Cardiovascular Biomedical Engineering Training Grant

 描述(由申请人提供)：这是心血管生物医学工程跨学科培训计划的续展(16-20年)，致力于培训8名博士前学生。受训者将接受生物和工程学科的教育，重点是心血管健康。该计划的一个主要目标是满足不断增长的生物医学工程领域和跨学科劳动力的需求。该项目利用了亚利桑那大学在生物工程和心血管生物学方面的强大专业知识，特别强调心血管设备、心血管成像和心血管力学。培训教师是独立的研究人员，他们共同致力于研究生培训。教职员工有很强的支持记录，并积极参与合作研究活动。临床和工业经验将促进为受训人员开发翻译研究项目，并为他们为现代劳动力做好准备。该计划内的培训包括实验室和教学经验。教学部分包括核心生物医学工程研究生课程，以及创新、写作和统计方面的课程作业，以及许多可选的研究生课程和定期安排的论坛和研讨会。受训人员在参与的实验室中轮流进行研究和项目。他们参加非正式讨论小组，并有多种机会以口头和海报的形式展示他们的研究成果。受训人员的进度由受训人员的导师、他们各自的研究生计划、培训资助计划委员会和外部顾问委员会监督。培训方案的有效性由外部咨询委员会和内部指导委员会进行评估。过去10年该培训项目的毕业生目前在生物医药行业、政府、私人基金会和学术机构担任领导职务。(摘要结束)

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant):This is a renewal (years 16-20) of an interdisciplinary training program in Cardiovascular Biomedical Engineering dedicated to training 8 predoctoral students. Trainees will receive education in the biological and engineering disciplines focusing on cardiovascular health. A major goal of this program is to meet the demands of a growing biomedical engineering field and interdisciplinary workforce. This program takes advantage of the strong expertise in bioengineering and cardiovascular biology present at the University of Arizona, with special emphasis on cardiovascular devices, cardiovascular imaging, and cardiovascular mechanics. Training faculty are independent researchers with a shared commitment to graduate training. The faculty have a strong record of support and are actively involved in collaborative research activities. Clinical and industrial experiences will foster the development of translational research projects for trainees and prepare them for the modern workforce. Training within this program involves laboratory and didactic experiences. The didactic component includes the core biomedical engineering graduate curriculum plus coursework on innovation, writing and statistics, and the availability of numerous elective graduate courses and regularly scheduled forums and seminars. Trainees perform research rotations and projects in participating laboratories. They participate in informal discussion groups and have multiple opportunities to present their research in oral and poster form. Progress of the trainees is monitored by the trainee's mentor, their respective graduate program, the training grant program committee, and an external advisory board. Effectiveness of the training program is evaluated by the external advisory board and an internal steering committee. Graduates of this training program from the last 10 years are now engaged leadership in leadership positions in biomedical industry, government, private foundations, and academic institutions.
