Project Summary We offer a comprehensive 2-year multidisciplinary training program in cardiovascular epidemiology (CVE) for MDs and PhDs to pursue an academic and scientific research career addressing contemporary training needs of the specialty. The program goals are: 1. to graduate five postdoctoral scholars every two years in three CVE research tracks: clinical translational epidemiology, statistical genetics-genomics, and bioinformatics-computational biology, among whom at least 20% underrepresented group (URG) members and 50% women are included; and 2. to provide career and professional developmental support for scholars to transition to independence, faculty status or a first job in academe or industry. To achieve these goals, we offer the following specific aims: (1) Provide broad rigorous multidisciplinary competency-based learner-centered education in approaches to CVE research. We have developed a cross-track curriculum intended to assure that our scholars develop foundational and functional skills to conduct CVE research successfully, including skills in scientific communication (writing scientific manuscripts and grants, oral presentations), and research design and management. We train scholars in the responsible conduct of research with rigor and reproducibility, team science, leadership and self-management. Our training program offers requisite coursework (customized to scholars' past training levels and career goals), attendance at a broad range of seminars and workshops, interactions with outstanding faculty mentors with expertise in translational research, participation in programs aimed at multidisciplinary collaborations, and customized internships (including in industry). Team-based learning approaches include participation of scholars in journal clubs, “Work-in-Progress” sessions, discussion forums, and a scholar exchange program; (2) Feature carefully planned and personalized mentored research projects for each scholar — under the direction of an established NIH- or NSF-funded investigator with extensive expertise in one of the three training tracks — resulting in scholarship, presentation at national meetings, and peer-reviewed publications. Our program leverages extensive epidemiological cohort databases that scholars can easily access; (3) Impart authentic robust career mentorship using an individualized development plan to ensure transition to a career development award and/or initial job placement in academe or industry; (4) Afford strong developmental support to recruit and retain our scholars, especially URG, women and those with disabilities; and (5) Evaluate program processes and monitor outcomes to implement continuous improvement. Overall, we have designed our training program to prepare the future world leaders in CVE research.

项目摘要 我们提供为期2年的心血管流行病学（CVE）综合多学科培训计划， 医学博士和博士追求学术和科学研究生涯，满足当代培训需求 的专业。 该计划的目标是：1。每两年有五名博士后学者在三个CVE研究中毕业 临床转化流行病学、统计遗传学-基因组学和生物信息学-计算 生物学，其中至少包括20%的代表性不足群体成员和50%的妇女; 和2.为学者向独立过渡提供职业和专业发展支持， 教师身份或第一份工作在企业或行业。 为了实现这些目标，我们提出了以下具体目标： (1)提供广泛、严格、多学科、以能力为基础、以学习者为中心的教育， CVE研究。我们已经开发了一个跨轨道的课程，旨在确保我们的学者发展 成功进行CVE研究的基础和功能技能，包括科学技能 交流（撰写科学手稿和赠款，口头报告），研究设计和 管理我们培养学者在研究的严谨性和可重复性，团队负责任的行为 科学、领导力和自我管理。我们的培训计划提供必要的课程（定制， 学者过去的培训水平和职业目标），参加各种研讨会和讲习班， 与具有翻译研究专业知识的优秀教师导师互动，参与项目 旨在多学科合作和定制实习（包括在工业界）。基于团队 学习方法包括学者参加期刊俱乐部，“工作进展”会议，讨论 论坛和学者交流计划; (2)为每位学者精心策划和个性化指导的研究项目-根据 一个既定的NIH或NSF资助的研究人员的指导，在三个培训之一具有广泛的专业知识 轨道-导致奖学金，在国家会议上发言，和同行评审的出版物。我们 该计划利用学者可以轻松访问的广泛的流行病学队列数据库; (3)使用个性化的发展计划，传授真正强大的职业指导，以确保过渡到 职业发展奖和/或在企业或行业的初步工作安排; (4)提供强有力的发展支持，以招募和留住我们的学者，特别是URG，妇女和 残疾人;以及 (5)评估项目过程并监控结果以实现持续改进。 总的来说，我们已经设计了我们的培训计划，以准备未来的世界领导者在CVE研究。
