DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Division of Biostatistics at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHSCH) will establish a pre-doctoral training in Biostatistics, by strengthening the links between the PhD degree programs in Biostatistics and the Human Genetics center. We will use the immense opportunities afforded by the School of Public Health (SPH), the Coordinating Center for Clinical Trials, the Human Genetics Center, the Center for Health Promotion and Prevention Research and the Graduate School of Biological Sciences, among other entities within our institution. The UTHSCH-SPH's extremely successful interdisciplinary research programs and location within the world's largest health science center produces broadly trained PhD biostatisticians with interdisciplinary expertise in at least two additional areas beyond statistical theory and methodologies, such as biology, genetics, epidemiology, clinical trials and behavioral sciences. The demand for researchers with outstanding training in both biology and biostatistics is high and more evident given the recent rapid advances in biological research. The Division of Biostatistics clearly recognizes this trend and this training program is geared to meet the challenge of preparing 21st century biostatisticians who will be at the forefront of research. This application seeks support for a formal training program in Biostatistics of 18 trainees during the period of five years with a focus in statistical genetics. The objectives of the training program are (i) provide in-depth training in statistical theory and methodologies, and biology, genetics, clinical, epidemiological and behavioral sciences, (ii) provide exposure and a broad scope of research opportunities in basic and clinical studies by our faculty, seminars and journal clubs (iii) recruit, retain and graduate 18 PhD Biostatisticians from diverse scientific backgrounds as well as underrepresented minorities with interdisciplinary research training and (iv) establish a home for students of diverse backgrounds with the common interest to apply statistical and computational approach to biological research.

描述（由申请人提供）：德克萨斯大学健康科学中心（UTHSCH）的生物统计学分公司将通过加强生物统计学学位课程与人类遗传学中心的博士学位计划之间的联系，以建立生物统计学的博士前培训。我们将利用公共卫生学院（SPH），临床试验协调中心，人类遗传学中心，健康促进与预防研究中心以及我们机构中的其他实体提供的巨大机会。 UTHSCH-SPH在世界上最大的健康科学中心内的极其成功的跨学科研究计划和位置，在统计理论，遗传学，流行病学，临床试验和行为科学等统计理论和方法之外，在至少两个其他领域中生产了受过跨学科专业知识的广泛培训的博士学位生物统计学家。鉴于生物学研究的最新进展，对生物学和生物统计学培训的研究人员的需求很高，而且更明显。生物统计学的部门清楚地意识到了这一趋势，该培训计划旨在应对准备21世纪生物统计学家的挑战，他们将处于研究的最前沿。该申请在五年期间为18名学员生物统计学的正式培训计划提供支持，重点是统计遗传学。培训计划的目标是（i）提供统计理论和方法，生物学，遗传学，临床，流行病学和行为科学方面的深入培训，（ii）在我们的教职员工，研讨会和培训俱乐部（III）招聘的基础和临床研究中，提供基础和临床研究的广泛研究机会（III），以及各种毕业生18 phd的培训，以及不同接受跨学科研究培训和（IV）的少数民族为具有统计学和计算方法的共同兴趣的学生建立了一个家园，将其应用于生物学研究。
