描述（由申请人提供）： 心血管疾病仍然是我们社会的头号健康问题。 因此，了解心血管疾病的病理生理 在分子和细胞水平上的过程，将这些见解转化为 通过综合生理学研究进行临床实践，以及 制定适当的方法，为我们的 通过转化研究的人口仍然很高。这种多学科 因此，心血管疾病的研究培训计划 培养优秀医学博士的主要目标。调查人员以及 动机医学博士/博士和博士科学家，从事调查工作， 医学院或大学教师。为了实现这一目标， 多学科研究培训计划由四个 基本组成部分。第一部分包括两个平行的研究 培训小册子，一个用于基础研究，一个用于转化研究。这些 平行的研究培训小册子主要集中在以下领域： 动脉粥样硬化、血栓形成和血管生物学;心肌 发育、肌细胞性能和肥大;信号转导;以及 翻译研究第二部分包括一个高度发达的教学 可以为每个学员个性化的课程，无论 无论他们选择进行严格的基础研究还是翻译研究。 第三部分包括共同的教学课程内容，例如： 研究会议和研讨会、期刊俱乐部和实习生协会。 这些课程内容提供了一种机制， 所有受训人员都有共同的不足之处，包括：研究设计和 复杂的统计方法，发展写作和口语技能; 重要的是，培养写作能力。实现这些 重要的教育目标，组成部分四是承诺， 教师导师由于这种多学科（原文如此）的性质， 研究培训计划，教师导师已经形成了一个相互共享的 导师制理念，代表了对个人的坚定承诺 每个学员的成功，无论他们的重点是基础还是翻译 research.因为这是一个重要的时间承诺，每个教师 导师承诺，不仅为学员提供教育， 实验室;而且这个研究培训计划的共同要素。 总的来说，这个多学科心血管研究培训计划 因此，旨在提供丰富，严格和多样化的教育 经验，导致获得所有必要的技能，每个 学员，无论他们以前的研究经验，花一个 富有成效和成功的一生在研究，并最终承担他们的 作为医学院或大学教员的一员。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Cardiovascular disease remains the number one health problem in our society. Therefore, understanding the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease processes at the molecular and cellular level, translating these insights into clinical practice through integrative physiologic investigation, and developing the appropriate approaches for delivering healthcare to our population through translational research remain high. This multidisciplinary research training program in cardiovascular disease has, therefore, the principal goal of training outstanding M.D. investigators, as well as highly motivated M.D./Ph.D. and Ph.D. scientists, for investigative careers as Medical School or University faculty. To achieve this goal, this multidisciplinary research training program is constructed with four fundamental components. Component one consists of two parallel research training tracts, one for basic and one for translational research. These parallel research training tracts have been focused principally in the areas of atherosclerosis, thrombosis, and vascular biology; cardiac muscle development, myocyte performance, and hypertrophy; signal transduction; and translational research. Component two consists of a highly developed didactic curriculum that can be individualized for each trainee, irrespective of whether they choose to pursue rigorous basic or translational investigation. Component three consists of common, didactic curricular elements, e.g. research conferences and seminars, a journal club, and a trainee association. These curricular elements provide a mechanism to address those educational deficiencies that all trainees have in common, including: research design and complex statistical methods, developing writing and speaking skills; and, most importantly, developing grant writing capabilities. To achieve these important educational objectives, component four is the commitment of the faculty mentors. Because of the multidisciplined (sic) nature of this research training program, the faculty mentors have forged a mutually shared mentorship philosophy, which represents a strong commitment to the individual success of each trainee, irrespective of their focus in basic or translational research. Because this represents an important time commitment, each faculty mentor has committed to, not just providing education to a trainee in their laboratory; but also to the common elements of this research training program. In aggregate, this multidisciplinary cardiovascular research training program is, therefore, designed to provide a rich, rigorous and varied educational experience leading to the acquisition of all the requisite skills by each trainee, irrespective of their prior research experience, to spend a productive and successful lifetime in research and, ultimately, assume their role as a member of a Medical School or University faculty.
