DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Vasculata is a unique meeting, an intense, annual "boot camp" introduction to the rapidly changing field of cardiovascular biology. Each year's Vasculata shares a common curriculum as well as a focus on a specific breaking edge topic relevant to diseases of the heart and blood vessels. Costs for students are minimized by a combination of state of the art techniques including webinar software and our development of a self-teaching tutorial that facilitates student interactions with an outstanding on site faculty. That site rotates each year to maximize involvement at key institutions at different sites around the US with a critical mass of cardiovascular scientists. For the last four years, a special effort at addressing URM students has been made by pairing with a local minority institution. This year's focus is on cardiovascular stem cell biology. Vasculata 2014 will be held in Seattle, Washington from July 14 to July 17, 2014 with the University of Washington serving as the lead host institution and under the umbrella of NAVBO, the North American Vascular Biology Organization. The goal is to inspire and attract students, fellows, and young investigators from a variety of disciplines to enter the rapidly changing field of cardiovascular biology. To accomplish this goal in 2014, the last session of Vasculata 2014 will be conjoint with the annual meeting of the Society for Developmental Biology. The common curriculum of all Vasculatas includes developmental biology of the heart and vessels, the major cardiovascular diseases, endothelial barrier function, role of the endothelium in inflammation and immunology, interactions with coagulation and thrombosis, smooth muscle biology, and genetic basis of diseases of heart and vessels. Vasculata 2014 will build on this with a focus on the use of stem cells including basic ideas about the origins of myocardial cells and developmental interactions with smooth muscle and endocardium. Workshops will provide the trainees with first-hand experience with stem cell derived myocardium and with the tools used to investigate function after a graft. We will also expand on the system wide impact of heart and vascular diseases by having specific session devoted to the biology of the heart, renal and CNS vasculature. We anticipate a very good turnout for the Vasculata 2014 conference. Recent sessions at UCSD and Vanderbilt had attendances of about 80-100. We expect to as well or better in 2014 because Vasculata will be jointly promoted by NAVBO and the Society for Developmental Biology. In addition, because the UW does not have a nearby URM school, we have partnered with the STEMPREP Project based at Southern Methodist University. STEMPREP is an extremely successful program that recruits young students from URM groups and mentors them to enter careers specifically in research.

描述（由申请人提供）： Vasculata 是一次独特的会议，是一次激烈的年度“训练营”，介绍快速变化的心血管生物学领域。每年的 Vasculata 都有共同的课程，并重点关注与心脏和血管疾病相关的特定前沿主题。通过结合最先进的技术（包括网络研讨会软件）和我们开发的自学教程（促进学生与优秀的现场教师互动），可以最大限度地降低学生的成本。该站点每年都会轮换，以最大程度地吸引美国各地关键机构的参与，并拥有足够数量的心血管科学家。在过去的四年里，URM 通过与当地的少数族裔机构合作，特别努力解决学生问题。 今年的重点是心血管干细胞生物学。 Vasculata 2014 将于 2014 年 7 月 14 日至 17 日在华盛顿州西雅图举行，华盛顿大学作为主要主办机构，在北美血管生物学组织 (NAVBO) 的支持下举行。 其目标是激励和吸引来自不同学科的学生、研究员和年轻研究人员进入快速变化的心血管生物学领域。为了完成 为了实现 2014 年这一目标，Vasculata 2014 的最后一届会议将与发育生物学学会年会同时举行。 所有脉管学的共同课程包括心脏和血管的发育生物学、主要心血管疾病、内皮屏障功能、内皮在炎症和免疫学中的作用、与凝血和血栓形成的相互作用、平滑肌生物学以及心脏和血管疾病的遗传基础。 Vasculata 2014 将在此基础上重点关注干细胞的使用，包括有关心肌细胞起源以及与平滑肌和心内膜发育相互作用的基本概念。研讨会将为学员提供干细胞来源的心肌的第一手经验以及用于研究移植后功能的工具。我们还将通过专门讨论心脏、肾脏和中枢神经系统脉管系统生物学的专门会议来扩展心脏和血管疾病对整个系统的影响。 我们预计 2014 年 Vasculata 会议的出席人数将会非常高。最近在 UCSD 和范德比尔特举行的会议约有 80-100 人参加。我们预计 2014 年会同样好甚至更好，因为 Vasculata 将由 NAVBO 和发育生物学学会联合推广。此外，由于威斯康星大学附近没有 URM 学校，我们与南卫理公会大学的 STEMPREP 项目合作。 STEMPREP 是一个非常成功的项目，它从 URM 团体中招募年轻学生，并指导他们进入研究领域的职业生涯。
