DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Research is a major weapon in our fight against cardiovascular disease (CVD), the number one cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Nurse researchers have made significant contributions to knowledge discovery in the science of CVD prevention and management interventions to improve cardiovascular health. To ensure that knowledge discovery continues, we need more training programs to attract and prepare promising nurse scientists to careers in cardiovascular health research, especially to function as leaders and members of interdisciplinary research teams. There also is an urgent need to increase the number of nurse scientists at younger stages in their careers. This application requests support for pre- doctoral interdisciplinary research training for nurse scientists to build investigative careers directed at improving our understanding of behavioral, biologic and genomic mechanisms associated with cardiovascular health, illness, risk, and the investigation of interventions designed to prevent or control CVD risk factors and promote cardiovascular health. Through a combination of didactic coursework, directed research residencies, interdisciplinary co-mentorship, skill-building workshops, journal clubs, research seminars, and independent research projects, fellows will develop competencies to conduct state-of-the-art research. Fellows will have the opportunity to select senior research mentors from four research clusters: 1) intervention science (health behavior change, health literacy); 2) research methodology (biostatistics, epidemiology, clinical trials, comparative effectiveness, economic analyses, community based participatory research); 3) biologic science (genetics, markers of inflammation/atherosclerosis, stress); and 4) social science (health disparities, social determinants of health). This training program benefits from the participation of experienced, enthusiastic, committed faculty from the Schools of Nursing, Medicine, and Public Health, who are involved in active, funded research programs in cardiovascular health; the availability of interdisciplinary course offerings and research experiences targeted to achieve competencies in the areas of cardiovascular research; and a strong history of productive NIH-funded interdisciplinary research and training efforts. The specific aims of this training program are to: 1) provide fellows with the in-depth core knowledge and skills to conduct rigorous research in the area of CVD prevention and management; 2) provide intensive research experiences with seasoned mentors conducting research in the prevention and management of CVD; 3) utilize resources throughout the University to assure training across disciplines to develop creative, successful clinical investigators who can lead and participate in research within interdisciplinary teams: and, 4) increase the number of and strengthen the preparation of early career nurse scientists participating in research.

描述（由申请人提供）：研究是我们对抗心血管疾病（CVD）的主要武器，心血管疾病是美国发病率和死亡率的第一大原因。护士研究人员在心血管疾病预防和管理干预以改善心血管健康的科学知识发现方面做出了重大贡献。为了确保知识发现的继续，我们需要更多的培训项目来吸引和准备有前途的护士科学家从事心血管健康研究，特别是作为跨学科研究团队的领导者和成员。还迫切需要增加处于职业生涯较年轻阶段的护士科学家的数量。本申请要求支持对护士科学家进行博士前跨学科研究培训，以建立调查性职业，旨在提高我们对与心血管健康、疾病、风险相关的行为、生物学和基因组机制的理解，并调查旨在预防或控制心血管疾病风险因素和促进心血管健康的干预措施。通过教学课程、定向研究实习、跨学科共同指导、技能培养讲习班、期刊俱乐部、研究研讨会和独立研究项目的结合，研究员将培养进行最先进研究的能力。研究员将有机会从四个研究集群中选择高级研究导师：1)干预科学（健康行为改变，健康素养）；2)研究方法（生物统计学、流行病学、临床试验、比较有效性、经济分析、基于社区的参与性研究）；3)生物科学（遗传学、炎症/动脉粥样硬化标志物、应激）；4)社会科学（健康差异，健康的社会决定因素）。该培训项目得益于来自护理学院、医学院和公共卫生学院经验丰富、热情、忠诚的教师的参与，他们积极参与心血管健康方面的资助研究项目；提供跨学科课程和研究经验，旨在实现心血管研究领域的能力；以及在美国国立卫生研究院资助的跨学科研究和培训工作方面富有成效的悠久历史。该培训计划的具体目标是：1)为研究员提供深入的核心知识和技能，以便在心血管疾病预防和管理领域进行严格的研究；2)提供丰富的研究经验，由经验丰富的导师进行心血管疾病的预防和管理研究；3)利用整个大学的资源来确保跨学科培训，以培养有创造力的，成功的临床研究者，他们可以领导和参与跨学科团队的研究；4)增加参与研究的早期职业护士科学家的数量并加强其准备。
