University of Washington Reproductive, Perinatal and Pediatric Epidemiology

项目概述/摘要这是华盛顿大学公共卫生学院生殖、围产期和儿科流行病学（RPPE）培训补助金的竞争性更新。我们将现有的流行病学研究生学位课程与流行病学、生物统计学、卫生服务、环境卫生、生殖、围产期和儿科医学等多学科研究培训经验相结合。流行病学系提供正式的课程和学位课程以及合作研究项目和中心，为RPPE研究员提供研究培训经验。69名区域方案教员的教学和研究活动为获得与流行病学和预防不利的产妇、围产期和儿童健康结果有关的正式培训和研究经验提供了各种机会。每年培养博士预科生6人，博士后培养2人。博士研修生攻读流行病学博士学位，博士后研修生有资格但不要求攻读流行病学硕士或硕士学位。受训者的混合模式是合作研究小组的模式，我们期望这些小组将继续加强生殖、围产期和儿科流行病学领域的研究培训和生产力。该培训方案的目的是增加训练有素的博士级专业人员（即生殖、围产期和儿科流行病学家）的人数，这些专业人员具备发展、实施、评估、翻译和传播流行病学和预防孕产妇、围产期和儿童疾病的研究成果的知识和技能。在之前的资助期内，我们为8名博士预科生和5名博士后提供了RPPE研究培训。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This is a competing renewal of the training grant in Reproductive, Perinatal and Pediatric Epidemiology (RPPE) at the University of Washington, School of Public Health. We combine training through existing graduate degree programs in Epidemiology with multidisciplinary research training experience in epidemiology, biostatistics, health services, environmental health, reproductive, perinatal, and pediatric medicine. The Department of Epidemiology, which offers formal coursework and degree programs along with collaborating Research Programs and Centers, provide the research training experience for the RPPE fellows. The teaching and research activities of the 69 RPPE faculty provide a variety of opportunities for formal training and research experiences related to the epidemiology and prevention of adverse maternal, perinatal and child health outcomes. We are able to support 6 pre-doctoral and 2 post-doctoral trainees per year. Pre-doctoral trainees pursue doctoral degrees in Epidemiology, while post-doctoral trainees are eligible but not required to seek, MS or MPH degrees in Epidemiology. The mix of trainees models the collaborative research teams that we expect will continue to enhance research training and productivity in the areas of reproductive, perinatal and pediatric epidemiology. The training program is designed to increase the numbers of well-trained doctoral- level professionals (i.e., reproductive, perinatal and pediatric epidemiologists) with the knowledge and skills to develop, implement, evaluate, translate and disseminate research in the epidemiology and prevention of maternal, perinatal and childhood diseases. In the previous funding period we provided RPPE research training to 8 pre-doctoral and 5 postdoctoral fellows.
