The renewal of this R25—Excellence in Cardiovascular Sciences (EICS) program--will continue to provide short-term training for undergraduate students of diverse backgrounds, focusing on research training related to the cardiovascular system with an emphasis on teams of investigators involved in translational research. This approach takes advantage of the broad, multidisciplinary cardiovascular research ongoing at Wake Forest School of Medicine (WFSM), with areas of expertise in hypertension, diabetes/obesity, aging/development and cardiac, renal and vascular diseases. Faculty from Hypertension & Vascular Research, the Cardiovascular Sciences Center, the Center for Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, and the Departments of Physiology/Pharmacology, Cardiology, Public Health Science, Pathology and Biochemistry participate as Research Mentors, many of whom have participated in the program for 20-24 years. The trainees will be students under-represented in biomedical sciences, those from disadvantaged backgrounds, or those with disabilities wishing to pursue a biomedical research project. The overall objectives remain to 1) introduce students to biomedical research through hands-on participation in a research project; 2) introduce students to critical scientific evaluation by participating in a cardiovascular journal club; 3) provide experience in scientific writing and speaking through presentation of the research project as a poster; 4) provide exposure to research faculty, both basic science and clinical; 5) foster a long-term commitment to pursue a career in the biomedical sciences through an experience that exemplifies the excitement and challenges of clinically relevant investigation; 6) provide exposure to diverse career opportunities by bi-weekly faculty chats with Career Mentors; 7) facilitate matriculation into biomedical graduate programs by providing information on applying to graduate school and taking the GRE examination; 8) provide an in-depth formal evaluation of the mentees by their Research Mentors; 9) provide a written evaluation of journal club presentations; and 10) provide hands-on demonstration of state-of-the-art devices to measure cardiovascular parameters. A new objective for the renewal will include a writing workshop, to develop and hone writing skills. Approximately 80% of the former participants in the program who have finished their undergraduate degrees matriculated to graduate, medical, teaching or industrial technical positions. Furthermore, ~11% of the participants have continued their association with WFSM as PhD students, medical students or technical/post-bac students; three EICS students from the last cycle participated in the WFSM post-baccalaureate program (PREP) and three EICS students are currently PhD students in our graduate program. These statistics demonstrate the continued success of the EICS program and its primary focus of providing training to under-represented minorities to facilitate their matriculation into post-graduate programs and their careers in biomedical research.

R25——卓越心血管科学 (EICS) 计划的更新——将继续提供 针对不同背景的本科生的短期培训，重点是与相关的研究培训 心血管系统，重点关注参与转化研究的研究人员团队。这 该方法利用了维克森林大学正在进行的广泛、多学科的心血管研究 医学院 (WFSM)，拥有高血压、糖尿病/肥胖、衰老/发育和 心脏、肾脏和血管疾病。高血压与血管研究、心血管学院的教师 科学中心、糖尿病、肥胖和代谢中心以及各部门 生理学/药理学、心脏病学、公共卫生科学、病理学和生物化学作为参与 研究导师，其中许多人已经参与该项目 20-24 年。受训者将是 生物医学科学领域代表性不足的学生、来自弱势背景的学生或有 希望从事生物医学研究项目的残疾人。总体目标仍然是 1) 引入 学生通过亲自参与研究项目来进行生物医学研究； 2）向学生介绍 参加心血管期刊俱乐部进行批判性科学评估； 3）提供科学经验 通过以海报形式展示研究项目来进行写作和演讲； 4）提供研究机会 基础科学和临床教师； 5）培养对生物医学事业的长期承诺 通过体现临床相关的兴奋和挑战的经验来了解科学 调查; 6) 通过每两周一次的教师与 Career 的聊天，提供多样化的职业机会 导师； 7) 通过提供申请信息，促进生物医学研究生课程的入学 研究生院并参加 GRE 考试； 8）对受训者进行深入的正式评估 他们的研究导师； 9) 提供对期刊俱乐部演讲的书面评价； 10) 提供实践机会 演示测量心血管参数的最先进设备。的新目标 更新将包括一个写作研讨会，以发展和磨练写作技能。前者约80% 该计划的参与者已完成本科学位，并被录取为研究生、医学、 教学或工业技术职位。此外，约 11% 的参与者继续他们的 作为博士生、医学生或技术/学士后学生与 WFSM 合作；三个EICS 上一周期的学生参加了 WFSM 学士后课程 (PREP) 和三个 EICS 学生目前是我们研究生课程的博士生。这些统计数据表明持续 EICS 计划的成功及其主要重点是为代表性不足的少数群体提供培训 促进他们进入研究生课程并从事生物医学研究。
