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（由申请人提供）：本申请是在格鲁吉亚医学院（MCG）的综合心血管生物学多学科博士前培训补助金的竞争性更新。本项目的长期目标是培养博士前博士。M.D.博士学生在综合心血管生物学的独立研究生涯，利用分子，遗传，细胞，组织/器官，整个动物和人类实验方法。该计划涉及细胞生物学与解剖学，医学，病理学，儿科学，药理学与毒理学，生理学，外科学等部门的28名教师的专业知识。这些教师中的大多数也有任命或隶属于格鲁吉亚预防研究所，分子医学和遗传学研究所，血管生物学中心在MCG校园。该计划的教师导师代表了一群杰出的综合性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）血管细胞信号传导，2）血管张力控制，3）心脏发育，4）内皮功能障碍和5）预防心血管疾病。这项培训补助金将通过医学院血管生物学中心管理。该项目由大卫M博士指导。波洛克，项目主任和博士詹妮弗S。波洛克，项目联合主任，都成立了调查员。一个由格鲁吉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。学员将获得博士学位。或医学博士/博士研究生目前就读于生物医学科学博士全日制。在格鲁吉亚医学院研究生院的计划。学生将根据他们对综合心血管生物学的兴趣以及他们以前的学习成绩和研究经验进行选择。所有受训人员都必须参加教学培训活动，包括第一年核心课程和通过第一次资格考试;高级选修课，如心血管生理学和药理学以及血管生物学前沿;科学交流和研究伦理学以及生物统计学课程;参加一个或多个部门系列研讨会;心血管杂志俱乐部;以及每年的研究生日活动。完成该计划后，学生将准备在一流的实验室进行博士后培训，因为他们开始作为心血管科学独立研究者的职业生涯。
