DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Training Program involves an international collaboration between faculty members in the Department of Human Genetics at the University of Pittsburgh in the US and members of The Chatterjee Group-Indian Statistical Institute Centre for Population Genomics (CpG) in Calcutta, India. The overarching goal is to help in genetic-epidemiological capacity building efforts in India. The training program consists a core program of pre- and post-doctoral training, supplemented by various feeder programs (short-term training Workshops and Fellowships), to enhance capacity building and expertise in genetic epidemiology and ethical conduct of human genetics research in India. To obtain a high level of value addition to the training program, the core program will initially be built around an ongoing, ethically approved, genetic epidemiological study in India, the CpG's Marwari Cardiovascular Study. The major loci of the training program will be on statistical and computational genomics, and molecular genomics. The Specific Aims are: 1. To provide multidisciplinary training in genetic epidemiology to three pre- and two post-doctoral trainees from India. Training will be provided both in India (CpG and its affiliate institutions) and in the U.S. (University of Pittsburgh). 2. To provide five short-term (4 weeks) Fellowships to scientists engaged in research at CpG and its affiliate institutions to obtain training in the U.S. in specific frontline areas of human genetics. 3. To conduct two intensive short-term training Workshops in India on human genetics, with emphasis on statistical methods in genetic epidemiology and ethical conduct of human genetics research. 4. To offer advanced research training support ("re-entry" funding) to our post-doctoral trainees after completion of their post-doctoral training in Pittsburgh. These re-entry grants will enable our trainees to initiate independent human genetics research projects related to ongoing collaborative research at CpG. This program will help generate well-trained personnel for initiating large-scale genetic epidemiological studies of public health significance in India. Through these training programs, collaborations among scientists in India and the U.S.A. will be initiated in human genetics.

描述（由申请人提供）：该培训计划涉及美国匹兹堡大学人类遗传学系与印度印度加尔各答的Chatterjee Group-Intian统计研究所人口基因组学（CPG）的成员之间的国际合作。总体目标是帮助印度的遗传学流行学能力建立努力。该培训计划包括一项核心计划，并在印度的各种喂食者计划（短期培训讲习班和奖学金）中补充，以增强印度人类遗传学研究的能力建设和专业知识。为了获得培训计划的高价值增加，核心计划最初将围绕在印度（CPG的MARWARI心血管研究）围绕一项正在进行的，道德认可的遗传流行病学研究而建立。培训计划的主要基因座将是关于统计和计算基因组学以及分子基因组学的。 具体目的是： 1。为来自印度的三名前和两名博士后学员提供遗传流行病学的多学科培训。将在印度（CPG及其关联机构）和美国（匹兹堡大学）提供培训。 2。向从事CPG研究及其关联机构研究的科学家提供五项短期（4周）奖学金，以在人类遗传学的特定前线领域获得培训。 3。在印度进行有关人类遗传学的两个密集的短期培训研讨会，重点是人类遗传学研究的遗传流行病学和道德行为的统计方法。 4。在完成匹兹堡博士后培训后，向我们的博士后学员提供高级研究培训支持（“重新进入”资金）。这些重新进入的赠款将使我们的学员能够启动与CPG正在进行的合作研究有关的独立人类遗传学研究项目。 该计划将有助于产生训练有素的人员，以启动印度公共卫生意义的大规模遗传流行病学研究。通过这些培训计划，将在人类遗传学中启动印度和美国科学家之间的合作。
