RESEARCH TRAINING IN CVD EPIDEMIOLOGY AND PREVENTION

这项正在进行的心血管多学科研究培训计划(现已进入第10年) 疾病(CVD)流行病学和预防支持4名博士后实习生(MD或 博士学位)，培训期限通常为2年。该计划可以提供 心血管流行病学相关领域的指导研究经验 预防、生物统计学、纵向风险定量评估、营养、行为 医学、血管医学、内分泌学、心血管成像、卫生服务研究以及 应用遗传学、转录组学、蛋白质组学和代谢组学。研究经验包括 辅以根据需要为每个学员单独选择的课程作业。整体而言 经验的设计是为了确保为未来的独立成功做好充分的准备 从事研究工作。该计划为每个受训人员制定个人发展计划(IDP)，并 提供至少2名初级导师的定期监督，以满足培训目标。其他内容 相关领域的二级导师，如心脏病学、代谢疾病、睡眠医学、 和基础简历科学，根据博士后的个人需求提供 实习生。这个为期5年的项目期的创新包括：1)通过以下方式加强少数族裔的招聘 与招收大量少数族裔学生的机构发展有针对性的渠道 公共卫生科学专业的研究生。2)继续改进对 项目经验丰富的导师，结合新结构的导师评估。 3)确保所有受训人员至少有2名高级导师、1名初级研究导师和1名 主要的职业导师。4)加强对职业发展和“生存”技能的关注； 包括新的双周会议，主要是为T32计划的实习生举行的。实习生是 来自两个临床背景(主要是医学博士，打算追求医生/科学家 心血管医学和预防心脏病学的职业)或研究背景 (生物统计学、流行病学、营养学或与心血管疾病预防研究相关的其他领域的博士学位) 计划在心血管疾病流行病学或预防方面的职业生涯。项目主任、联席主任和 导师是一个经验丰富的群体，大多数人都在一起工作了很多年， 将有助于确保协调训练。一个指导委员会和一个咨询委员会将 监督项目的各个方面。持续的评估和反馈将确保变化 根据需要实施，并始终满足计划目标。

This ongoing multi-disciplinary research training program (now in Year 10) in cardiovascular disease (CVD) epidemiology and prevention supports 4 postdoctoral trainees (either MD or PhD) for a training period that is typically 2 years in duration. The Program can provide mentored research experiences in the related fields of cardiovascular epidemiology, CVD prevention, biostatistics, quantitative assessment of longitudinal risk, nutrition, behavioral medicine, vascular medicine, endocrinology, CV imaging, health services research, as well as applied genetics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics. Research experiences are complemented by coursework chosen as needed individually for each trainee. The overall experience is designed to assure a strong preparation for success in future independent research careers. The Program creates individual development plans (IDP) for each trainee and provides regular oversight by at least 2 primary mentors to meet training goals. Additional secondary mentors from related fields such as cardiology, metabolic diseases, sleep medicine, and basic CV sciences, are available depending on the individual needs of the postdoctoral trainee. Innovations for this 5-year project period include: 1) Enhancing minority recruitment by developing targeted pipelines with institutions that enroll significant numbers of minority graduate students in the public health sciences. 2) Continued improvement in training of the program's highly experienced mentors, combined with newly-structured mentor evaluations. 3) Assuring that all trainees have at least 2 senior mentors, a primary research mentor and a primary career mentor. 4) Enhanced attention to career development and "survival" skills, including new biweekly conferences primarily for trainees in the T32 program. Trainees are drawn from both clinical backgrounds (primarily MD intending to pursue a physician/scientist career in cardiovascular medicine and preventive cardiology) or from research backgrounds (PhD in biostatistics, epidemiology, nutrition, or other fields related to CVD prevention research) planning a career in CVD epidemiology or prevention. The Program Director, Co-Directors, and mentors are a highly experienced group, and most have worked together for many years which will help to assure coordinated training. A Steering Committee and an Advisory Committee will oversee all aspects of the Program. Ongoing evaluation and feedback will ensure that changes are implemented as needed and that Program goals are consistently met.
