Project Summary / Abstract The Indiana Training Program in Public & Population Health (PPH) Informatics trains the next generation of pioneering PPH informatics researchers, faculty, and leaders, prepared to advance the state of knowledge in the field and conduct research over the course of their careers that uses biomedical informatics and data science to advance the health of the U.S. population. Over the past five years, our program has trained 12 PPH informatics researchers who are helping modernize the nation’s public health infrastructure and strengthen approaches to managing and analyzing population health data. Building on these and other successes, including the establishment of a vibrant and flourishing educational, institutional, and technical infrastructure to support these trainees, we are now positioned to grow our program and its value as outlined in this application for competitive renewal. The program continues to have two overarching goals: 1) train predoctoral and postdoctoral scientists for successful careers in PPH informatics research; and 2) recruit and graduate high-caliber trainees with diverse backgrounds, races/ethnicities, and research disciplines. Our program equips trainees with advanced data and information science skills to address biomedical informatics research challenges in the context of public and population health. Predoctoral trainees pursue a PhD in epidemiology, health policy and management, or biostatistics with a doctoral minor in population health analytics. Postdoctoral trainees obtain further training that includes a research-oriented master’s degree if they lack prior training in PPH informatics. The educational program for all trainees consists of coursework; a substantial research project culminating in dissertation for PhD students and thesis for master's students; purposeful mentorship and guidance in meeting training goals; and associated publications, presentations, and other academic activities related to their research with expert faculty mentors. In this next funding cycle, we propose to train a steady state of 9 predoctoral trainees and 5 postdoctoral trainees, including two trainees focused on HIV research. Overall, we aim to build on our past successes by: 1) expanding the number of trainees served by our program; 2) expanding coursework and research experiences in the area of clinical informatics, including a focus on training HIV researchers who can apply PPH informatics methods to enhance surveillance and care for people living with HIV; 3) improving coursework in the areas of data science and analytics; and 4) expanding and achieving greater diversity among our faculty and trainees.

项目概要/摘要 印第安纳州公共与人口健康 (PPH) 信息学培训计划培训下一代 开创性的 PPH 信息学研究人员、教师和领导者，准备推进该领域的知识水平 在他们的职业生涯中进行领域和研究，利用生物医学信息学和数据科学 在过去的五年里，我们的计划已培训了 12 名 PPH 信息学人员。 研究人员正在帮助国家公共卫生基础设施现代化并加强方法 建立在这些和其他成功的基础上，包括管理和分析人口健康数据。 建立充满活力和蓬勃发展的教育、机构和技术基础设施来支持这些 学员们，我们现在的定位是发展我们的计划及其价值，如本申请中所述，以提高竞争力 该计划仍然有两个总体目标：1）培养博士前和博士后科学家。 在 PPH 信息学研究领域取得成功；2) 招募和毕业具有不同背景的高素质学员； 我们的计划为学员提供先进的数据和研究知识。 信息科学技能，以解决公共和环境背景下的生物医学信息学研究挑战 人口健康博士前培训生攻读流行病学、卫生政策和管理博士学位，或 生物统计学博士辅修人口健康分析，博士后学员进一步获得以下培训： 如果他们之前缺乏 PPH 信息学方面的培训，则包括研究型硕士学位。 所有学员的课程包括课程作业；最终形成博士学位论文的实质性研究项目 对学生和硕士生的论文进行有针对性的指导和指导，以实现培训目标； 与专家教授的研究相关的相关出版物、演讲和其他学术活动 在下一个资助周期中，我们建议培养稳定的9名博士前实习生和5名博士后。 培训生，包括两名专注于艾滋病毒研究的培训生，总体而言，我们的目标是在过去的成功基础上再接再厉：1) 扩大我们计划服务的学员数量；2）扩大课程作业和研究经验； 在临床信息学领域，包括重点培训能够应用 PPH 信息学的 HIV 研究人员 加强对艾滋病毒感染者的监测和护理的方法；3) 改进以下领域的课程作业： 数据科学和分析；4) 扩大并实现我们的教师和学员的多样性。
