Hypertension and Cardiorenal Diseases Research Training Program

项目摘要 密西西比大学医学中心的心血管研究历史悠久 （UMMC）。大部分研究都是在生理学系进行的，他们的努力是 旨在开发心血管和肾脏系统的定量和综合分析。在 此外，UMMC还扩大了对高血压和心肾疾病的基础和临床研究 在各个部门和方案，如药理学，生物化学，神经科学，医学， 内分泌学、急诊医学、妇产科。UMMC也作为考试 杰克逊心脏研究中心，主要关注非裔美国人的心血管疾病。 UMMC还参与了几项主要的临床试验，如ALLHAT。因此，UMMC有一个 心血管疾病基础、临床和人群研究项目的多样性。的主要目标 多学科高血压和肾脏疾病研究（HCDR）培训计划是招募， 培训和指导高血压、心血管和肾脏疾病的博士前和博士后学生 研究，使他们成为该领域的下一代研究人员。为了实现这一目标， UMMC的肾血管研究中心（CRRC）继续提供刺激和富有成效的 为博士前和博士后学生提供指导环境。HCDR培训计划不仅 利用了一个强大的基础科学和临床研究人员在该领域的专业知识， UMMC的心血管和肾脏研究，以及这些既定实验室提供的资源 以及中车核心设施。 延长培训补助金的具体目的如下： 1.培养博士预科生（3）在课程工作和研究的多学科方法 高血压和心血管肾病研究的机会。 2.为博士后研究生（6名）提供高血压和高血压相关的多学科培训和指导， 心血管肾病研究 3.招募，培训和保留少数民族高血压和高血压领域的博士前和博士后学生， 心血管-肾脏疾病研究。 继续资助UMMC的HCDR培训计划将提高学员的质量和数量 在这个多学科的计划，大大提高了我们的能力，培养下一代生物医学 从事高血压和心肾疾病研究的科学家。

Project Summary There has been a long history of cardiovascular research at the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC). Much of this research has been conducted in the Department of Physiology where their efforts are directed toward developing a quantitative and integrated analysis of the cardiovascular and renal systems. In addition both basic and clinical research on hypertension and cardio-renal diseases at UMMC have expanded in various departments and programs such as Pharmacology, Biochemistry, Neurosciences, Medicine, Endocrinology, Emergency Medicine, and Obstetrics and Gynecology. UMMC also serves as the Examination Center for the Jackson Heart Study that has a major focus on cardiovascular disease in African Americans. UMMC has also been a participant is several major clinical trials such as ALLHAT. Thus, UMMC has a diversity of basic, clinical, and population research programs in cardiovascular diseases. The main objective of the multidisciplinary Hypertension and Cardiorenal Diseases Research (HCDR) Training Program is to recruit, train, and mentor pre-doctoral and postdoctoral students in hypertension and cardiovascular and renal research so that they become the next generation of researchers in this field. To achieve this goal the Cardiovascular–Renal Research Center (CRRC) at UMMC continues to provide a stimulating and productive mentoring environment for pre-doctoral and postdoctoral students. The HCDR Training Program not only capitalizes on the expertise of a strong group of basic science and clinical investigators in the field of cardiovascular and renal research at UMMC but also the resources provided by these established laboratories and the CRRC core facilities. The specific aims of this training grant renewal are as follows: 1. To train pre-doctoral students (3) in a multi-disciplinary approach in course work and research opportunities in hypertension and cardiovascular-renal disease research. 2. To provide postdoctoral students (6) multi-disciplinary training and mentoring in hypertension and cardiovascular-renal disease research 3. To recruit, train, and retain minority pre-doctoral and postdoctoral students in hypertension and cardiovascular-renal diseases research. Continued funding of the HCDR training program at UMMC would increase the quality and quantity of trainees in this multi-disciplinary program and greatly enhance our ability to train the next generation of biomedical scientists in hypertension and cardio-renal diseases research.
