This proposal will fund a new NHLBI CVD Epi Training Program in Behavior, the Environment, and Global Health, critically important scientific disciplines that are currently under-represented in NHLBI training. This Program will train both pre- and post-doctoral trainees in the rich academic environment of the Harvard School of Public Health and affiliated institutions locally and worldwide, bringing together outstanding faculty Mentors to provide integrated and interdisciplinary experiences and collaborative interactions, specialized curriculum with core and elective coursework, nondidactic practical career training, individual candidate training plans, and ongoing Program evaluation. Cutting-edge didactic training and mentoring will create a new generation of highly skilled and enthusiastic investigators to study the impact of behavioral and environmental risk factors on cardiometabolic diseases; to elucidate the cultural norms, genomic variation, and biologic and sociologic pathways that modify these risk factors; and to understand and utilize the full set of epidemiologic, interventional, environmental, and policy tools to design, implement, and evaluate the most effective individualized, community, and policy interventions to reduce impact of harmful risk factors, facilitate expansion of protective behavioral and environmental factors, and attenuate or reverse the alarming global trends in cardiometabolic diseases. Training will include modern methodological and analytical techniques required to study the intersections of cardiometabolic diseases with Behavior, including observational epidemiology and interventions in adulthood, adolescence, and early life; the Environment, including airborne and environmental toxins, social risks, and physical (built) environment; and Global Health, including observational epidemiology, demography, comparative risk assessment, and controlled interventions at both individual and community levels. This Training Program will add considerable strength and depth to the NHLBI's commitment to understanding the behavioral and environmental determinants, preventive measures, and treatments of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases in both developed and developing nations. RELEVANCE (See instructions): Training a new generation of investigators to understand how behavioral and environmental risk factors impact cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, and how to cost-effectively and sustainably modify these factors, is among the most important scientific tasks of our time. These are global challenges, as changing behaviors and environmental risks are rapidly increasing cardiovascular and metabolic diseases worldwide and widespread use of costly new drug- and device-related treatments may not be practical or cost-effective.

该提案将资助一个新的NHLBI CVD Epi行为，环境和全球培训计划。 健康，目前在NHLBI培训中代表性不足的至关重要的科学学科。这 该项目将在哈佛丰富的学术环境中培养博士前和博士后学员 公共卫生学院和附属机构在当地和世界各地，汇集了优秀的教师 导师提供综合和跨学科的经验和协作互动，专业 核心课程与选修课程，非教学性实践职业培训，个别候选人 培训计划和正在进行的项目评估。尖端的教学培训和指导将创造一个 新一代的高技能和热情的研究人员，研究行为和 环境风险因素对心脏代谢疾病;阐明文化规范，基因组变异， 以及改变这些风险因素的生物学和社会学途径;并了解和利用全套 流行病学，干预，环境和政策工具，以设计，实施和评估最 有效的个性化、社区和政策干预，以减少有害风险因素的影响， 扩大保护性行为和环境因素，减轻或扭转令人震惊的全球气候变化。 心脏代谢疾病的趋势。培训将包括现代方法和分析技术 要求研究心脏代谢疾病与行为的交叉点，包括观察性 流行病学和成年期，青春期和早期生活的干预措施;环境，包括 空气传播和环境毒素、社会风险和物理（建筑）环境;以及全球卫生， 包括观察性流行病学、人口统计学、比较风险评估和对照 在个人和社区两级采取干预措施。这项培训计划将增加相当大的力量 以及NHLBI对理解行为和环境决定因素的承诺的深度， 预防措施和治疗心血管和代谢疾病， 发展中国家。 相关性（参见说明）： 培训新一代调查人员，了解行为和环境风险因素 影响心血管和代谢疾病，以及如何经济有效地和可持续地改变这些 这是我们这个时代最重要的科学任务之一。这些都是全球性的挑战， 行为和环境风险正在全球范围内迅速增加心血管和代谢疾病 并且广泛使用昂贵的新药物和装置相关的治疗可能不实用或不划算。
