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.

描述（由申请人提供）：该计划的目标是培养应用于艾滋病毒/艾滋病的统计理论和方法的博士前和博士后生物统计学家。为实现这一目标，生物统计学家和艾滋病毒/艾滋病专家进行了综合合作，以便：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;通过参加咨询项目和参加座谈会，积累将统计方法应用于艾滋病临床试验和观察研究问题的实际经验;指导受训人员，协助他们发展独立的学术生涯。培训内容：该培训计划是生物统计学和计算生物学（DBCB）部门，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之间的合作。DBCB提供了一个博士学位。统计学学位，生物统计学选项。该部门的成立是为了促进生物统计研究和与医疗中心研究人员的合作，提供行政领导和与艾滋病毒/艾滋病调查人员的关键联系。受训者将与一名生物统计学家作为主要指导者和一名艾滋病研究者作为次要共同赞助者相匹配。培训补助金委员会将审查受训人员和方案的进展情况。受训人员：博士前学员将完成学士学位，主修数学，统计学，或主修科学，辅修数学或统计学。选择是基于学习成绩，GRE成绩和建议。博士预科生必须达到博士学位的标准要求。统计学学位，加上生物统计学，流行病学和艾滋病毒预防的额外课程。将授予两个博士前四年奖。博士后研究生必须已完成博士学位。统计学、数学或相关学科。每个博士后实习生将参加适当的课程，参加研讨会，并与生物统计学研究和特定的艾滋病相关项目的教师导师合作。授予三个博士后培训名额，以建立一个为期两年的交替计划。
