DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an application to the NIBIB for a "broad-based" post-doctoral training program in cardiovascular imaging. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the US, yet there are unmet needs in detecting and characterizing CVD and monitoring/guiding therapy. There are now a multitude of CV imaging technologies and disciplines involved in CV research, from the molecular to clinical level, requiring a future generation of CV imaging researchers to have multi-disciplinary training. Aim: Provide a multi-disciplinary training program in CV imaging by bringing together trainees and mentors from three core yet complementary areas - engineering, molecular imaging, and clinical imaging - for a structured two-year educational and research program. Trainees: Post-doctoral fellows with either MD or PhD backgrounds from all three of the above areas. Four per year for the first 2 years followed by 6 per year. The goal is to have a balance between MD and PhD trainees and to have them train together over the two-year period. Mentors: There are 16 Stanford faculty mentors who are engaged in technology-based imaging research, with half MD and half PhD and both School of Medicine and School of Engineering well represented, including CV Medicine, Radiology/Radiological Sciences, Electrical Engineering/Bioengineering, and the Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford (MIPS). Training Program: Research - two years of research in CV imaging under a primary mentor with a secondary mentor from a complementary discipline (e.g., MD to complement PhD). Education - Structured program consisting of courses and seminars in 1) Multi-Modality Cardiovascular Imaging, 2) Multi-Disciplinary Innovation, 3) Translational Cardiovascular Imaging, and 4) Research Career Development. Collaboration - A critical component is fostering collaborative multi-disciplnary research via team-based activities to develop ideas and solutions for unmet CV imaging needs. Environment: Stanford has a strong environment of innovation and technology-based cardiovascular imaging research, with NIH-funded programs and facilities in CV Medicine, Radiology/Lucas Center, Electrical Engineering, Bioengineering, and Molecular Imaging. Relevance: Heart disease remains the most serious medical problem in the US, with imaging a critical method to detect disease. However, imaging technology has become more sophisticated and complex. This program is designed to train a new generation of cardiovascular imaging researchers who can excel in this multi-disciplinary area by bringing together trainees from both engineering and medicine for advanced research and education

描述(由申请者提供)：这是一份向NIBIB申请的心血管成像博士后培训计划。心血管疾病(CVD)仍然是美国发病率和死亡率的主要原因，但在检测和表征CVD以及监测/指导治疗方面仍有未得到满足的需求。目前，从分子到临床层面的心血管成像研究涉及到多种心血管成像技术和学科，这就需要下一代心血管成像研究人员接受多学科的培训。目的：通过汇集来自工程、分子成像和临床成像这三个核心但互为补充的领域的学员和导师，为为期两年的有组织的教育和研究计划提供一个多学科的心血管成像培训计划。实习生：具有上述三个领域医学博士或博士学位背景的博士后研究员。头两年每年四次，之后每年六次。目标是在医学博士和博士实习生之间取得平衡，并让他们在两年的时间里一起接受培训。 导师：斯坦福大学有16名教师导师从事基于技术的成像研究，其中一半是医学博士，一半是博士，医学院和工程学院都有很好的代表，包括CV医学、放射学/放射科学、电气工程/生物工程和斯坦福大学的分子成像项目(MIPS)。 培训计划：研究-在初级导师的指导下进行为期两年的简历成像研究 来自互补学科的二级导师(例如，医学博士补充博士学位)。由1)多模式心血管成像、2)多学科创新、3)翻译心血管成像和4)研究职业发展方面的课程和研讨会组成的教育结构课程。协作-一个关键的组成部分是通过基于团队的活动促进协作的多学科研究，以针对未得到满足的CV成像需求开发想法和解决方案。 环境：斯坦福拥有强大的创新和以科技为基础的心血管环境 影像研究，与美国国立卫生研究院资助的项目和设施在CV医学，放射学/卢卡斯中心， 电气工程、生物工程和分子成像。 相关性：心脏病仍然是美国最严重的医疗问题，成像是关键 检测疾病的方法。然而，成像技术已经变得更加复杂和复杂。该项目旨在培养能够在这一多学科领域出类拔萃的新一代心血管成像研究人员，将来自工程学和医学的受训人员聚集在一起，进行高级研究和教育。
