PROJECT SUMMARY The objective of the Multi-Disciplinary Training Program in the Mechanisms of Cardio-metabolic Disease is to provide pre-doctoral scholars with balanced, interdisciplinary training for a successful research career in integrative cardiovascular research related to minority health. The focus of this training will be on mechanisms of cardiovascular disease in compromised metabolic and endocrine states. An emphasis in this program is cardio-metabolic disease common in minorities – hypertension, obesity, and diabetes. The specific goals are: 1) To train the next generation basic and translational scientists in cardiovascular pathophysiology, especially in states of metabolic dysfunction directly relevant to health problems of minorities, through course work and state- of-the-art research opportunities; 2) To provide pre-doctoral students with the necessary tools for effective scientific communication, including networking, grant writing, and formal training in responsible conduct of research (RCR) to build a competent and ethical research careers; and 3) Actively recruit and train minority candidates in cardio-metabolic disease research, in part, by leveraging our established connections with historically black colleges through our prior trainees. These goals will be achieved through the highly integrated research programs within the Medical College of Georgia (MCG) at Augusta University. MCG-AU has established itself as a leading national center for basic and clinical science research in cardiovascular disease. Mentors in the Program come from a variety of basic and clinical research units, including the Departments of Physiology, Pharmacology & Toxicology, and Cell Biology & Anatomy, Medicine and Pediatrics, including members of Nephrology, Cardiology, Hematology and Anesthesiology sections. Major interdisciplinary research units, the Vascular Biology Center (basic science) and the Georgia Prevention Institute are also prominent in the program. The goal of Program Leadership is to provide expert oversight characterized by excellence in research, commitment to training and leadership experience both internal and external to the institution. A shared governance model has been adopted that provides a mechanism of consensus leadership to keep the Program at the high level we expect for training at MCG-AU. Overall leadership is shared between two co-directors, Drs. David Stepp and Jennifer Sullivan. Internal Advisory and Admission Committees along with an External Advisory Committee provide an experienced team of leaders for the program. Pre-doctoral (PhD or MD/PhD) will be selected based on interest in cardiovascular biology, previous academic performance and research experience. All students will be required to participate in didactic coursework and a comprehensive set of professional skills courses including responsible conduct of research, effective scientific communication and networking, knowledge of technology transfer, scientific writing and review of the literature, preparation and presentations at local, national, and international conferences, grant writing and review, and leadership skills for subsequent career stages.

项目摘要 代谢性疾病机制多学科培训计划的目标是 为博士前学者提供均衡的跨学科培训，以实现成功的研究生涯， 与少数民族健康有关的综合心血管研究。培训的重点将是机制 在代谢和内分泌状态受损时的心血管疾病。本计划的重点是 是少数民族常见的心脏代谢疾病-高血压、肥胖和糖尿病。具体目标是： 1)培养心血管病理生理学的下一代基础和转化科学家，特别是 代谢功能障碍的状态直接关系到少数民族的健康问题，通过课程的工作和状态， 最先进的研究机会; 2）为博士前学生提供有效的必要工具 科学交流，包括建立网络、撰写赠款和负责任地进行科学研究的正式培训。 研究（RCR），以建立一个有能力和道德的研究事业;和3）积极招募和培训少数民族 在心脏代谢疾病研究的候选人，部分，通过利用我们建立的联系， 历史上的黑人大学通过我们以前的学员。这些目标将通过高度一体化的 奥古斯塔大学格鲁吉亚医学院（MCG）的研究项目。MCG-AU拥有 成为全国领先的心血管疾病基础和临床科学研究中心。 该计划的导师来自各种基础和临床研究单位，包括 生理学、药理学和毒理学、细胞生物学和解剖学、医学和儿科学，包括 肾脏科、心脏科、血液科和麻醉科的成员。主要跨学科研究 单位，血管生物学中心（基础科学）和格鲁吉亚预防研究所也是突出的， 程序.项目领导的目标是提供以卓越研究为特征的专家监督， 致力于机构内外的培训和领导经验。共享 已采用治理模式，提供共识领导机制以保持计划 在高水平，我们期望在MCG-AU的培训。总体领导由两位共同董事分享，博士。 大卫·斯戴普和詹妮弗·沙利文。内部咨询和招生委员会沿着与外部咨询 委员会为该计划提供了一个经验丰富的领导团队。博士预科（PhD或MD/PhD） 根据对心血管生物学的兴趣，以前的学术表现和研究经验进行选择。 所有的学生将被要求参加教学课程和一套全面的专业技能 课程包括负责任的研究行为，有效的科学交流和网络， 技术转让知识、科学写作和文献审查、准备和演讲， 地方，国家和国际会议，赠款写作和审查，以及随后的领导技能 职业阶段。
