DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In this application, we propose a continuation of the very successful Workshop for Junior Biostatisticians in Cancer Research, renamed the Workshop for Junior Biostatisticians in Health Research to reflect the important contributions of biostatisticians in all areas of medical and public health research. This workshop has been enthusiastically received by the biostatistics community, with recent workshops attracting 2-3 times as many applicants as available slots. This Workshop will be held in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Eastern North American Region of the International Biometric Society, which is the major professional gathering of biostatistical researchers in the United States. Through sessions featuring prominent senior researchers, successful mid-level researchers, NIH officials, and individuals with other specific expertise, the Workshop will offer participants in-depth coverage of key topics with ample opportunity to ask candid questions and seek advice. The specific objectives of the Workshop, which together comprise a broad program designed to enhance the skills and knowledge of junior biostatistical researchers, are as follows. 1. Publication: through a session devoted to journal editorial process and structure, and to research and writing skills, the Workshop will provide participants with information to improve their success in conducting quality research and publishing research results. 2. Funding: a Workshop session covering funding sources for biostatistical research, the grant application and review process, and strategies for grant writing will provide participants with information needed to increase chances of funding success. 3. Collaboration: a Workshop session on collaboration skills essential for a biostatistician will enable junior researchers to serve as more productive and valued members of an inter-disciplinary team. 4. Career development and promotion: senior biostatisticians with extensive experience in the promotion process will form a panel to discuss criteria for promotion and career development in academics and government. Public Health Relevance: The Workshop for Junior Biostatisticians in Health Research is designed to enhance the skills and knowledge of junior biostatistical researchers in four key areas: interdisciplinary collaboration, publication, grant writing, and career development and promotion. Senior researchers will meet with junior investigators the day prior to the annual ENAR meeting to provide advice and tips that will help the next generation of biostatisticians meet emerging challenges in medical and public health research.

描述（由申请人提供）：在本申请中，我们建议延续非常成功的癌症研究初级生物统计学家研讨会，更名为健康研究初级生物统计学家研讨会，以反映生物统计学家在医学和公共卫生研究的所有领域的重要贡献。该研讨会受到生物统计界的热烈欢迎，最近的研讨会吸引了2-3倍于可用名额的申请人。该讲习班将与国际生物统计学会北美东部区域年会同时举行，该年会是美国生物统计研究人员的主要专业聚会。通过具有突出的高级研究人员，成功的中级研究人员，国家卫生研究院官员和具有其他特定专业知识的个人的会议，研讨会将为参与者提供深入的关键主题报道，并有充分的机会提出坦率的问题和寻求建议。讲习班的具体目标，其中包括一个广泛的方案，旨在提高技能和知识的初级生物统计研究人员，如下。 1.出版物：通过专门讨论期刊编辑过程和结构以及研究和写作技巧的会议，讲习班将向参加者提供信息，以提高他们在进行高质量研究和发表研究成果方面的成功率。 2.资金来源：研讨会将讨论生物统计研究的资金来源、赠款申请和审查过程以及赠款撰写策略，为与会者提供增加资助成功机会所需的信息。 3.协作：关于生物统计学家所必需的协作技能的讲习班将使初级研究人员成为跨学科团队中更有成效和更有价值的成员。 4.职业发展和晋升：在晋升过程中有丰富经验的高级生物统计师将组成一个小组，讨论学术界和政府的晋升和职业发展标准。 公共卫生相关性：卫生研究中的初级生物统计学家研讨会旨在提高初级生物统计学研究人员在四个关键领域的技能和知识：跨学科合作，出版，赠款写作，职业发展和推广。高级研究人员将在年度ENAR会议前一天与初级研究人员会面，提供建议和提示，帮助下一代生物统计学家应对医学和公共卫生研究中出现的挑战。
