DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The mission of this Program is to prepare a cadre of outstanding epidemiologists in the areas of reproductive, obstetric, perinatal and pediatric epidemiology through rigorous academic training in research methodology and the epidemiology and biology of reproductive, obstetric, perinatal and pediatric health, and through mentored research. A distinguished faculty provides a variety of substantial opportunities for research experience. The interest in these areas has constantly risen over the past decade or two among our graduate student population and applicants for graduate studies at Harvard School of Public Health. Doctoral Candidates in Epidemiology includes pre- doctoral candidates either with or without a prior doctoral degree who undertake 2-3 years of coursework, in addition to 2-3 years of research, in the course of earning a doctoral degree in Epidemiology. We request 2 new trainee positions per year and funding is requested for four years of study (8 prevalent training slots). The Program is based in the Department of Epidemiology of the Harvard School of Public Health. The faculty at the Harvard School of Public Health and the Harvard teaching hospitals combine a extraordinary wealth of expertise and experience in these areas and provide diverse research projects in the developed and developing world and including gynecologic conditions, adverse pregnancy outcomes, gynecologic tumors, pharmacoepidemiology during pregnancy, epigenetics in the context of developmental origins of health and disease in which students can participate. This proposal continues a long history of excellence in training in epidemiology at Harvard University. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The health of mothers, infants, and children has remained one of the biggest public health concerns around the globe. With major advances in methodology, biology and genetics, the need for well- trained highly skilled public health researchers in this area has never been greater. The mission of this program is to prepare a cadre of outstanding epidemiologists in the areas of reproductive, perinatal and pediatric epidemiology through rigorous academic training in research methodology and the epidemiology and biology of reproductive, perinatal and pediatric health, and through mentored research.

描述(由申请人提供)：该项目的使命是通过在研究方法和生殖、产科、围产期和儿科健康的流行病学和生物学方面的严格学术培训，以及通过有指导的研究，培养生殖、产科、围产期和儿科流行病学领域的一支杰出的流行病学家队伍。一支杰出的教师队伍为学生提供了丰富的研究经验。在过去的十年或二十年里，我们的研究生和申请哈佛大学公共卫生学院研究生的人对这些领域的兴趣不断上升。流行病学博士候选人包括有或没有博士学位的博士前候选人，他们在获得流行病学博士学位的过程中，除了进行2-3年的研究外，还进行2-3年的课程学习。我们每年请求2个新的实习生职位，并为四年的学习(8个普遍的培训时段)申请资金。该项目的总部设在哈佛大学公共卫生学院流行病学系。哈佛大学公共卫生学院和哈佛教学医院的教员结合了这些领域的非凡丰富的专业知识和经验，在发达国家和发展中国家提供多样化的研究项目，包括妇科疾病、不良妊娠结局、妇科肿瘤、孕期药物流行病学、学生可以参与的健康和疾病发育起源的表观遗传学。这项建议延续了哈佛大学在流行病学培训方面的悠久历史。 公共卫生相关性：母亲、婴儿和儿童的健康一直是全球最大的公共卫生问题之一。随着方法学、生物学和遗传学的重大进步，这一领域对训练有素的高技能公共卫生研究人员的需求从未像现在这样强烈。该计划的使命是通过在研究方法和生殖、围产期和儿科健康的流行病学和生物学方面的严格学术培训，以及通过有指导的研究，培养一支生殖、围产期和儿科流行病学领域的杰出流行病学家队伍。
