PROJECT SUMMARY The objective of the Multi-Disciplinary Training Program in the Mechanisms of Cardio-metabolic Disease is to provide pre-doctoral scholars with balanced, interdisciplinary training for a successful research career in integrative cardiovascular research related to minority health. The focus of this training will be on mechanisms of cardiovascular disease in compromised metabolic and endocrine states. An emphasis in this program is cardio-metabolic disease common in minorities – hypertension, obesity, and diabetes. The specific goals are: 1) To train the next generation basic and translational scientists in cardiovascular pathophysiology, especially in states of metabolic dysfunction directly relevant to health problems of minorities, through course work and state- of-the-art research opportunities; 2) To provide pre-doctoral students with the necessary tools for effective scientific communication, including networking, grant writing, and formal training in responsible conduct of research (RCR) to build a competent and ethical research careers; and 3) Actively recruit and train minority candidates in cardio-metabolic disease research, in part, by leveraging our established connections with historically black colleges through our prior trainees. These goals will be achieved through the highly integrated research programs within the Medical College of Georgia (MCG) at Augusta University. MCG-AU has established itself as a leading national center for basic and clinical science research in cardiovascular disease. Mentors in the Program come from a variety of basic and clinical research units, including the Departments of Physiology, Pharmacology & Toxicology, and Cell Biology & Anatomy, Medicine and Pediatrics, including members of Nephrology, Cardiology, Hematology and Anesthesiology sections. Major interdisciplinary research units, the Vascular Biology Center (basic science) and the Georgia Prevention Institute are also prominent in the program. The goal of Program Leadership is to provide expert oversight characterized by excellence in research, commitment to training and leadership experience both internal and external to the institution. A shared governance model has been adopted that provides a mechanism of consensus leadership to keep the Program at the high level we expect for training at MCG-AU. Overall leadership is shared between two co-directors, Drs. David Stepp and Jennifer Sullivan. Internal Advisory and Admission Committees along with an External Advisory Committee provide an experienced team of leaders for the program. Pre-doctoral (PhD or MD/PhD) will be selected based on interest in cardiovascular biology, previous academic performance and research experience. All students will be required to participate in didactic coursework and a comprehensive set of professional skills courses including responsible conduct of research, effective scientific communication and networking, knowledge of technology transfer, scientific writing and review of the literature, preparation and presentations at local, national, and international conferences, grant writing and review, and leadership skills for subsequent career stages.

项目总结 心脏代谢性疾病机制的多学科培训计划的目标是 为博士前学者提供平衡的跨学科培训，使其在以下领域取得成功 与少数群体健康相关的综合性心血管研究。这次培训的重点将是机制。 处于代谢和内分泌受损状态的心血管疾病。这个节目的一个重点 心脏代谢性疾病在少数群体中很常见--高血压、肥胖和糖尿病。具体目标是： 1)培训下一代基础和翻译科学家，了解心血管病理生理学，特别是 与少数群体健康问题直接相关的代谢功能障碍国家，通过课程作业和国家-- 先进的研究机会；2)为博士生提供必要的工具，以便有效地 科学交流，包括联网、拨款申请和负责任的行为的正式培训 研究(RCR)建立一个称职和道德的研究职业；以及3)积极招募和培训少数民族 心脏代谢性疾病研究的候选人，部分是通过利用我们与 历史上的黑人大学通过我们之前的学员。这些目标将通过高度整合的 奥古斯塔大学佐治亚州医学院(MCG)的研究项目。MCG-AU有 将自己确立为领先的国家心血管疾病基础和临床科学研究中心。 该计划的导师来自不同的基础和临床研究单位，包括 生理学、药理学和毒理学、细胞生物学和解剖学、医学和儿科学，包括 肾内科、心内科、血液科和麻醉科的成员。重大跨学科研究 各单位、血管生物学中心(基础科学)和佐治亚州预防研究所也在 程序。项目领导力的目标是提供以卓越研究为特征的专家监督， 对培训的承诺和对机构内部和外部的领导经验。一个共享的 已经采用了治理模式，提供了一种协商一致的领导机制来保持该计划 在高水平上，我们希望在MCG-AU接受培训。总体领导权由两位联席董事分享。 大卫·斯特普和詹妮弗·沙利文。内部咨询和录取委员会以及外部咨询 委员会为该计划提供了一支经验丰富的领导团队。博士前(博士或医学博士/博士) 根据对心血管生物学的兴趣、以前的学术表现和研究经验选择。 所有学生都将被要求参加教学课程和一套全面的专业技能 课程包括负责任的研究、有效的科学交流和网络， 关于技术转让、科学写作和文献审查的知识、准备和报告 地方、国家和国际会议，资助写作和审查，以及后续的领导技能 职业生涯阶段。
