CVD Epidemiology Training Program

描述(由申请人提供)： 这项提议是对机构国家研究服务奖培训补助金的竞争性续签申请，这将继续成为华盛顿大学心血管疾病流行病学和预防培训的重点。我们建议继续使用以下培训策略：通过一所优秀的公共卫生和社区医学学院现有的流行病学研究生学位课程进行培训，并结合在流行病学和心血管疾病预防方面的跨学科研究经验。华盛顿大学公共卫生和社区医学院流行病学系将提供正式的课程和学位课程；华盛顿大学医学院医学系心血管健康研究组将提供研究经验。华盛顿大学活跃于心血管研究的教职员工的教学和研究活动在过去四年中得到了扩大，并为获得与心血管疾病流行病学和预防有关的正式培训和研究经验提供了各种机会，包括：心血管流行病学、遗传流行病学、分子/生化流行病学、营养流行病学、药物流行病学、传染病流行病学、神经流行病学、环境流行病学和预防心脏病健康服务。该项目将涉及两名博士前学生(每年6个名额) 寻求流行病学博士学位，以及攻读流行病学硕士或M.P.H.学位的博士后、医生和其他卫生专业人员(每年2个名额)。受训者的组合模拟了我们发现提高研究效率的合作研究团队。华盛顿大学心血管流行病学培训项目最初是由NHLBI于1998年资助的。该项目吸引了优秀的学生投身心血管流行病学和预防领域。虽然只有两名学员完成了 到目前为止，每个人都继续在医学院和公共卫生学院担任教职，并在心血管流行病学领域做出了重要贡献。目前，该项目有2名博士后和5名博士后实习生。简而言之，该方案已开始实现其目标，即增加心血管流行病学博士和内科流行病学家的人数，他们拥有发展、实施、评估、翻译和传播流行病学和流行病学研究的知识和技能。 预防心血管疾病。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is a competitive renewal application for an Institutional National Research Service Award training grant that will continue a focus for training in the epidemiology and prevention of cardiovascular diseases at the University of Washington. We propose to continue to use the following training strategy: combine training through existing graduate degree programs in Epidemiology at an outstanding School of Public Health and Community Medicine with interdisciplinary research experiences in the epidemiology and prevention of cardiovascular disease. The Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health and Community Medicine, University of Washington, will provide the formal coursework and degree programs; and, the Cardiovascular Health Research Unit, Department of Medicine, School of Medicine, University of Washington will provide the research experience. The teaching and research activities of the faculty at the University of Washington who are active in cardiovascular research have expanded over the past four years and provide a variety of opportunities for formal training and research experiences related to the epidemiology and prevention of cardiovascular diseases including: cardiovascular epidemiology, genetic epidemiology, molecular/biochemical epidemiology, nutritional epidemiology, pharmacoepidemiology, infectious disease epidemiology, neuro-epidemiology, environmental epidemiology, and preventive cardiology health services. The program will involve both pre-doctoral students (6 slots per year) who seek the Ph.D. in Epidemiology and post-doctoral students, physicians and other health professionals (2 slots per year), who seek the M.S. or M.P.H. degree in Epidemiology. The mix of trainees models the collaborative research teams that we have found enhance research productivity. The University of Washington Cardiovascular Epidemiology Training Program was initially funded by NHLBI in 1998. The program has attracted outstanding students to careers in cardiovascular epidemiology and prevention. While only a two trainees have completed the program to date, each has continued on to faculty positions in Schools of Medicine and Public Health and have made important contributions to the field of cardiovascular epidemiology. Currently, there are 2 post-doctoral and 5 pre-doctoral trainees in the Program. In short, the program has begun to achieve its goal of increasing the numbers of professionals, both Ph.D. cardiovascular epidemiologists and physician-epidemiologists, with the knowledge and skills to develop, implement, evaluate, translate, and disseminate research in the epidemiology and prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
