DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): The Reproductive, Perinatal, and Pediatric Epidemiology (RPPE) program, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), Gillings School of Global Public Health (SPH), has long emphasized multidisciplinary training. Our program is unique in that it bridges across three departments in the School; Epidemiology, Nutrition, and Maternal and Child Health (MCH). Dr. Siega-Riz is the director and Dr. Julie Daniels will replace Dr. Andrew Olshan as the co-director in the next term. Our goal is to provide trainees with a multidisciplinary perspective: a strong foundation in epidemiologic concepts and methods, the underlying biology of reproduction and child development and growth, and research experience and skills to pursue independent careers in reproductive, perinatal and pediatric epidemiologic research. To achieve this goal, we developed a curriculum based on courses in Epidemiology, Biostatistics, Maternal and Child Health, Nutrition and Biology; seminars on professional development and cutting edge research topics; and research practice guided by our experienced Program Faculty and Affiliated Members. Overall, in our first round of funding we have supported 13 predoctoral students (5 per year); 5 who have graduated and entered academics as either research tract faculty or postdoctoral fellows. Average time to completion of the degree has been 4 years. The trainees have published 68 articles during their training with 8 more in the submission process. They have all presented and attended at least one national meeting during their training and have actively participated in our RPPE activities. Two of them have won awards. These accomplishments are an indication that our program goals are being achieved by our trainees and they are highly sought after-successfully gaining employment and highly productive as researchers in the field. Renewal of the RPPE program would permit a stable funding base for training, enhance recruitment of outstanding students, including minority students, and provide a new, innovative structure for training through coursework, research mentorship and venues for discussion and exchange.

描述（由申请人提供）：在北卡罗来纳大学教堂山（UNC），吉林斯全球公共卫生（SPH）的繁殖，围产期和小儿流行病学（RPPE）计划，长期以来一直强调多学科培训。我们的计划是独一无二的，因为它在学校的三个部门桥梁桥梁。流行病学，营养以及产妇和儿童健康（MCH）。 Siega-Riz博士是董事，朱莉·丹尼尔斯（Julie Daniels）博士将在下学期取代安德鲁·奥尔山（Andrew Olshan）博士为联合主任。我们的目标是为受训者提供多学科的观点：流行病学概念和方法的坚实基础，生殖，儿童发展和成长的潜在生物学以及研究经验和技能，以从事生殖，围产期和儿童的独立职业。为了实现这一目标，我们基于流行病学，生物统计学，母亲和儿童健康，营养和生物学的课程开发了一项课程；专业发展和尖端研究主题的研讨会；以及我们经验丰富的课程教职员工和附属成员指导的研究实践。总体而言，在我们的第一轮资金中，我们为13名学生提供了支持（每年5名）； 5年毕业并进入学者，当时是研究学院或博士后研究员。学位完成的平均时间为4年。在提交过程中，学员在培训期间发表了68篇文章。他们都在培训期间介绍并至少参加了一次全国会议，并积极参加了我们的RPPE活动。他们两个赢得了奖项。这些成就表明我们的计划目标是由我们的学员实现的，并且在该领域的研究人员中，他们在获得就业之后获得了良好的成功，并高效。 RPPE计划的续签将允许培训稳定的资金基础，增强包括少数族裔学生在内的杰出学生的招聘，并为通过课程，研究指导和讨论和交流场所提供新的创新结构，用于培训。
