This program will provide predoctoral and postdoctoral training specifically in the areas of statistical genetic analysis and genetic epidemiology, with applications to the study of risk factors for cardiovascular and pulmonary disease. After providing only postdoctoral training for the first fifteen years, it is now proposed to expand the program to provide both predoctoral and postdoctoral training. Predoctoral training will be for the Ph.D. degree in Epidemiology and Biostatistics and its is anticipated that some predoctoral stipends will be given to dual MD/PhD candidates while they are PhD students. Postdoctoral training may include training for the M.S. degree in Epidemiology and Biostatistics. However, the most important mode of training for postdoctoral students will be that of conducting collaborative research with faculty-methodological research (using mathematical derivations of computer simulations) and/or substantive research by means of data analysis, using a computer; in the latter case, there will be strong interaction with established research workers in the areas of application. All trainees will attend regularly scheduled seminars and certain lecture and/or reading courses. A particular feature of the program will be the presence of internationally known biostatisticians/geneticists/genetic epidemiologists as visitors, for periods of a few days to a week, giving seminars and short courses in their particular fields of specialty and talking to the trainees about their research projects.
