ABSTRACT This application is for a research training grant focused on training the next generation of academic cardiac and thoracic surgeons. Given the current and future shortage of cardiothoracic surgeons, the extremely diverse clinical activities, and broad array of conditions treated by cardiac and thoracic surgeons, an NIH T32 training program in cardiothoracic surgery is an emergent unmet need to improve the cardiothoracic surgical workforce. The necessary resources to support this mission is largely dictated by the capacity for initial research training mid-way through the residency-fellowship training continuum. The proposed program leverages the experience and framework of our successful ACGME accredited six year Integrated Thoracic Training Program, the research and mentoring expertise of our Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery faculty, and the infrastructure of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine (UPSOM) and UPMC Health System, to create a new T32 program in cardiothoracic surgery. The proposed T32 program will provide a strong foundation of training in research, serving leadership, and collaborative partnerships during residency training, which will help to establish and promote successful independent career paths in academic cardiothoracic surgery. The proposed T32 program will increase the pool of investigators who will be competitive for independent K- and R- awards as faculty. This program will achieve the following specific goals: 1) Provide a stable and supportive infrastructure of research training for academic cardiothoracic surgeons; 2) Recruit and select promising scholars and monitor their initial, ongoing, and long-term successes; 3) Coordinate faculty mentoring and training of cardiothoracic surgeons to provide a curated and individualized didactic curriculum and hands-on training that specifically addresses the unique concerns of cardiothoracic surgery; 4) Leverage internal UPSOM, UPMC, and other institutional resources in trainee-specific training plans; 5) Promote an inclusive culture at all levels through diversity training and community outreach to recruit under-represented minority candidates to cardiothoracic surgery; 6) Provide structured training in leadership, partnership and research program establishment during and beyond the period of support to position trainees for launching successful independent academic careers. In the long-term, the proposed T32 program will increase the number of academic cardiothoracic surgeons and will help to promote a diverse workforce capable of accomplishing the NHLBI’s mission.

摘要 本申请是一项研究培训补助金，重点是培训下一代学术心脏和 胸外科医生鉴于当前和未来心胸外科医生的短缺， 临床活动，以及心脏和胸外科医生治疗的各种疾病，NIH T32培训 计划在心胸外科是一个紧急未满足的需要，以提高心胸外科的劳动力。 支助这一使命的必要资源主要取决于初步研究培训的能力 实习研究金培训的中途。拟议的方案利用了 和我们成功的ACGME认证的六年综合胸科培训计划的框架，研究 和指导我们的心胸外科教师部门的专业知识，和基础设施的 匹兹堡大学医学院（UPSOM）和UPMC卫生系统，创建一个新的T32计划 在心胸外科拟议的T32计划将为研究培训提供坚实的基础， 在住院医师培训期间，服务领导和合作伙伴关系，这将有助于建立和 促进学术心胸外科成功的独立职业道路。T32计划 将增加研究人员谁将是独立的K-和R-奖项的教师竞争力池。这 该计划将实现以下具体目标：1）提供稳定和支持性的研究基础设施 培训学术心胸外科医生; 2）招募和选择有前途的学者，并监测他们的初始， 持续和长期的成功; 3）协调心胸外科医生的教师指导和培训， 提供精心策划和个性化的教学课程和实践培训，专门针对 心胸外科的独特问题; 4）利用内部UPSOM、UPMC和其他机构 5）通过多样性培训在各级促进包容性文化 和社区外展活动，以招募人数不足的少数族裔候选人从事心胸外科手术; 6） 在此期间和之后，对领导力、伙伴关系和研究计划的建立进行结构化培训 支持学员成功开展独立学术生涯。从长远来看， 拟议的T32计划将增加学术心胸外科医生的数量，并将有助于促进 有能力完成NHLBI的使命的多元化劳动力。
