DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Project Summary: This pre-doctoral training program in Reproductive, Perinatal, and Pediatric Epidemiology in the Department of Epidemiology of the Rollins School of Public Health of Emory University will train outstanding candidates in the discipline of epidemiology, mentor them in research teams that include basic and clinical scientists, and prepare them as teachers as well as independent researchers. Three students will be recruited each year and supported for up to three years. They will develop methodologic skills from a rigorous core of biostatistics and epidemiologic methods courses and will receive formal training in teaching skills and in the ethical conduct of research. In specialization courses and interdisciplinary seminars, students will gain an academic understanding of the related areas of reproductive, perinatal, and pediatric epidemiology. Throughout the pre-doctoral curriculum and research experiences, students will progress from more general to specific areas, culminating in dissertation research focused in one of the three fields. A balance of specialization is anticipated, so that approximately equal numbers of students will specialize in each of the three fields. Core leaders for these areas are Drs. Carol Hogue (PI and Perinatal Leader), Carolyn Drews-Botsch (Pediatric Leader), and Michele Marcus (Reproductive Leader). All have extensive research and training experience. In addition, numerous, highly-qualified faculty in Epidemiology and other departments of Rollins, and in the School of Medicine Departments of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Pediatrics, and Human Genetics have indicated interest in serving as mentors. At the nearby Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, adjunct faculty who have major research projects, as well as experience, have also expressed interest in serving as mentors. Interdisciplinary seminars, which will rotate in the clinical departments and the CDC, will expose students to potential mentors. Students will have research internships during the first two academic years with a minimum of two of the several epidemiology faculty who have extensive ongoing research projects in one or more of the fields. During the summers between academic years, trainees will have clinical research internships in the School of Medicine or at CDC Their dissertation research will most likely develop from one of these experiences and be funded through ongoing research grants or supplements which the students will obtain. Relevance: More evidence-based and epidemiologic research is required to make major advances in reducing major morbiditiy and mortality associated with gynecologic infertility, unintended pregnancy, pregnancy complications, preterm delivery, and congenital defects.Beginning with their dissertation research and continuing throughout their careers, graduates of this program should make significant contributions to this knowledge base.lae, and congenital anomalies.

描述（由申请人提供）：项目摘要：在埃默里大学公共卫生学院流行病学系生殖，围产期和儿科流行病学方面的博士前培训计划将在研究团队中培训杰出的候选人，并在研究团队中指导他们在研究团队中，并将其作为临床研究者，并准备好这些研究者，并准备好这些研究者。每年将招募三名学生，并最多支持三年。他们将从严格的生物统计学和流行病学方法课程中发展方法学技能，并接受教学技能和研究道德行为方面的正式培训。在专业课程和跨学科研讨会中，学生将对生殖，围产期和小儿流行病学的相关领域有学术理解。在整个论文前课程和研究经验中，学生将从更通用的领域发展到更一般的领域，最终以三个领域之一的培训研究为重点。预计专业水平将达到平衡，因此大约相等数量的学生将专门研究这三个领域的每个领域。这些领域的核心领导者是Drs。卡罗尔·霍格（PI和围产期领袖），卡罗琳·德鲁斯·博茨（儿科领袖）和米歇尔·马库斯（Michele Marcus）（生殖领导人）。所有人都有丰富的研究和培训经验。此外，在流行病学和其他部门的众多，高度合格的教师以及妇科和妇产科，儿科和人类遗传学的医学学院中表明，人们对担任导师有兴趣。在附近的联邦疾病控制和预防中心，拥有重大研究项目的辅助教师以及经验也表示有兴趣担任导师。将在临床部门和CDC中旋转的跨学科研讨会将使学生接触潜在的导师。学生将在前两个学年进行研究实习，其中至少有几个流行病学教师中有两个，他们在一个或多个领域都有广泛的正在进行的研究项目。在学年之间的夏季，学员将在医学院或疾病预防控制中心进行临床研究实习，他们的论文研究很可能会从其中一种经验中发展，并通过正在进行的研究赠款或学生将获得的补充。相关性：需要更多基于循证和流行病学研究，以在减少与妇科不育症，意外怀孕，怀孕并发症，早产递送和先天性缺陷相关的重大病态和死亡率方面取得重大进展。将与他们的学会研究和促进该计划的重要贡献及其构成依据，并构成了重要的贡献，并依靠他们的努力，并构成了依据。
