PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the US. The growth of the aged population over the next 20 years will dramatically increase the incidence of peripheral vascular disease (PVD) leading to a great need for new options for diagnosis, prevention and treatment. There is a relative deficit in the number of researchers whose investigations focus exclusively on peripheral vascular disease and this T32 training program is designed to train basic scientists, engineers, and clinicians who can advance the science and create new therapies for PVD. This application requests continued support for a multidisciplinary and collaborative program that co-trains young physician/scientists and PhDs with an interest in vascular disease. The overall goal of the proposed “Vascular Surgery Research Training Program” is to provide comprehensive research training to scientists who are strongly motivated to develop a career in vascular surgery and vascular research. The program provides trainees with multiple opportunities for research activities in broad areas of vascular biology, drug development and delivery, and health services research. The program also fosters 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) for selected surgical residents interested in vascular surgery, provide training in the conduct of basic, translational or health services research through participation in an individualized mentoring program, 2) develop physician-scientists and leaders in academic surgery with expertise in vascular research, 3) expand the pool of surgeon-scientists with comprehensive training in health services research, 4) expand the pool of PhD scientists who will devote their careers to vascular related research, and 5) foster an environment of collaboration between clinician-scientists and PhDs that enhances the breadth of vascular research. The program includes a pool of outstanding extramurally funded trainers from a variety of vascular- related disciplines including surgery, population health, regenerative medicine, pathology and engineering. The program has had tremendous success over its initial four years. Interest in the program has been robust with the ratio of able applicants to those accepted of over 12:1. All of the trainees have had a robust research experience working closely with a collaborative research team. Four trainees have completed the program and are continuing their training in environments that will fasciliate their continued success in developing an independent academic career with a focus on vascular disease. An additional four are currently appointed. Trainees have demonstrated tremendous productivity as evidenced by publications and national presentations. We feel that this program over time will contribute greatly to the work force of able researchers that will make transformative discoveries in the field of vascular disease. We therefore request continued funding for an additional five years and an increase in the positions from 4 to 6.

项目摘要/摘要 心血管疾病仍然是美国死亡和发病的主要原因。的增长 未来20年，老龄化人口将显著增加外周血管疾病的发病率 疾病(PVD)导致对诊断、预防和治疗的新选择的巨大需求。有一个 仅关注外周血管研究的研究人员数量相对不足 此T32培训计划旨在培训基础科学家、工程师和临床医生 推动科学进步，创造治疗PVD的新方法。此应用程序请求继续支持 多学科协作计划，共同培养感兴趣的年轻医生/科学家和博士 在血管疾病方面。 拟议的“血管外科研究培训计划”的总体目标是提供 对有志于在血管领域发展的科学家进行全面的研究培训 外科手术和血管研究。该计划为学员提供了多种研究机会 在血管生物学、药物开发和给药以及卫生服务研究等广泛领域开展活动。这个 该计划还促进了知识、能力、技能、专业态度和经验的发展 在美国国立卫生研究院资助的独立研究中成功从事学术生涯所必需的。这一行动的具体目标 计划是：1)为选定的对血管外科感兴趣的外科住院医师，提供进行的培训 通过参与个性化的指导计划，对基础、翻译或健康服务研究进行培训， 2)培养具有血管研究专业知识的内科科学家和学术外科领军人物，3)扩大 在卫生服务研究方面受过全面培训的外科医生-科学家队伍，4)扩大人才队伍 将致力于血管相关研究的博士科学家，以及5)培养一种 临床医生、科学家和博士之间的合作，提高了血管研究的广度。 该计划包括一批优秀的外部资助培训师，他们来自各种血管- 相关学科包括外科、人口健康、再生医学、病理学和工程学。这个 该计划在最初的四年中取得了巨大的成功。人们对该项目的兴趣一直很旺盛 有能力的申请者与被录取的人的比例超过12：1。所有的实习生都进行了强有力的研究 有与合作研究团队密切合作的经验。已有四名学员完成了该计划， 继续在环境中进行培训，这些环境将使他们在开发 独立的学术生涯，专注于血管疾病。目前还任命了另外四名成员。 出版物和国家情况介绍证明，受训人员表现出了巨大的生产力。 我们认为，随着时间的推移，这一计划将极大地促进有能力的研究人员的工作，使 血管疾病领域的变革性发现。因此，我们要求继续提供资金，用于 增加五年，职位从4个增加到6个。
