Workshop for Junior Biostatisticians in Health Research

描述（由申请人提供）：在本申请中，我们建议继续非常成功的健康研究初级生物统计学家研讨会。该研讨会受到生物统计界的热烈欢迎，最近的研讨会吸引了2-3倍于可用名额的申请人。该讲习班将与国际生物统计学会北美东部区域年会同时举行，该年会是美国生物统计研究人员的主要专业聚会。通过具有突出的高级研究人员，成功的中级研究人员，NIH官员和具有其他特定专业知识的个人的会议，研讨会将为参与者提供深入的关键主题报道，并有充分的机会提出坦率的问题和寻求建议。该研讨会将针对从获得博士学位不到六年的初级研究人员，并将以杰出的高级研究人员，成功的中级研究人员和NIH官员为特色，共同努力实现以下研讨会目标。1.通过专门讨论期刊编辑过程和结构以及研究和写作技能的会议，研讨会将为参与者提供信息，以提高他们在进行高质量研究和发表研究成果方面的成功。2.一个涵盖生物统计研究资金来源、赠款申请和审查过程以及赠款撰写策略的会议将提供增加资金成功机会的信息。3.关于协作和沟通技能的会议将使初级研究人员能够成为跨学科团队中更有成效和更有价值的成员。4.在科学领导和推广过程中具有丰富经验的高级研究人员将组成一个小组，讨论领导策略，产生科学和专业影响的方法，以及在学术界和政府中推广的标准，以及其他成功的秘诀。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In this application, we propose a continuation of the very successful Workshop for Junior Biostatisticians in Health Research. This workshop has been enthusiastically received by the biostatistics community, with recent workshops attracting 2-3 times as many applicants as available slots. This Workshop will be held in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Eastern North American Region of the International Biometric Society, which is the major professional gathering of biostatistical researchers in the United States. Through sessions featuring prominent senior researchers, successful mid-level researchers, NIH officials, and individuals with other specific expertise, the Workshop will offer participants n-depth coverage of key topics with ample opportunity to ask candid questions and seek advice. The workshop will target junior researchers fewer than six years from receipt of the doctoral degree and will feature prominent senior researchers, successful mid-level researchers, and NIH officials, working together to achieve the following workshop objectives. 1. Through a session dedicated to the journal editorial process and structure, as well as to research and writing skills, the Workshop will provide participants with information to improve their success i conducting quality research and publishing research results. 2. A session covering funding sources for biostatistical research, the grant application and review process, and strategies for grant writing will provide information that will increase chances of funding success. 3. A session on collaboration and communication skills will enable junior researchers to serve as more productive and valuable members of interdisciplinary teams. 4. Senior researchers with extensive experience in scientific leadership and the promotion process will form a panel to discuss leadership strategies, ways of making scientific and professional impact, and criteria for promotion in academics and government, as well as other tips for success.
