NHLBI CVD EPIDEMIOLOGY AND BIOSTATISTICS TRAINING PROGRAMThe Johns Hopkins Medical Institution
Department of Epidemiology and the Welch Center for Prevention, Epidemiology and Clinical Research Welch Center - http://www.jhsph.edu/welchcenter Department of Epidemiology --- http://www.jhsph.edu/cvdepi Director: Josef Coresh, M.D., Ph.D. Address, phone, e-mail Abstract The overall goal of our institutional training grant is to develop creative and independent investigators in cardiovascular disease epidemiology. The Program is based in the Department of Epidemiology but benefits from close ties with other population- and clinically-oriented departments at The Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions as well as several affiliated community-based research units. Both pre- and post-doctoral candidates are accepted for training. All candidates are enrolled in degree programs based in the Department of Epidemiology (doctoral training or master of health science degree training). All trainees participate in a structured schedule of didactic course work, journal club, seminar series, and program-specific research in progress meetings, "hands-on" analysis of existing data sets and a thesis research project involving original data collection. Currently, 4 pre-doctoral and 5 post-doctoral trainees are being supported by our grant. Within the overall context of cardiovascular disease epidemiology, trainees have a broad range of interests both in terms of methodology and content. The training grant emphasizes the importance of a multi-disciplinary approach to investigation and is intended to prepare participants for a lifetime of learning and research. Areas of Special Emphasis Building on a base of "traditional" interests in risk factor identification and non-pharmacologic as well as pharmacologic interventions, we are devoting increasing emphasis to the following areas: (1) molecular and genetic epidemiology; (2) minority health issues; (3) non-traditional measurements in cardiovascular disease; (4) connections between renal and cardiovascular disease; (5) methodologic issues in cardiovascular disease; (6) women's health issues; (7) cardiovascular disease research in the community; and (8) links between epidemiology and public policy. Type of Training: Pre-doctoral and Post-doctoral
