DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this Multidisciplinary Vascular Surgery Training Program is to strengthen basic and translational research in vascular disease by recruiting and training in a collaborative environment, residents destined to become vascular surgeons as well as PhD scientists who have an interest in vascular biology. We have created a two or three-year interdisciplinary training program, which consists of didactic courses, hands-on research and team mentoring, where trainees will attain the necessary competencies and breadth of expertise required to develop academic careers in the field of cardiovascular research. In particular, this program emphasizes an integration of basic science, translational research and clinical care. We believe this program, with its dynamic curriculum and aggressive recruitment plan, will attract highly qualified candidates particularly women and underrepresented minorities. Research training will be accomplished through five integrated activities: (1) preceptor-directed laboratory research, (2) required core curriculum, (3) structured interactive seminars and journal club, (4) group-based and individualized coaching on grant writing and other career skills, and (5) regional and national scientific conferences. The Program Director and core mentors all have active and funded laboratories. In addition to their broad expertise and accomplishments in cardiovascular research, these individuals are advocates of education and mentoring and all have extensive training records. Two administrative bodies, the Internal Executive Committee and the External Advisory Committee, both composed of outstanding mentors and scientists, have been created to ensure success of the program as well as its trainees. The primary research training facility is Weill Cornell Medical College at New York Presbyterian Hospital. Investigators have also been recruited from the tri-institutional program associated with Cornell, which includes Rockefeller University and Memorial Sloan Kettering Institute as well as the Columbia campus of New York Presbyterian Hospital. This multidisciplinary team of investigator and the collaborative program that that they have created has the potential to train future productive investigators in expanding arena of vascular research.

描述(由申请人提供)： 这一多学科血管外科培训计划的目的是通过在协作环境中招募和培训注定要成为血管外科医生的住院医生以及对血管生物学感兴趣的博士科学家来加强血管疾病的基础和转化性研究。我们创建了一个为期两到三年的跨学科培训计划，包括授课课程、实践研究和团队指导，受训人员将获得在心血管研究领域发展学术生涯所需的必要能力和专业知识广度。该计划特别强调基础科学、转化性研究和临床护理的整合。我们相信，这个项目凭借其充满活力的课程和积极的招聘计划，将吸引高素质的候选人，特别是女性和代表性不足的少数族裔。研究培训将通过五项综合活动完成：(1)导师指导的实验室研究；(2)所需的核心课程；(3)有条理的互动研讨会和期刊俱乐部；(4)关于赠款撰写和其他职业技能的小组和个性化辅导；以及(5)区域和国家科学会议。项目主任和核心导师都有活跃的和有资金支持的实验室。除了他们在心血管研究方面的广泛专业知识和成就外，这些人还是教育和指导的倡导者，都有广泛的培训记录。设立了两个行政机构，即内部执行委员会和外部咨询委员会，这两个机构都由杰出的导师和科学家组成，以确保方案及其学员的成功。主要的研究培训机构是纽约长老会医院的威尔·康奈尔医学院。调查人员还从与康奈尔大学有关的三个机构项目中招募，其中包括洛克菲勒大学、纪念斯隆·凯特琳研究所以及纽约长老会医院哥伦比亚校区。这个由研究人员组成的多学科团队和他们创建的合作项目有可能在扩大血管研究领域方面培训未来的多产研究人员。(摘要结束)
