Global Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases

项目总结/摘要 我们的培训计划招募不同的博士后研究员，主要是医生，并发展他们的技能 进行传染病流行病学研究。该计划强调流行病学作为一个关键的工具，面对 日益严重的传染病威胁。它强调了传染病的全球流行病学，因为 人口之间联系的增加意味着传染病的流行病学和控制 需要一个全球视角。该计划将是跨学科的，从29个教师研究导师参与 七个部门（医学，儿科，流行病学，生物学，病理学和微生物学，免疫学 土木与环境工程）。每年将从候选人中选出三名受训人员， 传染病奖学金计划在儿科和内科;特殊申请人从其他 斯坦福大学的博士后项目可以考虑，如果他们已经证明了先前的承诺， 传染病流行病学研究。学员将在一个项目的指导下进行研究 教师致力于学员的成功。研究有望跨学科发挥优势 校园教师的广度和斯坦福大学各种特殊的研究专业知识。到 促进学员与教师的互动，举办由学员主持的研究研讨会; 传染病流行病学跨学科研讨会;每周传染病大查房; 关于传染病、生态和风险的讲座;以及每年一次的为期一天的研究务虚会。每一位学员将 由他们的导师和其他具有相关专业知识的人组成的研究委员会提供咨询。 研究和个人职业目标。每年至少两次，学员将与导师会面， 项目主管讨论他们的专业发展计划。此外，作为T32更新的一部分，我们 我建议加强我们对流行病学方法的重视，包括要求所有得到 培训补助金用于完成流行病学系教授的全球传染病四门课程 流行病学和建模。这种课堂教学将补充深入的指导研究 经验，使学员将发展内容的专业知识和应用技能，成为关键 独立研究员。强烈鼓励所有学员申请独立支助。学员 将被任命为该计划一年的时间。他们将在该计划中度过1至3年。 我们设想，该计划的毕业生将承担独立的研究或公共卫生领导 他们的职业生涯可以解决他们这一代人面临的巨大传染病威胁。

Project Summary/Abstract Our training program recruits diverse postdoctoral fellows, predominately physicians, and develops their skills to conduct infectious disease epidemiology research. The program stresses epidemiology as a key tool to face growing infectious disease threats. It highlights the global epidemiology of infectious disease, because the increased connectivity of human populations means that the epidemiology and control of infectious diseases requires a global perspective. The program will be interdisciplinary, engaging 29 faculty research mentors from seven Departments (Medicine, Pediatrics, Epidemiology, Biology, Pathology and Microbiology, Immunology and Civil and Environmental Engineering). Three trainees per year will be drawn from candidates for the Infectious Diseases Fellowship Programs in Pediatrics and Internal Medicine; exceptional applicants from other postdoctoral programs at Stanford may be considered if they have demonstrated prior commitment to Infectious Diseases epidemiologic research. Trainees will conduct research under the mentorship of a program faculty member committed to trainee success. Research is expected to be cross-disciplinary to take advantage of the breadth of campus faculty and the varied exceptional research expertise available at Stanford. To promote interaction among trainees and faculty we will convene research seminars conducted by trainees; interdisciplinary seminars in infectious diseases epidemiology; weekly infectious diseases grand rounds; lectures on infectious diseases, ecology and risks; and an annual one-day research retreat. Each trainee will be counseled by a Research Committee comprised of their mentors and others with expertise relevant to the research and to individual career goals. At least twice a year, trainees will meet with their mentors and the program directors to discuss their Professional Development Plan. In addition, as part of this T32 renewal, we propose to increase our emphasis on epidemiologic methods including requiring that all fellows supported by the training grant complete four courses taught by the Department of Epidemiology in global infectious disease epidemiology and modeling. This classroom instruction will complement the in-depth mentored research experience so that trainees will develop both the content expertise and applied skills critical to become independent researchers. All trainees will be strongly encouraged to apply for independent support. Trainees will be appointed to the program for a year at a time. They will spend between 1 and 3 years in the program. We envision that graduates of this program will assume independent research or public health leadership positions and engage in careers that address the great infectious disease threats of their generation.
