Project Summary This is an application for the first five-year renewal (years 6-10) of the Multidisciplinary Research Training to Reduce Inequalities in Cardiovascular Health (METRIC) T32 for predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows at Emory University. The goal of the METRIC T32 program is to train diverse candidates in the study of cardiovascular health inequalities broadly defined, based on factors such as race/ethnicity, sex/gender, socioeconomic status, geographical residence, healthcare access, and physical/mental disability, with a focus on the underlying biological, behavioral and environmental mechanisms. A distinguishing feature of our program is the utilization of a multidisciplinary approach to expose trainees to multiple methods and research areas, from epidemiology and biostatistics to behavioral and social sciences, biological sciences, and health policy and implementation. Each trainee has a primary mentor but works within a mentoring team with diverse expertise. A maximum of 5 predoctoral and 5 postdoctoral trainees will be in the program at any time point, each supported for an average of 3 years for predocs and 2 years for postdocs. Training will include multidisciplinary mentoring along with coursework, inter-departmental seminars, hands-on research, grant writing and career development. Our main source of predoctoral applicants will continue to be PhD students entering the School of Public Health's doctoral programs. Postdoctoral fellows will be MDs pursuing a research career in cardiovascular disease, or PhD graduates in epidemiology, nutrition, behavioral sciences, environmental sciences, health policy, or other relevant areas. Postdoctoral trainees will have the opportunity to obtain a MS in Clinical Research. In the past funding cycle all our training slots were filled, and we have utilized three supplementary diversity slots. The program shows a strong track record for successful training and career development, promoted by solid collaborations among the Rollins School of Public Health, the School of Medicine, the School of Nursing, and the Morehouse School of Medicine. Of all the fellows appointed, 50% are from underrepresented racial/ethnic minority groups. Our program responds to several emphasis areas for NHLBI T32 programs, including multidisciplinary training, collaborative research, diversity of trainees, quantitative sciences, and translation research, with strong emphasis on mentorship and career development. Addressing cardiovascular health inequities is a top priority of the strategic vision of the NHLBI's Division of Cardiovascular Sciences. The ultimate goal of this program is to prepare diverse individuals for leadership positions in biomedical and health care research in order to build capacity for research and translation to reduce inequalities in health and health care for cardiovascular disease.

项目摘要 这是第一份为期五年(6-10年)的多学科研究培训的申请，以 减少埃默里大学博士后和博士后的心血管健康不平等(公制)T32 大学。公制T32项目的目标是培训心血管研究的不同候选人 基于种族/族裔、性别/性别、社会经济地位、 地理居住地、医疗保健准入和身体/精神残疾，重点放在潜在的 生物、行为和环境机制。我们程序的一个显著特点是利用 采用多学科方法，使受训人员接触多种方法和研究领域，包括流行病学 以及生物统计学对行为和社会科学、生物科学以及卫生政策和实施的影响。 每个学员都有一名主要导师，但他们在一个拥有不同专业知识的指导团队中工作。最多5个 博士后和5名博士后实习生将在任何时间点参加该计划，每个人平均获得支持 博士后3年，博士后2年。培训将包括多学科指导以及 课程、跨部门研讨会、实践研究、补助金撰写和职业发展。我们的Main 博士前申请者将继续是进入公共卫生学院的博士生 博士课程。博士后研究员将成为从事心血管疾病研究事业的医学博士，或 流行病学、营养学、行为科学、环境科学、卫生政策或其他专业的博士毕业生 相关领域。博士后实习生将有机会获得临床研究硕士学位。在过去 资金循环我们所有的培训名额都被填满了，我们已经利用了三个补充的多样性名额。这个 该计划在Solid的推动下，在成功的培训和职业发展方面表现出了良好的记录 罗林斯公共卫生学院、医学院、护理学院和 莫尔豪斯医学院。在所有被任命的研究员中，50%来自代表性不足的种族/民族。 少数群体。我们的计划响应了NHLBI T32计划的几个重点领域，包括 多学科培训、协作研究、学员多样性、量化科学和翻译 研究，非常重视导师和职业发展。解决心血管健康问题 不平等是NHLBI心血管科学部战略愿景的重中之重。这个 该计划的最终目标是为生物医学和健康领域的领导职位培养多样化的个人。 护理研究，以建设研究和翻译能力，以减少健康和健康方面的不平等 对心血管疾病的护理。
