Clinical Scholars in Cardiovascular Science

描述（由申请人提供）：肯塔基大学心血管科学临床学者培训计划（以下简称“该计划”）准备临床学者担任指导心血管医学领域研究的领导职位。在过去的几年里，我们利用我们在心血管科学方面的优势，提供了一个独特的多学科培训项目，横向整合了医学、护理和药学等学科的学员。通过这种方法，我们实现了增加研究人员队伍的目标，他们弥合了基础科学进步与临床医学应用之间的差距。这是通过提供一个高度协作的培训环境来实现的，该环境将强大的科学与心血管生物学和临床人群疾病的研究相结合。正如本申请中所描述的，我们的项目具有教师导师之间的大量合作，合格申请人的人才库，以及坚实的基础设施和机构支持。我们的学员在第一个资助周期的成功，显示我们有能力达到我们的目标，这些目标是：1)在与心血管研究相关的基础科学方面提供严格而坚实的研究教育2)在高度跨学科的环境中为转化和临床科学培养新的研究人员3)在高质量的实验室管理和科学方面提供高效和道德的培训4)创造一个培养学者和导师的创新和培育结构的环境

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Kentucky Training Program for Clinical Scholars in Cardiovascular Science (hereafter referred to as "the Program") prepares clinical scholars to assume leadership positions directing research in the field of cardiovascular medicine. In the last several years, we have leveraged our cardiovascular science strengths to provide a unique multidisciplinary training program that horizontally integrates trainees across the disciplines of Medicine, Nursing, and Pharmacy. With this approach, we have achieved our goal of increasing the pipeline of investigators who bridge the gap between basic science advances and their application to clinical medicine. This has been achieved by providing a highly collaborative training environment that combines strong science with the study of cardiovascular biology and disease in clinical populations. As described in this application, our program features substantial collaborations between faculty mentors, a talented pool of qualified applicants, and solid infrastructure and institutional support. The success of our trainees in the first funding cycle demonstrates our ability to achieve our aims, which are: 1) To provide a rigorous and solid research education in the basic sciences related to cardiovascular research 2) To prepare new researchers for translational and clinical science in a highly interdisciplinary environment 3) To provide training in the efficient and ethical conduct of high quality laboratory management and science 4) To create an environment that will incubate scholars and mentors with an innovative and nurturing structure
