 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Since this training program was first funded 25 y ago, the specific problems that confront maternal and child nutrition (MCN) have not gone away, but rather crucial challenges continue to exist and new ones have emerged. As a result, there remains a compelling need to understand not only how to prevent nutritional problems in women of childbearing age and young children but also how to mitigate the effects of these problems on the later health of both women and their children. The proposed program is significant because, in the short term, it will fill a major gap in training in MCN and, in the long term, individuals trained by this program should fill a major gap in producing and interpreting integrative research on MCN. We propose to train 4 (3 predoctoral and 1 postdoctoral) trainees by leveraging the resources of the renowned graduate program in the Division of Nutritional Sciences at Cornell University, one of the largest academic units devoted to human nutrition in the country. The proposed program will be run by its long-time Program Director, Dr. Kathleen M. Rasmussen, with assistance from a 3-member Executive Committee of co-trainers. Program oversight will be provided by the Division's External Advisory Board. Trainees will be mentored by a total of 13 trainers, who have active research programs as well as an exemplary training record. The co-trainers have differing yet complementary skills in a wide range of disciplines related to MCN as well as a long history of collaboration with one another in both training and research. Trainees will complete a core curriculum consisting of 3 graduate-level courses: Topics in Maternal and Child Nutrition, Grant Writing, and Translational Research and Evidence-based Policy and Practice in Nutrition. These courses will be supplemented by the highly valued weekly meeting of the MCN Research Forum and also training in the responsible conduct of research. Use of an individualized Professional Development Plan along with our innovative Collaborative Projects will further enhance the trainees' career and leadership development as well as their resilience in the face of a changing environment for research. Excellent facilities are available in the Division for the proposed program, including well-equipped laboratories, animal facilities, an outpatient metabolic unit, an innovative mass spectroscopy facility and extensive support for statistical computing. Trainees will also have access to shared research facilities throughout the campus and academic centers and institutes that focus on subjects that range from vertebrate genomics to food and nutrition policy. As a result of the proposed program, pre- and postdoctoral trainees will be able to identify the most important problems in MCN, address them with their research, and effectively translate the results of their research into novel policies an appropriate actions.

 描述（由适用提供）：由于该培训计划是25年前首次资助的，因此面临的材料和儿童营养（MCN）的具体问题并没有消失，但仍然存在着重要的挑战，并且出现了新的挑战。结果，仍然需要不仅了解如何预防育龄和幼儿的妇女的营养问题，而且还要了解如何减轻这些问题对妇女及其子女后来健康的影响。拟议的计划很重要，因为在短期内，它将填补MCN培训的重大差距，从长远来看，接受该计划培训的个人应该填补在生产和解释MCN综合研究方面的主要空白。我们建议通过利用康奈尔大学营养科学系的著名研究生计划的资源来培训4（3名托管前和1名博士后）学员，康奈尔大学营养科学系是该国人类营养的最大学术部门之一。拟议的计划将由其长期计划主任凯瑟琳·拉斯穆森（Kathleen M.计划监督将由该部门的外部顾问委员会提供。总共有13名培训师将考虑学员，他们拥有活跃的研究计划以及示例培训记录。在与MCN相关的广泛学科以及在培训和研究中相互合作的悠久历史上，共同培训者具有差异化但完整的技能。学员将完成一个由3个研究生课程组成的核心课程：孕产妇和儿童营养的主题，赠款写作以及转化研究以及基于证据的营养政策和实践。这些课程将通过MCN研究论坛的高度重视每周会议以及负责任的研究进行培训来补充。使用个性化的专业发展计划以及我们的创新协作项目将进一步增强学员的职业和领导力发展以及面对不断变化的研究环境的韧性。该计划的部门提供了出色的设施，包括设备齐全的实验室，动物设施，门诊代谢单元，创新的质谱设施以及对统计计算的广泛支持。学员还可以访问整个校园，学术中心和研究所的共享研究设施，这些研究所的重点是从脊椎动物基因组学到食品和营养政策的受试者。由于拟议的计划，预科学员和博士后学员将能够确定MCN中最重要的问题，通过研究解决，并有效地将其研究结果转化为新政策，以采取适当的行动。
