The Graduate Program in Tropical Infectious Diseases (GPiTID)

该建议是热带传染病博士前培训的培训计划的更新 热带传染病研究生项目（GPiTID） 申请资助六名受训人员五年这项培训补助金的目标有两个： 下一代全球卫生领导者，并培养学生推进科学 在控制传染病方面取得的成就。GPiTID在许多方面都是不同的 - 培训是嵌入在公共卫生学校，但重点是基本的科学 利用基因组学、细胞生物学、免疫学、人口学的尖端方法进行发现 生物学和基因编辑加上自然环境中的疾病流行病学， 解决对美国和国外的公共卫生构成威胁的重大感染。 重点是基础科学培训，但在疾病的背景下， 问题，并强调可能导致新干预措施的基本发现 包括药物、疫苗和杀虫剂的开发。该计划的主要研究者 是Dyann Wirth教授，Richard Pearson Strong教授，免疫学系和 传染病，布罗德研究所高级副会员， 哈佛综合生命科学博士Phyllis Kanki教授 哈佛大学免疫学和传染病系。陈公学校 健康和埃里克鲁宾教授，艾琳海因茨鉴于教授和主席，系 免疫学和传染病。该培训计划将设在 免疫学和传染病在哈佛T. H。Chan公共卫生学院， 位于马萨诸塞州波士顿朗伍德医疗区的中心。学员有机会 与来自不同专业和个人背景的学生互动，包括大型 来自传染病仍然是主要疾病的国家的国际学生人数 健康威胁，导致许多国家幼儿死亡率超过50%， 在他们最有生产力的年代毁灭年轻的成年人。GPiTID的学员 参加流行病学，生物统计学和公共卫生史的入门课程， 来自所有HSPH学术课程的学生，包括MPH的专业学位， 博士GPiTID还为学生提供实验室科学接口的机会， 翻译应用程序的形式有两个特殊的程序，一个机会，进行部分 他们的论文工作在疾病流行的环境和第二个在临床实验室培训 传染病伙伴关系（CLP-ID）计划。将以1年为间隔进行评估。

This proposal is the renewal of a training initiative for predoctoral training in Tropical Infectious Diseases, now called The Graduate Program in Tropical Infectious Diseases (GPiTID) and requests funding for six trainees for five years. The goal of this training grant is two-fold: to train the next generation of global health leaders and to train students to advance scientific achievements toward the control of infectious diseases. The GPiTID is distinct in many aspects – the training is embedded in a school of public health but focuses on the fundamental scientific discovery using cutting edge approaches of genomics, cell biology, immunology, population biology and gene editing coupled with the epidemiology of diseases in their natural setting to address major infections both that pose a threat to public health both in the US and abroad. There is a focus on fundamental scientific training but in the context of the diseases as holistic problems and with an emphasis on fundamental discoveries that could lead to new interventions including drug, vaccine and insecticide development. The Principal Investigators of the program are Professor Dyann Wirth, Richard Pearson Strong Professor, Department of Immunology and Infectious Diseases, Senior Associate Member at the Broad Institute, and Faculty Chair of the Harvard Integrated Life Sciences (HILS) Ph.D. Program, Professor Phyllis Kanki of the Department of Immunology and Infectious Diseases at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Professor Eric Rubin, the Irene Heinz Given Professor and Chair, Department of Immunology and Infectious Diseases. The training program will be housed in the Department of Immunology and Infectious Diseases at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, centrally located in the Longwood Medical Area of Boston, MA. Trainees have the opportunity to interact with students from diverse professional and personal backgrounds including a large number of international students from countries where infectious diseases remain a major health threat, leading to over 50% of overall early childhood morality in many countries and devastating young adult populations in their most productive years. The trainees in GPiTID attend introductory classes in epidemiology, biostatistics and the history of public health with students from all HSPH academic programs including the professional degrees of MPH and DrPH. The GPiTID also offers students opportunities at the interface of laboratory science and translational applications in the form of two special programs, one an opportunity to conduct part of their thesis work in a disease endemic setting and a second to train in the Clinical-Laboratory Partnership in Infectious Disease (CLP-ID) program. Appointments will be in 1-year intervals.
