DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of our Training Program in GI Epidemiology is to develop academic gastroenterologists trained in the design and execution of clinical research. This is the second competitive renewal application of our uniquely-focused program, which is one of only three GI Epidemiology Training Programs in the US. With this training, these GI fellows become junior faculty who successfully compete for external funding. Since inception in 2002, 10 trainees have completed this program: 80% (8/10) accepted tenure-track positions at academic medical centers and 70% successfully applied for foundation or federal career development awards. (Our most recent trainee will be interviewing for a tenure-track position.) Support is requested for 2 post-doctoral trainees (i.e., gastroenterology fellows) with each post-doctoral trainee completing two years of training. The goals of the Training Program in GI Epidemiology are: (a) Completion of a MSc degree focused on the design and execution of clinical research; (b) Completion of a focused GI Epidemiology seminar series and a comprehensive clinical epidemiology/health care policy seminar series; (c) Successful design, execution, and publication of multiple clinical research projects under the guidance of a team of mentors, including methodology experts (e.g., epidemiologists) and content experts (e.g., gastroenterologists); and, (d) Preparation of a career development award grant application to provide transitional funding and facilitate an independent career in academic medicine and research. Each trainee focuses on a specific issue (e.g., impact of IL-28b polymorphism on treatment of HCV) and completes three projects: (a) a meta-analysis; (b) a retrospective database study; and, (c) design of a prospective trial. These projects provide the foundation and preliminary data for the career development award grant application. The environment at the University of Michigan has vast resources from multiple centers and research institutes. These resources include the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Clinical Scholars Program, Ann Arbor VA Center for Clinical Management Research (VA Center of Excellence for Health Services Research & Development), and the Michigan Institute of Clinical & Health Research (MICHR). Our multi-disciplinary faculty includes expert biostatisticians, epidemiologists, and outcomes researchers from the Divisions of General Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology. Most faculty are federally funded for their on-going research, and these faculty offer a broad spectrum of research expertise with multiple levels of established collaboration and many years of experience mentoring trainees.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们在胃肠道流行病学方面的培训计划的目的是开发接受临床研究设计和执行培训的学术胃肠病学家。这是我们独特的计划的第二次竞争更新应用，该计划是美国仅有的三个GI流行病学培训计划之一。经过这项培训，这些GI研究员成为了成功竞争外部资金的初级教师。自2002年成立以来，有10位学员完成了该计划：80％（8/10）在学术医疗中心接受了终身职位，并成功申请了70％的终身职位。 （我们最近的学员将面试任期职位。）请求支持2名博士后学员（即胃肠病学研究员） 每位博士后学员都在完成两年的培训。胃肠道流行病学培训计划的目标是：（a）完成临床研究设计和执行的MSC学位； （b）完成重点的GI流行病学研讨会系列和全面的临床流行病学/医疗保健政策研讨会系列； （c）在指导团队的指导下成功设计，执行和发布多个临床研究项目，包括方法论专家（例如流行病学家）和内容专家（例如胃肠病学家）； （d）准备职业发展奖的授予申请，以提供过渡资金并促进学术医学和研究的独立职业。每个学员都专注于特定问题（例如，IL-28B多态性对HCV治疗的影响），并完成了三个项目：（a）荟萃分析； （b）回顾性数据库研究； （c）设计前瞻性试验的设计。这些项目为职业发展奖授予申请提供了基础和初步数据。密歇根大学的环境有多个中心和研究机构的大量资源。这些资源包括Robert Wood Johnson基金会临床学者计划，Ann Arbor VA临床管理研究中心（VA卫生服务研究与发展卓越中心）和密歇根州临床与健康研究所（MICHR）。我们的跨学科教师包括专业的生物统计学家，流行病学家以及一般内科和胃肠病学部门的研究人员。大多数教职员工都是为他们正在进行的研究提供的联邦资助，这些教职员工提供了广泛的研究专业知识，具有多个既定的合作和多年的指导学员的经验。
