Biostatistics Training in the Omics Era

该项目每年将支持8名博士后研究生的培训 生物统计学领域，重点是在现代问题上的应用 基因组科学。该培训结合了严格的统计学课程 方法和理论，生物信息学和基因组科学的附加课程， 和扩展的实践协作培训经验。对于后者， 受训人员将作为匹配基因组学的监督统计顾问开始 实验室，然后在一年的过程中发展成为一个或多个活跃的合作者 更多的实验项目。大多数学生在入学后的头三年将得到资助 研究生课程。 科学训练将辅之以责任人的训练 进行专门为满足研究人员在以下方面的需要而开发的研究 这片区域。培训涉及生物统计学、基因组学和 哲学系教员。 我们描述了一项积极的招聘计划，以增强我们培训的多样性 和研究生项目，包括一个夏季项目，吸引教职员工和 从少数民族服务机构到北卡罗来纳州的本科生 暑期启动与培训教师的协作工作。

This project will support the training of eight predoctoral students each year in the area of biostatistics, with an emphasis on applications to modern problems in genomic science. The training combines rigorous coursework in statistical methods and theory, additional courses in bioinformatics and genomic science, and an extended practical collaborative training experience. For the latter, trainees will begin as supervised statistical consultants for a matched genomics lab, then over the course of a year progress into active collaborators in one or more lab projects. Most students will be supported for the first three years of their graduate programs. The scientific training will be supplemented with training in the responsible conduct of research developed specifically to meet the needs of researchers in this area. The training involves collaboration among biostatistics, genomics, and philosophy faculty members. An active recruiting plan is described for enhancing the diversity of our training and graduate programs, including a summer program bringing faculty and undergraduate students from minority serving institutions to NC State during the summer to initiate collaborative work with training faculty.
