University of Colorado Interdisciplinary Training in Demography and Genetics

项目摘要 我们提出了一种新的、协作的、跨学科的人口学、遗传学和 行为科学研究所(IBS)和行为研究所教职员工的老龄化 科罗拉多博尔德大学遗传学(IBG)。与参与其中的老龄化专家一起 来自科罗拉多大学丹佛分校的该项目将包括四个博士前和博士后研究人员 为期五年的博士后实习生。该项目由来自6个国家的14名教职员工组成。 IBS附属系(经济学、社会学、人类学、地理学、历史学和 政治学)，来自IBG(心理学、分子细胞)附属3个系的10名教职员工 和发育生物学和综合生理学)，以及来自3个系的4名教员 科罗拉多大学丹佛分校(健康与行为科学、社会学、医学院)。 这两个研究所的研究人员在合作研究项目上取得了成功 由NIH赞助，这些项目为社会和社会发展做出了重要贡献 生物科学。IBG有一个正式和成功的培训计划和人口 IBS内的计划最近实施了一个较小的人口统计证书计划，但 目前还没有正式的机制将这两个计划联系起来，以便在 无论是人口学还是行为遗传学。我们计划在这两个领域进行博士前培训 人口学和遗传学涉及11门核心必修课，包括3门关于老龄化的课程，以及 2门人口学和行为遗传学的中级课程，为期三年。博士后 学员每年至少参加一门课程。所有实习生都将参加IBG的日志俱乐部。 他们将在美国人口协会、行为遗传学和 美国老年学学会年会。他们将参与整合 遗传学和社会科学年度会议在博尔德举行，他们将参加一门课程 专门为人口学和遗传学方面的培训而设计。他们还将获得专门的 来自人口统计学、遗传学和老龄化的专业方法研讨会的培训。最后他们会的 撰写并提交顶峰大学第三年的论文。符合美国国立卫生研究院生物医学研究所的建议 研究人员工作小组，将定期与个人一起监督受训人员 发展计划。

Project Summary We propose a new, collaborative, and interdisciplinary training in demography, genetics, and aging by faculty in the Institute of Behavioral Science (IBS) and the Institute for Behavioral Genetics (IBG) at the University of Colorado Boulder. Together with participating aging experts from the University of Colorado Denver, the program will include four cohorts of pre-doctoral and postdoctoral trainees over a five year period. The program is comprised of 14 faculty from 6 departments affiliated with IBS (Economics, Sociology, Anthropology, Geography, History, and Political Science), 10 faculty from 3 departments affiliated with IBG (Psychology, Molecular Cell and Developmental Biology, and Integrative Physiology), and 4 faculty from 3 departments at the University of Colorado Denver (Health and Behavioral Sciences, Sociology, School of Medicine). Researchers from the two institutes have had success with collaborative research projects sponsored by NIH and these projects have produced important contributions to the social and biological sciences. IBG has a formal and successful training program and the Population Program within IBS has recently implemented a smaller Demography Certificate program but to date there are no formal mechanisms in place to link these two programs for a regular training in both demography and behavioral genetics. Our proposed pre-doctoral training in both demography and genetics involves 11 core required courses, including 3 courses on aging, and 2 secondary courses in demography and behavior genetics over a three year period. Postdoctoral trainees will enroll in at least one course per year. All trainees will participate in IBG's journal club. They will present at the Population Association of America, Behavior Genetics, and Gerontological Society of America annual meetings. They will participate in the Integrating Genetics and the Social Sciences annual conference in Boulder and they will enroll in a course specifically designed for training in Demography and Genetics. They will also receive specialized training from specialty methods workshops on demography, genetics and aging. Finally they will write and present the capstone third year paper. In line with NIH suggestions from the Biomedical Research Workforce Working Group, trainees will be monitored regularly with Individual Development Plans.
