DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Biomedical and Health Informatics (BHI) research training program at the University of Washington has matured rapidly and successfully since its inception in 1999. UW offers a highly collaborative environment with a strong track record of interdisciplinary research initiatives, which has driven the culture and priorities of the UW BHI activities. At its core the UW program recognizes that a key characteristic of successful BHI researchers is the ability to play a leadership role in translating methods and models from the computing sciences, information sciences and behavioral sciences into tools and solutions for information related challenges and opportunities faced by care providers, patients, biomedical researchers, and public health providers. BHI researchers in this role develop new knowledge that advances the field of BHI. They can also advance knowledge in the underlying computing, information and behavioral science disciplines, as well as contributing to advancing our knowledge in the biomedical domain. The goal of the BHI program is therefore to train future research leaders in the field with translational skills and interdisciplinary expertise across the domains of bioinformatics, clinical informatics, and public health informatics. The UW training program consists of: a) a core curriculum of foundational concepts in the field that reach across the discipline, b) core domain courses (clinical, biological, and public health), c) methodology courses (research methods, pedagogy, and biostatistics), and d) individualized in depth electives in foundational and domain areas. UW received its initial NLM-supported training grant in 2002; since then the BHI program has admitted four cohorts of students, including 27 NLM funded trainees, and graduated its first PhD student along with 15 research-focused MS students. Although relatively young, the training program has evolved significantly; processes for recruitment, admissions, mentoring, and optimizing trainee progress have been refined, as has the core curriculum. To maintain this success UW proposes to continue the NLM training program, seeking funding to support 18 trainees each year over the 2007-2012 cycle. This would permit recruitment of 4-5 new predoctoral trainees and 2 new post-doctoral trainees each year. As we continue to build our program we plan to continue to expand our interdisciplinary research collaborations in general with two strategic areas of focus in particular: a) leveraging UW strengths in Genome Sciences to further develop bioinformatics interdisciplinary collaborations, and b) leveraging UW history of excellence in clinical research by helping support a broad UW effort to establish an Institute for Clinical and Translational Science.

描述（由申请人提供）： 自1999年成立以来，华盛顿大学的生物医学和健康信息学（BHI）研究培训计划已迅速而成功。UW提供了高度协作的环境，并具有跨学科研究计划的良好记录，该计划驱动了UW BHI活动的文化和优先事项。 UW计划以此为核心认识到，成功的BHI研究人员的关键特征是能够在将计算科学，信息科学和行为科学从计算机科学，信息科学和行为科学转化为信息和解决方案中的方法和模型方面发挥领导作用，以解决有关信息与信息相关的挑战以及护理提供者，患者，生物医学研究人员以及公共卫生提供者所面临的挑战和机会。 BHI研究人员在这一角色中发展了新知识，从而促进了BHI领域的发展。他们还可以提高基础计算，信息和行为科学学科的知识，并促进我们在生物医学领域中的知识。因此，BHI计划的目的是在生物信息学，临床信息学和公共卫生信息学领域培训以翻译技能和跨学科专业知识来培训该领域的未来研究领导者。 UW培训计划包括：a）跨学科的现场基础概念的核心课程，b）核心 领域课程（临床，生物学和公共卫生），c）方法学课程（研究方法， 教育学和生物统计学），d）在基础和领域的深度选修课中个性化。 西澳大学在2002年获得了最初的NLM支持培训补助金；从那以后，BHI计划已接纳了四名学生，其中包括27名NLM资助的学员，并与15名以研究为重点的MS学生一起毕业了其第一位博士生。尽管相对年轻，但培训计划仍在显着发展。招聘，入学，指导和优化学员进步的过程以及核心课程都得到了完善。为了维持这一成功，UW建议继续进行NLM培训计划，并寻求资金在2007 - 2012年周期中每年支持18名受训者。这将允许每年招募4-5名新的新托管前学员和2名新的博士后学员。随着我们继续构建计划，我们计划继续扩大我们的跨学科研究合作，尤其是两个战略重点领域：a）利用基因组科学的UW优势进一步发展生物信息学跨学科合作，以及b）利用UW卓越研究的卓越研究历史来支持临床研究的卓越研究，以支持广泛的UW努力来建立一项临床研究，并建立了一项临床研究所，并进行了转化和翻译。
