PROJECT SUMMARY The multidisciplinary T32 postdoctoral training program in Cardiovascular Imaging at Stanford (CVIS) is designed to train the next generation of cardiovascular imaging investigators by exposing them to three complementary areas – clinical, engineering, and molecular imaging. With the rise in the impact of cardiovascular disease on U.S. and world health and the rapid advances in imaging technologies and cardiovascular biology, it is critical that the trainees be provided a broad, multidisciplinary and collaborative training program to foster their ability to translate cardiovascular imaging research into clinical applications. The program goals include rigorous training in the scientific method, critical analysis, logical reasoning and independent thinking in a highly collaborative setting. Trainees develop a focused area of cardiovascular imaging research expertise and exposure to a wide range of complementary research techniques. Mentors model collegial and productive collaboration, provide guidance in oral and written communication and instill respect for the responsible conduct of research. The program proposes to continue training 4 postdoctoral fellows in multidisciplinary cardiovascular imaging research. Fellows are appointed to the CVIS T32 annually, with a strong encouragement to seek their own funding for additional years as part of the skills imparted by the program. Eighteen trainees so far have benefited from this program, including 7 women and 2 underrepresented minorities. Three fellows are currently in training. Evaluations from the trainees suggest a high degree of satisfaction with the program. Many of the past trainees have gone on to become independent researchers in premier academic institutions and in industry. The Program is directed by Joseph Wu, MD, PhD (Contact PI), Professor of Radiology and Cardiovascular Medicine and Director of the Stanford Cardiovascular Institute (CVI); John Pauly, PhD, Professor of Electrical Engineering; and Koen Nieman, MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Radiology and Medicine (Cardiology) at Stanford University. Administrative and program management support is provided by a dedicated team of educators in the Stanford CVI. An Internal Advisory Board consisting of senior Stanford faculty from a broad range of disciplines and an External Advisory Board consisting of leading experts in cardiovascular imaging research in the U.S. play a vital role in monitoring the progress of this training program, providing ongoing support and advice as needed. The overarching goal of the program is to train the next generation of investigators with expertise in advanced cardiovascular imaging technology, dedicated to identifying innovative solutions, and capable of translating basic research into clinical success.

项目摘要 斯坦福大学（CVIS）心血管成像的多学科T32博士后培训计划旨在 培训下一代心血管成像研究人员， 领域-临床，工程和分子成像。随着心血管疾病影响的增加， 美国以及成像技术和心血管生物学的快速发展， 为受训人员提供广泛的、多学科的和协作的培训方案，以培养他们的能力， 将心血管成像研究转化为临床应用。该计划的目标包括严格的培训 在科学方法上，批判性分析、逻辑推理和独立思考具有高度的协同性 设置.学员发展心血管成像研究专业知识的重点领域，并接触广泛的 一系列互补的研究技术。导师示范学院和富有成效的协作，提供 指导口头和书面交流，并灌输尊重负责任的研究行为。的 计划建议继续培养4名多学科心血管成像博士后研究员 research.研究员被任命为CVIS T32每年，强烈鼓励寻求自己的 作为该计划传授的技能的一部分，为额外的几年提供资金。迄今已有18名学员受益 包括7名妇女和2名代表不足的少数民族。三名研究员目前正在接受培训。 受训人员的评价表明，对该方案的满意度很高。许多过去的学员 已经成为一流学术机构和行业的独立研究人员。程序 由Joseph Wu，MD，PhD（联系PI），放射学和心血管医学教授指导， 斯坦福大学心血管研究所（CVI）主任; John Pauly博士，电气工程教授; 和Koen Nieman，医学博士，博士，斯坦福大学放射学和医学（心脏病学）副教授。 行政和项目管理支持由斯坦福大学的一个专门的教育工作者团队提供 CVI。内部顾问委员会由来自广泛学科的高级斯坦福大学教师和 由美国心血管成像研究领域的领先专家组成的外部顾问委员会， 监督培训计划的进展情况，并根据需要提供持续的支持和建议。的 该计划的总体目标是培养下一代具有先进专业知识的调查人员 心血管成像技术，致力于确定创新的解决方案，并能够将基本的 临床成功的研究。
