View Award Description

Colorado Biomedical Informatics Training Program - The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus Computational Bioscience Program (CPBS) Program is an independent, Ph.D.-granting and postdoctoral training program based in the University of Colorado School of Medicine, with a 20-year track record of innovative and effective training of pre- and post-doctoral fellows for research careers. We are a second-generation teaching program, informed by the experience of the many biomedical informatics training models that have come before us. Our program is designed to produce graduates with depth in both computational methods and biomedicine, an intimate familiarity with the science and technology that synergizes the two, and the skills necessary to pioneer novel computational approaches to significant biomedical questions. We are aware of the difficulty of achieving both breadth and depth in a reasonable amount of time, and believe we have identified a novel approach that is capable of training productive interdisciplinary scientists in a relatively short period. The program is tightly focused on transforming already strong students and recent Ph.D.'s into mature and productive scientists. Our program is structured around a set of four categories of educational goals and objectives: knowledge, communication skills, professional behavior, and self-directed life-long learning. Our graduates demonstrate the knowledge of core concepts and principles of biomedical informatics, and have the ability to apply computation to gain insight into important biomedical problems. Their knowledge includes mastery of the fundamentals of biomedicine, clinical and translational research, statistics, and computer science, as well as proficiency in the integration of these fields. Our graduates have contributed to the discovery and dissemination of new knowledge. They demonstrate interpersonal, oral, and written skills that enable them to interact productively with scientists from both the biomedical and the computational domains, to communicate the results of their work in appropriate formats, and to teach others biomedical informatics skills; they effectively bridge the gap between biomedical and computational cultures. Our graduates demonstrate the highest standards of professional integrity and exemplary behavior, as reflected in a commitment to the ethical conduct of research, continuous professional development, and thoughtfulness regarding the broader implications of their work. Our unique approach to teaching computational bioethics has been adopted by many others around the world. Our graduates demonstrate habits and skills for self-directed and life- long learning, and recognize that biomedical informatics is a rapidly evolving discipline. Our program itself is also undergoing continuous improvement, carefully tracking our efforts and quickly responding to changes in the field and in our situation. We are justifiably proud of our outstanding track record as well as of our dynamic and adaptive approach to the training of adept, flexible, and curious scientists able to comfortably assimilate new ideas and technologies during the course of their professional careers. Based on our successful track record, we are requesting that our current slot allocation be increased to 9 predoctoral, 6 postdoctoral and 4 short term positions.
