Regenstrief Informatics Research Fellowships

此申请描述了Regenstrief医学信息学研究奖学金计划，其任务是为医学信息学的学术生涯准备博士后研究员。每年将招募3-4名研究员，获得为期两年的研究金。一些研究员可以选择延长到第三年。通过参加现有研究奖学金课程方法的教学课程和研究会议，研究人员将获得广泛的一般研究技能。通过医学信息学课程、实习经历、其他讲座和讨论形式以及大学课程，学生将掌握基本的计算机方法，提高写作技能，学习负责任的研究行为和医学信息系统的结构、内容和设计，对生物信息学和成像信息学技术有一个大致的了解。并熟悉当地的数据集和计算机系统，他们将以此为基础进行研究项目。每个人都应该掌握一门现代编程语言，这样他们就能理解他们所使用的系统的优点和局限性，并能够完成需要的项目工作

This application describes the Regenstrief Medical Informatics Research Fellowship Program, the mission of which is to prepare post-doctoral fellows for academic careers in medical informatics. Each year, a total of 3-4 fellows will be recruited into two-year fellowships. A few fellows will be given the option to extend to a third year. By participating in the didactic curriculum and research meetings of the existing Methods in Research Fellowship curriculum, research fellows will obtain a broad array of general research skills. Through the Medical Informatics curriculum, practicum experience, other lecture and discussion formats, and university course work they will gain competency in basic computer methods, they will improve their writing skills, learn the responsible conduct of research and the structure content and design of medical information systems, develop a general understanding of bioinformatics and imaging informatics techniques, and become familiar with the local data sets and computer systems on which they will base their research projects. Each fellow will be expected to gain competency in a modern programming language so that they can understand the strengths and limits of the systems with which they work and be able to complete project work that requires some amount of programming. Fellows will be required to complete at least two projects, one of which must be an epidemiology/database research project. They will be expected to write up the plan in a form suitable for a grant application, and the results in a form suitable for publication. By the end of their second fellowship year, fellows will have performed a clinical epidemiologic project, designed and conducted a developmental research project, performed their own data analyses, and written papers to be submitted to peer-reviewed publications. Didactic teaching and mentors will be provided by the multidisciplinary faculty of the Regenstrief Institute representing the fields of medical informatics, health services research, primary care research, decision science, bioinformatics and imaging informatics, behavioral medicine, clinical epidemiology, and biostatistics.
