DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Utah is applying for the second renewal of its training grant with the National Library of Medicine (NLM). Our long term objective is to continue a program of research informatics excellence, carrying forward a tradition that dates back to 1964. In the five years since our first renewal, 103 graduate students have entered training. In our total 10 years of funding, over 60 NLM-funded graduate students have completed training or are currently working towards a degree. We currently have 41 predoctoral and 30 postdoctoral candidates for a total of 71 active students; over 40% of whom are focused on doctoral research. Twenty to thirty percent of all Departmental graduate students have been supported by the NLM training grant over the past ten years. The specific aims of this proposal center on training graduate and postdoctoral students to develop broad informatics research expertise in clinical, public health, and translational/genetic application areas. Under the direction of a new Department Chair, who is also the PI of this grant, we have recently revised and updated our core curriculum that stresses 20 core competencies under the broad rubrics of foundational skills and applications proficiency. This curriculum review is also creating focus for our three training areas and the development of new training courses and experiences. The Department of Biomedical Informatics at the University of Utah is in the process of growth and change with new leadership, and here we describe our training successes to date as well as our expanded scope of training for this new funding period. Public Health Informatics has been defined as the study of systems for creating information and managing knowledge to understand, protect, and improve health in society. Our public health informatics program will train students in the development and application of technologies that will aid public health practitioners in these activities. We will train students to build tools that will assist educators, researchers, physicians, and individuals in the community to define and address public health issues.

描述（由申请人提供）： 犹他大学正在向国家医学图书馆（NLM）申请第二次续签培训补助金。我们的长期目标是继续进行研究信息学计划， 推进了一种可以追溯到1964年的传统。自从我们第一次续签以来的五年中，有103名研究生参加了培训。在我们总计10年的资金中，超过60多名NLM资助的研究生已经完成了培训或目前正在努力获得学位。 目前，我们有41个占主导地位和30个博士后候选人，共有71名活跃的学生；超过40％的人专注于博士研究。在过去的十年中，NLM培训补助金已经得到了全部部门研究生的20％至30％的支持。 该建议中心关于培训毕业生和博士后学生的具体目的是在临床，公共卫生和转化/遗传应用领域开发广泛的信息学研究专业知识。在新的部门主席的指导下，他也是该赠款的PI，我们最近修订并更新了我们的核心课程，该课程在基本技能和应用熟练程度的广泛规定下强调了20种核心竞争力。这项课程审查还为我们的三个培训领域以及新的培训课程和经验的发展创造了重点。 犹他大学生物医学信息学系正在与新的领导力一起增长和变化，在这里，我们描述了迄今为止的培训成功，以及我们在这一新融资期内扩大的培训范围。 公共卫生信息学被定义为用于创建信息和管理知识以理解，保护和改善社会健康的系统的研究。我们的公共卫生信息学计划将培训学生开发和应用技术，以帮助公共卫生从业人员参加这些活动。我们将培训学生建立工具，以帮助社区中的教育者，研究人员，医师和个人定义和解决公共卫生问题。
