The John A. Burns School of Medicine at the University of Hawaii has embarked on a new course, working to create a scientifically focused school that will create physicians and investigators dedicated to addressing the specific medical needs of the under-served and underprivileged population of our islands. With the resources of a previous Molecular Cardiology Award from the NBLBI we have made substantial progress in developing a Center for Cardiovascular Research. However, our Center, and school, still lacks the critical mass of senior scientists that are required to address the burden of cardiovascular disease in our State. During the two years of this program we plan to recruit an investigator who will complement expertise present in the CCR and bring an important new scientific program to the school. We will also support two young investigators who show the greatest promise for contributing their special sets of skills to the Center. We plan to develop a smooth transition from the two years of PSO funding to the PSO program that will both support the transplantation of a robust new program by a senior investigator, and continue to enlarge the most innovative initiatives of the Center. Our success in this program will enhance our work to address health disparities, which occurs at several different levels. These efforts include: 1. the direct investigation of pathophysiology of diseases that inordinately affect under-served populations, 2. the dissemination of basic science knowledge and techniques to students from minorities under-represented in the sciences, 3. the training ofthe next generation of cardiovascular investigators and clinicians to serve the heterogeneous population of Hawaii.

约翰A。夏威夷大学伯恩斯医学院已开始开设一门新课程，致力于创建一个以科学为重点的学校，培养医生和调查人员，致力于解决我们岛屿上服务不足和贫困人口的具体医疗需求。利用NBLBI先前的分子心脏病学奖资源，我们在发展心血管研究中心方面取得了实质性进展。然而，我们的中心和学校仍然缺乏解决我们州心血管疾病负担所需的资深科学家的临界质量。在这个项目的两年内，我们计划招募一名调查员，他将补充CCR中的专业知识，并为学校带来一个重要的新科学项目。我们还将支持两位年轻的研究人员，他们表现出最大的希望，为中心贡献他们的特殊技能。我们计划从两年的PSO资金顺利过渡到PSO计划，这将支持高级研究员移植一个强大的新计划，并继续扩大该中心最具创新性的举措。我们在这一计划中的成功将加强我们的工作，以解决健康差距，这发生在几个不同的水平。这些努力包括： 1.直接调查严重影响服务不足人群的疾病的病理生理学， 2.向理科人数不足的少数民族学生传播基本科学知识和技术， 3.培训下一代心血管研究人员和临床医生，为夏威夷的多元化人口服务。
