DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Washington Department of Biostatistics, with the collaboration of faculty from the Departments of Epidemiology and Occupational and Environmental Health Sciences, and the Divisions of Medical Genetics, Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, and General Internal Medicine, proposes to train biostatisticians for collaborative work in cardiovascular research. This would be the fifth renewal of a very successful training grant, and would support seven predoctoral trainees. The PhD program includes coursework in statistical theory, biostatistical methodology, and data analysis, and a statistical consulting practicum. Coursework in the biological sciences and an oral examination on a topic in cardiovascular biology or medicine are required for students who do not have graduate qualifications in a biological discipline. After satisfying these requirements the student proceeds to complete a doctoral dissertation. Students are enrolled with prior training in mathematics, statistics, or the biological sciences. Program prerequisites include linear algebra, probability, and two years of calculus; promising students with biology majors may be admitted provisionally if they have not satisfied all the mathematical prerequisites. All trainees are additionally required to act as teaching assistants, to provide experience in communicating statistical concepts to non-statisticians.

描述（由申请人提供）： 华盛顿大学生物统计学系与流行病学系、职业与环境健康科学系、医学遗传学系、肺科和重症监护医学系以及普通内科系的教员合作，提议培训生物统计学家进行协​​作工作在心血管研究中。这将是非常成功的培训补助金的第五次更新，并将支持七名博士前学员。博士课程包括统计理论、生物统计方法和数据分析课程以及统计咨询实习。对于没有生物学科研究生资格的学生，需要完成生物科学课程以及心血管生物学或医学主题的口试。满足这些要求后，学生将继续完成博士论文。学生在入学前接受过数学、统计学或生物科学方面的培训。课程先决条件包括线性代数、概率和两年微积分；如果没有满足所有数学先决条件，有前途的生物学专业学生可能会被临时录取。所有学员还必须担任助教，以提供向非统计学家传达统计概念的经验。
