DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Health manpower projections for the United States consistently indicate a shortage of well-trained researchers in the fields of epidemiology and prevention. This five-year proposal is for renewal of a longstanding training grant in the epidemiology and prevention of cardiovascular disease held by the Division of Epidemiology & Community Health of the University of Minnesota. The program is highly successful, having graduated four dozen fellows since 1977. Among graduates in the past 10 years, 91 percent are in research careers, mostly in cardiovascular research at academic institutions or government agencies. The training program's excellent facilities, large and diverse faculty, and broad research opportunities offer an outstanding training environment. Our training program has continued to evolve and improve, to offer a cutting-edge training experience in cardiovascular disease epidemiology and prevention. In the most recent period (2009-2014), the program was awarded five predoctoral and two postdoctoral fellowship positions. Positions have been filled throughout and we continue to have outstanding applicants. Fellows have been highly productive, generating many useful publications and presenting at national and international meetings. Our proposal for renewal (2014-2019) is to maintain seven fellowship positions per year - three postdoctoral and four predoctoral. The University of Minnesota two to three year fellowship program offers outstanding training opportunities in direct research experience combined with a strong curriculum of formal courses and seminars. The participation of disadvantaged trainees is a high priority for the fellowship. The uniqueness of the training is the commitment of its faculty and the breadth of existing research, from the laboratory to the community. The continued need for qualified cardiovascular epidemiologists and the program's documented success justify its renewal.

描述（申请人提供）：美国的健康人力预测始终表明缺乏流行病学和预防领域训练有素的研究人员。这项为期五年的建议是为了续签在明尼苏达大学流行病学与社区健康部所持的流行病学和预防心血管疾病的长期培训补助金。该计划非常成功，自1977年以来毕业了四十名研究员。在过去的10年中，毕业生在研究职业中有91％的人，主要是在学术机构或政府机构的心血管研究中。该培训计划的出色设施，大而多样化的教职员工以及广泛的研究机会提供了出色的培训环境。我们的培训计划继续发展和改进，以提供心血管疾病流行病学和预防方面的尖端培训经验。 在最近（2009 - 2014年）的最新时期，该计划获得了五个五次和两个博士后奖学金职位。职位始终填补，我们继续有出色的申请人。研究员的生产力很高，产生了许多有用的出版物，并在国家和国际会议上发表。我们对续订的提议（2014-2019）是每年保持七个奖学金职位 - 三个博士后和四个冠军。 明尼苏达大学两到三年的奖学金计划在直接研究经验中提供了出色的培训机会，并结合了正式课程和研讨会的强大课程。弱势学员的参与是奖学金的重中之重。培训的独特性是 从实验室到社区的教师的承诺和现有研究的广度。对合格的心血管流行病学家的持续需求，该计划的成功证明了其续签是合理的。
