This proposal for the Harvard Biomedical Informatics and Data Science Research Training (BIRT) program recognizes that the field of biomedical informatics is an increasingly relevant, if not essential, field for medicine and research in the health sciences. The practice of clinical care and biomedical investigation each constitute complex enterprises that are dependent on the mastery of enormous data streams. There is a crucial need for trained individuals who are able to integrate, interpret, and act upon the large-scale, high-throughput, and complex data that are generated in the course of biomedical research and the practice of medicine. The primary aim of this proposal is to contribute to the cadre of highly trained independent and successful researchers in the field of biomedical informatics. This proposal builds on the strengths of our many years of National Library of Medicine (NLM) fellowship training. The current proposed program will be overseen and administered by the Department of Biomedical Informatics at Harvard Medical School (HMS) and will involve collaboration with faculty at HMS and its affiliated hospitals, including Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston Children's Hospital, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Dana Farber Cancer Institute, and Massachusetts General Hospital. In addition, the program will work closely with other Harvard University Schools in the university-wide data science initiative, and, in particular, with its Data Science Education Working Group, of which the proposed PI is a member. We meet all requirements of the current NLM RFA, which focuses on those informatics areas that directly pertain to health-related application domains. The breadth and depth of our research laboratories, real-world clinical systems, research activities, academic programs, and experienced faculty provide an outstanding environment to mentor and instruct trainees in all four of the NLM-identified focus areas – healthcare informatics, translational bioinformatics, clinical research informatics, and public health informatics. We request support for a total of fifteen trainees per year: ten at the postdoctoral level and five at the predoctoral level. In addition, we propose to train four short-term trainees each summer. BIRT trainees work with internationally recognized faculty on high-profile grants and research projects. The program has a formal, required academic component, which includes the Master's degree for all postdoctoral trainees, and the PhD degree for all predoctoral students. Trainees' overall progression throughout the training period is closely monitored. Trainees are regularly evaluated through their course work and through progress on their research projects.

哈佛生物医学信息学和数据科学研究培训 (BIRT) 计划的提案 认识到生物医学信息学领域对于医学来说即使不是必不可少的，也是一个日益相关的领域 和健康科学研究。临床护理实践和生物医学研究各自构成 复杂的企业依赖于对大量数据流的掌握。迫切需要 训练有素的个人，能够整合、解释大规模、高通量和 在生物医学研究和医学实践过程中产生的复杂数据。这 该提案的主要目的是培养训练有素、独立且成功的骨干队伍 生物医学信息学领域的研究人员。 该提案建立在我们多年的国家医学图书馆 (NLM) 奖学金的优势之上 训练。目前拟议的计划将由生物医学部监督和管理 哈佛医学院 (HMS) 信息学将涉及与 HMS 及其教员的合作 附属医院，包括贝斯以色列女执事医疗中心、波士顿儿童医院、布莱根和 妇女医院、达纳法伯癌症研究所和马萨诸塞州总医院。此外， 该计划将与哈佛大学其他学院在全校数据科学计划中密切合作， 特别是其数据科学教育工作组，拟议的 PI 是该工作组的成员。我们 满足当前 NLM RFA 的所有要求，该要求侧重于直接相关的信息学领域 到与健康相关的应用领域。我们研究实验室的广度和深度、真实世界的临床 系统、研究活动、学术项目和经验丰富的教师提供了卓越的环境 指导和指导 NLM 确定的所有四个重点领域的学员——医疗保健信息学、 转化生物信息学、临床研究信息学和公共卫生信息学。 我们请求每年为总共 15 名学员提供支持：其中 10 名是博士后级别，5 名是博士后级别。 博士前水平。此外，我们建议每年夏季培训四名短期学员。 BIRT学员工作 拥有国际公认的教师，负责高调的资助和研究项目。该计划有一个正式的、 所需的学术部分，包括所有博士后学员的硕士学位和博士学位 所有博士前学生的学位。学员在整个培训期间的整体进步密切相关 被监控。通过课程作业和研究进展定期对学员进行评估 项目。
