Atlanta Summer Institute for Research Education in Biostatistics

 描述（由申请人提供）：我们提出了一个为期六周的培训计划，介绍定量技能的本科生生物统计方法的基本概念，动手合作研究项目，研究生培训和就业机会在生物统计学领域的目标是扩大下一代生物统计学家从事前沿生物医学研究。该计划位于埃默里大学罗林斯公共卫生学院生物统计学和生物信息学系，并建立在六年的经验基础上，作为NHLBI非常成功的暑期生物统计学培训学院（SIBS）的一个站点参与。在过去成功的基础上，我们提出了一个住宅计划，提供概率和生物统计学的深入培训，以团队为基础的动手数据分析项目，解决当前生物医学研究中的问题，重点是心血管健康。埃默里大学为该项目提供了一个很好的环境，由NHLBI资助的研究人员积极参与，领导的项目从实验室科学到临床试验，从纵向流行病学研究到评估推动健康差异的因素。罗林斯公共卫生学院与美国疾病控制和预防中心的邻近和合作也为探索生物统计学，流行病学，公共卫生信息学等领域的学术和政府研究事业提供了丰富的环境。 量化公共卫生领域。我们的培训教师包括屡获殊荣的入门统计教师，NIH资助的方法研究人员和当地专业人士小组。拟议的计划建立在我们经验丰富的培训师，调查人员和行政支持的基础上，并记录了过去在招聘，培训和培养下一代定量生物医学科学家的热情成员方面的成功。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose a six-week training program to introduce quantitatively skilled undergraduates to basic concepts of biostatistical methods, hands-on collaborative research projects, and graduate training and career opportunities in the field of Biostatistics with a goal of expanding the next generation of biostatisticians engaged in cutting edge biomedical research. The program is based in the Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics, Rollins School of Public Health, Emory University and builds on six years of experience participating as one site in NHLBI's extremely successful Summer Institutes for Training in Biostatistics (SIBS). Building on past success, we propose a residential program providing in-depth training in probability and biostatistics, team-based hands-on data analysis projects addressing current issues in biomedical research with a focus on cardiovascular health. Emory provides an excellent setting for the program with an active set of NHLBI-funded researchers leading projects ranging from laboratory science to clinical trials to longitudinal epidemiologic studies to assessments of factors driving health disparities. The Rollins School of Public Health's proximity to and collaboration with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also provides a rich environment for exploring both academic and government research careers in the fields of Biostatistics, Epidemiology, Public Health Informatics, and other areas of quantitative public health. Our training faculty includes award-winning instructors of introductory statistics, NIH-funded methodological researchers, and panels of local professionals. The proposed program builds from our base of experienced trainers, investigators, and administrative support with documented past success in recruiting, training, and producing enthusiastic members of the next generation of quantitative biomedical scientists.
