Brown CardioPulmonary Research Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：布朗大学心肺训练计划的总体目标是培养医生和科学家，他们将成为心血管和肺部疾病的分子基础和病理生物学以及这些疾病的预防和治疗结果的独立研究者。这将通过一个严格的教学培训计划和指导研究经验，在一个合作的，多学科的设置与职业发展培训。每年将招收4名具有医学博士、博士或医学博士/博士学位的博士后，参加为期3年的研究培训计划。来自11个院系的33名经验丰富、资金充足的教员培训师和7名有前途的初级教员培训师开发了一个培训项目，该项目利用了布朗大学7家教学医院和布朗大学的资源。该培训计划旨在弥合生物医学、行为和公共卫生学科之间的差距，以促进有关如何最好地减轻影响心血管系统和肺部疾病患者的疾病负担的知识。这将通过心血管和肺部疾病分子病理生物学或卫生服务/结果的培训来完成。该培训项目具有独特的定位，可以对涉及这些系统的疾病（如衰老）的研究人员进行培训。让受训者从实验到临床，从临床到实践的各个方面研究这些问题，可以通过分子方法、流行病学、临床试验和卫生服务调查，带来新的见解、协同研究和科学进步。（摘要结束）

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Brown CardioPulmonary Training Program has as its overall objective the training of physicians and scientists who will become independent investigators in the molecular basis and pathobiology of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases and the outcomes of prevention and treatment of these diseases. This will be accomplished by a rigorous program of didactic training and mentored research experience in a collaborative, multidisciplinary setting with career development training. Four postdoctoral trainees with an MD, PhD, or MD/PhD degree will be accepted per year into a 3- year research training program. Thirty-three experienced and well-funded faculty trainers plus seven promising junior faculty trainers from 11 academic departments have developed a Training Program that utilizes resources from 7 Brown teaching hospitals plus Brown University. The Training Program aims to bridge gaps between bio-medical, behavioral and public health disciplines to advance knowledge regarding how best to reduce disease burden among patients with diseases that affect the cardiovascular system and lungs. This will be accomplished by training in Molecular Pathobiology of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Diseases or in Health Services/Outcomes. This Training Program is uniquely positioned to train individuals in research related to diseases that involve these systems, such as aging. Having trainees looking at these problems from both bench to bedside and bedside to practice aspects can lead to new insights, lines of synergistic research and advances in science using both molecular methods and epidemiologic, clinical trials, and health services investigations.
