DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary objective of this Research Training Program continues to be the pre-and post-doctoral training of individuals for investigative careers directed at the improved understanding of behavioral mechanisms associated with cardiovascular health, illness, risk, and the investigation of interventions and community partnerships designed to prevent or control disease and promote enhancement of cardiovascular health status. The Program uses a model of early exposure of trainees to faculty mentors and their research as a means of socialization of trainees toward their future career activities. Trainees are recruited from the relevant health professions, in particular, Medicine, Public Health, Nursing, and disciplines which include Health Education, Behavioral Sciences, Nutrition, Psychology, Sociology, Economics, Anthropology, and Public Policy. The Program is designed to educate trainees with a background in the health professions to develop more behaviorally oriented research and trainees with a background in the behavioral sciences to apply their research to cardiovascular health and illness. These complementary emphases continue to be viewed as important to building the necessary multi-disciplinary research manpower base to address cardiovascular problems relevant to the heath of the public. The faculty have been recruited to reflect this interdisciplinary base and provide appropriate role models for trainee career development. The Program has been successful and remains committed to attracting highly qualified minority trainees and placing further emphasis on cardiovascular disease and risk in minorities and women. The Program continues to be a strong collaborative one between the Schools of Medicine, Public Health, and Nursing. To date, 87 postdoctoral and 54 pre-doctoral trainees have graduated with 7 current post-docs and 2 predoctoral trainees active. These include a mixture of individuals with MD's, PhD's, particularly in Behavioral Science and Public Health. A variety of research activities and facilities continue to be made available to trainees. This program is directly relevant to the health of the public in its training of future investigators to understand, prevent and treat heart and vascular diseases and their associated risk factors better. The new knowledge developed by these trainees and its application will improve the prevention and control of problems, such as hypertension, coronary artery disease and risk factors such as obesity.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该研究培训计划的主要目标仍然是对从事研究职业的个人进行博士前和博士后培训，旨在提高对与心血管健康、疾病、风险相关的行为机制的理解，以及旨在预防或控制疾病并促进增强心血管健康状况的干预措施和社区伙伴关系的调查。该计划采用一种让受训者尽早接触教师导师及其研究的模式，作为受训者对未来职业活动进行社会化的一种手段。学员来自相关健康专业，特别是医学、公共卫生、护理以及健康教育、行为科学、营养学、心理学、社会学、经济学、人类学和公共政策等学科。该计划旨在教育具有健康专业背景的学员开展更多以行为为导向的研究，并教育具有行为科学背景的学员将其研究应用于心血管健康和疾病。这些互补的重点仍然被认为对于建立必要的多学科研究人力基础以解决与公众健康相关的心血管问题非常重要。聘请教师是为了反映这种跨学科基础，并为实习生的职业发展提供适当的榜样。该计划取得了成功，并将继续致力于吸引高素质的少数族裔学员，并进一步强调少数族裔和妇女的心血管疾病和风险。该项目仍然是医学院、公共卫生学院和护理学院之间强有力的合作项目。迄今为止，已有87名博士后和54名博士前培训生毕业，其中7名博士后和2名博士前培训生在职。其中包括拥有医学博士、博士学位的个人，特别是在行为科学和公共卫生领域。继续向学员提供各种研究活动和设施。该项目对未来的研究人员进行培训，以更好地了解、预防和治疗心脏和血管疾病及其相关危险因素，这与公众的健康直接相关。这些学员开发的新知识及其应用将改善高血压、冠状动脉疾病和肥胖等危险因素等问题的预防和控制。 （摘要完）
