DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is a competing continuation of our ongoing, longstanding training program in the epidemiology of aging. The proposed program will admit 2 predoctoral and 2 postdoctoral trainees who will obtain an advanced degree in epidemiology from the Harvard School of Public Health and who will work intensively with epidemiologists and methodologists who are experienced in aging research within the Division of Preventive Medicine the Division of Aging, and the Division of Pharmacoepidemiology and Pharmacoeconomics at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School. Training will include three formal components: (1) coursework leading to a master's or doctoral degree in epidemiology or public health, as appropriate given training and career goals; (2) required coursework in the epidemiology of aging and strongly recommended coursework in molecular and genetic epidemiology, as well as participation in seminar series on substantive areas relevant to the epidemiology of aging and methodologic issues related to aging research; and (3) intensive research activities, in which each trainee will collaborate with 1 or more established mentors on a number of projects to gain experience in the design, conduct, and analysis of epidemiology of aging research, leading to presentations at meetings and publications in peer-reviewed journals. Research activities will leverage the many large-scale epidemiologic studies currently funded to the faculty of this training grant. These studies include observational studies and randomized clinical trials, as well as their associated plasma and DNA banks. The latter resources will provide significant opportunities for trainees to meld the practical research techniques of large-scale epidemiology with emerging molecular and genetic approaches, to evaluate risk factors for and treatment of age-related outcomes. The goal of this competing continuation is to continue to successfully prepare future academic researchers and leaders in the field of the epidemiology of aging. As demonstrated by the excellent productivity and research independence of our trainees to date, as well as the renewed commitment of Brigham and Women's Hospital to aging, as evidenced by its recent establishment of a Division of Aging, we are confident in our ability to continue to do so.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案是我们正在进行的长期培训计划的竞争延续。拟议的计划将录取2个托管前和2名博士后学员，他们将获得哈佛公共卫生学院的流行病学高级学位，并将与在预防医学司内接受衰老研究的流行病学家和方法学家在腐蚀医学司和药物学医学学院和药剂师医学和药剂师界和药剂师学院的衰老研究中有深入的合作。培训将包括三个正式组成部分：（1）在给定培训和职业目标的适当情况下，导致流行病学或公共卫生的硕士学位或博士学位； （2）在衰老流行病学和分子和遗传流行病学的强烈推荐课程中所需的课程工作，以及参与与与衰老和衰老研究有关的流行病学相关的实质领域的研讨会系列； （3）密集的研究活动，其中每个学员将与1个或更多既定的导师合作进行许多项目，以获得老龄化研究流行病学的设计，行为和分析，从而在同行评审期刊的会议和出版物上演讲。研究活动将利用目前为该培训赠款学院提供资助的许多大规模流行病学研究。这些研究包括观察性研究和随机临床试验及其相关的血浆和DNA库。后者的资源将为学员提供重要的机会，以将大规模流行病学的实际研究技术与新兴的分子和遗传方法融合在一起，以评估与年龄相关结果的危险因素和治疗。这种竞争延续的目的是继续在衰老流行病学领域成功地为未来的学术研究人员和领导者做好准备。正如迄今为止我们的学员的出色生产力和研究独立性所证明的那样，以及杨百翰和妇女医院对衰老的重新承诺，这证明了其最近建立衰老部门的证据，我们对继续这样做的能力充满信心。
