TRAINING IN GENETIC EPIDEMIOLOGY & USE OF SAGE

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Training in genetic epidemiology and in the use of S.A.G.E."Statistical Analysis for Genetic Epidemiology", the program package we produce, is accomplished in several ways. Courses are given as part of the local graduate degree program in genetic epidemiology, S.A.G.E. short courses are held, post-doctoral fellows and visiting scientists receive hands-on experience, and there is one-on-one consulting with resource users when they have problems with S.A.G.E. This past year 3 credit-hour courses were given in principles of genetic epidemiology, genetic linkage analysis, genetic epidemiology of common diseases, population genetics for genetic epidemiology, statistical methods, computational methods, and principles of biomedicine for 10 graduate students. This year, four-day short courses were given in Baton Rouge (16 attendees), Leuven, Belgium (38 attendees) and Seoul, Korea(45 attendees). By way of dissemination, this past year we have completely revamped our website (http://darwin.cwru.edu) as well as talked about the Resource at numerous invited seminars.
