PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Since this training program was first funded 34y ago, the specific problems that confront maternal and child nutrition (MCN) have not gone away, but rather crucial challenges continue to exist and new ones have emerged. As a result, there remains a compelling need to understand not only how to prevent nutritional problems in women of childbearing age and young children but also how to mitigate the effects of these problems on the later health of both women and their children. The proposed program is significant because, in the short term, it will fill a major gap in training in MCN and, in the long term, individuals trained by this program should fill a major gap in producing and interpreting integrative research on MCN. We propose to train 4 (3 predoctoral and 1 postdoctoral) trainees by leveraging the resources of the renowned graduate program in the Division of Nutritional Sciences at Cornell University, one of the largest academic units devoted to human nutrition in the country. The proposed training program will be led by a multi-PD group composed of four faculty members in the Division of Nutritional Sciences at Cornell University: Drs K.M. Rasmussen, L. Bellows, J. Finkelstein, and J. Hoddinott. Program oversight will be provided by an External Advisory Committee. Trainees will be mentored by a total of 14 trainers, who have active research programs as well as an exemplary training record. The co-trainers have differing yet complementary skills in a wide range of disciplines related to MCN as well as a long history of collaboration with one another in both training and research. Trainees will complete a core curriculum consisting of 3 graduate-level courses: Topics in Maternal and Child Nutrition, Grant Writing, and Translational Research and Evidence-based Policy and Practice in Nutrition. These courses will be supplemented by the highly valued weekly meeting of the MCN Research Forum as well as training in the responsible conduct of research and rigor and reproducibility in research. Use of an Individual Development Plan along with our innovative Annual Collaborative Project will further enhance the trainees’ career and leadership development as well as their resilience in the face of a changing environment for research. Excellent facilities are available in the Division for the proposed program, including well-equipped laboratories, animal facilities, an outpatient metabolic unit, a clinical chemistry laboratory, and extensive support for statistical computing. Trainees will also have access to shared research facilities throughout the campus and academic centers and institutes that focus on subjects that range from vertebrate genomics to food and nutrition policy. As a result of the proposed program,pre- and postdoctoral trainees will be able to identify the most important problems in MCN, address them with their research, and effectively translate the results of their research into novel policies and appropriate actions.

项目概要/摘要 该培训项目自34年前首次资助以来，针对孕产妇和儿童面临的具体问题 营养（MCN）并没有消失，但关键的挑战仍然存在，并且新的挑战已经出现 因此，我们迫切需要了解如何预防营养不良。 育龄妇女和幼儿面临的问题以及如何减轻这些问题的影响 拟议的计划对妇女及其子女的日后健康具有重要意义，因为： 短期内，它将填补MCN培训的重大空白，从长远来看，它培训的个人将受益匪浅。 我们建议，该计划应填补 MCN 综合研究的产生和解释方面的重大空白。 依托知名研究生资源，培养4名（3名博士前、1名博士后）学员 康奈尔大学营养科学系的项目，是最大的学术单位之一 拟议的培训计划将由一个由多部门组成的小组领导。 康奈尔大学营养科学系的四位教员：K.M. Rasmussen, L. Bellows、J. Finkelstein 和 J. Hoddinott 将由外部顾问提供项目监督。 委员会共有 14 名培训师对学员进行指导，他们拥有活跃的研究项目以及 共同培训师在广泛的领域拥有不同但互补的技能。 与 MCN 相关的学科以及在培训和培训方面相互合作的悠久历史 学员将完成由 3 门研究生课程组成的核心课程： 孕产主题 和儿童营养、资助写作、转化研究以及循证政策和实践 营养学课程将通过 MCN Research 每周举行的高度重视的会议进行补充。 负责任的研究行为以及研究使用的严谨性和可重复性的论坛和培训。 个人发展计划以及我们创新的年度合作项目将进一步 增强学员的职业和领导力发展以及他们面对困难时的应变能力 该部门为拟议项目提供了不断变化的研究环境， 包括设备齐全的实验室、动物设施、门诊代谢科、临床化学科 实验室，以及对统计计算的广泛支持，学员还将有机会获得共享研究成果。 整个校园以及学术中心和机构的设施，重点关注以下主题： 脊椎动物基因组学到食品和营养政策作为拟议计划的结果，博士前和博士后。 学员将能够识别 MCN 中最重要的问题，通过研究解决这些问题，并 将他们的研究成果有效地转化为新颖的政策和适当的行动。
