 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This grant application requests support for a new training program in Environmental Life Course Epidemiology. The training program will be directed by Drs. Pam Factor-Litvak and Robin Whyatt. It requests funds for two pre-doctoral trainees and one post-doctoral trainee in year 1, and gradually increases to a total of four pre doctoral and two post-doctoral trainees by year 5. The proposed mentors are well funded and well published investigators with considerable experience in training Master's, pre-doctoral and post-doctoral students. The theme of the program is to train a new generation of scientists in the life course approach to environmental epidemiology and population health that is to investigate early environmental exposures and outcomes which may not manifest themselves until later in the life course and to study the possible biologic, social, behavioral and psychological mechanisms behind such exposure - outcome relationships. The proposed program builds upon the long, distinguished and ongoing history of life course and molecular epidemiology approaches at Columbia. Pre doctoral trainees will complete the requirements for a PhD in epidemiology or environmental health sciences, including specific course requirements in the life course track and dissertation research related to the life course, and will be offered funding for a period of 5 years. Post-doctoral trainees will pursue research in environmental life course epidemiology under the guidance of experienced mentors. Thus, trainees will be uniquely prepared to perform environmental life course research in a variety of academic and public health settings.

 描述（由申请人提供）：该拨款申请请求支持环境生命课程流行病学的新培训计划，该培训计划将由 Pam Factor-Litvak 和 Robin Whyatt 博士指导。第一年有一名博士后实习生，到第五年逐渐增加到四名博士前实习生和两名博士后实习生。拟议的导师是资金充足、发表过大量论文的研究人员，在培养硕士、该计划的主题是培养新一代科学家采用生命历程方法研究环境流行病学和人口健康，即研究早期环境暴露和结果，这些暴露和结果可能要到后来才会显现出来。所提议的项目建立在哥伦比亚大学博士前学员将完成的生命历程和分子流行病学方法的长期、杰出和持续历史的基础上。博士学位的要求流行病学或环境健康科学，包括生命历程轨迹中的具体课程要求以及与生命历程相关的论文研究，并将获得资助 为期五年的博士后学员将在经验丰富的导师的指导下进行环境生命历程流行病学研究，从而为在各种学术和公共卫生环境中进行环境生命历程研究做好准备。
