MCH Epidemiology Doctoral Training

Description

Building on infrastructure provided by the Centers of Excellence in MCH funding, the purpose of the MCH Epidemiology Doctoral Training support is to train the future MCH epidemiologic workforce and promote advancements in applied MCH research. Program objectives include: (1) to provide financial support to doctoral students who conduct state or local level analyses on a public health topic important to MCH populations as the foundation of their dissertation; (2) to educate doctoral students in current and emerging topics in MCH epidemiology, data collection, surveillance systems, advanced applied and quantitative analytic methods, and frameworks relevant to state and local MCH populations and programs; and (3) to strengthen the evidence base in MCH through publication of dissertation research in peer-reviewed journals.
