DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): It is postulated that the resolution of the problem of ethnic disparities in the burden of cardiovascular diseases will require a concerted, multi-disciplinary approach that includes investigators and practitioners dedicated to serving ethnic populations within their communities. This proposal seeks to establish a community-oriented Cardiovascular Disease Preventive Intervention Research Program (CPIP) at the Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM). This program is an essential step towards establishing a comprehensive research center of excellence in cardiovascular science that achieves the inter-disciplinary integration of basic science, clinical investigation and population-based research that is necessary to redress the problem of ethnic disparities in cardiovascular health. The long-term scientific objectives of the proposed program are two-fold: 1) to discover the etiologic basis for ethnic and geographic disparities in cardiovascular disease in the United States and 2) to pursue research that generates innovative, community-based preventive intervention programs that will reduce or eliminate these disparities. A complementary educational objective of the CPIP is to nurture the development of the next generation of cardiovascular investigators with a particular emphasis on expanding the ethnic and gender diversity of the research community. The primary objective of Phase I is to recruit a Program Director of the CPIP with a track record of scientific excellence in population-based cardiovascular science. The specific aims of Phase I are: To establish the administrative and search committee structure necessary to implement an effective recruitment plan for the CPIP Program Director. To establish an External Advisory Board composed of scientific leaders in cardiovascular research that will provide consultative input on the programmatic development of the CPIP and identification of the CPIP Program Director. To enhance a novel integrative approach to cardiovascular disease-related research by facilitating institution-wide, multi-disciplinary research collaborations within the MSM community as well as our regional partners.

描述(由申请人提供)： 据推测，解决心血管疾病负担方面的族裔差异问题将需要采取协调一致的多学科方法，其中包括致力于为其社区内的族裔人口服务的调查人员和从业人员。这项建议寻求在莫尔豪斯医学院(MSM)建立一个面向社区的心血管疾病预防干预研究计划(CPIP)。这一计划是朝着建立心血管科学综合卓越研究中心迈出的重要一步，该中心实现了基础科学、临床研究和基于人群的研究的跨学科整合，这对于解决心血管健康中的种族差异问题是必要的。拟议计划的长期科学目标有两个：1)发现美国心血管疾病种族和地理差异的病因学基础；2)开展研究，产生创新的、以社区为基础的预防干预计划，以减少或消除这些差异。CPIP的一个补充教育目标是培养下一代心血管研究人员的发展，特别强调扩大研究界的种族和性别多样性。第一阶段的主要目标是招聘一名CPIP的项目主任，该项目在以人群为基础的心血管科学方面拥有卓越的科学记录。第一阶段的具体目标是： 建立必要的行政和搜索委员会结构，以实施CPIP方案主任的有效招聘计划。 建立一个由心血管研究领域的科学领袖组成的外部咨询委员会，该委员会将为CPIP的规划发展和CPIP项目主任的确定提供咨询意见。 通过促进MSM社区以及我们的地区合作伙伴内的机构范围内的多学科研究合作，加强心血管疾病相关研究的新的综合方法。
