BackgroundMany young investigators are interested in cardiovascular（CV）outcomes research; however，the current training experience of early investigators across the UnitedStates is uncertain.MethodsFrom April to November 2014，we investigated mentees and mentors of early stage CV outcomes investigators across the United States.我们成功地联系了政府机构，专业组织的成员，并在CV成果培训programmes.ResultsA学员的受助人共185（662）和76（541）导师完成了调查。学员按性别平均分配;大多数人在完成调查前已完成培训3年以上，是临床医生。导师更可能是女性，大多数是培训后≥20年，并且是副教授/正教授级别。导师报告说，目前投入更多的时间在临床工作比当他们在他们的职业生涯和指导2-4人同时。超过80%的学员开始接受成为院士的培训，并以同样的目标完成培训。超过70%的学员希望在未来的工作中至少有50%的研究时间。超过80%的导师认为，未来的研究人员将需要超过50%的时间用于研究。大多数学员（80%）对他们与导师的关系感到满意，并报告有机会独立发展。导师比学员更经常地报告说，资金削减对学员的成功能力产生了负面影响（84%对58%）。在所有供资机制中，受指导者对获得资金比导师更乐观。学员和导师都报告了最大的准备工作/职业满意度（79%）和出版物（84%比92%）和准备未来的财务稳定（48%比46%）和工作与生活的平衡（47%比42%）。ConclusionsSurvey的结果可能会刺激未来的话语和研究如何最好地吸引，培训和留住年轻的研究人员在CV成果的研究。洞察力可以帮助改进现有的培训计划，并为新的培训计划的设计提供信息。
BackgroundMany young investigators are interested in cardiovascular (CV) outcomes research; however, the current training experience of early investigators across the United States is uncertain.MethodsFrom April to November 2014, we surveyed mentees and mentors of early-stage CV outcomes investigators across the United States. We contacted successful grantees of government agencies, members of professional organizations, and trainees in CV outcomes training programs.ResultsA total of 185 (of 662) mentees and 76 (of 541) mentors completed the survey. Mentees were equally split by sex; most had completed training >3 years before completing the survey and were clinicians. Mentors were more likely women, mostly ≥20 years posttraining, and at an associate/full professor rank. Mentors reported devoting more time currently to clinical work than when they were early in their career and mentoring 2-4 people simultaneously. More than 80% of mentees started training to become academicians and completed training with the same goal. More than 70% of mentees desired at least 50% research time in future jobs. More than 80% of mentors believed that future investigators would need more than 50% time dedicated to research. Most mentees (80%) were satisfied with their relationship with their mentor and reported having had opportunities to develop independently. Mentors more frequently than mentees reported that funding cutbacks had negatively affected mentees' ability to succeed (84% vs 58%). Across funding mechanisms, mentees were more optimistic than mentors about securing funding. Both mentees and mentors reported greatest preparedness for job/career satisfaction (79% for both) and publications (84% vs 92%) and least preparedness for future financial stability (48% vs 46%) and work-life balance (47% vs 42%).ConclusionsSurvey findings may stimulate future discourse and research on how best to attract, train, and retain young investigators in CV outcomes research. Insights may help improve existing training programs and inform the design of new ones.
