Description (provided by applicant): This application is a competing renewal of a 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 pre-doctoral 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 28 faculty in the Departments of Cell Biology & Anatomy, Medicine, Pathology, Pediatrics, Pharmacology & Toxicology, Physiology, Surgery. A majority of these faculty also have appointments or affiliations with the Georgia Prevention Institute, the Institute for Molecular Medicine and Genetics, and the Vascular Biology Center 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. An Internal Advisory Committee of experienced leaders of the graduate program at the Medical College of Georgia will 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. 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; advanced course electives such as Cardiovascular Physiology & Pharmacology and Frontiers in Vascular Biology; 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. 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(由申请者提供)：此申请是佐治亚医学院(MCG)心血管生物学综合多学科博士前培训补助金的竞争性续签。该项目的长期目标是利用分子、遗传学、细胞、组织/器官、整体动物和人体实验方法，为心血管综合生物学领域的独立研究事业培养博士前和医学博士/博士研究生。该项目涉及细胞生物学和解剖学、医学、病理学、儿科、药理学和毒理学、生理学、外科等系的28名教员的专业知识。这些教员中的大多数还与佐治亚州预防研究所、分子医学和遗传学研究所以及MCG校园内的血管生物学中心有约会或联系。该项目的教授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，2)血管张力控制，3)心脏发育，4)内皮功能障碍，5)心血管疾病预防。这笔培训补助金将通过医学院的血管生物学中心进行管理。该项目由项目主任大卫·M·波洛克博士和项目联席主任珍妮弗·S·波洛克博士领导，他们都是知名研究人员。一个由佐治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。受训者将是目前在佐治亚州医学院研究生院生物医学博士项目全日制注册的博士或医学/博士研究生。学生将根据他们对综合心血管生物学表现出的兴趣以及他们以前的学术表现和研究经验来选择。所有学员将被要求参加教学培训活动，包括第一年核心课程并通过第一次资格考试；高级选修课，如心血管生理学、药理学和血管生物学前沿；科学传播和研究伦理课程，以及生物统计学；参加一个或多个系系列研讨会；心血管杂志俱乐部；以及每年的研究生研究日活动。完成该项目后，学生将准备好在一流实验室接受博士后培训，开始他们作为心血管科学独立研究人员的职业生涯。
