. MD or MD/PhD infectious diseases postdoctoral fellows may elect to obtain the MS degree in epidemiology, although this is not a requirement. The emphasis of the program is on research training in epidemiology of infectious diseases and bioterrorism. Trainees will conduct research under the mentorship of at least one training program faculty member; most will be co-mentored by two members of the training program. Thus, most research projects will be cross-disciplinary to take advantage of the strengths of the faculty. To promote interaction among trainees and faculty, research seminars conducted by trainees, weekly interdisciplinary seminars in infectious diseases epidemiology, weekly infectious diseases grand rounds, infectious diseases and bioterrorism lectures presented by faculty, and an annual 1-day research retreat will be held. Each trainee will be counseled and directed by a Research Committee comprised of the mentor(s) and several other scientists whose area of expertise is relevant to the project. The trainee will present his/her research progress to the committee at regular intervals. One PhD predoctoral and two MD (MD/PhD) post-doctoral trainees are to be supported by the Training Program each year. All trainees will be encouraged to apply for independent support. Trainees are expected to graduate to academic appointments or public health leadership positions.

描述(由申请人提供)：我们建议通过基础流行病学、生物统计学和分子流行病学的教学、实际应用和研究，培训MD、MD/PhD和博士后研究人员新出现的传染病和生物恐怖主义的当代流行病学。对于一些学员，还将提供生物信息学或医学信息学方面的额外培训。受训者将从斯坦福大学流行病学博士研究生项目的录取人员以及成人或儿科传染病博士后研究员中挑选。学员申请者将由指导委员会进行评估，并根据学术记录、教师面谈和对流行病学表现出的兴趣提供培训补助金。将尽一切努力吸引少数族裔候选人。培训计划将是跨学科的，来自斯坦福大学流行病学(医学(传染病)和儿科(传染病))和加州大学/伯克利大学公共卫生学院的教职员工将参加。博士前学生将完成斯坦福大学流行病学博士项目的要求。医学博士或医学博士/博士传染病博士后可以选择获得流行病学硕士学位，尽管这不是必须的。该计划的重点是传染病流行病学和生物恐怖主义方面的研究培训。受训者将在至少一名培训计划教职员工的指导下进行研究；大多数将由两名培训计划成员共同指导。因此，大多数研究项目将是跨学科的，以利用教师的优势。为了促进学员和教员之间的互动，将举办由学员举办的研究研讨会、每周传染病流行病学跨学科研讨会、每周由教员举办的传染病、传染病和生物恐怖主义讲座，以及每年为期1天的研究静修活动。每个受训人员将由一个研究委员会提供咨询和指导，该委员会由导师(S)和其他几位与该项目相关的专业领域的科学家组成。学员将定期向委员会介绍他/她的研究进展。该培训计划每年资助一名博士后和两名医学博士(医学博士/博士)博士后实习生。我们会鼓励所有学员申请独立资助。预计受训人员将毕业于学术职位或公共卫生领导职位。
