Research Training and Education Core (Core D)

我们在美国烟草管制和成瘾中心（A-TRAC）的多学科教育培训核心的总体目标是在烟草相关心血管医学和政策方面培养下一代基础、临床和转化学术研究人员，并在烟草管制科学方面交叉培训研究人员。调查人员将获得科学调查和公共卫生方面的专业知识，向FDA烟草制品中心通报有关烟草制品生产、分销和营销监管的相关发现。我们将利用我们机构（波士顿大学，埃默里大学，约翰霍普金斯大学）的杰出专业知识，设施，基础设施和研究经验

The overall goal of our Multidisciplinary Educational Training Core in the AHA-Tobacco Regulation and Addiction Center (A-TRAC) is to develop the next generation of basic, clinical, and translational academic investigators in tobacco-related cardiovascular medicine and policy and to cross-train investigators in tobacco regulatory science. Investigators will gain expertise in both scientific investigation and public health to inform the FDA Center for Tobacco Products with relevant findings for regulation of the manufacture, distribution and marketing of tobacco products. We will leverage the outstanding expertise, facilities, infrastructure, and research experience at our institutions (Boston University - BU, Emory University, Johns Hopkins University - JHU, New York University - NYU, University of Louisville - UofL, University of Mississippi Medical Center - UMMC) and utilize the broad portfolio of American Heart Association (AHA)-affiliated institutions' research and training programs. Our Education and Training core will focus on career development and research of the adverse consequences of cardiovascular disease from diverse tobacco uses with a strong thematic focus on fundamental, clinical and translational cardiovascular science. We will work with the other Tobacco Centers of Regulator Science (TCORS) to develop a rigorous, innovative multi-institutional career and research development programs for trainees/early career faculty within P50 Centers of the TCORS network.
