DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Despite substantial advances in the epidemiology and prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD), these disorders are estimated to become the leading cause of mortality worldwide by the year 2020. Unfortunately, workforce estimates have found a trend toward a shrinking supply of young investigators specializing in this field. It is vital to maintain the momentum of recent gains in our understanding of CVD by training talented physicians and researchers in the rigorous methodology for conducting epidemiologic research. To this end, the University of California San Diego (UCSD), Department of Family and Preventive Medicine, Division of Epidemiology proposes a research intensive interdisciplinary training program for trainees dedicated to careers in academic cardiovascular epidemiology and prevention. .This program is designed for pre- and post-doctoral fellows who have a stated commitment to a research career focusing on the epidemiology and prevention of CVD. The standard program length of 2 years may be extended to 3 years for post-doctoral and 5 years for pre-doctoral fellows. The curriculum will center on an intensive multidisciplinary research project and will include appropriate didactic coursework depending on the extent of previous training by the fellow. The program will integrate resources from UCSD School of Medicine departments and the Graduate School of Public Health (GSPH) at San Diego State University and its affiliated research institutes and centers. This includes a close linkage with the Division's existing Joint Doctoral Programs in Public Health Epidemiology and Health Behavior that are administered in collaboration with the GSPH. Due to the expertise, experience and breadth of mentors committed to the program, rich opportunities exist for exceptional research experiences incorporating an interdisciplinary approach.

描述（由申请人提供）：尽管在心血管疾病 (CVD) 的流行病学和预防方面取得了重大进展，但据估计，到 2020 年，这些疾病将成为全球死亡的主要原因。不幸的是，劳动力估计发现，劳动力数量呈萎缩趋势。专门从事这一领域的年轻研究人员的供应。通过对有才华的医生和研究人员进行严格的流行病学研究方法培训，保持我们对 CVD 理解的近期进展势头至关重要。为此，加州大学圣地亚哥分校 (UCSD) 家庭和预防医学系流行病学部为致力于心血管流行病学和预防学术职业的学员提出了一项研究密集型跨学科培训计划。该项目专为明确致力于心血管疾病流行病学和预防研究事业的博士前和博士后研究员而设计。博士后的标准课程长度为 2 年，博士后可延长至 3 年，博士前研究员可延长至 5 年。该课程将以密集的多学科研究项目为中心，并将根据研究员之前的培训程度包括适当的教学课程。该计划将整合加州大学圣地亚哥分校医学院各系和圣地亚哥州立大学公共卫生研究生院 (GSPH) 及其附属研究机构和中心的资源。这包括与该部门现有的公共卫生流行病学和健康行为联合博士项目密切联系，这些项目是与 GSPH 合作管理的。由于致力于该项目的导师的专业知识、经验和广度，存在丰富的机会获得结合跨学科方法的卓越研究经验。
