Noninvasive Cardiovascular Imaging Research Training Program

心血管疾病是美国发病率和死亡率的主要原因 以及世界范围内。非侵入性成像提供了有价值的信息来评估 诊断和指导管理。然而，以学术为导向的简历存在差距。 能够利用知识库培训专家的成像培训计划， 经验、研究工具、分析和领导技能，以充分开发、应用和评估 CV成像可能性的范围越来越复杂。这是第二届大赛 此T32计划的续订申请。该项目提供博士后研究培训 拥有医学博士学位或医学博士学位，并已完成临床培训的个人 心脏病学、放射学或心血管成像，致力于在心血管领域追求学术生涯 影像科学。我们的目标是继续为多方面提供卓越的机会 为临床医生和科学家提供心血管成像方面的学科研究培训 建立独立事业、指导他人和领导自己的调查技能 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。钥匙 这一年轻计划成效的指标包括：(1)15/16的毕业生仍留在 参与学术医学和科学，其中一人正在完成额外的临床培训； (2)2年前完成项目的研究员中，有8/10获得了同行评议资助 由美国国立卫生研究院、弗吉尼亚州或ACC提供。在过去两年的6名毕业生中，有1人获得了ACC指导 其中一个获得了北美放射学会的赠款资助，另一个刚刚获得 提交了一个K奖；(3)该赠款在顶级同行评议中赞助了133种独特的出版物 期刊；(4)我们50%的毕业生在各自的成像项目中担任领导职务， 38%的人在专业组织和其他组织中担任重要的领导职务。我们的 导师主要由心脏病专家和放射科医生组成，但也包括来自 心血管成像以外的学科，包括临床和基础科学家。所有的导师都有一个 良好的研究合作记录。我们在8个月提供研究培训机会 主题领域：(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)结果研究，(6)缺血性心脏病，(7) 妇女健康，(8)放射组学和人工智能。建议的计划支持3个 职位/年，用于两年的继续研究培训。通过这次更新，我们继续我们的 未来在学术心血管成像和培训方面提供领导力的主要目标 影像科学的领导者，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.
