DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Advances throughout the biomedical sciences rely to an increasing degree on the principles and methods of statistical analysis. The ability of a lab or clinic to generate data often outpaces its ability to fully analyze that data; and this can limit research progress. Being a science concerned with the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data itself, statistics will play a critical role in resolving the information bottleneck facing biomedical scientists. The research mission of our program is to pursue the most important problems at the interface between statistics and biomedical science - the problems of biostatistics. The aims of our interdisciplinary training program are to recruit and provide pre-doctoral training in cardiovascular and pulmonary biostatistics to talented students who are interested in careers in biomedical science. The demand is high for scientists with this expertise. In contrast with traditional biostatistics training, the proposed program will emphasize and further support the interdisciplinary elements of biostatistical research. Through course work, pre-doctoral trainees will learn theoretical, methodological, and practical underpinnings of statistics, and also relevant topics in biology, bioinformatics, clinical investigation, population-based investigation, and the responsible conduct of research. In a novel lab rotation system, trainees will become familiar with the biomedical context surrounding active investigations. Those who succeed in the program will be well positioned for further success in academia, government or industry. Contributing to the program are leading research/training departments, a high level of collaborative research across many disciplines, and a proactive approach to increasing the domestic supply of undergraduates through summer internship programs. We know that biostatistics has a critical role to play in modern cardiovascular and pulmonary medical science, and so we have designed an interdisciplinary training program to most effectively train the next generation of biostatisticians.

描述（由申请人提供）： 整个生物医学科学的项目摘要/摘要进展依赖于统计分析的原理和方法。实验室或诊所生成数据的能力通常超过其完全分析该数据的能力。这可以限制研究进展。作为与数据本身的收集，分析和解释有关的科学，统计数据将在解决面对生物医学科学家的信息瓶颈方面发挥关键作用。我们计划的研究任务是在统计学与生物医学科学之间的界面 - 生物统计学问题上解决最重要的问题。我们的跨学科培训计划的目的是为对生物医学科学职业感兴趣的有益的学生招募并提供心血管和肺生物统计学的博士前培训。对于具有这种专业知识的科学家来说，需求很高。与传统的生物统计学培训相反，该计划将强调并进一步支持生物统计研究的跨学科要素。通过课程工作，博士后学员将学习统计学的理论，方法论和实际基础，以及生物学，生物信息学，临床研究，基于人群的研究以及负责任的研究的相关主题。在新型的实验室旋转系统中，学员将熟悉围绕积极研究的生物医学背景。那些在该计划中取得成功的人将在学术界，政府或工业中取得进一步的成功。为该计划做出贡献是领先的研究/培训部门，许多学科的高水平协作研究以及通过暑期实习计划增加本科生供应的积极主动方法。我们知道，生物统计学在现代心血管和肺科学中起着至关重要的作用，因此我们设计了一项跨学科培训计划，以最有效地训练下一​​代生物统计学家。
