Noninvasive Cardiovascular Imaging Research Training Program

心血管（CV）疾病是美国发病率和死亡率的主要原因 和世界各地。非侵入性成像提供了有价值的信息，以评估差异 诊断和指导管理。然而，在学术导向的简历中存在差距 成像培训计划，能够培训专家的知识基础， 经验，研究工具，分析和领导技能，以充分发展，应用和评估 CV成像可能性的日益复杂的色域。这是第二次竞争 这是T32计划的更新申请。该计划提供博士后研究培训， 具有医学博士或医学博士/博士学位的个人，已完成以下方面的临床培训： 心脏病学，放射学或CV成像谁致力于追求CV学术生涯 成像科学我们的目标是继续提供优秀的机会，多- 为临床医生-科学家提供CV成像方面的学科研究培训， 调查技能，以建立独立的职业生涯，指导他人，并领导自己的 程序.自2010年首次资助以来，我们已经毕业了16名博士后研究员。关键 这一年轻方案的有效性指标包括：（1）15/16的毕业生留在 参与学术医学和科学，一个正在完成额外的临床培训; (2)8/10的研究员谁完成了该计划2012年前已收到同行评审的资金 在过去两年的6名毕业生中，有一名接受了ACC的指导。 一个获得了北美放射学会的资助，另一个刚刚获得 提交了一个K奖;（3）该基金资助了133个独特的出版物在顶级同行评审 期刊;（4）50%的毕业生在各自的成像计划中担任领导角色， 38%的人在专业组织和其他组织中担任重要领导角色。我们 导师主要由心脏病专家和放射科医生组成，但也包括来自 CV成像以外的学科，包括临床和基础科学家。所有的导师都有 良好的研究合作记录。我们提供8个研究培训机会 专题领域：（1）分子成像，（2）心肌结构、功能和代谢，（3） 遗传学，（4）肺动脉高压，（5）结局研究，（6）缺血性心脏病，（7） 妇女健康，（8）放射组学和人工智能。计划支持3 职位/年，为期两年的持续研究培训。通过这次更新，我们继续我们的 在学术心血管成像和培训未来提供领导的主要目标 成像科学的领导者，以改善心血管疾病的结果。

Cardiovascular (CV) disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the US and worldwide. Non-invasive imaging provides valuable information to assess differential diagnosis and guide management. However, there is a gap in academically-oriented CV imaging training programs that are able to train specialists with the knowledge base, experience, research tools, analytical and leadership skills to fully develop, apply, and evaluate the increasingly complex gamut of CV imaging possibilities. This is the second competing renewal application for this T32 program. This program offers post-doctoral research training for individuals with an MD, or combined MD/PhD degrees, who have completed clinical training in cardiology, radiology, or CV imaging who are committed to pursuing an academic career in CV imaging science. Our goal is to continue to provide outstanding opportunities for multi- disciplinary research training for clinician-scientists in CV imaging with the clinical and investigative skills to establish independent careers, mentor others, and lead their own programs. Since initial funding in 2010, we have graduated 16 post-doctoral fellows. Key indicators of the effectiveness of this young program include: (1) 15/16 graduates remain involved in academic medicine and science, and one is completing additional clinical training; (2) 8/10 fellows who completed the program 2 years ago have received peer reviewed funding by NIH, VA, or ACC. Of the 6 graduates from the last 2 years, one received an ACC mentored award, one received grant funding from the Radiological Society of North America, and one just submitted a K award; (3) the grant has sponsored 133 unique publications in top peer review journals; (4) 50% of our graduates hold leadership roles in their respective imaging programs, and 38% have prominent leadership roles in professional organizations and others. Our mentors are primarily comprised of cardiologists and radiologists, but also include faculty from disciplines outside CV imaging including clinical and basic scientists. All the mentors have a strong track record of research collaborations. We offer research training opportunities in 8 thematic areas: (1) molecular imaging, (2) myocardial structure, function, and metabolism, (3) genetics, (4) pulmonary hypertension, (5) outcomes research, (6) ischemic heart disease, (7) women's health, (8) radiomics and artificial intelligence. The proposed program supports 3 positions/year for two years of continued research training. With this renewal, we continue our primary goals of providing leadership in academic cardiovascular imaging and training future leaders in imaging science to improve outcomes in cardiovascular disease.
