DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Utah is applying for the second renewal of its training grant with the National Library of Medicine (NLM). Our long term objective is to continue a program of research informatics excellence, carrying forward a tradition that dates back to 1964. In the five years since our first renewal, 103 graduate students have entered training. In our total 10 years of funding, over 60 NLM-funded graduate students have completed training or are currently working towards a degree. We currently have 41 predoctoral and 30 postdoctoral candidates for a total of 71 active students; over 40% of whom are focused on doctoral research. Twenty to thirty percent of all Departmental graduate students have been supported by the NLM training grant over the past ten years. The specific aims of this proposal center on training graduate and postdoctoral students to develop broad informatics research expertise in clinical, public health, and translational/genetic application areas. Under the direction of a new Department Chair, who is also the PI of this grant, we have recently revised and updated our core curriculum that stresses 20 core competencies under the broad rubrics of foundational skills and applications proficiency. This curriculum review is also creating focus for our three training areas and the development of new training courses and experiences. The Department of Biomedical Informatics at the University of Utah is in the process of growth and change with new leadership, and here we describe our training successes to date as well as our expanded scope of training for this new funding period. Public Health Informatics has been defined as the study of systems for creating information and managing knowledge to understand, protect, and improve health in society. Our public health informatics program will train students in the development and application of technologies that will aid public health practitioners in these activities. We will train students to build tools that will assist educators, researchers, physicians, and individuals in the community to define and address public health issues.

描述（由申请人提供）： 犹他大学正在向国家医学图书馆 (NLM) 申请第二次续签培训补助金。我们的长期目标是继续实施卓越的研究信息学计划， 发扬自1964年以来的传统。自第一次更新以来的五年里，已有103名研究生接受培训。在我们总共 10 年的资助中，超过 60 名 NLM 资助的研究生已经完成培训或目前正在攻读学位。 目前，我们有41名博士生和30名博士后，总共71名在校学生；其中超过40%专注于博士研究。在过去的十年里，百分之二十到百分之三十的院系研究生得到了 NLM 培训补助金的支持。 该提案的具体目标是培训研究生和博士后学生，以培养临床、公共卫生和转化/遗传应用领域广泛的信息学研究专业知识。在新任系主任（同时也是这笔资助的 PI）的指导下，我们最近修订和更新了我们的核心课程，强调基础技能和应用熟练程度的广泛范围内的 20 项核心能力。此次课程审查还重点关注我们的三个培训领域以及新培训课程和体验的开发。 犹他大学生物医学信息学系正处于新领导层的发展和变革过程中，在这里我们描述了迄今为止我们的培训成功以及我们在新资助期间扩大的培训范围。 公共卫生信息学被定义为对创建信息和管理知识以理解、保护和改善社会健康的系统的研究。我们的公共卫生信息学项目将培训学生开发和应用技术，以帮助公共卫生从业者开展这些活动。我们将培训学生构建工具，帮助教育工作者、研究人员、医生和社区中的个人定义和解决公共卫生问题。
