CVD Epidemiology Training Program

描述(由申请人提供)： 这是一份T32心血管流行病学培训补助金的申请，重点是遗传和分子流行病学。该计划是为医学研究人员设计的，他们正在从普通内科的临床培训过渡到心血管内科的子专业培训。该计划的主要特点包括完成流行病学硕士学位，并在遗传学、基因组学和蛋白质组学方面进行补充培训。申请者还将参加为期10天的心血管流行病学研讨会和复杂心肺和血液疾病的遗传方法研讨会，参加实验室实习，让他们接触基因组学和蛋白质组学的一些最新技术，并接受负责任的研究指导方面的额外培训。这一培训计划的目标是培养有能力将遗传学、基因组学和蛋白质组学方面的新进展应用于心血管流行病学研究并协助将新的基础科学进展转化为临床领域的临床心血管研究人员。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This a T32 application for a training grant in cardiovascular epidemiology with a special focus on genetic and molecular epidemiology. The program is designed for M.D. investigators who are transitioning from clinical training in General Internal Medicine to subspecialty training in cardiovascular medicine. Key features of the program include completion of a Master's degree in epidemiology with supplemental training in genetic, genomics and proteomics. The applicants will also attend the 10-day seminar in Cardiovascular Epidemiology and the Genetic Approaches to Complex Heart, Lung, and Blood diseases seminar, participate in a laboratory practicum exposing them to some of the latest technologies available in genomics and proteomics, and receive additional training in the responsible conduct of research. The goal of this training program is to train clinical cardiovascular investigators who are well equipped to apply the new advances in genetic, genomics, and proteomics to the conduct of cardiovascular epidemiological research and to assist in the translation of new basic science advances to the clinical arena.
