MSM Interdisciplinary Sleep/Clinical Cardiovascular Research Training Program

这一培训计划的总体目标是吸引和培养有才华的代表性不足的少数民族前， 博士生MSM，并准备他们追求独立的研究职业机会，在临床 和转化研究（CTR），从而增加了高技能研究人员的数量， CTR与临床心血管疾病和睡眠障碍有关。 以下目标将推动该计划的总体目标：目标1：开发多学科临床 心血管和睡眠障碍研究培训计划，将招募URM候选人在整个 ACTSI及其合作机构（MSM，埃默里和格鲁吉亚理工学院）。我们将针对博士研究生 对心血管和睡眠障碍研究感兴趣，以便在MSM中注册博士/MSCR轨道 MSCR计划，并针对对心血管和睡眠障碍研究感兴趣的医学生， 在MSM MSCR计划的MD/MSCR轨道中注册。目标2：加强临床和翻译 研究培训环境中的心血管和睡眠障碍的少数T32学员。我们将 促进T32学员，教师和导师之间的跨学科对话和科学交流。 我们将利用MSM研究生医学教育计划的多样性和优势， 心血管和神经科学研究所的科学研究卓越， 亚特兰大临床和转化科学研究所（ACTSI）的研究资源和指导， 实现上述目标。 相关性（参见说明）： 这一培训方案解决了发展可持续的少数民族科学家人才库的迫切需要 作为21世纪的主要研究者，通过制定和实施创新战略， 建立在现有计划（如ACTSI）的基础上的合作。

The overall goal of this training program is to attract and train talented under-represented minority pre- doctoral students to MSM and prepare them to pursue independent research career opportunities in Clinical and Translational Research (CTR) thereby augmenting the number of highly skilled investigators pursuing CTR related to clinical cardiovascular disease and sleep disorders. The following aims will drive the overall goal of this program: Aim 1: Develop a multidisciplinary clinical cardiovascular and sleep-disorders research training program that will recruit URM candidates across the ACTSI and its partner institutions (MSM, Emory, and Georgia Tech). We will target PhD graduate students interested in cardiovascular and sleep disorders research for enrollment in the PhD/MSCR track in the MSM MSCR program, and target medical students interested in cardiovascular and sleep disorders research for enrollment in the MD/MSCR track in the MSM MSCR program. Aim 2: Enhance the clinical and translational research training environment in cardiovascular and sleep disorders for minority T32 trainees. We will promote interdisciplinary discourse and scientific exchange among T32 trainees, faculty and mentors. We will harnesses the diversity and strength of MSM graduate medical education programs, the basic science research excellence ofthe Cardiovascular and Neuroscience institutes, the outstanding clinical research resources and mentorship ofthe Atlanta Clinical and Translational Science Institute (ACTSI) to address the above aims. RELEVANCE (See instructions): This training program addresses the critical need for development of a sustainable pool of minority scientists as leading investigators for the 21 st century, by developing and implementing innovative strategies and collaborations that build upon the strengths of existing programs such as the ACTSI.
