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 这是心血管科学短期(夏季，10周)培训计划的新申请 代表不足的本科生学者。我们提出了建立在现有基础上的独特培训体验 与历史上的黑人学院和大学(HBCU)和美国之心的核心小组合作 协会/美国中风协会(AHA/ASA)，寻求创建一种新的范式，促进 未被充分代表的本科生干部的健康科学职业道路和理想的人生选择 学者。拟议的计划提供了一种智力、社会和文化方面的有益体验 让多层次的学者参与进来。我们利用范德比尔特大学的专业知识来培养学术 知识和研究技能以及AHA/ASA的公共卫生领导职位，提供综合培训 以健康的社会决定因素为背景的方案。我们将提供为期10周的密集研究 为10名学生提供浸入式培训，在4年级和5年级扩大到15名学生。我们有一批杰出的导师 对心血管科学和疾病有不同的兴趣。领导班子由资深人士组成 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……里面 除了在心血管科学领域的紧张、有指导的研究经验外，我们还将提供独特的 观点和资源，提供了一个富有成效的框架，以充分了解卫生不平等现象，以及 在学者与他们的导师和社区之间建立起宝贵的联系。我们假设学生们 在通往科学、医学、医疗保健或公共政策的职业道路上，也必须接受现实生活中的培训 社区参与度和文化能力。他们必须意识到并了解部队 塑造全国如此普遍的健康差距，除了健康的社会决定因素外， 确定这些差距的性质和严重程度。我们的总体目标是雄心勃勃和创新的；我们寻求 培养一支最终将成为连接科学和技术所需的集成者的学生队伍 通过其学术和专业人员与代表性不足的社区建立卫生保健系统 资历，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体验，以指导为核心组成部分； 定期与同龄人互动，并获得协作、团队合作和 个人财富；以及接触AHA/ASA倡议，旨在通过公共卫生解决健康不平等问题 认识、教育、政策和社会变革。因此，我们将共同努力，提供令人兴奋和全面的 少数族裔学者的经历，准备做出具有未来影响的定义职业生涯、改变人生的决定 关于全国范围内健康的生物、行为和社会决定因素。
