Project Abstract/Summary This T32 proposal is for the support of an interdisciplinary, pre-doctoral training program entitled “Cardiovascular Biomechanics and Mechanobiology Training Program at Emory University and Georgia Tech” (CBT@EmTech). The goal of CBT@EmTech is to develop an innovative graduate program to train the next generation of cardiovascular leaders at the intersection of cardiovascular biomechanics, mechanobiology, medical imaging, computational modeling, medical devices, therapeutics discovery and delivery, and data science to address translationally relevant cardiovascular biomechanics, pathophysiology, therapies, and diagnostics. The Program is built on a long history of ground-breaking research applying biomechanics to the field of cardiovascular disease at Emory and Georgia Tech. The Program leverages our long-standing successes in research and education in cardiovascular biomechanics and medicine across Emory and Georgia Tech. CBT@EmTech trainees will be recruited from an applicant pool of >80 diverse groups of eligible students, including women and underrepresented minorities from the Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) at Georgia Tech and Emory and the Interdisciplinary Bioengineering (BioE) Graduate Program at Georgia Tech. BioE graduate students come from various home Departments, including Electrical and Computer and Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Departments of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Chemistry at Emory. We request support for six students per year over five years to provide two years of support for each student in years 1 and 2 of their PhD program. In addition to the T32-supported positions, two additional students per year will be supported, one by Emory and the other by Georgia Tech, to help further train a diverse group of students. All the trainees will do lab rotations in the first year to select a mentor and co-mentor, one from medicine/biology and the other in engineering/data science, or vice versa, or one from biology/engineering/data science and the other from medicine. This will train and encourage our students to undertake multidisciplinary, collaborative, and translational research. Our trainees will take 1) foundational courses in biosciences, engineering, and data science, 2) integrative biomedical engineering courses, 3) ethics and diversity training, 4) communication and professional development, and 5) the Advanced Seminars in Cardiovascular Biomechanics and Medicine class that include clinical observations. CBT@EmTech will enhance the diversity of the workforce in the cardiovascular biomechanics and disease field and train them to be inclusive leaders. Our trainees from diverse backgrounds are expected to become leaders in addressing unmet translational and clinical needs in cardiovascular biomechanics, pathophysiology, therapies, and diagnostics.

项目摘要/摘要 本T32提案旨在支持一项名为“心血管疾病”的跨学科博士前培训计划。 埃默里大学和格鲁吉亚理工学院的生物力学和机械生物学培训项目”（CBT@EmTech）。 CBT@EmTech的目标是开发一个创新的研究生课程，以培养下一代 心血管生物力学、机械生物学、医学成像、 计算建模、医疗设备、治疗发现和交付以及数据科学， 心血管生物力学、病理生理学、治疗学和诊断学。程序 建立在将生物力学应用于心血管疾病领域的开创性研究的悠久历史之上 在埃默里和格鲁吉亚理工大学该计划利用我们在研究和教育方面的长期成功， 埃默里和格鲁吉亚理工学院的心血管生物力学和医学。CBT@EmTech学员将在 从超过80个不同的合格学生群体中招募，包括妇女和 来自格鲁吉亚理工学院生物医学工程联合系（BME）的代表性不足的少数民族， 埃默里和跨学科生物工程（生物）研究生课程在格鲁吉亚理工学院。BioE毕业生 学生来自不同的家庭部门，包括电气和计算机和机械工程 在格鲁吉亚理工学院和埃默里大学的数学、计算机科学和化学系。我们要求 在五年内每年支助六名学生，在第一年为每名学生提供两年的支助， 2 PhD项目除了T32支持的职位，每年将增加两名学生 一个由埃默里大学支持，另一个由格鲁吉亚理工大学支持，以帮助进一步培训多样化的学生。所有的 学员将在第一年进行实验室轮换，以选择一名导师和一名共同导师，一名来自医学/生物学， 另一个在工程/数据科学，反之亦然，或者一个来自生物学/工程/数据科学，另一个来自生物学/工程/数据科学。 从医学上。这将培养和鼓励我们的学生进行多学科，协作， 翻译研究我们的学员将学习生物科学、工程学和数据方面的基础课程 科学，2）综合生物医学工程课程，3）道德和多样性培训，4）通信和 专业发展，以及5）心血管生物力学和医学高级研讨班 包括临床观察。CBT@EmTech将增强心血管领域劳动力的多样性 生物力学和疾病领域，并培养他们成为包容性的领导者。来自不同背景的学员 有望成为解决心血管领域未满足的转化和临床需求的领导者 生物力学、病理生理学、治疗学和诊断学。
