DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a proposal for the competing continuation of the University of Pittsburgh Training Program in Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology. Advances in noninvasive methods of measuring atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis have changed the field of CV epidemiology by providing more precise and useful phenotypes for CVD expression. Technology is constantly changing, requiring new protocols to match the capabilities of new equipment. Under the leadership of Dr. Kim Sutton-Tyrrell, this program is designed to provide concentrated training in the quality collection of subclinical atherosclerosis measures and how they can be used to understand the process of atherosclerosis. The training program is organized around four major research strengths: vascular aging, women's health, high risk and international populations and genetics. The unifying theme is the application of subclinical atherosclerosis measures to each research area. Core strengths in nutrition, exercise, biostatistics, multi- center collaborations and psychosocial measures are also integrated into the program. This interconnected set of resources provides a rich substrate upon which the trainees develop. Trainees have a primary mentor and will also work closely with other faculty members as well as a peer mentor who is a more experienced trainee. The training program consists of course work, research field work and professional development, all individually tailored to each trainee. Research field work includes recruitment, data collection, entry and management, study operations and data analysis, providing trainees with experience in the full range of research tasks. Professional development activities include focused work with subclinical measures, completion of an independent research project, a remote training experience, grant writing experience, manuscript preparation, participation in national conferences, skill development workshops and training in the responsible conduct of research. Trainees will also have the opportunity to develop laboratory-based and analytical skills in genetic epidemiology. The program is designed to produce investigators skilled in a multidisciplinary approach to cardiovascular research, who are comfortable with using subclinical measures in cross-discipline collaborations and who have the skills to develop new measurement protocols.

描述(由申请人提供)：这是匹兹堡大学心血管疾病流行病学培训计划竞争性延续的建议。测量动脉粥样硬化和动脉硬化的非侵入性方法的进展改变了心血管流行病学领域，为心血管疾病的表达提供了更准确和有用的表型。技术在不断变化，需要新的协议来匹配新设备的功能。在Kim Sutton-Tyrrell博士的领导下，该项目旨在提供有关亚临床动脉粥样硬化措施的高质量收集以及如何使用它们来了解动脉粥样硬化过程的集中培训。培训计划围绕四个主要研究优势组织：血管老化、妇女健康、高风险和国际人口以及遗传学。统一的主题是亚临床动脉粥样硬化措施在每个研究领域的应用。营养、运动、生物统计学、多中心合作和心理社会措施方面的核心优势也被纳入该计划。这套相互关联的资源为受训人员的发展提供了丰富的基础。学员有一名主要导师，还将与其他教职员工以及一名经验更丰富的同行导师密切合作。培训计划包括课程工作、研究实地工作和职业发展，所有这些都是为每个受训人员量身定做的。研究实地工作包括招聘、数据收集、录入和管理、研究操作和数据分析，为受训人员提供全方位研究任务的经验。专业发展活动包括以亚临床措施为重点的工作、完成独立研究项目、远程培训经验、赠款撰写经验、手稿准备、参加国家会议、技能发展讲习班和负责任的研究开展培训。受训人员还将有机会发展遗传流行病学的实验室和分析技能。该计划旨在培养精通心血管研究的多学科方法的研究人员，他们熟悉在跨学科合作中使用亚临床测量方法，并具有开发新测量方案的技能。(摘要结束)
