 描述（由申请人提供）：这是一个更新的申请，继续支持T-32培训计划在维克森林大学医学院。该计划是专门为致力于心脏病学和临床心血管研究的医学博士而设计的。我们国家心血管研究议程的不断发展的性质将需要一个生物医学劳动力，其中包括在临床和人口心血管研究方面训练有素的各种医生科学家。在这里，我们建议每年招募三名博士后学员参加为期两年的研究培训计划，其中包括基于论文的临床和人口转化科学硕士学位，参加校外研讨会和短期课程，如NHLBI赞助的为期十天的流行病学和心血管疾病预防研讨会，全面的专业发展和网络活动，以及一系列由教师指导的研究机会。该计划有10年的成功招聘和高素质的受训人员保留的跟踪记录-包括代表性不足的少数民族，已经开发并不断改进了科学相关的教育为重点的培训经验，有一个项目主任和多元化的教师具有广泛的研究和指导经验，并有一个丰富的和机构支持的环境，在其中开展这一计划。(End摘要）

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a renewal application for continued support of a T-32 training program at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine. This program is specifically designed for MDs committed to a career in cardiology and clinical cardiovascular research. The evolving nature of our nation's cardiovascular research agenda will require a biomedical workforce that includes diverse physician-scientists well-trained in clinical and population cardiovascular research. Here we propose to recruit three post-doctoral trainees per year into a two-year research training program that includes a thesis-based Master's Degree in Clinical and Population Translational Science, participation in extramural seminars and short courses such as the NHLBI-sponsored Ten-Day Seminar on the Epidemiology and Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease, comprehensive professional development and networking activities, and a diverse array of faculty-mentored research opportunities. The program has a 10-year track record of successful recruitment and retention of highly qualified trainees - including under-represented minorities, has developed and continually improved a scientifically relevant educationally focused training experience, has a Program Director and diverse Faculty with extensive research and mentoring experience, and has a rich and institutionally supportive environment in which to carry out this program.
