Over the past two decades, Maine Medical Center Research Institute, a component of MaineHealth, has built a highly competitive research program encompassing basic, translational, clinical, and health services research to support and enhance the healthcare needs of the state of Maine. Our focus on developing basic biomedical research to support translational programs has been supported by the formation of Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (2000-present), and in 2017, a multi-institute Northern New England Clinical and Translational Research Network to establish infrastructure required for extending clinical research efforts. We have maintained a focus on medical training programs, with prominent academic affiliations with Tufts University School of Medicine, with 40 of their medical students in a Maine Track program and 20 ongoing residency and fellowship programs. Of note, recent expansions in graduate medical education include the addition of a Rural Track in our Internal Medicine residency, and an enhanced focus on research as part of residency and fellowships. These efforts have been bolstered by institutional investments to support medical students and physicians in expanded options for research, and the alignment of research mentors with these commitments. Research and clinical strengths at Maine Medical Center include topics of high relevance to the mission of the NHLBI, including vessel wall biology, vascular development, myocardial injury, heart failure, vascular progenitor cells, vascular inflammation, adipose/vascular interactions, endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular disease; and clinical research addressing cardiac arrest, cystic fibrosis, hemorrhagic shock, vascular complications of trauma, and genetics/epidemiology of disease. This proposal requests the needed support to fulfill the objective of the NHLBI to develop the biomedical research workforce focusing on a unique population of medical students in Maine. This proposal requests funds to focus on providing rigorous, full-time summer research training experiences for Maine Track medical students. While some of those students may already have an interest in research, this new program will broaden our educational scope to include translational biomedical research. Currently, all Maine Track students are required to complete a scholarly project as part of their medical training, and we have an established infrastructure to support research experiences in the summer after the first year of study. Our vision is to enhance this pipeline to increase our community of rigorously trained physicians who are comfortable working across the basic-translational-clinical research spectrum to promote public health. While this is a long-term and ambitious goal, it is even more pressing in an environment such as the rural state of Maine, which does not have a portfolio of large academic medical centers that attract a high number of medical students, residents or fellows interested in translational research. This proposal requests funding for ten short-term summer experiences for medical students in the Tufts Maine Track with experienced mentors committed to promotion of mentorship and training.

在过去的二十年中，MaineHealth的缅因州医学中心研究所 高度竞争性的研究计划包括基本，转化，临床和卫生服务研究 支持和增强缅因州的医疗保健需求。我们专注于开发基本生物医学 支持翻译计划的研究得到了生物医学中心的形成支持 卓越研究（2000年至今），以及2017年，新英格兰北部的多工具 转化研究网络建立扩展临床研究工作所需的基础设施。我们 一直关注医学培训计划，并具有簇绒的重要学术隶属关系 大学医学院，有40名医学生在缅因州田径课程中，正在进行20个 居住和奖学金计划。值得注意的是，研究生医学教育的最新扩展包括 在我们的内科住院医师中增加农村轨道，并加强了对研究的关注 居住和奖学金。这些努力得到了机构投资的支持 学生和医生的研究选择方案，以及研究导师的一致性 承诺。缅因州医学中心的研究和临床优势包括与 NHLBI的任务，包括血管墙生物学，血管发育，心肌损伤，心力衰竭， 血管祖细胞，血管炎症，脂肪/血管相互作用，内皮功能障碍和 心血管疾病；以及针对心脏骤停，囊性纤维化，出血性休克的临床研究， 创伤的血管并发症，疾病的遗传学/流行病学。该建议要求需要 支持实现NHLBI的目标，以发展生物医学研究人员，专注于独特 缅因州的医学生人口。该建议要求资金专注于提供严格的全职 缅因州的夏季研究培训经验。虽然其中一些学生可能 这个新计划已经对研究感兴趣，将扩大我们的教育范围，以包括 翻译生物医学研究。目前，所有缅因州的田径学生都必须完成学术 作为他们的医学培训的一部分项目，我们拥有建立的基础设施来支持研究 学习第一年后的夏天的经验。我们的愿景是增强该管道以增加我们的 经过严格培训的医生社区，他们在基本翻译临床上工作很舒适 研究范围来促进公共卫生。虽然这是一个长期雄心勃勃的目标，但它甚至是 在缅因州农村国家等环境中施压，该环境没有大型学术的投资组合 吸引大量的医学生，居民或研究员感兴趣的医疗中心 研究。该提案要求为医学生的十项短期夏季经验提供资金 塔夫茨缅因州的轨道有经验丰富的导师，致力于促进指导和培训。
