DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an application to the NIBIB for a "broad-based" post-doctoral training program in cardiovascular imaging. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the US, yet there are unmet needs in detecting and characterizing CVD and monitoring/guiding therapy. There are now a multitude of CV imaging technologies and disciplines involved in CV research, from the molecular to clinical level, requiring a future generation of CV imaging researchers to have multi-disciplinary training. Aim: Provide a multi-disciplinary training program in CV imaging by bringing together trainees and mentors from three core yet complementary areas - engineering, molecular imaging, and clinical imaging - for a structured two-year educational and research program. Trainees: Post-doctoral fellows with either MD or PhD backgrounds from all three of the above areas. Four per year for the first 2 years followed by 6 per year. The goal is to have a balance between MD and PhD trainees and to have them train together over the two-year period. Mentors: There are 16 Stanford faculty mentors who are engaged in technology-based imaging research, with half MD and half PhD and both School of Medicine and School of Engineering well represented, including CV Medicine, Radiology/Radiological Sciences, Electrical Engineering/Bioengineering, and the Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford (MIPS). Training Program: Research - two years of research in CV imaging under a primary mentor with a secondary mentor from a complementary discipline (e.g., MD to complement PhD). Education - Structured program consisting of courses and seminars in 1) Multi-Modality Cardiovascular Imaging, 2) Multi-Disciplinary Innovation, 3) Translational Cardiovascular Imaging, and 4) Research Career Development. Collaboration - A critical component is fostering collaborative multi-disciplnary research via team-based activities to develop ideas and solutions for unmet CV imaging needs. Environment: Stanford has a strong environment of innovation and technology-based cardiovascular imaging research, with NIH-funded programs and facilities in CV Medicine, Radiology/Lucas Center, Electrical Engineering, Bioengineering, and Molecular Imaging. Relevance: Heart disease remains the most serious medical problem in the US, with imaging a critical method to detect disease. However, imaging technology has become more sophisticated and complex. This program is designed to train a new generation of cardiovascular imaging researchers who can excel in this multi-disciplinary area by bringing together trainees from both engineering and medicine for advanced research and education

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一个申请到NIBIB的“基础广泛”的心血管成像博士后培训计划。心血管疾病（CVD）仍然是美国发病率和死亡率的主要原因，但在检测和表征CVD以及监测/指导治疗方面存在未满足的需求。现在有许多CV成像技术和学科涉及CV研究，从分子到临床水平，需要下一代CV成像研究人员进行多学科培训。目的：通过汇集来自三个核心但互补领域-工程，分子成像和临床成像-的学员和导师，提供CV成像的多学科培训计划，为期两年的结构化教育和研究计划。受训人员：具有上述三个领域的MD或PhD背景的博士后研究员。头两年每年4次，然后每年6次。我们的目标是在MD和PhD学员之间保持平衡，并让他们在两年的时间里一起培训。 导师：有16位斯坦福大学的教师导师从事基于技术的成像研究，其中一半是医学博士，一半是博士，医学院和工程学院都有很好的代表性，包括CV医学，放射学/放射科学，电气工程/生物工程，以及斯坦福大学的分子成像计划（MIPS）。 培训计划：研究-在主要导师的指导下进行两年的CV成像研究， 来自互补学科的二级导师（例如，博士补充博士）。教育-结构化计划包括1）多模态心血管成像，2）多学科创新，3）转化心血管成像和4）研究职业发展的课程和研讨会。协作-一个关键的组成部分是通过基于团队的活动促进多学科协作研究，为未满足的CV成像需求开发想法和解决方案。 环境：斯坦福大学拥有强大的创新环境和以科技为本的心血管 影像学研究，在CV医学，放射学/卢卡斯中心， 电气工程、生物工程和分子成像。 相关性：心脏病仍然是美国最严重的医疗问题，成像是关键的 检测疾病的方法。然而，成像技术已经变得更加精密和复杂。该计划旨在培养新一代的心血管成像研究人员谁可以在这个多学科领域的优秀汇集学员从工程和医学先进的研究和教育
