描述 （摘自申请人摘要）这是一项旨在加强和 加强莫尔豪斯学校的心血管相关研究活动 医学（MSM）通过招募一个既定的心血管 科学家 这位科学家将在赠款的第一阶段招募， 在第二阶段成为该补助金的主要研究者。 是 预计，招募的科学家将促进建立一个强大的 心血管研究计划在男男性接触者，更集中的方向， 现有的基础、临床和行为研究。 一个预期的结果， 这一举措是建立讲习班/讨论小组和基金， 试点研究，促进跨学科的合作研究在男男性接触者。 作为这一奋进结果的智力交流不仅有利于 现有的MSM调查人员，但它也将吸引高素质的毕业生 学生和博士后研究员谁有兴趣追求职业生涯， 心血管研究 为此，努力制定一项 心血管研究培训计划（与前和博士后 培训生）在男男性接触者应该在招聘的科学家下取得成果。 的 第一阶段的具体目标是：1）组织外部咨询 委员会，2）确定并招募已建立的心血管研究 科学家，3）制定第二阶段的详细计划，以及4）提交一份 第二阶段计划的申请由NHLBI批准。 的各项目标 将制定的第二阶段计划应包括以下内容：1） 发展一批关键的教师，他们将提供多学科的 进行CVD相关基础、临床和行为研究的方法; 2)发展进行临床研究的基础设施 心血管相关疾病; 3）培养少数民族大学生，医学 学生和博士后候选人的水平，他们可能成为 心血管相关疾病的成功生物医学研究人员; 4） 加强现有的CVD相关基础研究能力， 促进内部基础临床和外部合作研究工作。 简而言之，这种心血管主动性将有助于形成一种 研究CVD相关疾病的研究人员的临界质量。 这样的 创新发展将代表NHLBI资源的有效利用 最终产品是竞争性融资。

DESCRIPTION (Adapted from the applicant's abstract) This is a proposal to strengthen and enhance the cardiovascular-related research activities at Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) through the recruitment of an established cardiovascular scientist. This scientist will be recruited in Phase I of the grant and become the principal investigator of this grant during Phase II. It is expected that the recruited scientist will foster the building of a strong cardiovascular research program at MSM, with a more focused direction to existing basic, clinical, and behavioral research. An expected outcome from this initiative is to establish workshop/discussion groups and funds for pilot studies that foster interdisciplinary collaborative research at MSM. The intellectual exchange as a result of this endeavor will not only benefit existing MSM investigators, but it will also attract high-caliber graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who are interested in pursuing a career in cardiovascular research. To this end, the effort to develop a cardiovascular research training program (with pre- and postdoctoral trainees) at MSM should come to fruition under the recruited scientist. The specific objectives of Phase I are to: 1) organize an External Advisory Committee, 2) identify and recruit an established cardiovascular research scientist, 3) develop a detailed plan for Phase II, and 4) submit an application of the Phase II plan for approval by NHLBI. The objectives that will be developed for the Phase II plan should include the following: 1) develop a critical mass of faculty who would provide a multidisciplinary approach to conduct basic, clinical, and behavioral research related to CVD; 2) develop the infrastructure for carrying out clinical research in cardiovascular-related disorders; 3) train minority undergraduates, medical students, and postdoctoral candidates to a level that they may become successful biomedical researchers in cardiovascular-related disorders; 4) strengthen the existing basic CVD-related research capabilities in order to foster internal basic-clinical and external collaborative research efforts. In short, this cardiovascular initiative will facilitate the formation of a critical mass of research personnel exploring CVD-related disease. Such an innovative development will represent an efficient use of NHLBI resources with the end product being competitive funding.
