DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Pittsburgh proposes a five-year renewal of its training program in Biomedical Informatics. The T15 grant is currently entering its 25th consecutive year. Our program is notable for the long and distinguished history of biomedical informatics research in Pittsburgh, the continuous evolution and refinement of our educational programs, the strong institutional commitment to biomedical informatics and our training program, and the rich biomedical and computational research environment in which our training program is set. The program has an administrative home in the Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI) within the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. DBMI provides space, equipment, and financial support for training program administration, faculty, graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. The program is supported by an interdepartmental core faculty of 29 faculty members, including all 17 faculty members with primary appointments in DBMI. The Training Program Director, a tightly knit leadership group of faculty co- directors, and two experienced staff members support the overall operation of the program. The Pittsburgh BMI Training Program offers research training in all four sub-disciplines of Biomedical Informatics: translational bioinformatics, clinical research informatics, healthcare/clinical informatics, and public health informatics. Additionally, we also offer specialized research training in dental informatics. Students in our T15-funded training program may pursue an MS or PhD in Biomedical Informatics, an MS or PhD in Intelligent Systems - Biomedical Informatics Track, an MD/PhD through the Medical Scientist Training Program, or advanced postdoctoral research. The training program has undergone significant enhancements during the past funding period including a new core curriculum, improved advising structure, improved program evaluation plan, and enhanced efforts to recruit trainee candidates, including candidates from under-represented minorities and disadvantaged backgrounds. Enhancements for the proposed funding period include new advanced graduate seminars, new professional development content, and enhanced training in the responsible conduct of research. We have a strong track record of success in training biomedical informatics researchers in all sub- disciplines. Trainees from our program are publishing research articles in high impact journals in the field, winning national awards for their research, writing successful K grants and individual fellowship awards, and securing research positions in academics, industry and government upon graduation.

描述（由申请人提供）： 匹兹堡大学提出生物医学信息学培训计划的五年更新。T15资助目前已进入连续第25年。我们的计划是值得注意的生物医学信息学研究在匹兹堡，我们的教育计划，对生物医学信息学和我们的培训计划的强大的机构承诺的不断发展和完善的悠久而杰出的历史，以及丰富的生物医学和计算研究环境中，我们的培训计划设置。该计划在匹兹堡大学医学院的生物医学信息学系（DBMI）有一个行政部门。DBMI为培训项目管理人员、教师、研究生和博士后学者提供空间、设备和财政支持。该计划由29名教师组成的跨部门核心教师支持，其中包括所有17名在DBMI担任主要职务的教师。培训计划主任，一个紧密团结的领导小组的教师共同主任，和两个经验丰富的工作人员支持该计划的整体运作。 匹兹堡BMI培训计划提供生物医学信息学所有四个子学科的研究培训：翻译生物信息学，临床研究信息学，医疗保健/临床信息学和公共卫生信息学。此外，我们还提供牙科信息学的专业研究培训。在我们的T15资助的培训计划的学生可以追求生物医学信息学的MS或博士学位，智能系统的MS或博士学位-生物医学信息学轨道，通过医学科学家培训计划的MD/博士学位，或先进的博士后研究。 在过去的供资期间，培训方案经历了重大改进，包括新的核心课程，改进的咨询结构，改进的方案评估计划，以及加强努力招募受训候选人，包括来自代表性不足的少数民族和弱势背景的候选人。拟议资助期的改进包括新的高级研究生研讨会，新的专业发展内容，以及加强负责任的研究培训。 我们在培养生物医学信息学研究人员的所有子学科方面都有很好的成功记录。我们计划的学员在该领域的高影响力期刊上发表研究文章，为他们的研究赢得国家奖项，撰写成功的K赠款和个人奖学金，并在毕业后在学术界，工业界和政府中获得研究职位。
