项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed new UCLA program will train predoctoral students from the behavioral and social sciences in biomedical theory, evidence, and methods and mentor them to integrate these approaches into health research. The goal is to train interdisciplinary investigators based in population science and health psychology who examine the complex pathways through which demographic, socioeconomic, and psychological processes influence and are influenced by health and disease. The program is a partnership of the UCLA California Center for Population Research (CCPR) and the Program in Health Psychology in the Department of Psychology. The CCPR and the Program in Health Psychology are top centers nationally for research in their respective areas. We request support for 5 predoctoral trainees per year for two year traineeships. Trainees will be selected from students in psychology, sociology, community health sciences, and economics. In the first year, trainees will take a carefully designed year-long didactic training course taught by life sciences and biomedical faculty focusing on the structure and function of key bodily systems which are critical for health and disease and the pathophysiology of major medical conditions. They will also develop a research proposal with two co-mentors, one from the behavioral or population sciences, and one from the biomedical sciences. In the second year, students will apply their first-year coursework via a sequence of laboratory and research experiences. By the end of their second year, trainees will complete an independent research project based on their proposal, co-mentored by a biomedical science faculty member and a population or behavioral science faculty member, and yielding either a dissertation proposal or a manuscript to be submitted for publication. Throughout the traineeship they will participate in a proseminar with faculty and guest speakers that integrate the biomedical knowledge into their scientific approaches. The program will be led by a team of faculty from the population, behavioral, and biomedical sciences that will be overseen and supported by a similarly interdisciplinary committee of Core Faculty. To mentor trainees, provide laboratory and research experiences, and lecture in the didactic training course, we have recruited a large team of distinguished faculty from the population, behavioral, biomedical sciences with outstanding records of publication, extramural funding, and mentoring, as well as extensive experience in collaboration on health research across traditional disciplinary boundaries. Relevance: The program will benefit public health by producing new interdisciplinary investigators who through their research will help to determine the pathways by which individual social, economic, and psychological factors influence and are influenced by health and disease. By virtue of this training, this new cohort of investigators will be better able to identify interdisciplinary approaches to intervention for the benefit of public health in the United States.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的加州大学洛杉矶分校新项目将在生物医学理论、证据和方法方面培训行为和社会科学领域的博士前学生，并指导他们将这些方法整合到健康研究中。目标是培训基于人口科学和健康心理学的跨学科研究人员，他们研究人口、社会经济和心理过程影响健康和疾病以及受健康和疾病影响的复杂途径。该项目是加州大学洛杉矶分校加州人口研究中心 (CCPR) 和心理学系健康心理学项目的合作伙伴。 CCPR 和健康心理学项目是各自领域的全国顶级研究中心。我们请求每年为 5 名博士前培训生提供为期两年的培训支持。学员将从心理学、社会学、社区健康科学和经济学专业的学生中选拔。第一年，学员将参加由生命科学和生物医学教师精心设计的为期一年的教学培训课程，重点关注对健康和疾病至关重要的关键身体系统的结构和功能以及主要医疗状况的病理生理学。他们还将与两名联合导师一起制定一项研究计划，其中一名来自行为或人口科学，另一名来自生物医学科学。在第二年，学生将通过一系列实验室和研究经验应用第一年的课程。到第二年结束时，学员将根据他们的提案完成一个独立的研究项目，由生物医学科学教员和人口或行为科学教员共同指导，并产生论文提案或手稿以提交出版。在整个培训期间，他们将参加由教师和客座演讲者参加的研讨会，将生物医学知识融入他们的科学方法中。该项目将由来自人口、行为和生物医学科学领域的教师团队领导，该团队将受到类似的核心教师跨学科委员会的监督和支持。为了指导学员，提供实验室和研究经验，并在教学培训课程中授课，我们招募了一支由来自人口、行为、生物医学科学领域的杰出教师组成的大型团队，他们拥有出色的出版记录、校外资助和指导，以及在跨传统学科界限的健康研究合作方面的丰富经验。相关性：该计划将通过培养新的跨学科研究人员来有益于公共卫生，这些研究人员将通过他们的研究帮助确定个人社会、经济和心理因素影响健康和疾病以及受健康和疾病影响的途径。通过这次培训，这批新的研究人员将能够更好地确定跨学科的干预方法，以造福美国的公共卫生。
