University of Utah Biomedical Informatics Training Grant

项目总结/摘要 该提案解释了犹他州将如何继续加强生物医学系 信息学研究生信息学培训的典范记录。我们的部门庆祝其 2015年是它成立50周年，并为它对信息科学的影响和对 信息学社区。在这第四次更新申请中，我们提出了我们的计划， 我们将继续致力于为客户提供专业的服务，以满足我们快速发展的领域的挑战。 我们的长期宪章坚定不移地寻求创造和维持一个最先进的， 适应性强，严格的培训环境，促进卓越的研究和创新。 我们计划的使命建立在四个重点领域：1）临床信息学; 2） 临床研究信息学; 3）人口和公共卫生信息学;以及4） 生物信息学和统计遗传学。贯穿这些重点领域的是三个强大的 方法线：1）社会技术设计和评估，2）生物医学自然语言 3）数据分析和决策支持。这种集成程度大大提高了 课程的力量和严谨性。其结果将是学员完全具备必要的 掌握理论，掌握技能，以及影响健康所需的深厚知识基础 在整个研究过程中取得了重大成果。 我们的培训计划的目标是： 1)提供一个严谨和综合的课程，让学生有必要的 生物医学信息学创新和有效的研究生涯的基础。 2)继续招聘最高素质和最多样化的受训人员，包括 代表少数民族和妇女。 3)为了确保学生在道德，严谨， 负责任的研究。 4)提供一个全面的研究环境，尽可能广泛地 教师和学生的资源，以鼓励创造性和创新性的研究。 我们的实习生研究环境是无与伦比的。我们提供临床，公共卫生， 数据科学和转化临床研究机会。犹他州有一个超级计算机 基础设施以及全国最大的网络医疗保健设置之一，包括 主要的学术医疗中心;全州范围内的非营利性医疗保健网络;和区域 退伍军人管理局医疗中心。这三位都是信息学领域的国家领导人。

Project Summary/Abstract This proposal explains how Utah will continue to enhance the Department of Biomedical Informatics' exemplary record of graduate informatics training. Our Department celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2015 and is justly proud of its impact on the science of informatics and on the informatics community. In this fourth renewal application, we present our plans for rejuvenation and growth carefully tailored to meet the challenges of our rapidly evolving field. Our long-term charter has unwaveringly sought to create and sustain a state-of-the-art, adaptive, and rigorous training environment that promotes research excellence and innovation. The mission of our program builds on four general areas of focus: 1) Clinical Informatics; 2) Clinical Research Informatics; 3) Population and Public Health Informatics; and 4) Bioinformatics and Statistical Genetics. Woven through these areas of focus are three strong methodology lines: 1) sociotechnical design and evaluation, 2) biomedical natural language processing, and 3) data analytic and decision support. This level of integration greatly enhances the power and rigor of the curriculum. The result will be trainees fully equipped with the requisite command of theory, mastery of skills, and deep knowledge base required to impact health outcomes in major ways throughout their research. The aims of our training program are: 1) To provide a rigorous and integrated curriculum giving students the necessary foundation for an innovative and effective research career in biomedical informatics. 2) To continue to recruit the highest quality and most diverse trainees, including under- represented minorities and women. 3) To ensure students have strong foundations in the conduct of ethical, rigorous, and responsible research. 4) To provide a comprehensive research environment with the broadest possible variety of resources for faculty and students to encourage creative and innovative research. Our trainee research environment is unparalleled. We provide access to clinical, public health, data science, and translational clinical research opportunities. Utah has a superb computational infrastructure as well as one of the largest network healthcare settings in the nation, including a major academic medical center; a statewide nonprofit healthcare network; and a regional Veterans Administration Medical Center. All three are national leaders in informatics.
