UCSD Integrated Cardiovascular Epidemiology Fellowship

项目摘要/摘要 我们的T32培训助学金的目标是“流行病学和预防综合奖学金” 心血管疾病“是对医生和行为科学家进行严格的流行病学和行为科学培训 行为研究方法侧重于预防心血管疾病，通过a)为受训者提供 在心血管疾病预防和/或方面有2年综合、全面和强化的研究培训经验 行为医学，b)将受训者与经验丰富和敬业的导师联系起来，这些导师将监督 研究经验和评估他们的进展；3)为这些学员提供多个方面的指导 研究过程的相关组成部分，包括流行病学和/或行为学的教学课程 医学、研究中对人类受试者的保护、保密要求、适当和 对数据进行不偏不倚的分析，并在完成培训后找到适当的场所来利用他们的 技能。该方案始于2007年，主要侧重于流行病学和预防。在.期间 在第一个赠款期间(2007-2012年)，我们了解到，虽然所有受训人员都专注于预防，但有些人 主要是流行病学研究，其他人对行为医学更感兴趣。为了充分地 适应有这些不同兴趣的受训人员，在本供资期间(2012-2017)，我们 改变了计划的结构，将领导层扩大到两名联席主任，其中一人 在心血管流行病学相关的研究和指导方面有丰富的经验，另一个有 在心血管行为医学方面有类似深度的经验，同时保留副主任 自该方案开始以来一直存在的立场。在当前时期，我们扩大了 该项目的职位数量从4个到5个(2名博士后和3名博士后)。本次续签(2017- 2022年)，我们建议保持相同的受训人数。除此之外，我们还提议对 领导力。由于克里基博士将在几年后退休，为了实现平稳过渡，艾利森博士 (副主任)将担任Criqui博士所担任的角色，Marcus博士将继续担任联席主任，并 克里基博士将继续担任该项目的高级副项目主任。所有董事均为 加州大学家庭与预防医学系的预防医学部 加州圣地亚哥医学院。为实现该计划的目标，教职员工建议 方案不仅从该司征聘，而且从该部其他几个司征聘 家庭和预防医学，以及医学院其他部门的代表，包括 医学和精神病学。同样，教师也是从圣地亚哥州立大学研究生中招聘的 公共卫生学院，它有流行病学和健康行为学的教学课程。此外, 加州大学和圣地亚哥州立大学赞助了两个紧密联系的联合博士项目 这项提议：公共卫生和临床心理学。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The objective of our T32 training grant entitled “Integrated Fellowship on the Epidemiology and Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease" 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 CVD 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. During the first grant period (2007 – 2012), we learned that while all trainees are focused on prevention, some have primarily an epidemiologic focus and others are more interested in behavioral medicine. In order to fully accommodate trainees with these different interests, and for the current funding period (2012 – 2017), we changed the structure of the program by expanding the leadership to two co-directors, one of whom has extensive experience in research and mentorship related to cardiovascular epidemiology and the other has a similar depth of experience in cardiovascular behavioral medicine, while retaining the Associate Director position that had been in existence since the inception of the program. For the current period, we expanded the number of positions in the program from four to five (2 predocs and 3 postdocs). For this renewal (2017 – 2022), we propose to keep the same number of trainees. Beyond this, we are proposing a change to the leadership. Since Dr. Criqui will be retiring in a few years, and to allow for a smooth transition, Dr. Allison (Associate Director) will assume the role that Dr. Criqui was filling, Dr. Marcus will remain the co-director and Dr. Criqui will remain with the program as the Senior Associate Program Director. All Directors 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 the objectives of the program, faculty for the proposed program 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 sponsor two joint doctoral programs closely linked to this proposal: Public Health and Clinical Psychology.
