DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Our goal is to train future leaders in infectious disease (ID) epidemiology. To be leaders, our trainees will need to be well grounded in interdisciplinary research, as ID epidemiology evolves and intersects with other disciplines, such as genomics and geography. Our previous trainees have all conducted interdisciplinary research involving biomarkers, social determinants of disease, or methods development. In the next funding period, our program will increase its focus on interdisciplinary science through classwork and research, taking advantage of the broad range of our faculty's expertise and the highly collaborative research environment at UNC. This training program is new (since 2006) and small (3 slots per year); we request only a small increase (to 4 slots/year). With continued NIH support, we know that we can attract and groom an elite group of students to become the academic trailblazers for ID epidemiology PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Infectious diseases remain major public health problems both in developed and developing countries. We aim to train infectious disease epidemiologists who can apply interdisciplinary approaches to better understanding these diseases.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们的目标是培养传染病（ID）流行病学未来的领导者。要成为领导者，我们的学员将需要在跨学科研究中打好基础，因为ID流行病学的发展和与其他学科的交叉，如基因组学和地理学。我们以前的学员都进行了涉及生物标志物，疾病的社会决定因素或方法开发的跨学科研究。在下一个资助期内，我们的计划将通过课堂作业和研究增加对跨学科科学的关注，利用我们教师的广泛专业知识和高度协作的研究环境。这个培训计划是新的（自2006年以来）和小（每年3个名额）;我们只要求一个小的增加（到4个名额/年）。在NIH的持续支持下，我们知道我们可以吸引和培养一批精英学生，成为ID流行病学的学术开拓者 公共卫生相关性：传染病仍然是发达国家和发展中国家的主要公共卫生问题。我们的目标是培养传染病流行病学家谁可以应用跨学科的方法，以更好地了解这些疾病。
