UCSD Integrated Cardiovascular Epidemiology Fellowship

描述（由申请人提供）：我们的T32培训基金“综合心血管流行病学奖学金”的目标是严格培训医生和行为科学家，以预防心血管疾病的流行病学和行为研究方法为重点，a)为受训者提供心血管疾病预防和/或行为医学方面的综合，全面和密集的2年研究培训经验；B)将受训者与经验丰富且敬业的导师联系起来，这些导师将监督研究经验并评估他们的进展；3)就研究过程的多个相关组成部分向受训者提供指导，包括流行病学和/或行为医学的教学课程、研究中人类受试者的保护、保密要求、适当和公正的数据分析要素，并在培训完成后，找到合适的场所来发挥他们的技能。该项目始于2007年，重点是流行病学和预防。在过去四年中，我们了解到，虽然所有受训人员都侧重于预防，但有些人主要关注流行病学，而另一些人则对预防心血管疾病的行为医学更感兴趣。为了充分照顾这些不同兴趣的学员，我们建议将项目的职位数量从4个增加到8个，并将项目的领导扩大到2名联合主任，其中一名具有丰富的心血管流行病学研究经验和培训记录，另一名在心血管行为医学方面具有类似的研究和培训经验。这项更新提案的两位联合主任是加州大学圣地亚哥分校医学院家庭和预防医学系预防医学部的教员。为了实现这一目标，这项更新建议的教员不仅从这个司，而且从家庭和预防医学系的其他几个司以及医学院的其他系，包括医学和精神病学，征聘了教员。同样，我们也从圣地亚哥州立大学公共卫生研究生院招募了教师，该校有流行病学和健康行为的教学项目。此外，加州大学和圣地亚哥州立大学联合赞助了两个与该提案密切相关的博士项目：公共卫生（集中于流行病学和健康行为）和临床心理学。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of our T32 training grant entitled "Integrated Cardiovascular Epidemiology Fellowship" is to rigorously train physicians and behavioral scientists in epidemiologic and behavioral research methods focused on preventing cardiovascular diseases by a) providing trainees with an integrated, comprehensive, and intensive 2-year research training experience in cardiovascular disease prevention and/or behavioral medicine, b) linking trainees with highly experienced and dedicated mentors who will supervise the research experience and evaluate their progress and 3) providing instruction to these trainees on multiple related components of the research process, including didactic coursework on epidemiology and /or behavioral medicine, protection of human subjects in research, confidentiality requirements, elements of appropriate and unbiased analysis of data, and, after the completion of training, finding the appropriate venue to utilize their skills. This program began in 2007 with a broadly defined focus on epidemiology and prevention. Over the last four years we have learned that while all trainees are focused on prevention, some have primarily an epidemiologic focus and others are more interested in behavioral medicine in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. In order to fully accommodate trainees with these different interests, we propose to expand the number of positions in the program from four to eight, and to expand the leadership of the program to two co-directors, one of whom has extensive research experience and a training record in cardiovascular epidemiology, while the other has a similar depth of research and training experience in cardiovascular behavioral medicine. The two co-directors for this renewal proposal are faculty in the Division of Preventive Medicine in the Department of Family and Preventive Medicine in the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine. To achieve this objective, faculty for this renewal proposal have been recruited not only from this Division but from several other divisions in the Department of Family and Preventive Medicine, as well as from other Departments in the School of Medicine, including Medicine and Psychiatry. Similarly, faculty have been recruited from the San Diego State University Graduate School of Public Health, which has teaching programs in both epidemiology and health behavior. In addition, the University of California and San Diego State University jointly sponsor two doctoral programs closely linked to this proposal: Public Health (with concentrations in Epidemiology and Health Behavior) and Clinical Psychology.
