描述 (改编自申请人的摘要)这是一项旨在加强和 加强莫尔豪斯学院的心血管相关研究活动 医学博士(MSM)通过招募一位公认的心血管医生 科学家。这位科学家将在第一阶段的资助中被招募， 在第二阶段成为这笔赠款的主要调查者。它是 期望招募到的科学家将培育一支强大的 MSM的心血管研究计划，更专注于 现有的基础、临床和行为研究。来自…的预期结果 这一倡议是建立研讨会/讨论小组和资金，以 促进MSM跨学科协作研究的先导研究。 作为这一努力的结果，智力交流不仅将受益 现有的MSM调查人员，但它也将吸引高素质的毕业生 有兴趣从事以下职业的学生和博士后 心血管研究。为此，努力制定一种 心血管研究培训计划(包括博士后和博士后 MSM的受训人员)应该在招募的科学家的指导下取得成果。这个 第一阶段的具体目标是：1)组织外部咨询 委员会，2)确定并招募已建立的心血管研究 科学家，3)制定第二阶段的详细计划，4)提交 申请第二阶段计划，以供NHLBI批准。其目标是 将制定的二期计划应包括以下内容：1) 培养一支关键的教师队伍，提供多学科的 开展与心血管疾病相关的基础、临床和行为研究的方法； 2)发展开展临床研究的基础设施 心血管相关疾病；3)培养少数民族本科生，医学 学生和博士后候选人，达到他们可能成为 心血管相关疾病方面的成功生物医学研究人员；4) 加强现有的与心血管疾病有关的基本研究能力，以便 促进内部基础临床和外部合作研究的努力。 简而言之，这一心血管倡议将有助于形成一种 探索心血管疾病相关疾病的研究人员的临界群体。这样的一种 创新发展将代表对NHLBI资源的有效利用 最终产品是竞争性资金。

DESCRIPTION (Adapted from the applicant's abstract) This is a proposal to strengthen and enhance the cardiovascular-related research activities at Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) through the recruitment of an established cardiovascular scientist. This scientist will be recruited in Phase I of the grant and become the principal investigator of this grant during Phase II. It is expected that the recruited scientist will foster the building of a strong cardiovascular research program at MSM, with a more focused direction to existing basic, clinical, and behavioral research. An expected outcome from this initiative is to establish workshop/discussion groups and funds for pilot studies that foster interdisciplinary collaborative research at MSM. The intellectual exchange as a result of this endeavor will not only benefit existing MSM investigators, but it will also attract high-caliber graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who are interested in pursuing a career in cardiovascular research. To this end, the effort to develop a cardiovascular research training program (with pre- and postdoctoral trainees) at MSM should come to fruition under the recruited scientist. The specific objectives of Phase I are to: 1) organize an External Advisory Committee, 2) identify and recruit an established cardiovascular research scientist, 3) develop a detailed plan for Phase II, and 4) submit an application of the Phase II plan for approval by NHLBI. The objectives that will be developed for the Phase II plan should include the following: 1) develop a critical mass of faculty who would provide a multidisciplinary approach to conduct basic, clinical, and behavioral research related to CVD; 2) develop the infrastructure for carrying out clinical research in cardiovascular-related disorders; 3) train minority undergraduates, medical students, and postdoctoral candidates to a level that they may become successful biomedical researchers in cardiovascular-related disorders; 4) strengthen the existing basic CVD-related research capabilities in order to foster internal basic-clinical and external collaborative research efforts. In short, this cardiovascular initiative will facilitate the formation of a critical mass of research personnel exploring CVD-related disease. Such an innovative development will represent an efficient use of NHLBI resources with the end product being competitive funding.
