R13 Vasculata Conference 2019

总结 从2004年起，属于北美血管协会赞助的血管会议 生物学组织（NAVBO）在学术界的聚集有着悠久的历史 场地在威斯康星州医学院NAVBO教育委员会的最后一次会议上， (MCW)被一致选为2019年会议的主办方。本次会议 多年来，从2004年的60名与会者稳步增长到2017年的120名与会者， 伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校。Vasculata简单地说就是一个激烈的“靴子营”， 向学生和研究员介绍血管生物学（HLBS）。2019年Vasculata MCW重点 会议是在短期研讨会，涵盖了一个明确的课程，其次是讲习班， 对该领域有实际意义的主题。与当地教师和研究员的联系，包括在 研讨会和海报会议，然后是参与者的长期参与计划是一个 课程的关键方面。在MCW的会议将介绍当地的学术 环境，特别是血管生物学和血液学的研究人员，以科学 社区东南部威斯康星州机构将共同主办这次会议与MCW，并有一个 丰富的心血管和血液研究历史。这次会议的主要目标是培训 下一代科学家和吸引代表性不足的少数民族到HLBS研究。到 为了促进这一目标，我们有以下目标： 1.促进代表性不足的少数群体和妇女了解HLBS的研究。 2.传授HLBS研究的基本知识和最新知识。 3.举办研讨会，介绍HLBS研究中当前和新兴的方法。 4.教育学员有关HLBS研究的专业职业道路。 为了实现这些目标，我们要求NHLBI提供有限的资金，以抵消部分费用 与在MCW举办这次会议有关。实现这些目标将增加 在HLBS研究中代表性不足的少数民族的代表性，并将在下一次培训和准备 未来的HLBS研究。这些目标直接与培训和 NHLBI的研究使命组成部分。

SUMMARY From 2004, Vasculata conferences that fall under the auspices of the North American Vascular Biology Organization (NAVBO) have a long-standing history in assembling at academic rich venues. At the last meeting of the NAVBO Education Committee, Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) was selected unanimously as the host of the 2019 conference. This meeting has steadily grown over the years from 60 attendees in 2004 to 120 attendees in its 2017 version at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Vasculata in a nutshell is an intense “boot camp” that introduces students and fellows to vascular (HLBS) biology. Emphasis at 2019 Vasculata MCW conference is on short seminars covering a defined curriculum, followed by workshops with topics of practical interest to the field. Contact with local faculty and fellows, including within workshops and poster sessions, followed by long-term engaging plans for participants is a critical aspect of the course. The meeting at MCW will introduce the local academic environment, especially vascular biology and hematology minded researchers, to the scientific community. Southeastern Wisconsin institutions will co-host this meeting with MCW, and have a rich history of cardiovascular and blood research. The key goal of this meeting is to train the next generation of scientists and attract underrepresented minorities to HLBS research. To facilitate this goal, we have the following objectives: 1. To facilitate exposure of underrepresented minorities and women to HLBS research. 2. To dispense basic and current knowledge in HLBS research. 3. To conduct workshops that introduces current and emerging methods in HLBS research. 4. To educate trainees regarding professional career paths in HLBS research. To facilitate these objectives, we request limited funds from NHLBI to offset some of the costs associated with hosting this conference at MCW. Accomplishing the objectives will increase representation of underrepresented minorities in HLBS research, and will train and prepare next generation to the future of HLBS research. These goals are directly aligned with the training and research mission component of NHLBI.
