尽管在治疗、行为干预和政策方面取得了实质性进展， 心血管及相关疾病(CVD)仍然是导致老年人死亡的主要原因 美国(美国)每年造成超过78.7万人死亡。长期以来，研究一直是 被认为对全面改善心血管健康和健康至关重要 结果。然而，迫切需要一支训练有素、多样化的研究队伍来建立一个 更广泛、更具创新性和健壮性的证据基础 心血管疾病防治。研究生研究培训计划有 已知是发展一个成功的研究企业的关键因素。迫切需要的是 注重人口的有效、循证的研究生研究培训计划 心血管流行病学怎么夸大都不为过，特别是在不同的群体和 美国心血管疾病负担高得令人无法接受的地区，如密西西比州。我们 因此，建议创建密西西比州研究生培训和教育中心(MSGTEC) 制定、实施和评估为期两年的循证实践计划，以 培训和“指导”来自健康相关领域的不同研究生群体 密西西比州的五所合作学院和大学。MS-GTEC还将推进 研究生和早期职业教师的科学研究、培训和教育 会员。我们的团队带来了心血管流行病学和相关研究的专业知识， 健康差距研究，以及研究培训、教育、 以及对不同学生和早期职业教师的指导，以及对 与密西西比州的学院和大学接触的历史。

Despite substantial advances in treatment, behavioral interventions, and policies, cardiovascular and related diseases (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality in the United States (U.S.) accounting for over 787,000 deaths annually. Research has long been recognized to be crucial to the overall improvement of cardiovascular health and health outcomes. However, a highly-trained, diverse research workforce is sorely needed to build an evidence base that is broader, and more innovative and robust for new approaches to cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment. Graduate research training programs are known to be a key factor in developing a successful research enterprise. The critical need for effective, evidence-based graduate research training programs focused on population cardiovascular epidemiology cannot be overstated, particularly among diverse groups and in regions of the US with an unacceptably high burden of CVD, such as Mississippi. We therefore propose to create the Mississippi Graduate Training and Education Center (MSGTEC) to develop, implement, and evaluate a 2-year evidence-based, hands-on program to train and “coach” a diverse group of graduate students enrolled in health-related fields from five partner colleges and universities in Mississippi. The MS-GTEC will also advance the science of research training and education of graduate students and early career faculty members. Our team brings expertise in cardiovascular epidemiology and related research, health disparities research, and evidence-based approaches in research training, education, and coaching of diverse students and early career faculty, along with a deep familiarity and history of engagement with colleges and universities in Mississippi.
