DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Interdisciplinary Program in Infectious Diseases (IPID) program is based on the premise that development of new strategies to effectively control the spread of infectious disease requires individuals trained to integrate information and skills across multiple disciplines, including epidemiology, mathematics, statistics, microbiology and medicine. IPID has several unique features designed to enhance interdisciplinary training: dual mentorship is required, where one mentor has laboratory expertise and the other expertise in epidemiology, population studies or mathematical modeling; all students receive training in laboratory and epidemiologic methods and mathematical modeling, and have practical experience in the laboratory and either epidemiologic studies or mathematical modeling. Students are trained to conceptualize research problems using mathematical tools, to design appropriate population-based studies addressing the problem using either laboratory or field methods, and to analyze and apply the study results. All students complete a set of core courses, and gain practical expertise in the laboratory, in data collection, in data analysis, and in modeling. This program is novel in that it formally integrates modeling techniques and theoretical and practical experience in the laboratory and field. Founded in 1999 with University of Michigan funding, and funded by NIH to support three pre-doctoral students in 2001, we have supported 10 doctoral students and graduated four doctoral students who were funded by NIH. Graduates of our program have found a ready market for their talents and will contribute in a significant way both to our understanding of infectious disease processes and using that understanding to protect the public's health. In this renewal, we are requesting five pre-doctoral positions.

描述（由申请人提供）：传染病跨学科计划（IPID）计划基于以下前提：开发新策略以有效控制传染病的传播需要接受培训的个人，以跨多种学科整合信息和技能，包括流行病学，包括流行病学，数学，统计，微生物学和医学。 IPID具有几个独特的功能，旨在增强跨学科培训：需要双重指导，其中一位导师具有实验室专业知识，并且在流行病学，人群研究或数学建模方面具有其他专业知识；所有学生都接受实验室和流行病学方法和数学建模的培训，并在实验室以及流行病学研究或数学建模方面具有实践经验。对学生进行了使用数学工具的概念化研究问题的培训，以设计基于人群的研究，以实验室或现场方法来解决该问题，并分析和应用研究结果。所有学生都完成了一系列核心课程，并在实验室，数据收集，数据分析和建模方面获得实践专业知识。该程序是新颖的，因为它正式整合了实验室和领域中的建模技术以及理论和实践经验。我们由密歇根大学的资助于1999年成立，并由NIH资助2001年支持三名博士前学生，我们支持了10名博士生，并毕业了4名由NIH资助的博士生。我们计划的毕业生为他们的才能找到了一个现成的市场，并将为我们对传染病过程的理解以及利用这种理解来保护公众的健康做出重要贡献。在此续约中，我们要求五个博士后职位。
