项目摘要

This is a proposal for continuation of support for a postdoctoral research training program in Neuroepidemiology. To our knowledge, it is the oldest and one of the only NIH-funded Neuroepidemiology training programs in the US. Neuroepidemiology addresses the antecedents and risk factors, natural history, and, ultimately, the prevention of neurological diseases, and there is a critical need for clinician-scientists and public health scientists to study the epidemiology of neurological disorders in light of the aging of the population and advances in available tools to study these issues. The objective of the program is to prepare neurologists and other research scientists for research careers in the epidemiology of neurologic disorders. Since its inception, the program has trained neurologists and neuroscientists who are now professors or career research scientists at major academic institutions, the NIH, and elsewhere. The program, which completed its 37thyear of funding, capitalizes on the strengths of the Department of Neurology (Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons), the Departments of Epidemiology and Biostatistics (Mailman School of Public Health [MSPH]), and the inter-disciplinary structure of the Gertrude H. Sergievsky Center, all at Columbia University Medical Center. The program provides stimulating training in a research environment for developing neuroscientists who plan to use epidemiologic methods to study diseases of the nervous system, and have as a career goal a research or academic position. The structured, didactic training provided by the curriculum at the MSPH, combined with the opportunity to participate in ongoing epidemiologic studies of neurologic disease conducted by program faculty, provides trainees with optimal training for academic positions. Trainees will have the opportunity to work on large ongoing epidemiological studies utilizing different study designs, including case-control and prospective cohort studies such as the Northern Manhattan Study, the Washington Heights-Inwood Community Aging Project, the Consortium on Risk for Early Onset Parkinson's Disease, and others. Past trainees have successfully competed for independent funding from the NIH and other sources. We request support for four MD/DO neurologists or appropriate postdoctoral neuroscientists (PhD or equivalent) each year for five years. All trainees spend two years in the program, during which time sequenced didactic course work in epidemiology and biostatistics will be integrated with increasingly independent research activity. A degree (MS in Epidemiology) is the recommended course for most trainees. Trainees also meet weekly to present research and grant plans, and to discuss career development.

这是继续支持博士后研究培训计划的建议神经epidemiology。据我们所知，它是最古老的，也是唯一的NIH资助美国的神经性培训培训计划。神经ePidemiology解决了先例和风险因素，自然史以及最终预防神经系统疾病，并且对临床医生科学家和公共卫生科学家研究神经系统疾病的流行病学人口的老龄化和可用工具的进步来研究这些问题。该程序的目的是为神经病学职业的神经科医生和其他研究科学家准备神经系统流行病学的职业疾病。自成立以来，该计划已经培训了现在的神经科医生和神经科学家主要学术机构，NIH和其他地方的教授或职业研究科学家。该程序，完成了37年的资金，利用神经病学系的优势（Vagelos 医师和外科医生学院），流行病学和生物统计学系（邮递员学校公共卫生[MSPH]）和Gertrude H. Sergievsky中心的跨学科结构哥伦比亚大学医学中心。该计划在研究环境中提供刺激的培训开发计划使用流行病学方法研究神经系统疾病的神经科学家，并将其作为研究或学术地位的职业目标。由 MSPH的课程，加上参加正在进行的流行病学研究的机会计划学院进行的神经疾病，为受训者提供了为学术的最佳培训位置。学员将有机会利用不同的流行病学研究。研究设计，包括病例对照和前瞻性队列研究，例如曼哈顿北部研究华盛顿高地社区老化项目，早期发作帕金森氏症风险财团疾病等。过去的受训者已成功竞争NIH的独立资金，其他来源。我们要求支持四个MD/DO神经科医生或适当的博士后神经科学家（博士学位或同等学历）每年五年。所有学员在计划中花费了两年的时间，在此期间在流行病学和生物统计学方面的测序教学课程将与越来越多的独立的研究活动。对于大多数学员来说，推荐的课程是一个学位（流行病学的MS）。学员还每周开会以介绍研究和授予计划，并讨论职业发展。
