DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A decline in the number of physician scientists in the United States, correlates with the NIH Roadmap's concern about the lack of well-trained individuals with the capacity to translate research from bench to bedside. Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the United States and the growth of the aged population over the next 20 years will dramatically increase the incidence of peripheral vascular disease and the need for new and improved treatment options for these diseases. Thus, great need exists for formal training programs to prepare future scientists, engineers, and clinicians who can advance the science behind therapies for vascular patients. This application proposes a multidisciplinary and collaborative training program that will co-train young physicians and scientists with interests in vascular biology. The overall goal of the proposed "Vascular Surgery Research Training Program" is to provide a comprehensive and hypothesis-based research experience to future investigators who are strongly motivated towards a career in vascular surgery and vascular research. The program will provide trainees with multiple opportunities for research activities in broad areas of vascular biology, drug development/delivery, vascular imaging and health services. The program will also foster the development of knowledge, competence, skills, professional attitudes, and experience required for successful academic careers in independent NIH-funded research. The specific objectives of this program are to: 1) through a two-year postdoctoral research training experience for selected surgical residents or medical residents/fellows, provide training in the conduct of basic, translational, health services research through participation in an individual and tailored didacti and mentoring program utilizing the extensive resources of the UW Department of Surgery, UW Cardiovascular Research Center, UW College of Engineering and UW School of Medicine and Public Health, including the Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (ICTR), 2) encourage recent doctoral graduates with a background in molecular biology, cell biology, physiology, chemical engineering, biomedical engineering, or other disciplines to pursue academic research careers in the field of vascular biology by providing two to three year postdoctoral training, 3) develop physician-scientists and leaders in academic surgery with an emphasis on vascular diseases and 4) expand the pool of surgeon-scientists with comprehensive training in health services research. The application includes a pool of experienced, extramurally funded trainers from a variety of vascular- related disciplines including surgery, radiology, population health, and biomedical engineering; and incorporates effective assessment processes, a plan to promote diversity by recruiting and retaining both women and minorities, and a comprehensive plan for training in the responsible conduct of research. The program directors have demonstrated success in a similar program at their previous institution and the University of Wisconsin offers an excellent environment for the continued success of the program.

描述(由申请者提供)：美国内科科学家数量的下降与NIH路线图的担忧有关，即缺乏训练有素的个人，能够将研究从长凳转化到床边。心血管疾病仍然是美国死亡和发病的主要原因，未来20年老年人口的增长将极大地增加外周血管疾病的发生率，并需要为这些疾病提供新的和改进的治疗方案。因此，非常需要正规的培训计划来培养未来的科学家、工程师和临床医生，他们能够推动血管患者治疗背后的科学。该应用程序提出了一个多学科协作培训计划，该计划将联合培训 对血管生物学感兴趣的年轻医生和科学家。拟议的“血管外科研究培训计划”的总体目标是为未来有强烈动机从事血管外科和血管研究的研究人员提供全面的、基于假设的研究经验。该计划将为学员提供在血管生物学、药物开发/输送、血管成像和健康服务等广泛领域开展研究活动的多种机会。该计划还将促进知识、能力、技能、专业态度和经验的发展，这是NIH资助的独立研究成功的学术生涯所必需的。该计划的具体目标是：1)通过对选定的外科住院医生或住院医生/研究员进行为期两年的博士后研究培训，通过参加个别和量身定做的授课和指导计划，提供进行基础、翻译和卫生服务研究的培训，利用华盛顿大学外科系、华盛顿大学心血管研究中心、华盛顿大学工程学院和华盛顿大学医学和公共卫生学院(包括临床和翻译研究所)的广泛资源；2)鼓励新近毕业的具有分子生物学、细胞生物学、生理学、化学工程、生物医学工程背景的博士毕业生，通过提供两到三年的博士后培训，在血管生物学领域或其他学科从事学术研究生涯；3)培养内科科学家和以血管疾病为重点的学术外科领域的领军人物；4)通过全面的卫生服务研究培训，扩大外科科学家队伍。该申请包括一批来自外科、放射学、人口健康和生物医学工程等各种血管相关学科的经验丰富的外部资助培训人员；并纳入了有效的评估程序、通过招聘和留住妇女和少数群体来促进多样性的计划，以及负责任的研究开展培训的全面计划。项目负责人已经在他们之前的机构中证明了类似项目的成功，威斯康星大学为该项目的继续成功提供了一个极好的环境。
