项目摘要

Cleveland State University (CSU), together with the Lerner Research Institute (LRI) of the Cleveland Clinic, are submitting “CD-Cavs: Cross-Disciplinary Cardiovascular Sciences Training Program to Diversify the STEM workforce”. Its purpose is to train pre-doctoral students from all backgrounds under-represented in the STEM workforce, thus helping address unacceptably low participation of these populations in STEM careers. CSU is an urban university with a vision to be “a student-focused center of scholarly excellence that provides an accessible, engaged and exceptional education to all”. Of CSU’s undergraduates, 39.6% are Pell eligible, with 22% under-represented minorities (URM). CSU serves the most diverse student body of any non- historically black university in Ohio. Cleveland, with its abundance of biomedical and academic health institutions along the Health-Tech Corridor, is an attractive destination for students interested in STEM and healthcare. Within this healthcare landscape, CSU’s partnership with LRI provides a rich training environment: with LRI’s exceptional NIH-funded cardiovascular research and strong mentoring history, complemented by centers of excellence at CSU, such as GRHD, the Center for Gene Regulation in Health and Disease, and CHMS, the Center for Human Machine Systems. CD-Cavs will expand upon this robust partnership with LRI by bringing under its umbrella, the 3 joint CSU:LRI Ph.D. programs: Regulatory Biology, Clinical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, in the College of Sciences and Health Professions, (COSHP) and Applied Biomedical Engineering in the Washkewicz College of Engineering (WCOE). Underrepresented students, exclusively, will be recruited through TRIO McNair Scholar programs, through joint marketing with LRI at national conferences, such as Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS), and through CSU student organizations such as Scientista, National Society of Black Engineers, and Society of Women Engineers. Nineteen faculty from CSU, plus 18 from LRI will serve as mentors, with each CD-Cavs trainee supported by one CSU and one LRI mentor. CD-Cavs will be the first T32 Training Program in Cleveland devoted exclusively to support of under-represented pre-doctoral students. We request support for 5 pre-doctoral students in each of the 5 years of CD-Cavs funding, to be supported for 2-2.5 years subsequent to passing their candidacy exam.The breadth of research training encompasses translational control of gene expression, susceptibility genes in complex diseases, aging and the circadian clock, blood coagulation disorders, inflammatory mechanisms in atherosclerosis and asthma, pulmonary hypertension, human-robot systems in rehabilitation, 3D-bioprinting on micro-pillar chips, remote patient monitoring, and tissue matrix engineering. This unique cross-disciplinary training will be enriched by a clinical immersion experience at the Cleveland Clinic, by Student-Mentor Discussion Groups, a Cardiovascular Sciences Seminar series, Cardiology Grand Rounds, plus multiple support mechanisms from CSU’s Graduate Student Resource Center. !

克利夫兰州立大学 (CSU) 与克利夫兰诊所的勒纳研究所 (LRI) 一起，提交“CD-Cavs：跨学科心血管科学培训计划，以使 STEM 多样化劳动力”。其目的是培训来自各种背景的博士前学生。 STEM 劳动力，从而帮助解决这些人群在 STEM 职业中的参与度低得令人无法接受的问题。科罗拉多州立大学是一所城市大学，其愿景是成为“以学生为中心的卓越学术中心，提供为所有人提供方便、参与和卓越的教育”。在科罗拉多州立大学的本科生中，39.6% 符合佩尔资格， 22% 的少数族裔代表性不足 (URM)。科罗拉多州立大学为非公立大学中最多元化的学生群体提供服务俄亥俄州历史上的黑人大学。克利夫兰拥有丰富的生物医学和学术健康资源健康科技走廊沿线的机构，对于对 STEM 感兴趣的学生来说是一个有吸引力的目的地卫生保健。在这个医疗保健领域，科罗拉多州立大学与 LRI 的合作提供了丰富的培训环境：凭借 LRI 卓越的 NIH 资助的心血管研究和强大的指导历史，辅以科罗拉多州立大学的卓越中心，例如 GRHD、健康与疾病基因调控中心，以及 CHMS，人机系统中心。 CD-Cavs 将通过以下方式扩大与 LRI 的牢固合作关系：将 3 个 CSU:LRI 联合博士纳入其保护范围内。课程：调节生物学、临床和生物分析科学与健康专业学院 (COSHP) 化学和应用生物医学工程在沃什克维奇工程学院（WCOE）。将专门招募代表性不足的学生通过 TRIO McNair Scholar 计划，通过在国家会议上与 LRI 联合营销，例如少数民族学生年度生物医学研究会议 (ABRCMS)，并通过科罗拉多州立大学学生科学家协会、全国黑人工程师协会和女工程师协会等组织。来自科罗拉多州立大学的 19 名教职人员和来自 LRI 的 18 名教职人员将担任导师，每位 CD-Cavs 受训人员都将得到以下人员的支持一名科罗拉多州立大学和一名 LRI 导师。 CD-Cavs 将是克利夫兰的第一个 T32 训练计划专门用于支持代表性不足的博士前学生。我们请求支持 5 名博士生每年获得 CD-Cavs 资助的 5 年学生，将在通过后获得 2-2.5 年的支持他们的候选资格考试。研究培训的广度包括基因表达的翻译控制，复杂疾病、衰老和生物钟、凝血障碍、动脉粥样硬化和哮喘的炎症机制、肺动脉高压、人机系统康复、微柱芯片上的 3D 生物打印、远程患者监测和组织基质工程。克利夫兰临床浸入式体验将丰富这种独特的跨学科培训临床，由学生导师讨论组，心血管科学研讨会系列，心脏病学大轮次，以及科罗拉多州立大学研究生资源中心的多种支持机制。！
