DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This new broad-based T32 proposal is focused on supporting graduate students pursuing imaging informatics research at UCLA. With the now ubiquitous usage of imaging as an in vivo method for objectively documenting and elucidating disease and the human condition, novel research challenges arise in the acquisition, the un- distending, and the usage of imaging and related (clinical) data to realize new knowledge and improved health outcomes. Led by the UCLA Medical Imaging Informatics (MII) group, this training program will support doctoral students from a variety of departments, including Bioengineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, and Information Studies. Students in Bioengineering specializing in medical imaging informatics fol- low a PhD program major structured around a 1-year core curriculum that provides a foundational basis in dif- ferment aspects of imaging informatics, covering information infrastructures/systems and clinical data standards; medical decision-making; medical knowledge representation and modeling; information retrieval; and the un- derlying principles of medical image acquisition, standardization, and content understanding. Students are ex- posed to the full spectrum of imaging informatics research; its applications; and its growing relation to other sub-disciplines, including bioinformatics and public health. Subsequently, predoctoral students further special- size in different areas through additional elective courses that provide advanced training in support of a disserta- tion area. Students from electrical engineering, computer science, and information studies participate in this training program through the completion of a minor, including coursework from the same 1-year core curricu- lum, and dissertation research addressing an imaging informatics area. Trainees are immediately engaged in imaging informatics research, with a wide range of opportunities to work with faculty on ongoing research pro- jects. Building from an existent imaging informatics program, this proposal further includes: 1) the formalization of a practicum for 1st year bioengineering graduates students during the summer, in coordination with the Vet- erans Administration and the Los Angeles County Health Department; 2) the development of a public health minor; and 3) the creation of new elective courses in the areas of clinical and imaging informatics. Faculty supporting this training program represents an interdisciplinary group of researchers from across the UCLA campus, including the Schools of Engineering & Applied Sciences; Medicine; Public Health; and Gradu- ate Education & Information Studies. Many of the faculty is nationally recognized leaders in their disciplines; collectively, these individuals provide a comprehensive and complementary set of (funded) research areas and skills that enrich the training experience.

描述（由申请人提供）：这项新的基础广泛的 T32 提案侧重于支持在 UCLA 进行成像信息学研究的研究生。随着成像作为客观记录和阐明疾病和人类状况的体内方法的普遍使用，在成像和相关（临床）数据的采集、膨胀和使用以实现新的研究方面出现了新的研究挑战。知识和改善健康结果。该培训计划由加州大学洛杉矶分校医学影像信息学 (MII) 小组领导，将为来自生物工程、电气工程、计算机科学和信息研究等多个院系的博士生提供支持。生物工程专业医学影像信息学专业的学生将攻读博士学位课程，该课程围绕为期一年的核心课程构建，为影像信息学的不同方面提供基础，涵盖信息基础设施/系统和临床数据标准；医疗决策；医学知识表示和建模；信息检索；以及医学图像采集、标准化和内容理解的基本原则。学生将接触到全方位的影像信息学研究；它的应用；及其与其他子学科（包括生物信息学和公共卫生）日益密切的关系。随后，博士前学生通过额外的选修课程进一步扩大不同领域的专业规模，这些课程提供高级培训以支持论文领域。电气工程、计算机科学和信息研究的学生通过完成辅修课程参与该培训计划，包括同一年核心课程的课程作业以及针对成像信息学领域的论文研究。学员将立即从事成像信息学研究，并有广泛的机会与教师一起开展正在进行的研究项目。该提案以现有的成像信息学项目为基础，进一步包括：1）与退伍军人管理局和洛杉矶县卫生部门协调，在夏季为一年级生物工程研究生提供正式的实习； 2）公共卫生未成年人的发展； 3）在临床和影像信息学领域开设新的选修课程。支持该培训计划的教师代表来自加州大学洛杉矶分校整个校园的跨学科研究人员小组，包括工程与应用科学学院；药品;公共卫生；和研究生教育与信息研究。许多教师都是各自学科领域全国公认的领导者；总的来说，这些人提供了一套全面且互补的（受资助的）研究领域和技能，丰富了培训经验。
