DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The training plan in this proposal is designed to provide biostatisticians with the necessary skills to function quickly and effectively in today's multidisciplinary, team-oriented biomedical research environment, applicable to career paths in academia, government, and industry. The training plan takes advantage of existing strengths in interdisciplinary research and training at North Carolina State University (NCSU), and consists of the following major components: 1. A curriculum tailored to the demands of working at the interface of biostatistics and genomics. The coursework will provide rigorous training in statistical theory and practice, but will also include courses in basic genetics, genomic science, and bioinformatics, as well as elective courses tailored to each student's interests. 2. A suite of activities designed to foster interdisciplinary training and collaboration: a. A group of biological labs will, on a rotating basis, host the trainees and training faculty in a scheduled lab meeting tailored to introduce the research in those labs. b. Trainees will have an extended laboratory "genomics immersion" during their second and third years. The lab meetings will facilitate finding good matches between labs and students. c. Required involvement in an interdisciplinary journal club series. d. Immediate assignment to new students of a mentorship team including both biological and statistical faculty. 3. Degree paths leading to the PhD in either Statistics or Bioinformatics, depending on the strengths and interests of the student. Students in both options will share a core set of courses designed to provide essential training in statistics, genomic science, and bioinformatics, and to enhance the sense of student community.

描述(由申请人提供)：本建议中的培训计划旨在为生物统计学家提供必要的技能，使其能够在当今多学科、以团队为导向的生物医学研究环境中快速有效地发挥作用，适用于学术界、政府和行业的职业道路。该培训计划利用了北卡罗来纳州立大学(NCSU)在跨学科研究和培训方面的现有优势，由以下主要部分组成：1.针对生物统计学和基因组学领域工作的需要而量身定做的课程。课程将提供统计理论和实践方面的严格培训，但也将包括基础遗传学、基因组科学和生物信息学课程，以及根据每个学生的兴趣定制的选修课。2.一系列旨在促进跨学科培训和协作的活动：a.一组生物实验室将轮流接待受训者和培训教师，召开一次为介绍这些实验室的研究而量身定做的预定实验室会议。学员在第二年和第三年将有一个更长的实验室“基因组学沉浸”。实验室会议将有助于在实验室和学生之间找到良好的匹配。要求参加跨学科期刊俱乐部系列活动。 立即分配给包括生物学和统计学教授在内的导师团队的新学生。3.获得统计学或生物信息学博士学位的途径，取决于学生的强项和兴趣。这两个选项的学生将共享一套核心课程，旨在提供统计、基因组科学和生物信息学方面的基本培训，并增强学生社区意识。
