University of Washington Reproductive, Perinatal and Pediatric Epidemiology

描述(由申请人提供)：项目摘要/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续签。我们通过现有的流行病学研究生学位课程将培训与流行病学、生物统计学、卫生服务、环境健康、生殖、围产期和儿科医学方面的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，以及合作研究计划和中心，为RPPE研究员提供研究培训经验。69名RPPE教员的教学和研究活动为获得与流行病学和预防不利的孕产妇、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。我们每年可为6名博士后和2名博士后提供培训。博士后实习生攻读流行病学博士学位，博士后实习生有资格但不被要求攻读流行病学硕士或公共卫生硕士学位。受训者的组合是合作研究团队的典范，我们预计这些团队将继续加强生殖、围产期和儿科流行病学领域的研究培训和生产力。该培训方案旨在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)的数量，他们具有开发、实施、评估、翻译和传播流行病学和预防孕产妇、围产期和儿童疾病方面的研究的知识和技能。在之前的资助期间，我们为8名博士后和5名博士后研究员提供了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.
