 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This multidisciplinary Research Training Program in Epidemiology and Prevention of Cardiovascular and Other Related Chronic Diseases in Minority Populations will provide pre- and post-doctoral fellows (MDs and PhDs) with knowledge and skills to prepare them for successful research careers. It draws on significant strengths at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). It utilizes the research/ teaching resources of 31 junior, mid-career, and senior faculty from 19 UIC departments/ institutes plus 4 faculty from Loyola University, Chicago. Most faculty are affiliated with the UIC Institute for Minority Health Research. For postdoctoral fellows, research training typically involves the equivalent of one-year of coursework in methodological aspects of research in the epidemiology of CVD and other related chronic diseases with focus on minority populations. The curriculum includes basic sciences, epidemiologic methods, biostatistics, CVD, chronic disease, and nutritional epidemiology, health disparities, and research ethics. MD-prepared postdoctoral trainees will have the opportunity to obtain an MS in Clinical Translational Sciences. Pre-doctoral trainees will enter the program after completing the requisite graduate coursework; however, they will take additional courses as necessary to meet their training needs. Other didactic experiences will include grand rounds, seminar series, and workshops. Trainees will also work under supervision of two or more mentors on one or more research projects to gain hands-on experience in study design, conduct, and analysis leading to presentations at national meetings and publication in scientific journals. Program faculty have expertise in both CVD-related areas as well as minority health. Areas of expertise include CVD, lung diseases, chronic kidney diseases, sleep disorders, diabetes, design/ analysis of clinical trials, interventional and observational studies, biostatistics, physical activity, nutrition, behavioral medicine, community health, and health services research. The program encourages multi-disciplinary, inter-departmental, inter- collegiate, and inter-institutional teaching, training, and mentoring. It seek to train 2 pre- and 2 post-doctoral fellows in each year, for a period of 2-3 years for the former and 2 years for the latter. Pre-doctoral trainees will be drawn mainly from PhD students in the School of Public Health; postdoctoral trainees will be drawn from both clinical backgrounds (primarily MDs pursuing a research career in cardiovascular medicine) and research backgrounds (PhDs in epidemiology, nutrition, community health sciences, or other relevant fields). An Executive Committee, led by the PI/ Program Director (with support of 2 Co-Directors), will direct the program. Additional guidance will be provided by Internal and External Advisory Committees. Ongoing evaluation will help assure that programmatic and recruitment goals are met. (End of Abstract)

 描述（由适用提供）：这种多学科研究培训计划在流行病学和预防少数族裔人群中心血管和其他相关慢性疾病的预防方案将为博士后和博士后研究员（MDS和PHD）提供知识和技能，以使其为成功的研究职业做好准备。它在伊利诺伊大学（UIC）的伊利诺伊大学取得了重要的优势。它利用31大三的研究/教学资源， 职业生涯和来自芝加哥洛约拉大学的19个UIC部门/学院的高级教职员工。大多数教职员工都隶属于UIC少数民族健康研究所。对于博士后研究员来说，研究培训通常涉及在CVD流行病学和其他相关慢性疾病的方法学方面相当于一年的课程工作，重点是少数人群。该课程包括基本科学，流行病学方法，生物统计学，CVD，慢性病和营养流行病学，健康分布和研究伦理。预先准备的博士后学员将有机会获得临床转化科学的MS。博士前学员将在完成必要的研究生课程后进入该计划；但是，他们将根据需要参加其他课程，以满足他们的培训需求。其他教学经验将包括大回合，开创性系列和讲习班。学员还将在两个或多个导师的监督下进行一个或多个研究项目的监督，以获得研究，进行和分析方面的动手经验，从而在科学期刊的全国会议和出版物上进行演讲。课程教师在CVD相关地区均具有专业知识，又有少数民族健康。专业领域包括CVD，肺部疾病，慢性肾脏疾病，睡眠障碍，糖尿病，临床试验的设计/分析，介入和观察性研究，生物统计学，体育活动，营养，行为医学，社区健康和健康服务研究。该计划鼓励多学科，跨部门，学院间和机构间的教学，培训和心理。它试图在每年训练2个前和2次博士后研究员，在前者中为2 - 3年，后者为2年。博士前学员将主要来自公共卫生学院的博士学位学生；博士后学员将来自临床背景（主要是从事心血管医学研究职业的MD）和研究背景（流行病学，营养，社区健康科学或其他相关领域的博士学位）。由PI/计划主管（在2个联合主任的支持下）领导的执行委员会将指导该计划。内部和外部咨询委员会将提供其他指南。持续的评估将有助于确保实现程序和招聘目标。 （抽象的结尾）
