DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The program goal is to train pre-doctoral and postdoctoral biostatisticians in statistical theory and methods as applied to HIV/AID. This aim is addressed by an integrated collaboration between biostatisticians and HIV/AIDS to provide: supervision by biostatisticians with extensive experience in the development of statistical methodology; interaction with researchers with extensive experience in HIV/AIDS; practical experience in the applications of statistical methodology to problems in AIDS clinical trials and observatory studies by participating in consulting projects and attending colloquia; mentoring of trainees to assist in developing independent academic careers. Training: This training program is a collaboration between the Departments of Biostatistics and Computational Biology (DBCB), the Infectious Diseases Division in the Department of Medicine, Department of Microbiology & Immunology, and the Department of Community and Preventive Medicine. The DBCB offers a Ph.D. degree in Statistics with an option in Biostatistics. The Department, created to foster biostatistical research and collaboration with researchers in the Medical Center, provides the administrative leadership and the critical link with the HIV/AIDS investigators. Trainees will be matched with a biostatistician as primary preceptor and an AIDS investigator as a secondary cosponsor. The Training Grant Committee will review the progress of the trainees and the program. Trainees: Predoctoral trainees will have completed a baccalaureate degree with a major in mathematics, statistics, or a science major with a strong minor in mathematics or statistics. Selection is based on academic record, GRE scores, and recommendations. Predoctoral trainees must fulfill the standard requirements for the Ph. D. degree in statistics plus additional courses in biostatistics, epidemiology and HIV prevention. Two predoctoral four-year awards will be granted. Postdoctoral trainees must have completed a Ph. D. in statistics, mathematics or a related discipline. Each postdoctoral trainee will enroll in appropriate courses, attend seminars, and work with faculty mentors on biostatistics research and specific AIDS related projects. Three postdoctoral traineeships are awarded to establish an alternating two-year program.

项目描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的目标是培养应用于HIV/ aids的统计理论和方法的博士前和博士后生物统计学家。这一目标是通过生物统计学家和艾滋病毒/艾滋病之间的综合合作来实现的，以便提供：由在统计方法发展方面具有丰富经验的生物统计学家进行监督；与在艾滋病毒/艾滋病方面具有丰富经验的研究人员进行互动；通过参与咨询项目和参加讨论会，在艾滋病临床试验和观察研究中应用统计方法的实际经验；指导学员，帮助他们发展独立的学术生涯。培训：该培训项目由生物统计学和计算生物学（DBCB）系、医学系传染病科、微生物学和免疫学系以及社区和预防医学系合作开展。DBCB提供统计学博士学位，并可选择生物统计学。该司是为促进生物统计研究和与医学中心研究人员的合作而设立的，它提供行政领导和与艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究人员的关键联系。受训者将与一名生物统计学家作为主要导师和一名艾滋病调查员作为次要共同赞助者相匹配。训练奖助金委员会将检讨受训者及计划的进度。受研者：博士预科受研者将完成数学，统计学或科学专业的学士学位，辅修数学或统计学。选择是基于学习成绩，GRE成绩和推荐信。博士预科学员必须满足统计学博士学位的标准要求，外加生物统计学、流行病学和艾滋病毒预防方面的额外课程。将授予两个博士预科奖学金，为期四年。博士后学员必须完成统计学、数学或相关学科的博士学位。每个博士后实习生将参加适当的课程，参加研讨会，并与教师导师一起进行生物统计学研究和具体的艾滋病相关项目。授予三名博士后培训生以建立一个为期两年的交替项目。
