DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The program goal is to train pre-doctoral and postdoctoral biostatisticians in statistical theory and methods as applied to HIV/AID. This aim is addressed by an integrated collaboration between biostatisticians and HIV/AIDS to provide: supervision by biostatisticians with extensive experience in the development of statistical methodology; interaction with researchers with extensive experience in HIV/AIDS; practical experience in the applications of statistical methodology to problems in AIDS clinical trials and observatory studies by participating in consulting projects and attending colloquia; mentoring of trainees to assist in developing independent academic careers. Training: This training program is a collaboration between the Departments of Biostatistics and Computational Biology (DBCB), the Infectious Diseases Division in the Department of Medicine, Department of Microbiology & Immunology, and the Department of Community and Preventive Medicine. The DBCB offers a Ph.D. degree in Statistics with an option in Biostatistics. The Department, created to foster biostatistical research and collaboration with researchers in the Medical Center, provides the administrative leadership and the critical link with the HIV/AIDS investigators. Trainees will be matched with a biostatistician as primary preceptor and an AIDS investigator as a secondary cosponsor. The Training Grant Committee will review the progress of the trainees and the program. Trainees: Predoctoral trainees will have completed a baccalaureate degree with a major in mathematics, statistics, or a science major with a strong minor in mathematics or statistics. Selection is based on academic record, GRE scores, and recommendations. Predoctoral trainees must fulfill the standard requirements for the Ph. D. degree in statistics plus additional courses in biostatistics, epidemiology and HIV prevention. Two predoctoral four-year awards will be granted. Postdoctoral trainees must have completed a Ph. D. in statistics, mathematics or a related discipline. Each postdoctoral trainee will enroll in appropriate courses, attend seminars, and work with faculty mentors on biostatistics research and specific AIDS related projects. Three postdoctoral traineeships are awarded to establish an alternating two-year program.

描述（由申请人提供）：计划的目标是在统计理论中培训博士前和博士后生物统计学家，以及适用于HIV/AID的方法。生物统计学家与艾滋病毒/艾滋病之间的综合合作解决了这一目标，以提供：生物统计学家在统计方法发展方面具有丰富经验的监督；与在艾滋病毒/艾滋病方面经验丰富的研究人员的互动；通过参与咨询项目和参加Colloquia，统计方法论在AIDS临床试验和天文台研究中的应用中应用的实践经验；指导学员，以协助发展独立的学术职业。培训：该培训计划是生物统计学和计算生物学部门（DBCB），医学系，微生物学和免疫学系，社区和预防医学系之间的合作。 DBCB提供博士学位。统计学学位，具有生物统计学选项。该部门旨在与医学中心的研究人员建立生物统计学研究和合作，提供了行政领导和与艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究人员的关键联系。学员将与生物统计学家作为主要受体，并作为辅助研究员作为次要的同事。培训赠款委员会将审查学员和计划的进度。受训者：学会前学员将完成学士学位，并拥有数学，统计学专业或科学专业的专业，具有数学或统计学的辅修学位。选择基于学术记录，GRE分数和建议。托管前学员必须满足统计学博士学位以及生物统计学，流行病学和艾滋病毒预防的其他课程的标准要求。将授予两个四年奖。博士后学员必须在统计，数学或相关学科中完成博士学位。每个博士后学员都将参加适当的课程，参加研讨会，并与教师导师一起进行生物统计学研究和特定艾滋病相关项目。授予三个博士后培训，以建立一项交替的两年计划。
