DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Utah has an exemplary record of informatics training dating back to the mid-1960s, when the program was founded by Dr. Homer R. Warner. Having graduated the most PhDs of any informatics program, ours is both the oldest as well as one of the most productive informatics training enterprise in the world. In this, our third renewal application, we detail our highly successful past decade and outline our plans to continue improving and innovating as we help train the next generation of informatics researchers. We chartered our long-term goal five decades ago: to create and sustain a modern, adaptive, and relevant training environment that promotes research excellence. The mission of our program centers on improving health outcomes through the innovative use of information systems, emphasizing clinical informatics; public health informatics; and translational/clinical research informatics. Our specific training objectives are: * To provide a thoroughly integrated curriculum that includes foundational theory as well as exposure to practice, one sensitive to the continual evolution of the field of informatics. * To ensure a solid grounding in the responsible conduct of research for all trainees. * To foster a research environment that provides the broadest possible variety of resources to faculty and trainees, while carefully mentoring and monitoring trainees to ensure timely, high-caliber research. * To recruit trainees nationally/internationally with a special emphasis on attracting women and underrepresented minorities to enrich diversity in the field of biomedical informatics in Utah and beyond. The key elements of our research training plan reflect these training objectives. We continue a major curriculum enhancement program started in 2006. For training in the ethical conduct of research, we exploit the background of the proposed Program Director (Hurdle) who, as former Chair of the University of Utah IRB, organizes training in the responsible conduct of research. Regarding our trainee research environment, we provide unparalleled access to clinical, public health, and translational clinical research opportunities as well as a network and computational infrastructure second to none. Our trainees in clinical informatics have one of the broadest choices of clinical settings in the nation: a major academic medical center; a statewide nonprofit healthcare network; and a regional Veterans Administration Medical Center. Finally, our mentoring and evaluation plan can be summarized as 'continual, systematic, and proactive--a balanced mixture of automated tracking and regular face-to-face meetings.' The overarching rationale behind our program is to ensure that our trainees complete a thoughtful training program that stresses curricular diversity mixed with practical experience and research excellence. Our projected complement of trainees includes the standard nine pre- doctoral and six post-doctoral positions, as well as two annual short-term diversity positions, one pre- and one post-doctoral.

描述（由申请人提供）：犹他大学在该计划由荷马·R·华纳（Homer R. Warner）博士建立时，可以追溯到1960年代中期的信息学培训记录。毕业于任何信息学课程中最多的博士学位，我们的博士学位既是世界上最古老的，也是世界上最有生产力的信息学培训企业之一。在我们的第三次续订应用程序中，我们详细介绍了过去十年成功的成功，并概述了我们在帮助培训下一代信息学研究人员时继续改善和创新的计划。我们将五十年前的长期目标租用了：创建和维持一个现代，适应性和相关的培训环境，以促进卓越的研究。我们计划的使命是通过信息系统的创新使用来改善健康结果，强调临床信息学；公共卫生信息学；以及翻译/临床研究信息学。我们的具体培训目标是： *提供一个彻底整合的课程，其中包括基础理论以及接触实践，一种对信息学领域的持续发展敏感。 *确保对所有学员负责地进行研究的扎实基础。 *培养一个研究环境，该研究环境为教师和受训者提供最广泛的资源，同时仔细指导和监视受训者，以确保及时，高素质的研究。 *在国内/国际上招募学员，特别着重于吸引妇女和代表性不足的少数民族，以丰富犹他州及其他地区生物医学信息学领域的多样性。 我们的研究培训计划的关键要素反映了这些培训目标。我们将继续进行一项主要的课程增强计划，始于2006年。对于研究道德行为的培训，我们利用了拟议的计划主管（Hurdle）的背景，他们作为犹他大学IRB大学的前主席，组织了负责任的研究培训。关于我们的学员研究环境，我们提供无与伦比的临床，公共卫生和转化临床研究机会以及网络和计算基础设施的访问权限。我们的临床信息学学员是美国临床环境中最广泛的选择之一：一个主要的学术医学中心；全州非营利性医疗保健网络；以及一个地区退伍军人管理医疗中心。最后，我们的指导和评估计划可以总结为“持续，系统的和积极主动的 - 自动跟踪和常规面对面会议的平衡混合物”。我们计划背后的总体理由是确保我们的学员完成了一项周到的培训计划，该计划强调课程多样性与实践经验和卓越的研究。我们预计的受训者的补充包括标准的九个博士学位和六个博士后职位，以及两个年度短期多样性职位，一个是前后的一份。
