Training Program in Translational Cardiovascular Science

描述（由申请人提供）： 本申请请求继续支持威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校威斯康星州心血管研究中心（CVRC）的转化心血管科学培训项目。CVRC位于医学院内，是一个校园范围内的跨学科研究中心，拥有来自其他七所学校和学院以及27个学术部门的教职员工;所有人都致力于开发基础研究，临床研究，诊断和治疗，和/或关于心血管疾病基础的公共教育计划。该培训计划为博士后MD和博士提供基础研究培训。的，以及博士前的实习生，目标是培养科学家谁将能够思考和工作“从分子到床边。“实际的直接目标是吸引和培训基础研究的临床医生，吸引和培训研究生和博士后（博士）。学生在临床动机的基础科学。此应用程序请求支持作为专科住院医师或亚专科研究员（MD）接受临床培训的医生。该培训计划还资助博士前和博士后（博士）转化心血管科学的受训人员。该计划的培训师是从CVRC成员中选出的，因为他们的科学与临床相关。重点领域（收缩性/心力衰竭，兴奋性/心律失常和血管生物学/动脉粥样硬化）或支持领域（细胞生物学），他们的培训记录，以及他们的同行评审研究计划的整体活动和影响。培训发生在威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校，并利用强大的机构支持和环境，这种培训，以及临床和基础科学部门和教师之间建立的工作关系都在威斯康星大学医学院和大学。培训师和学员都参与核心活动，将该计划定义为一个有凝聚力的实体。在这个转化心血管科学计划中培训的科学家和医生科学家处于独特的地位，可以应用基本的科学知识来造福心血管疾病患者，心血管疾病是美国人死亡的首要原因。(End摘要）

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests continuing support for the Training Program in Translational Cardiovascular Science within the University of Wisconsin Cardiovascular Research Center (CVRC) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Housed in the Medical School, the CVRC is a campus-wide interdisciplinary research center with faculty members from seven additional schools and colleges and from 27 academic departments; all are dedicated to developing programs in basic research, clinical investigation, diagnosis and therapy, and/or public education concerning the basis for cardiovascular diseases. The training program provides basic research training for postdoctoral MD's and Ph.D.'s, as well as pre doctoral trainees, with the goal of training scientists who will be capable of thinking and working "from molecule to bedside." The practical immediate aims are to attract and train clinicians in basic research, and to attract and train graduate and postdoctoral (Ph.D.) students in clinically motivated basic science. This application requests support for physicians in clinical training as specialty residents, or for sub-specialty fellows (MD). The training program also funds pre doctoral and postdoctoral (Ph.D.) trainees in translational cardiovascular sciences. Trainers in this program have been selected from members of the CVRC for the clinical relevance of their science in. the focus areas (contractility/heart failure, excitability/arrhythmia and vascular biology/atherosclerosis) or a support area (cell biology), their training records, and the overall activity and impact of their peer-reviewed research programs. Training takes place at UW-Madison and takes advantage of the strong institutional support and environment for such training, as well as the established working relationships between clinical and basic science departments and faculty both within the UW Medical School and the University at large. Trainers and trainees all participate in core activities that define the program as a cohesive entity. The scientists and physician scientists trained in this translational cardiovascular science program are in unique positions to apply basic scientific knowledge to benefit patients with cardiovascular disease, the foremost cause of mortality among Americans.
