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）：休斯顿德克萨斯大学健康科学中心 (UTHSCH) 生物统计学系将通过加强生物统计学博士学位课程与人类遗传学中心之间的联系，建立生物统计学博士前培训。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、健康促进和预防研究中心、生物科学研究生院以及我们的其他实体提供的巨大机会。机构。 UTHSCH-SPH 极其成功的跨学科研究项目以及位于世界上最大的健康科学中心的地理位置，培养了经过广泛培训的生物统计学博士，他们在统计理论和方法之外的至少两个其他领域（例如生物学、遗传学、流行病学、临床试验和行为学）拥有跨学科专业知识。科学。鉴于生物学研究最近的快速发展，对在生物学和生物统计学方面受过良好培训的研究人员的需求很高，而且这一点更加明显。生物统计学司清楚地认识到这一趋势，该培训计划旨在迎接挑战，培养站在研究前沿的 21 世纪生物统计学家。该申请寻求对 18 名学员为期五年的生物统计学正式培训计划的支持，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以及生物学、遗传学、临床、流行病学和行为科学方面的深入培训，（ii）提供基础和临床研究的接触和广泛的研究机会通过我们的教员、研讨会和期刊俱乐部 (iii) 招募、留住和毕业 18 名来自不同科学背景以及接受过跨学科研究培训的代表性不足的少数群体的生物统计学博士生，以及 (iv) 为不同背景的学生建立一个共同的家园有兴趣将统计和计算方法应用于生物学研究。
