DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The interface of behavioral and biomedical sciences is one of the most vibrant frontiers of science today. The proposed Training Program, Mechanisms of Health and Disease at the Behavioral- Biomedical Interface, is designed to train predoctoral students to meet this challenge and to be the leaders and innovators of Behavioral and Biomedical science. In response to the NIGMS-sponsored initiative to train predoctoral students at the interface of Behavioral and Biomedical science, we propose an innovative new Training Program focused on Behavioral-Biomedical interface training around three themes: Lifespan Brain Health, Psychobiology of Chronic Disease, and Women's Health and Disease. The overarching objective of our Program is to train the next generation of behavioral science researchers to utilize biomedical methodologies and conceptual frameworks that stretch the boundaries of their thinking and research to enable them to make transformative breakthroughs in understanding both health and behavior. Through a combination of coursework and laboratory experiences, the program will provide predoctoral students with (1) Broad based training in the fundamentals of behavioral science including statistical methodology and experimental design, and key issues in health psychology and behavioral medicine, clinical psychology, and neuroscience; (2) In-depth training in pathophysiology and specific biomedical research areas (including the conceptual framework, driving hypotheses, and laboratory techniques of those areas); and (3) guidance and mentoring for development and implementation of an innovative independent research program that spans both behavioral and biomedical science. The Training Program will be conducted by faculty from the Department of Psychology and the College of Medicine at the University of Iowa and will enable us to formalize and strengthen the training at the interface that already exists informally at Iowa. This program is highly relevant to public health because training at the behavioral-biomedical interface will enable these scientists to more effectively understand and innovatively address mechanisms of health and disease.

描述（由申请人提供）：行为和生物医学科学的界面是当今科学最充满活力的边界之一。拟议的培训计划，行为生物医学界面的健康和疾病机制，旨在培训术前学生应对这一挑战，并成为行为和生物医学科学的领导者和创新者。为了响应于行为和生物医学科学界面上培训专业学生的NIGMS赞助计划，我们提出了一项创新的新培训计划，重点介绍了三个主题的行为生物医学界面培训：寿命脑健康，慢性疾病的心理生物学以及妇女的健康和疾病。我们计划的总体目标是培训下一代的行为科学研究人员利用生物医学方法和概念框架，这些框架扩展了他们的思维和研究的界限，以使他们能够在理解健康和行为方面实现变革性的突破。通过课程工作和实验室经验的结合，该计划将为学生提供（1）（1）在行为科学基础上进行基于（包括统计方法论和实验设计）以及健康心理学和行为医学，临床心理学和神经科学的关键问题的广泛培训； （2）在病理生理学和特定生物医学研究领域（包括概念框架，驾驶假设和实验室技术）进行的深入培训； （3）涵盖行为和生物医学科学的创新独立研究计划的开发和实施指导和指导。培训计划将由爱荷华大学心理学系和医学院的教师进行，并使我们能够正式和加强爱荷华州非正式存在的界面培训。该计划与公共卫生高度相关，因为在行为生物医学界面进行的培训将使这些科学家能够更有效地理解和创新地解决健康和疾病的机制。
