Project Summary This is a new application for a short term (summer, 10 week) training program in cardiovascular science for under-represented, undergraduate scholars. We propose a unique training experience that builds upon existing collaboration with a core group of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA) that seeks to create a new paradigm promoting the pathway to health science careers and aspirational life choices for a cadre of under-represented undergraduate scholars. The proposed program provides an intellectually, socially and culturally rewarding experience to engage scholars at multiple levels. We leverage the expertise Vanderbilt University to cultivate academic knowledge and research skills and AHA/ASA's public health leadership position to provide an integrated training program against a social determinants of health backdrop. We will provide a 10 week research intensive immersion for a cadre of 10 students, expanding to 15 in years 4 and 5. We have a pool of distinguished mentors with diverse interests related to cardiovascular science and disease. The leadership team is composed of senior individuals with overlapping expertise in cardiovascular disease, mentoring, and community engagement. In addition to an intense, mentored research experience in the area of cardiovascular science, we will offer unique perspectives and resources, provide a productive framework to fully understand health inequities, and foster invaluable connections among scholars and their mentors and communities. We posit that students on the path to professions in science, medicine, healthcare or public policy must also be trained on real-life community engagement and cultural competency. They must be aware and knowledgeable of the forces shaping the health disparities so prevalent in the nation, in addition to the social determinants of health that determine the nature and severity of those disparities. Our overall goal is ambitious and innovative; we seek to create a cadre of students that will ultimately become the integrators needed to connect science and systems of health care with underrepresented communities through their academic and professional credentials, ability to build and retain trust, and cultural competence skills. We will fulfill this vision through: an intensive academic research and training immersion experience, with mentoring as a central component; regular opportunities to interact with their peers and acquire the core values of collaboration, teamwork and personal enrichment; and exposure to AHA/ASA initiatives targeted to address health inequities through public awareness, education, policy and social change. Together, we will thus provide an exciting and comprehensive experience to minority scholars poised to make career-defining, life-changing decisions with future implications for the biological, behavioral, and social determinants of health across the nation.

项目摘要 这是一个新的申请短期（夏季，10周）培训计划，在心血管科学， 代表性不足的本科生学者我们提出了一个独特的培训经验，建立在现有的 与历史上黑人学院和大学（HBCU）和美国心脏的核心小组合作 协会/美国中风协会（AHA/阿萨），旨在创造一个新的范式，促进 为代表性不足的本科生干部提供健康科学职业和理想生活选择的途径 学者拟议的计划提供了一个智力，社会和文化有益的经验， 在多个层次上吸引学者。我们利用范德比尔特大学的专业知识， 知识和研究技能以及AHA/阿萨的公共卫生领导地位，以提供综合培训 针对健康背景的社会决定因素的方案。我们将提供为期10周的密集研究 为10名学生提供沉浸式教学，在第四年和第五年扩大到15名。我们有一群杰出的导师 对心血管科学和疾病有着广泛的兴趣。领导团队由资深 在心血管疾病、指导和社区参与方面具有重叠专业知识的个人。在 除了在心血管科学领域的密集，指导研究经验，我们将提供独特的 观点和资源，提供一个富有成效的框架，以充分了解卫生不公平现象， 促进学者及其导师和社区之间的宝贵联系。我们鼓励学生 在通往科学、医学、医疗保健或公共政策专业的道路上， 社区参与和文化能力。他们必须意识到并了解 除了健康的社会决定因素外， 确定这些差异的性质和严重程度。我们的总体目标是雄心勃勃和创新的;我们寻求 培养一批学生，他们最终将成为连接科学和 卫生保健系统与代表性不足的社区，通过其学术和专业 证书，建立和保持信任的能力，以及文化能力技能。我们将通过以下方式实现这一愿景： 密集的学术研究和培训沉浸式体验，以指导为核心组成部分; 定期与同行互动的机会，并获得合作，团队合作和 个人丰富;以及通过公共卫生服务， 认识、教育、政策和社会变革。因此，我们将共同提供一个令人兴奋和全面的 经验，少数民族学者准备作出职业定义，改变生活的决定与未来的影响 为全国健康的生物、行为和社会决定因素。
