Biomedical Informatics Research Training at Oregon Health & Science University

俄勒冈州健康与科学医学信息学与临床流行病学系 大学（OHSU）很高兴为其国家医学图书馆（NLM）提交一份有竞争力的延续申请。 第四个五年资助周期的研究金培训方案。OHSU计划成立于1992年， 一直是该领域的创新者和领导者，我们将此提案作为进一步推进我们对 发展生物医学信息学学科。 OHSU奖学金计划在生物医学信息学的主要目标是培养未来的研究人员， 领导者在外地。这些都是令人兴奋的，以及不断变化的时代的纪律。信息的价值 生物医学各个方面的信息技术（IT）已经得到了更大的生物医学界的认可。在 OHSU和该领域的其他领先机构，这已通过指定部门奖励 或相关的地位，以及根据他们在学科的成就晋升教师。 从OHSU NLM奖学金计划毕业生的核心能力是使用信息学理论和 应用程序进行健康和生物医学研究。这项研究的主要目的应该是 改善人类健康以及为人类疾病制定预防和治疗措施。在 此外，毕业生应该能够在信息学相关领域做出科学贡献，包括 但不限于医学、护理、公共卫生、其他卫生专业、计算机科学、图书馆和 信息科学、认知科学、组织与管理科学。我们也期待 我们的毕业生将成为该领域其他方面的领导者，如教育，思想领导， 和/或给药。 在下一个资金周期中，我们建议通过划分更明确的分离来加强该计划 为研究和应用信息学提供培训，为医学信息学建立单独的轨道， 生物信息学，并扩大其能力。我们的目标是使该计划与其他计划更加紧密地结合起来。 研究中心，项目，在OHSU部门，以及建立一个更集中的努力， 招募、录取和毕业代表性不足的少数族裔。

The Department of Medical Informatics & Clinical Epidemiology (DMICE) of Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) is pleased to submit a competitive continuation for its National Library of Medicine (NLM) fellowship training program for a fourth five-year cycle of funding. Founded in 1992, the OHSU program has been an innovator and leader in the field, and we this proposal as further advances our contributions to developing the academic discipline of biomedical informatics. The main goal of the OHSU fellowship program in biomedical informatics is to train future researchers and leaders in the field. These are exciting as well as changing times for the discipline. The value of information technology (IT) in all aspects of biomedicine has been recognized by the larger biomedical community. At OHSU and other leading institutions in the field, this has been rewarded through designation of departmental or related status as well as promotion of faculty based on their accomplishments in the discipline. The core competency of graduates from the OHSU NLM fellowship program is to use informatics theory and applications to conduct health and biomedical research. The primary purpose of this research should be to improve human health as well as develop preventive and therapeutic interventions for human disease. In addition, graduates should be able to make scientific contributions to fields related to informatics, including but not limited to medicine, nursing, public health, other health professions, computer science, library and information science, cognitive science, and organizational and management science. We also expect that our graduates will become leaders in the other facets of the field, such as education, thought leadership, and/or administration. In this next cycle of funding, we propose to enhance the program by demarcating a more explicit separation of training for research and applied informatics, establishing separate tracks for medical informatics and bioinformatics, and expanding its capacity. We also aim to align the program more closely with other research centers, programs, and departments at OHSU as well as establish a more concentrated effort to recruit, matriculate, and graduate underrepresented minorities.
