US Ten Day Seminar on the Epidemiology and Prevention of CVD and Stroke

该提案要求赞助一年一度的美国流行病学和预防十天研讨会， 心血管疾病和中风。考虑到心血管疾病（CVD）和中风的负担， 适合就这一主题进行专业培训。本提案的目标与 NHLBI战略愿景中概述的目标和目标，旨在“进一步发展，多样化和维持一个 有能力完成NHLBI的使命的科学工作者。”培训这样一支工作队伍是一个关键因素 我们国家准备好应对心血管疾病带来的健康挑战，并准备好推进多方面的工作， 促进心血管健康（CVH）的组成策略。一个有准备的劳动力将需要研究 流行病学和生物统计学能力，健康的社会决定因素，以及政策和环境 促进健康和预防疾病的方法。此外，权威卫生机构和知名 科学家们已经注意到越来越需要培训专业人员来理解与e-队列相关的方法， 大型实用临床试验、传播和实施研究以及大数据分析。科学家将 还需要成本效益研究、遗传学、表观遗传学和生物医学信息学方面的专门知识。这 研讨会可以独特地有助于培养科学家谁可以整合证据跨越所有这些领域， 将研究成果转化为有效和有影响力的政策和实践。我们寻求联合赞助， 国家心脏，肺和血液研究所（NHLBI），疾病预防办公室和行为办公室 社会科学研究。研讨会的其他资助者/合作伙伴是疾病控制中心和 预防（赠款）和美国心脏协会（实物）。 我们将采取以下措施确保研讨会的成功举行： 1.我们将继续吸引既有相关内容知识又有个人教学能力的教师 有效实施该计划所需的技能，并继续强调招聘 来自代表性不足的种族/民族群体的教师（目前占教师的31%）和女性教师 （目前占教师总数的56%）; 2.我们将继续调整方案内容，以保持其与国家培训需求的相关性， 卫生专业人员与适当的职业兴趣，同时保持一致的中心重点， 心血管疾病流行病学的基本方法; 3.我们将继续利用最有效的方式，向适当的团体传播有关该计划的信息。 目前针对代表性不足的种族/族裔群体、女性候选人和历史上 边缘化群体;以及 4.我们将继续通过AHA科学委员会，过去的参与者， 有可能从任职人数不足的群体中物色候选人的组织，以及其他手段。

This proposal requests sponsorship for the annual U.S. Ten-Day Seminar on the Epidemiology and Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease and Stroke. Given the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke, it is highly appropriate to conduct professional training on this topic. The goals of this proposal are consistent with the goals and objectives outlined in the NHLBI’s Strategic Vision which seeks to “further develop, diversify, and sustain a scientific workforce capable of accomplishing the NHLBI’s mission.” Training of such a workforce is a key element of our country’s readiness to address the health challenges posed by CVD and the readiness to advance multi- component strategies that promote cardiovascular health (CVH). A prepared workforce will need research competencies in epidemiology and biostatistics, social determinants of health, and policy and environmental approaches to health promotion and disease prevention. Further, authoritative health agencies and prominent scientists have noted an increasing need for training professionals to understand methods related to e-cohorts, large practical clinical trials, dissemination and implementation research, and big data analytics. Scientists will also need expertise in cost-effectiveness research, genetics, epigenetics, and biomedical informatics. This Seminar can uniquely contribute to training scientists who can integrate evidence across all of these fields and translate research findings into effective and impactful policy and practice. We seek joint sponsorship from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the Office of Disease Prevention, and the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research. Other funders/partners for the Seminar are the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (grant), and the American Heart Association (in-kind). We will do the following to assure the successful conduct of the Seminar: 1. We will continue to attract a faculty with both the knowledge of relevant content and the personal teaching skills required for the effective conduct of this program, with a continuing emphasis on the recruitment of faculty from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups (currently 31% of the faculty) and female faculty members (currently 56% of the faculty); 2. We will continue to adapt program content to maintain its relevance to the training needs of the nation for health professionals with appropriate career interests, while maintaining a consistent central focus on the foundational methods in cardiovascular disease epidemiology; 3. We will continue to disseminate information about this program to appropriate groups, using the most effective current strategies for reaching underrepresented racial/ethnic groups, female candidates and historically marginalized groups; and 4. We will continue to broaden the recruitment of participants through AHA Scientific Councils, past participants, organizations likely to identify candidates from underrepresented groups, and other means.
