DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is for a new multidisciplinary pre-doctoral training grant in integrative cardiovascular biology at the Medical College of Georgia (MCG). The long-term objective of this program is to train predoctoral Ph.D. and M.D./Ph.D. students for independent research careers in integrative cardiovascular biology, utilizing molecular, genetic, cellular, tissue/organ, whole animal and human experimental approaches. This program involves the expertise of over 20 faculty in the Departments of Celt Biology & Anatomy, Medicine, Pathology, Pediatrics, Pharmacology & Toxicology, Physiology, Surgery. A majority of these faculty also have appointment or affiliations with the Georgia Prevention Institute, the Institute for Molecular Medicine and Genetics, the Vascular Biology Center, and the Center for Biotechnology and Genomic Medicine on the MCG campus. The faculty preceptors of the program represent an outstanding group of established integrative cardiac and vascular biologists whose research interests cover five related cardiovascular areas: 1) vascular cell signaling, 2) control of vascular tone, 3) cardiac development, 4) endothelial dysfunction, and 5) prevention of cardiovascular disease. This training grant will be administered through the Vascular Biology Center in the School of Medicine. The program is directed by Dr. David M. Pollock, Program Director and Dr. Jennifer S. Pollock, Program Co-Director, both established investigators. Dr. D. Pollock is an Associate Professor in the Departments of Surgery, Physiology, and Pharmacology & Toxicology, a member of the Vascular Biology Center, and the Chair of the Curriculum and Advancement Committee in the School of Graduate Studies. Dr. J. Pollock is an Associate Professor in the Departments of Pharmacology & Toxicology and Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, a member of the Vascular Biology Center, and Director of the Vascular Biology Graduate Program in the School of Graduate Studies. An Internal Advisory Committee of experienced leaders of the graduate program at the Medical College of Georgia wilt supervise the program. Trainees will be Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. graduate students currently enrolled full-time in the Biomedical Sciences Ph.D. program in the Medical College of Georgia School of Graduate Studies. Students will be selected based on their expressed interest in integrative cardiovascular biology and their previous academic performance and research experience. The training program will include two pre-doctoral students in the first year with an additional two students being added in both the second and third years for a maximum of six students for years three through five. All trainees will be required to participate in didactic training activities, which consist of the first year core curriculum and passing the first qualifying exam; an advanced course electives including Cardiovascular Physiology & Pharmacology; courses in Scientific Communications and Research Ethics, and Biostatistics; attendance in one or more departmental seminar series; the cardiovascular journal club; and the annual Graduate Research Day activities. The Assistant Dean for Recruitment will lead an effort to increase the number of underrepresented minorities and women who receive training in cardiovascular research. Facilities for research training include the individual laboratories of the preceptors, and the core laboratories of the participating department, centers, and institutes, as well the outstanding institutional Core Facilities in Biotelemetry, Molecular Biology, Histology, Transgenic Analysis, Transgenic and Embryonic Stem Cell, Flow Cytometry and Celt Imaging, encompassing in excess of 100,000 sq.ft, of research space in three contiguous buildings. Upon completion of the program, students will be ready to pursue post-doctoral training at premier laboratories as they begin their careers as independent investigators in cardiovascular sciences.

描述（由申请人提供）： 此应用程序是一个新的多学科的综合心血管生物学博士前培训补助金在格鲁吉亚医学院（MCG）。 该项目的长期目标是培养博士预科博士。M.D.博士学生在综合心血管生物学的独立研究生涯，利用分子，遗传，细胞，组织/器官，整个动物和人类实验方法。 该计划涉及凯尔特生物学与解剖学，医学，病理学，儿科学，药理学与毒理学，生理学，外科学等部门的20多名教师的专业知识。 这些教师中的大多数也有任命或隶属于格鲁吉亚预防研究所，分子医学和遗传学研究所，血管生物学中心，以及生物技术和基因组医学中心的MCG校园。 该项目的教师代表了一群杰出的综合心脏和血管生物学家，他们的研究兴趣涵盖五个相关的心血管领域：1）血管细胞信号传导，2）血管张力控制，3）心脏发育，4）内皮功能障碍，和5）预防心血管疾病。 这项培训补助金将通过医学院血管生物学中心管理。 该项目由大卫M博士指导。波洛克，项目主任和博士詹妮弗S。波洛克，项目联合主任，都成立了调查员。 Dr. D.波洛克是外科，生理学，药理学和毒理学系的副教授，血管生物学中心的成员，以及研究生院课程和进步委员会的主席。 J. Pollock博士是药理学与毒理学系和生物化学与分子生物学系的副教授，血管生物学中心的成员，以及研究生院血管生物学研究生课程的主任。 一个由格鲁吉亚医学院研究生项目经验丰富的领导人组成的内部咨询委员会将监督该项目。 学员将获得博士学位。或医学博士/博士研究生目前就读于生物医学科学博士全日制。在格鲁吉亚医学院研究生院的计划。 学生将根据他们对综合心血管生物学的兴趣以及他们以前的学习成绩和研究经验进行选择。 该培训计划将包括两名博士前的学生在第一年与额外的两名学生被添加在第二年和第三年最多六名学生的第三年通过五。 所有学员将被要求参加教学培训活动，其中包括第一年的核心课程和通过第一次资格考试;高级课程选修课，包括心血管生理学和药理学;科学传播和研究伦理学课程，生物统计学;参加一个或多个部门的系列研讨会;心血管杂志俱乐部;和年度研究生研究日活动。 负责招聘的助理院长将努力增加接受心血管研究培训的代表性不足的少数民族和妇女的人数。 研究培训设施包括导师的个人实验室，以及参与部门，中心和研究所的核心实验室，以及生物遥测，分子生物学，组织学，转基因分析，转基因和胚胎干细胞，流式细胞术和细胞成像方面的杰出机构核心设施，占地超过100，000平方英尺，在三栋相邻的大楼里进行研究 完成该计划后，学生将准备在一流的实验室进行博士后培训，因为他们开始作为心血管科学独立研究者的职业生涯。
