Program Summary: The Training Program in Reproductive, Perinatal, and Pediatric (RPP) Life Course Epidemiology – sponsored by the Departments of Epidemiology, Social and Behavioral Sciences, and Biostatistics at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health – aims to prepare the next generation of life course-focused, innovative, transdisciplinary investigators in the field of RPP research. The Program is further supported by the departments of Environmental Health, Nutrition, and Immunology and Infectious Diseases, reflecting the transdisciplinary nature of RPP life course epidemiology. The Program boasts accomplished faculty who have worked collaboratively to advance our understanding of the critical issues faced in the field of RPP life course epidemiologic health research. The overarching goals of the Program are to train pre- and postdoctoral fellows to become future leading scholars who are: 1) knowledgeable about the current state of science in RPP life course epidemiology; 2) skilled in advanced epidemiological and biostatistical methods to undertake RPP life course research; 3) skilled in effective communication, with a strong ability to formulate and write research proposals and scientific manuscripts for publication, as well as to interpret and disseminate data to scientific and lay communities; and 4) anchored in peer and professional networks including individual and group mentorship opportunities that support continuous professional development, leadership, teamwork, and access to resources to translate knowledge into new independent areas of RPP life course epidemiologic research. The Program aims to not only develop knowledge, skills, and capacity toward scientific excellence in RPP sciences, but also inspire a generation of young scholars to adapt to the evolving research climate, which will increasingly require a transdisciplinary, team-science approach to tackle contemporary and future public health issues. Thus, pre- and postdoctoral fellows will follow transdisciplinary training involving a combination of coursework, seminars, practicum, and independent and collaborative research in RPP life course epidemiology. A key aspect of this application is a cutting-edge mentoring plan, which involves assigning at least three mentors from different career stages, with expertise in the fellow’s broad area of research interest. Each fellow will obtain hands-on experience with study planning, data collection, and data analysis in a rich training environment leveraging well-established cohorts led by Program Faculty, with additional mentoring in competing for funds, reviewing and publishing, teaching and public speaking, and leadership and citizenship, which will provide a bridge to launching independent careers in RPP epidemiologic research. Aligned with the mission of the NICHD, this Program will strive to build capacity toward a scientific workforce that will be equipped to advance our understanding of significant reproductive, perinatal, and pediatric health issues, and use cutting-edge evidence to inform clinical practice, translate science into policy action, and implement prevention strategies to improve the health of women and children across the reproductive life course.

计划摘要：生殖，围产期和儿科（RPP）生命课程培训计划 流行病学-由流行病学，社会和行为科学， 哈佛TH Chan公共卫生学院的生物统计学-旨在为下一代生命做准备 在RPP研究领域以课程为重点，创新，跨学科的调查人员。述程序还被 在环境卫生、营养、免疫和传染病部门的支持下， 反映了RPP生命过程流行病学的跨学科性质。该计划已完成 教师谁合作，以促进我们在该领域所面临的关键问题的理解 生命历程流行病学健康研究。该计划的首要目标是进行产前培训和 博士后研究员成为未来的领先学者谁是：1）了解目前的状态， RPP生命过程流行病学科学; 2）熟练掌握先进的流行病学和生物统计学方法， 3）善于有效沟通，具有较强的制定和 撰写研究建议和科学手稿以供出版，以及解释和传播数据 4）扎根于同行和专业网络，包括个人和 支持持续专业发展、领导力、团队合作和 获取资源，将知识转化为RPP生命过程流行病学的新独立领域 research.该计划的目的不仅是发展知识，技能和科学卓越的能力， RPP科学，而且还激励一代年轻学者适应不断变化的研究气候， 将越来越需要一个跨学科，团队科学的方法来解决当代和未来的公共 健康问题。因此，博士前和博士后研究员将遵循跨学科的培训，包括组合 课程作业，研讨会，实习，以及RPP生活课程的独立和合作研究 流行病学此应用程序的一个关键方面是一个先进的指导计划，其中涉及分配在 至少三名来自不同职业阶段的导师，在研究员感兴趣的广泛领域具有专业知识。 每位研究员将获得丰富的研究计划，数据收集和数据分析的实践经验， 培训环境利用由计划教师领导的成熟的队伍，并在 竞争资金，审查和出版，教学和公开演讲，领导和公民， 这将为在RPP流行病学研究中开展独立职业生涯提供桥梁。对准 作为NICHD的使命，该计划将努力建设一支科学工作队伍， 有能力提高我们对重大生殖、围产期和儿科健康问题的理解， 使用尖端证据为临床实践提供信息，将科学转化为政策行动，并实施 预防战略，以改善妇女和儿童在整个生殖生命过程中的健康。
