PROJECT SUMMARY The successful sequencing of the human genome and the evolution of human health services research in the post-genomic era combined with startling advances in imaging technology have offered unprecedented opportunities to transform patient care in cardiovascular diseases. Over the past decade, Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM) has made major investments in biomedical research, as well as research training and infrastructure. WCM requests support for the research training of 4 clinical and non-clinical postdoctoral fellows in a new multidisciplinary research training program (MRTP) in Cardiovascular Disease, with WCM providing funding for an additional training slot. The objective is to recruit outstanding candidates with solid foundations in basic science and/or clinical research and train them to apply their knowledge and skills towards addressing important clinically unmet needs in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of patients with cardiovascular diseases. MRTP trainees will receive program support for 3 years during which they will follow a structured and rigorous postdoctoral training program. The MRTP will be a joint effort of 20 eminent preceptors from WCM, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) and the Rockefeller University (RU), which constitute a dense network of collaborative researchers, who are international leaders in fields directly relevant to cardiovascular physiology and disease. These preceptors have been organized into 2 themed, but interconnected units of research training: molecular and cell signaling and cardiovascular imaging. These training units will enable the development of content-specific educational programming, as well as increase the efficiency administration within the training program. Oversight will be provided by a Research Training Executive Committee consisting of the Program Director and two Associate Program Directors, who will also serve as leaders of the training units, as well as 3 additional members who will provide specific guidance on clinical/epidemiologic research, on achieving and maintaining diversity within the training program, and on mentoring. We have also assembled an outstanding roster of internal and external advisory board members with a mandate to evaluate the program and provide specific recommendations to improve both its quality and efficiency. The MRTP's highly personalized training program will include 1) individual development plans; 2) rigorous research training; 3) hands-on experience in cutting-edge methodologies; and 4) an integrated curriculum. Trainees will further benefit from the extensive institutional resources of WCM, MSKCC and RU. Based upon the levels of interest in our fellowship programs, we anticipate a substantial pool of highly qualified clinical and non-clinical candidates for the proposed MRTP, which will maintain a strong diversity focus. Through its rigorous, structured and highly personalized curriculum, this new training program seeks to train future leaders in cardiovascular disease research who are prepared to translate their findings towards improving patient care.

项目摘要 人类基因组的成功测序以及人类健康服务研究的演变 基因组时代结合了成像技术的惊人进步，提供了前所未有的 改变心血管疾病患者护理的机会。在过去的十年中，Weill Cornell Medicine （WCM）对生物医学研究以及研究培训和基础设施进行了重大投资。 WCM要求支持4个临床和非临床博士后研究员的研究培训 心血管疾病中的多学科研究培训计划（MRTP），WCM为 一个额外的培训插槽。目的是在基本的基础上招募以扎实的基础招募出色的候选人 科学和/或临床研究，并培训他们以应用其知识和技能来解决重要 心血管疾病患者的预防，诊断和治疗中临床上未满足的需求。 MRTP学员将获得计划支持3年，在此期间他们将遵循结构化和严格 博士后培训计划。 MRTP将是来自WCM的20个杰出受体的共同努力 斯隆·凯特林癌症中心（MSKCC）和洛克菲勒大学（RU），构成密集的网络 合作研究人员是与心血管生理直接相关的领域国际领导者 和疾病。这些受体已被组织为两个主题，但研究培训的相互联系单位： 分子和细胞信号传导以及心血管成像。这些培训单位将使 特定于内容的教育计划，并提高培训中的效率管理 程序。监督将由由该计划组成的研究培训执行委员会提供 董事和两名副计划主任，他们还将担任培训单位的领导者，以及3 其他成员将提供有关临床/流行病学研究，实现和 在培训计划和指导中保持多样性。我们还组装了一个杰出的 内部和外部顾问委员会成员的名单，授权评估该计划并提供 提高其质量和效率的具体建议。 MRTP的高度个性化培训 计划将包括1）个人发展计划； 2）严格的研究培训； 3）实践经验 尖端方法； 4）集成课程。学员将进一步受益于广泛的 WCM，MSKCC和RU的机构资源。根据我们的奖学金计划的兴趣水平， 我们预计拟议的MRTP的高度合格的临床和非临床候选者将有大量资金库， 这将保持强大的多样性重点。通过其严格，结构化和高度个性化的课程， 这个新的培训计划旨在培训未来的心血管疾病研究领导者 将他们的发现转化为改善患者护理。
