Optimizing Health in Childhood: Interdisciplanary Training in Health Development

描述（由申请人提供）：在健康发展科学（ITSHD）的跨学科培训计划的总体目标是准备护士科学家了解生物学和社会和环境背景如何在儿童期交叉影响生命过程健康发展，并利用这些知识来开发严格的跨学科研究计划，以优化健康。这一培训方案的重点是儿童的健康发展，广义上包括从受孕到青春期的这一时期。ITSHD由两个基于理论的方法的工作基础上的变革框架指导：Halfon和Hochstein的生命过程健康发展（LCHDF）框架，以及哈佛健康儿童中心的Shonkoff及其同事的生态生物发展框架（EBDF）。这一框架改变了卫生发展的概念化方式，将重点放在生命过程的健康轨迹上，并整合了个人和公共卫生的健康生产模式。这个跨学科的培训计划的目标是：一）招聘和留住多样化和合格的学员，特别强调学士学位和第二学位课程的学生。㈡培养受训人员在儿童期健康发展的科学领域内进行严格的研究（即，从怀孕到青春期）。㈢培养受训人员在跨学科研究小组内与儿童一起开展和实施道德健康研究。㈣培养受训人员成功地将健康发展科学转化为临床实践和卫生政策干预措施，以改善儿童健康。在培训期间，将支持10名博士前学生。目标是招收一半硕士后学生和一半第二学位或学士后学生。硕士后的受训人员将获得两年的支助;学士后和第二学位的受训人员将获得三年的支助。拟议的培训计划建立在OSU护理学院的相当大的优势之上，其中包括获得个人F31奖项的特殊记录，与全国儿童医院，OSU儿科和社会学部门的研究人员的极好的跨学科关系。丰富的机会包括由健康科学研究中心和国家研讨会提供的既定跨学科研讨会计划，这些研讨会涉及干预研究并将研究转化为护理学院主办的实践。研究培训将通过制定和执行个性化计划来完成，包括课程作业，参加研讨会以及参与跨学科资助的项目教师研究。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overarching objective of this interdisciplinary training program in the science of health development (ITSHD) is to prepare nurse scientists to understand how biology and social and environmental contexts intersect during childhood to influence life course health development and to use this knowledge to develop rigorous interdisciplinary programs of research to optimize health. The focus of this training program is on health development in children, broadly defined to include the period from conception through adolescence. The ITSHD is guided by a transformative framework based in the work of two prominent theory- based approaches: the Life Course Health Development (LCHDF) framework by Halfon and Hochstein, and the ecobiodevelopmental framework (EBDF) by Shonkoff and colleagues at Harvard's Healthy Child Center. This framework transforms how health development is conceptualized by its focus on life course health trajectories and integrates the health production models from individual and public health. The objectives of this interdisciplinary training program are to: i) Recruit and retain diverse and qualified trainees wit special emphasis on students in baccalaureate and second degree programs. ii) Prepare trainees to conduct rigorous research within the scientific area of health development during childhood (i.e., the period from conception through adolescence). iii) Prepare trainees to develop and implement ethical health research with children within interdisciplinary research teams. iv) Prepare trainees to successfully translate the science of health development into clinical practice and health policy interventions that will improve child health. Ten predoctoral students will be supported over the training period. The target is to admit half as post-masters students and half as second-degree or post-baccalaureate students. Post masters trainees will be supported for 2 years; post-baccalaureate and second degree trainees for 3 years. The proposed training plan builds on considerable strengths within the OSU College of Nursing that includes an exceptional track record in receipt of individual F31 awards, superb interdisciplinary relationships with researchers at Nationwide Children's Hospital, the OSU departments of pediatrics and sociology. Enrichment opportunities include established interdisciplinary seminar programs offered by research centers in the health sciences and national workshops addressing interventional research and translating research into practice hosted by the College of Nursing. Research training will be accomplished through the development and execution of individualized plans that include coursework, attendance at seminars, and the involvement in interdisciplinary funded research of program faculty.
