DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary objective of the proposed research education program is to provide annual short-term (10 week) research education experiences for 10 highly motivated minority students in order to expose them to biomedical research in the area of cardiovascular function and disease. The long-range goal is to increase the number of minority health professionals in this area through interest generated by exposure to a broad spectrum of research and educational activities. The program builds upon MUSC's established strength in cardiovascular research, its strong commitment to providing meaningful research training experiences for students at all levels, and its track record of introducing students from underrepresented groups to biomedical research. The Program Faculty is a group of 31 productive, collaborative, independently funded scientists with strong training records whose expertise and interests are highly relevant to the cardiovascular sciences including multiple aspects of cell communication and molecular structure and their dysfunction in cardiac morphogenesis, hypertension, vascular disease and cardiac hypertrophy and failure. They also include faculty with interest in diseases and disorders that exhibit significantly higher rates of incidence, morbidity, and mortality among African American residents of South Carolina than among other population groups, or even African Americans in other parts of the country. In addition to the mentored research project and instruction in the ethical conduct of research, students will participate in a Cardiovascular Seminar Series and a course in Introduction to Critical Review. Senior research electives allow students to gain additional research experience and exposure to patient-oriented research during their advanced years in medical school. The program benefits from a stable administrative structure and exceptionally strong leadership committed to diversity. A comprehensive evaluation plan that measures the degree to which the program is achieving its objectives is also in place. (End of Abstract)

描述(由申请人提供)：建议的研究教育计划的主要目标是为10名积极进取的少数民族学生提供年度短期(10周)研究教育经验，以使他们接触到心血管功能和疾病领域的生物医学研究。长期目标是通过接触广泛的研究和教育活动所产生的兴趣，增加这一领域的少数族裔保健专业人员的数量。该项目建立在MUSC在心血管研究方面的雄厚实力、为所有级别的学生提供有意义的研究培训经验的坚定承诺以及向代表不足的群体的学生介绍生物医学研究的记录基础上。该计划系由31名多产、协作、独立资助的科学家组成，他们的专业知识和兴趣与心血管科学高度相关，包括细胞通讯和分子结构的多个方面，以及他们在心脏形态发生、高血压、血管疾病和心脏肥大和衰竭方面的功能障碍。他们还包括对南卡罗来纳州非洲裔美国人居民的发病率、发病率和死亡率明显高于其他人口群体、甚至美国其他地区的非裔美国人的疾病和障碍感兴趣的教职员工。除了指导研究项目和研究伦理行为的指导外，学生还将参加心血管系列研讨会和批判性评论导论课程。高级研究选修课允许学生在医学院的高级阶段获得更多的研究经验，并接触到以患者为中心的研究。该计划得益于稳定的管理结构和致力于多样性的特别强大的领导层。还制定了一项全面的评估计划，以衡量该方案实现其目标的程度。(摘要结束)
