DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics (CCEB), the Gastroenterology Division (GD), both of the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) School of Medicine (SOM), and Penn's Leonard Davis Institute (LDI), in collaboration with the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (DGHN) within the SOM's Department of Pediatrics, seek the continuation of a highly successful research training program for clinically oriented investigators in Gastrointestinal Clinical Epidemiology. The overarching objective of this program is to train individuals who have completed their clinical training to be rigorous and independent academic clinical investigators in the broad field of gastroenterology. This training program consists of (1) a core curriculum of required courses in clinical epidemiology and health services research methodology and biostatistics; (2) a series of seminars in gastroenterology combining faculty expertise from the CCEB, LDI, and GD; (3) extensive independent readings and individualized tutorials; (4) a required course in gastroenterology epidemiology; (5) elective courses in advanced methods for epidemiology, health services research, and biostatistics; (6) a series of seminars and workshops designed to improve trainees' skills in presentations and manuscript/grant writing; (7) instruction in the responsible conduct of research and regulatory affairs; and (8) the development/completion of a clinical research project in gastrointestinal diseases, under supervision of a mentoring team comprised of at least one methodological, one clinical, and one biostatistical preceptor. The program is designed to achieve: (1) indepth knowledge of the research techniques appropriate for clinical epidemiology and clinically-oriented health services research investigation; (2) intensive, supervised research experiences; and (3) integration and cohesiveness among faculty and fellows through participation in CCEB, GD, and LDI lectures, seminars, and journal clubs. Fellows are candidates for a Master of Science in Clinical Epidemiology (MSCE) degree. When feasible, candidates are encouraged to seek a Ph.D. degree. The strengths of the ongoing Gastroenterology Clinical Epidemiology Training Program are a long history of successful NIH T32 research training programs in the CCEB, GD, and LDI; comprehensive and rigorous courses, seminars, and research programs for trainees; and a rich history of collaborative links among the programs. In addition, there are excellent basic science laboratories in the GD (supported by R01 grant funded investigators and an NIH/NIDDK Center for Digestive and Liver Diseases) as well as throughout the SOM, several large databases and tissue banks, and a deep commitment of all SOM Chairpersons and Program Directors to the successful implementation of this training program. The existence of a K30 grant (Clinical Research Curriculum Award), diverse faculety expertise in the CCEB, GD, DGHN, and LDI, and recent successes of trainees provide a strong rationale for the continuation of this successful program

描述（由申请人提供）： 临床流行病学和生物统计学中心（CCEB）、宾夕法尼亚大学（Penn）医学院（SOM）胃肠病学部（GD）和宾夕法尼亚大学伦纳德戴维斯研究所（LDI）与SOM儿科内的胃肠病学、肝病学和营养学部（DGHN）合作，寻求继续一个非常成功的研究培训计划，为临床导向的研究人员在胃肠道临床流行病学。该计划的总体目标是培养已经完成临床培训的个人成为广泛的胃肠病学领域的严格和独立的学术临床研究人员。 该培训计划包括：（1）临床流行病学和卫生服务研究方法学和生物统计学必修课程的核心课程;（2）结合CCEB，LDI和GD的教师专业知识的胃肠病学系列研讨会;（3）广泛的独立阅读和个性化辅导;（4）胃肠病学流行病学必修课程;（5）胃肠病学流行病学研究方法学和生物统计学。（5）流行病学、卫生服务研究和生物统计学先进方法的选修课程;（6）一系列研讨会和讲习班，旨在提高学员的演讲和撰写手稿/赠款的技能;（7）指导负责任地进行研究和管理事务;以及（8）在由至少一名方法学、一名临床和一名生物统计学导师组成的指导小组的监督下，开发/完成胃肠道疾病的临床研究项目。该计划旨在实现：（1）深入了解适用于临床流行病学和临床导向的卫生服务研究调查的研究技术;（2）密集，监督的研究经验;和（3）通过参与CCEB，GD和LDI讲座，研讨会和期刊俱乐部，教师和研究员之间的整合和凝聚力。研究员是临床流行病学硕士学位的候选人。在可行的情况下，鼓励候选人寻求博士学位。℃下 正在进行的胃肠病学临床流行病学培训计划的优势是在CCEB，GD和LDI成功的NIH T32研究培训计划的悠久历史;为学员提供全面而严格的课程，研讨会和研究计划;以及计划之间合作联系的丰富历史。此外，GD（由R 01资助的研究人员和NIH/NIDDK消化和肝脏疾病中心支持）以及整个SOM都拥有出色的基础科学实验室、几个大型数据库和组织库，并且所有SOM主席和项目总监都致力于成功实施该培训计划。K30补助金（临床研究课程奖）的存在，CCEB，GD，DGHN和LDI的多样化专业知识，以及学员最近的成功，为继续这一成功的计划提供了强有力的理由
