MSM Interdisciplinary Sleep/Clinical Cardiovascular Research Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：该培训计划的总体目标是吸引和培训有才华的代表性不足的少数民族博士预科生到男男性接触者，并为他们在临床和转化研究（CTR）中寻求独立的研究职业机会做好准备，从而增加追求临床心血管疾病和睡眠障碍相关CTR的高技能研究人员的数量。以下目标将推动该计划的总体目标：目标1：制定一个多学科的临床心血管和睡眠障碍研究培训计划，将招募URM候选人在ACTSI及其合作机构（MSM，埃默里和格鲁吉亚技术）。我们将针对对心血管和睡眠障碍研究感兴趣的博士研究生，在MSM MSCR计划的博士/MSCR轨道中注册，并针对对心血管和睡眠障碍研究感兴趣的医学生，在MSM MSCR计划的MD/MSCR轨道中注册。目标2：为少数民族T32学员改善心血管和睡眠障碍的临床和转化研究培训环境。我们将促进T32学员，教师和导师之间的跨学科话语和科学交流。我们将利用MSM研究生医学教育计划的多样性和优势，心血管和神经科学研究所的基础科学研究卓越性，亚特兰大临床和转化科学研究所（ACTSI）的优秀临床研究资源和指导，以实现上述目标。相关性（参见说明）：该培训计划解决了少数民族科学家作为21世纪世纪的主要研究者的可持续发展的迫切需要，通过开发和实施创新战略和合作，建立在现有计划的优势，如ACTSI。(End摘要）

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of this training program is to attract and train talented under-represented minority pre- doctoral students to MSM and prepare them to pursue independent research career opportunities in Clinical and Translational Research (CTR) thereby augmenting the number of highly skilled investigators pursuing CTR related to clinical cardiovascular disease and sleep disorders. The following aims will drive the overall goal of this program: Aim 1: Develop a multidisciplinary clinical cardiovascular and sleep-disorders research training program that will recruit URM candidates across the ACTSI and its partner institutions (MSM, Emory, and Georgia Tech). We will target PhD graduate students interested in cardiovascular and sleep disorders research for enrollment in the PhD/MSCR track in the MSM MSCR program, and target medical students interested in cardiovascular and sleep disorders research for enrollment in the MD/MSCR track in the MSM MSCR program. Aim 2: Enhance the clinical and translational research training environment in cardiovascular and sleep disorders for minority T32 trainees. We will promote interdisciplinary discourse and scientific exchange among T32 trainees, faculty and mentors. We will harnesses the diversity and strength of MSM graduate medical education programs, the basic science research excellence of the Cardiovascular and Neuroscience institutes, the outstanding clinical research resources and mentorship of the Atlanta Clinical and Translational Science Institute (ACTSI) to address the above aims. RELEVANCE (See instructions): This training program addresses the critical need for development of a sustainable pool of minority scientists as leading investigators for the 21st century, by developing and implementing innovative strategies and collaborations that build upon the strengths of existing programs such as the ACTSI.
