Multidisciplinary Training Program in Cardiovascular Epidemiology

 描述（由申请人提供）：我们为医学博士和博士提供为期2年的心血管流行病学多学科培训计划，以追求学术和科学研究事业，解决专业的当代培训需求，并使用流行病学数据库作为基础。该计划的目标是：1。每两年培养5名博士后，分3个方向：a.三名转化流行病学研究方向的受训人员; B.统计遗传学-基因组学轨道中的一名受训人员; c.一名生物信息学-计算生物学方向的实习生。2.至少有20%的少数族裔毕业。3.使学员能够过渡到独立，教师地位或第一份工作。为了实现这些目标，我们提供了以下具体目标：（1）提供广泛的多学科培训（包括课程工作）的方法，以心血管流行病学研究与课程映射到三个轨道和相应的核心能力。(2)在既定的NIH或NSF资助的研究者的指导下，为每位学员精心策划和指导特定的独立原创研究项目;并提供真实的导师（包括职业指导，IDP，赠款写作）和专业发展，以促进向独立，教师地位或职业发展的过渡。 第一份工作(3)实施招聘战略，招聘和留住来自不同背景的学员，包括城市资源管理。（四）、全面评估培训计划的每个组成部分。该计划包括必要的课程（导致流行病学硕士或博士学位，酌情考虑到过去的培训和学员的职业目标），在三个轨道中的每一个广泛的研讨会系列的出席，与具有翻译和队列为基础的研究专业知识的优秀教师导师的互动，并参与旨在跨学科合作的具体计划。还包括期刊俱乐部，"工作进展"介绍，讨论小组，职业咨询，期刊实习和实习生交流计划。培训利用了FHS广泛的流行病学数据库和组学资源，以及来自CHARGE联盟的其他队列研究的数据。学员将发展撰写资助，科学手稿，口头陈述的专业技能，并接受研究，团队科学，领导力和行业合作的负责任行为的培训。总的来说，该计划旨在培养未来的心血管流行病学世界领导者。(End摘要）

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We offer a comprehensive 2-year multidisciplinary training program in cardiovascular epidemiology for MDs and PhDs to pursue an academic and scientific research career addressing contemporary training needs of the specialty and using epidemiological databases as a foundation. The program goals are: 1. to graduate 5 postdoctoral trainees every 2 years in 3 different tracks: a. three trainees in the translational epidemiological research track; b. one trainee in the statistical genetics-genomics track; c. one trainee in the bioinformatics- computational biology track. 2. to graduate at least 20% underrepresented minorities. 3. to enable trainees to transition to independence, faculty status or a first job. To achieve these goals, we offer the following specific aims: (1) Provide broad multidisciplinary training (including course work) in approaches to cardiovascular epidemiological research with a curriculum mapped to the three tracks and corresponding core competencies. (2) Feature carefully planned and mentored track-specific independent, original research projects for each trainee under the direction of an established NIH- or NSF-funded investigator; and to provide authentic mentorship (including career guidance, an IDP, grant writing) and professional development to facilitate transition to independence, faculty status or a first job. (3) implement a recruitment strategy to recruit and retain trainees from diverse backgrounds, including URM. (4). Evaluate each component of the training program comprehensively. The program includes required coursework (leading to a master's or doctoral degree in epidemiology, as appropriate given past training and career goals of trainees), attendance at a broad range of seminar series in each of the three tracks, interaction with outstanding faculty mentors with expertise in translational and cohort-based research, and participation in specific programs aimed at transdisciplinary collaboration. Also included are journal clubs, "Work-in- Progress" presentations, discussion groups, career counseling, a journal internship and a trainee exchange program. The training leverages the extensive epidemiological databases and Omics resources at FHS, and data from other cohort studies that are part of the CHARGE consortium. Trainees will develop professional skills in writing grants, scientific manuscripts, oral presentations, and undergo training in the responsible conduct of research, team science, and leadership and industry collaborations. Overall, the program is designed to prepare the future world leaders in cardiovascular epidemiology. (End of Abstract)
