Abstract

This training program prepares pre-doctoral fellows for careers in childhood obesity prevention through transdisciplinary coursework, research, and internships. This program includes four programmatic areas: Nutritional Sciences, Child Development and Family Studies, Prevention and Intervention, and Research Methodology and Statistics. Evaluation is accomplished through the following: yearly External Advisory meetings, program evaluation from trainees, ongoing publications and professional accomplishments of trainees, and biweekly meetings of key personnel. Ten fellows have produced 38 presentations and 4 publications in the first 3 years of the program. We added 3 more fellows as of January 2014.
