NUTRITION TRAINING

项目摘要 营养科学对改善公众健康的重要性从未像现在这样明显。使用 三分之二的美国人口超重或肥胖，包括糖尿病在内的慢性病的负担是 经济、社会和人的代价是巨大的，而且还在不断增加。通过以下举措 为了精确健康，NIH寻求通过创新研究改变营养科学 营养、饮食模式和营养对微生物群的影响。全国范围内仍有持续的需求 采取多方面方法解决最紧迫问题的研究人员，他们理解 将研究从基础层面转化为临床层面，以及谁为将科学发现转化为 循证营养政策和实践。营养科拟议的培训计划 康奈尔大学的科学学院通过培养学员从事跨学科的科学研究来满足这一需求 这可能会在从基础科学到临床和公共卫生的翻译领域产生影响。这个 培训项目建立在康奈尔大学营养学博士的基础上，每年为4名博士前实习生提供职位 该计划强调多学科和综合学术，跨越生物，物理， 行为学和社会科学。参与这项申请的30名培训师代表了广泛的 实现培训计划目标所需的学科，并包括具有 专业知识从遗传学、分子生物学和生物化学到流行病学、心理学和 经济学。培训师有积极的研究计划和出色的培训记录。拟议中的培训 课程包括核心课程(助学金写作、翻译研究和循证政策 和营养实践)，得到世卫组织/科克伦/康奈尔夏季研究所的补充 全球政策制定中的营养学系统回顾。学员还提交了NIH F31博士前证书 申请并参加三项充实活动，包括每月学员见面会、主持 一年一度的特邀演讲者，并组织一年一度的半天研讨会。作为翻译研究的一部分 在培训方面，受训者在他们的论文中至少有一个项目是共同指导的。通过以下方式满足国家需求 博士培训，培训方案包括每年1名受训者的博士和博士相结合的培训部分 这包括上述计划要素和简短的翻译研究或政策经验。这个 支持提议的培训计划的基础设施已建立良好，并从新的 拥有分子营养、微生物组、蛋白质组学、计算等研究项目的教职员工 生物学、营养和健康方面的不平等。与世界卫生组织建立了非常成功的伙伴关系 组织和Cochrane显著提高了康奈尔大学在翻译科学和证据方面的能力 综合。这些新的和持续的优势支持该计划的目标，即创造无与伦比的 培养营养科学方面的经验，培养下一代营养科学家。

Project Summary The importance of nutritional sciences to improving the public’s health has never been more evident. With two-thirds of the US population overweight or obese, the burden of chronic diseases, including diabetes, is increasing and the economic, social and human costs are significant and growing. With initiatives such as Nutrition for Precision Health, NIH seeks to transform nutritional sciences through innovative research on nutrition, dietary patterns and the effect of nutrition on the microbiome. There is a continuing national need for researchers who take a multifaceted approach to solve the most pressing questions, who understand the translation from basic to clinical levels of inquiry, and who contribute to translation of scientific discovery to evidence-based nutrition policy and practice. The proposed training program in the Division of Nutritional Sciences at Cornell University addresses this need by preparing trainees to produce interdisciplinary science that can drive impact across the translational spectrum from basic sciences to clinical and public health. The training program, with positions for 4 predoctoral trainees per year, is built on Cornell’s nutrition doctoral program, which emphasizes multidisciplinary and integrative scholarship across the biological, physical, behavioral, and social sciences. The 30 trainers participating in this application represent the broad range of disciplines necessary to achieve the goals of the training program and include renowned scientists with expertise spanning from genetics, molecular biology and biochemistry to epidemiology, psychology, and economics. The trainers have active research programs and excellent training records. The proposed training program includes a core curriculum (Grant Writing and Translational Research and Evidence-based Policy and Practice in Nutrition) that is complemented by the WHO/Cochrane/Cornell Summer Institute for Systematic Reviews in Nutrition for Global Policy Making. Trainees also submit an NIH F31 predoctoral application and participate in three enrichment activities including monthly trainee meetings, hosting an annual invited speaker, and organizing an annual half-day symposium. As part of the translational research training, trainees are co-mentored for at least one project in their dissertation. To meet national needs through doctoral training, the training program includes a combined PhD-RD training component for 1 trainee per year that comprises the above program elements and a short translational research or policy experience. The infrastructure to support the proposed training program is well-established, with added strengths from new faculty members with research programs in molecular nutrition, microbiome, proteomics, computational biology and nutrition and health inequalities. Highly successful partnerships with the World Health Organization and Cochrane significantly enhance Cornell’s capabilities in translational science and evidence synthesis. These new and continuing strengths support the program’s objectives to create an unparalleled training experience in the nutritional sciences and prepare the next generation of nutrition scientists.
