Cardiovasomobility Research Training Program

项目总结/摘要 这是一个新的T32应用程序，旨在建立一个创新的跨学科培训计划， 犹他州大学的流动性和心血管健康研究。流动性和心血管健康是 密不可分，因此，血管运动研究培训计划（CRTP）将提供研究 在这两个重要的健康决定因素的界面上进行培训，并增加我们对它们的理解。 交互. CRTP将是一个全面的，跨学科的，从板凳到床边的培训计划， 犹他州大学在身体机能和心血管医学领域的现有优势。的 28名参与培训计划的教师导师都是有成就的研究人员， 建立研究基金和指导经验。教师来自内部部门 医学、放射学、营养学和综合生理学、物理治疗、机械和生物工程， 和分子医学计划;并代表许多学科，包括运动生理学，老年医学， 医学、心脏病学、分子生物学、代谢、成像和物理治疗。因此，CRTP将跨越 心血管健康和流动性研究的转化谱，这将提供一个独特的机会， 让这个项目的受训者分析和整合这些重要的健康决定因素。 CRTP有四个具体目标：1）为以下领域的研究培训提供行政结构和监督 心血管功能; 2）提供针对受训者的职业发展，包括全面的培训 在整合流动性和心血管健康研究的指导; 3）评估方案 4）招募和支持不同性别和种族的受训人员 混合物.该计划要求支持2名博士前和3名博士后（MD或PhD）培训生 岗位博士前实习生将从营养和综合研究生课程中招募 生理学，康复科学，MD/PhD和生物科学博士课程。MD博士后学员将 将主要从临床奖学金计划和博士博士后学员将从招募 申请加入参与教师导师的研究计划的个人。培训计划将是 由两位经验丰富的研究人员--一位运动生理学家和一位老年病学家--领导， 为该方案的医生和非医生受训者提供全面和适当的支持。他们将 由一群杰出的承诺和经验丰富的同事谁将作为该计划的支持 执行委员会。将成立一个外部咨询委员会， 审查.犹他州大学正准备对培养下一代研究人员的需求做出回应 研究人员在流动性和心血管健康的整合， 跨学科CRTP。

Project Summary/Abstract This is a new T32 application to establish an innovative, interdisciplinary training program aimed at integrating mobility and cardiovascular health research at the University of Utah. Mobility and cardiovascular health are inextricably linked and hence the Cardiovasomobility Research Training Program (CRTP) will provide research training at the interface of these two important determinants of health and add to our understanding of their interactions. CRTP will be a comprehensive, interdisciplinary, bench-to-bedside training program building upon existing strengths at the University of Utah in the fields of physical function and cardiovascular medicine. The 28 participating faculty mentors selected for this training program are accomplished investigators with established research funding and mentoring experience. Faculty hail from the Departments of Internal Medicine, Radiology, Nutrition and Integrative Physiology, Physical Therapy, Mechanical and Bio-Engineering, and the Molecular Medicine Program; and represent many disciplines including exercise physiology, geriatric medicine, cardiology, molecular biology, metabolism, imaging, and physical therapy. Thus, the CRTP will span the translational spectrum of cardiovascular health and mobility research that will provide a unique opportunity for the program’s trainees to both parse out and integrate these important determinants of health. The CRTP has four Specific Aims: 1) To provide administrative structure and oversight for research training in cardiovasomobility; 2) To provide trainee-specific career development that includes comprehensive training and mentorship in the integration of mobility and cardiovascular health research; 3) To evaluate programmatic outcomes; and 4) To recruit and support a diverse group of trainees with respect to gender and racial composition. The program requests support for 2 Pre-Doctoral and 3 Post-Doctoral (MD or PhD) trainee positions. Pre-Doctoral trainees will be recruited from the graduate programs in Nutrition and Integrative Physiology, Rehabilitation Science, MD/PhD, and Bioscience PhD Programs. MD Post-Doctoral trainees will be drawn largely from the clinical fellowship programs and PhD Post-Doctoral trainees will be recruited from individuals applying to join the research programs of participating faculty mentors. The training program will be led by two very experienced investigators – an exercise physiologist and a geriatrician – to ensure comprehensive and appropriate support of the program’s physician and non-physician trainees. They will be supported by an outstanding group of committed and experienced colleagues who will serve as the program’s Executive Committee. An External Advisory Committee will be formed to provide additional programmatic review. The University of Utah is poised to respond to the need to train the next generation of research investigators in the integration of mobility and cardiovascular health by offering this comprehensive, interdisciplinary CRTP.
