DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This pre-doctoral training program in Reproductive, Perinatal, and Pediatric Epidemiology centered 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. They will receive mentoring in research methods through research internships to allow them to learn to the skills learned in a formal educational setting to the research setting. 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. Core leaders for these areas are Drs. Carolyn Drews-Botsch (PI and Pediatric Leader), Carol Hogue (Perinatal Leader) and Michele Marcus (Reproductive Leader). All have extensive research and training experience, and two of the three have had experience in administering doctoral programs. Interdisciplinary seminars will expose students to potential mentors. Students' 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, developmental disabilities, 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. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Narrative Morbidity and mortality associated with human reproduction and child development pose some of the most stubborn public health challenges. The proposed project would train scientists in the most advanced methods of identifying the causes of, prevention methods, and treatments for these conditions. Thus, this project will add to the ability to improve the health of women and children.

描述（由申请人提供）：该培训前培训计划以埃默里大学公共卫生学院的流行病学系为中心，埃默里大学公共卫生学院将在流行病学学科中培训杰出的候选人，并在研究团队中指导他们，并在包括基础科学的研究中，并将他们培养在研究团队中，并为他们提供了临床研究员的准备。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。他们将通过研究实习获得研究方法的指导，以使他们能够学习在研究环境中正式教育环境中学到的技能。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。这些领域的核心领导者是Drs。卡罗琳·德鲁斯·博茨（PI和儿科领袖），卡罗尔·霍格（Carol Hogue）（围产期领导人）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，三个中的两个都有管理博士课程的经验。跨学科研讨会将使学生接触潜在的导师。学生的论文研究很可能会从其中一种经验中发展，并通过学生将获得的持续研究补助或补充提供资金。相关性：需要更多基于证据的和流行病学研究，以在减少与妇科不育症，意外怀孕，怀孕并发症，早产，发育障碍和先天性缺陷相关的主要病态和死亡率方面取得重大进展。从他们的论文研究开始并在整个职业生涯中继续进行，该计划的毕业生应为这个知识库做出重大贡献。 公共卫生相关性：与人类繁殖和儿童发展相关的叙事发病率和死亡率构成了一些最顽固的公共卫生挑战。拟议的项目将以最先进的方法来培训科学家，以确定这些条件的原因，预防方法和治疗方法。因此，该项目将增加改善妇女和儿童健康的能力。
