Hypertension and Cardiorenal Diseases Research Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：项目摘要有一个在密西西比大学医学中心（UMMC）的心血管研究的悠久历史。大部分研究都是在生理学系进行的，他们的努力是为了开发心血管和肾脏系统的定量和综合分析。此外，UMMC对高血压和心肾疾病的基础和临床研究已经扩展到各个部门和项目，如药理学，生物化学，神经科学，医学，内分泌学和妇产科。UMMC也是杰克逊心脏研究的检查中心，该研究主要关注非裔美国人的心血管疾病。UMMC还参与了几项主要的临床试验，如ALLHAT。因此，UMMC在心血管疾病的基础，临床和人口研究计划的多样性。多学科高血压和肾脏疾病研究（HCDR）培训计划的主要目标是招募，培训和指导高血压，心血管和肾脏研究的博士前和博士后学生，使他们成为该领域的下一代研究人员。为了实现这一目标，UMMC的肾血管研究卓越中心（CECR）将为博士前和博士后学生提供一个激励和富有成效的指导环境。HCDR培训计划不仅利用了UMMC心血管和肾脏研究领域强大的基础科学和临床研究人员的专业知识，还利用了这些既定实验室和CECR核心设施提供的资源。 这项培训补助金建议的具体目标如下：1.培养博士预科生（3）在高血压和心血管肾脏疾病研究的课程工作和研究机会的多学科方法。 2.为博士后研究生提供高血压和心血管肾病研究方面的多学科培训和指导。招收和培养少数民族高血压和心血管肾脏疾病研究的博士前和博士后学生。资助UMMC的HCDR培训计划将提高这一多学科计划中受训人员的质量和数量，并大大提高我们在高血压和心肾疾病研究方面培训下一代生物医学科学家的能力。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Project Summary There has been a long history of cardiovascular research at the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC). Much of this research has been conducted in the Department of Physiology where their efforts are directed toward developing a quantitative and integrated analysis of the cardiovascular and renal systems. In addition both basic and clinical research on hypertension and cardio-renal diseases at UMMC have expanded in various departments and programs such as Pharmacology, Biochemistry, Neurosciences, Medicine, Endocrinology, and Obstetrics and Gynecology. UMMC also serves as the Examination Center for the Jackson Heart Study that has a major focus on cardiovascular disease in African Americans. UMMC has also been a participant is several major clinical trials such as ALLHAT. Thus, UMMC has a diversity of basic, clinical, and population research programs in cardiovascular diseases. The main objective of the multidisciplinary Hypertension and Cardiorenal Diseases Research (HCDR) Training Program is to recruit, train, and mentor pre-doctoral and postdoctoral students in hypertension and cardiovascular and renal research so that they become the next generation of researchers in this field. To achieve this goal the Center for Excellence in Cardiovascular-Renal Research (CECR) at UMMC will provide a stimulating and productive mentoring environment for pre-doctoral and postdoctoral students. The HCDR Training Program not only capitalizes on the expertise of a strong group of basic science and clinical investigators in the field of cardiovascular and renal research at UMMC but also the resources provided by these established laboratories and the CECR core facilities. The specific aims of this training grant proposal are as follows: 1. To train pre-doctoral students (3) in a multi-disciplinary approach in course work and research opportunities in hypertension and cardiovascular-renal disease research. 2. To provide postdoctoral students (5) multi-disciplinary training and mentoring in hypertension and cardiovascular-renal disease research 3. To recruit and train minority pre-doctoral and postdoctoral students in hypertension and cardiovascular- renal diseases research. Funding of the HCDR training program at UMMC would increase the quality and quantity of trainees in this multi-disciplinary program and greatly enhance our ability to train the next generation of biomedical scientists in hypertension and cardio-renal diseases research.
