US Ten Day Seminar on the Epidemiology and Prevention of CVD and Stroke

这项提案请求赞助一年一度的美国流行病学和预防十天研讨会 心血管疾病和中风。考虑到心血管疾病(CVD)和中风的负担， 适合就这一主题开展专业培训。这项提案的目标与目标是一致的 以及NHLBI战略愿景中概述的目标，该战略愿景寻求“进一步发展、多样化和维持 有能力完成NHLBI任务的科学队伍。培训这样一支队伍是一个关键因素 我国准备好应对心血管疾病带来的健康挑战，并准备推进多项 促进心血管健康的组成部分战略(CVH)。一支有准备的劳动力需要研究 流行病学和生物统计学、健康的社会决定因素以及政策和环境方面的能力 促进健康和预防疾病的方法。此外，权威的卫生机构和著名的 科学家们注意到，越来越有必要培训专业人员，以了解与电子队列相关的方法， 大型实用临床试验、传播和实施研究、大数据分析。科学家们将 还需要在成本效益研究、遗传学、表观遗传学和生物医学信息学方面的专业知识。这 研讨会可以为培训能够综合所有这些领域的证据的科学家做出独特的贡献 将研究成果转化为有效和有影响力的政策和实践。我们寻求联合赞助。 国家心肺血液研究所(NHLBI)、疾病预防办公室和行为办公室 和社会科学研究。研讨会的其他资助者/合作伙伴是疾病控制中心和 预防(赠款)和美国心脏协会(实物)。 为确保研讨会成功举行，我们会做以下工作： 1.我们将继续吸引一支既懂相关内容又懂个人教学的教师队伍 有效实施这一计划所需的技能，继续强调招聘 来自代表性不足的种族/族裔群体的教职员工(目前占教职员工的31%)和女性教职员工 (目前占教师总数的56%)； 2.我们将继续调整课程内容，以保持其与国家培训需求的相关性 具有适当职业兴趣的卫生专业人员，同时保持一致的中心重点 心血管疾病流行病学的基本方法； 3.我们将继续将有关该计划的信息传播给适当的群体，使用最有效的 目前的战略是接触代表性不足的种族/族裔群体、女性候选人和历史上 边缘化群体；以及 4.我们将继续通过AHA科学理事会、过去的参与者、 可能从代表性不足的群体中确定候选人的组织，以及其他手段。

This proposal requests sponsorship for the annual U.S. Ten-Day Seminar on the Epidemiology and Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease and Stroke. Given the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke, it is highly appropriate to conduct professional training on this topic. The goals of this proposal are consistent with the goals and objectives outlined in the NHLBI’s Strategic Vision which seeks to “further develop, diversify, and sustain a scientific workforce capable of accomplishing the NHLBI’s mission.” Training of such a workforce is a key element of our country’s readiness to address the health challenges posed by CVD and the readiness to advance multi- component strategies that promote cardiovascular health (CVH). A prepared workforce will need research competencies in epidemiology and biostatistics, social determinants of health, and policy and environmental approaches to health promotion and disease prevention. Further, authoritative health agencies and prominent scientists have noted an increasing need for training professionals to understand methods related to e-cohorts, large practical clinical trials, dissemination and implementation research, and big data analytics. Scientists will also need expertise in cost-effectiveness research, genetics, epigenetics, and biomedical informatics. This Seminar can uniquely contribute to training scientists who can integrate evidence across all of these fields and translate research findings into effective and impactful policy and practice. We seek joint sponsorship from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the Office of Disease Prevention, and the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research. Other funders/partners for the Seminar are the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (grant), and the American Heart Association (in-kind). We will do the following to assure the successful conduct of the Seminar: 1. We will continue to attract a faculty with both the knowledge of relevant content and the personal teaching skills required for the effective conduct of this program, with a continuing emphasis on the recruitment of faculty from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups (currently 31% of the faculty) and female faculty members (currently 56% of the faculty); 2. We will continue to adapt program content to maintain its relevance to the training needs of the nation for health professionals with appropriate career interests, while maintaining a consistent central focus on the foundational methods in cardiovascular disease epidemiology; 3. We will continue to disseminate information about this program to appropriate groups, using the most effective current strategies for reaching underrepresented racial/ethnic groups, female candidates and historically marginalized groups; and 4. We will continue to broaden the recruitment of participants through AHA Scientific Councils, past participants, organizations likely to identify candidates from underrepresented groups, and other means.
