Ten-Day Seminar on the Epidemiology and Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease

该提案要求联合赞助美国为期十天的流行病学和预防研讨会， 心血管疾病，一个独特的培训计划，包括NHLBI，疾病控制中心和 预防和美国心脏协会。鉴于心血管疾病（CVD）的负担， 中风对这个国家的残疾，死亡，差距和成本方面，这一重点领域是非常合适的， * 为研究和传播支持改进预防的证据提供专业培训的环境 和患者结果。确保有这样一支劳动力队伍是我国准备 应对心血管疾病带来的公共卫生和医疗挑战，并采取新的奋进， 改善心血管健康（CVH）。CVH人群和临床科学家将越来越需要 了解与电子队列相关的方法、大型实践试验、护理质量研究、传播 和实施（D&I）研究，以及大数据分析。资助机构最近对成本的强调- 有效的研究导致需要开发新的方法来进行观察性研究和试验。 临床和人口数据源的规模大大增加，可用于提高护理质量 和人口健康，但这也对心血管疾病的人口和临床科学家提出了新的要求， CVH研究。生物医学信息学专业知识是需要与应用程序的数据从电子健康 记录和公共卫生信息来源，包括有关物理和社会环境的数据。 研究能力需要在流行病学和生物统计学，护理质量，政策和 促进健康和预防疾病的环境方法。需要科学家， 整合所有这些领域的证据，并将研究结果转化为有效和有影响力的政策 和实践，美国研讨会有助于独特的这种培训需求。 为确保研讨会取得成功，必须采取以下具体行动： 1.我们继续吸引教师与相关内容的知识和个人教学 有效实施该计划所需的技能，并继续强调招聘 少数民族和女性教师（目前占教师的43%）; 2.我们继续调整计划内容，以保持其货币和相关性的培训需求， 国家卫生专业人员与适当的职业兴趣，同时保持一致的中央 侧重于上述领域; 3.我们继续向适当的目标群体传播有关这一方案的信息， 目前针对少数族裔和女性候选人的有效战略;以及 4.我们继续扩大参与者的招聘，通过AHA科学的结构， 理事会和其他手段。

This proposal requests joint sponsorship of the US Ten-Day Seminar on Epidemiology and Prevention of Cardiovascular Diseases, a unique training program to include NHLBI, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the American Heart Association. Given the burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and stroke to this nation in terms of disability, death, disparities, and costs, this focus area is highly appropriate as a setting for professional training in research and dissemination of evidence supporting improved prevention and patient outcomes. Securing availability of such a workforce is a key element of our country's readiness to address the public health and medical challenges posed by CVD and to take on the new endeavor of improving cardiovascular health (CVH). CVH population and clinical scientists will increasingly need an understanding of methods related to e-cohorts, large practical trials, quality of care research, dissemination and implementation (D&I) research, and big data analytics. The recent emphasis of funding agencies on cost- effective research has led to the need to develop new methods to conduct observational studies and trials. Greatly increased scale of clinical and population data sources can be harnessed to enhance quality of care and population health, but this also places new demands on population and clinical scientists in CVD and CVH research. Biomedical informatics expertise is needed with application to data from electronic health records and public health information sources, including data regarding the physical and social environments. Research competencies are needed in epidemiology and biostatistics, quality of care, and policy and environmental approaches to health promotion and disease prevention. Scientists are needed who can integrate evidence across all of these fields and translate research findings into effective and impactful policy and practice, and the US Seminar contributes uniquely to this training need. The following specific actions must be pursued in order to assure the conduct of a successful Seminar: 1. We continue to attract a faculty with both the knowledge of relevant content and the personal teaching skills required for the effective conduct of this program, with a continuing emphasis on the recruitment of minority and female faculty members (currently comprising 43% of the faculty); 2. We continue to adapt program content to maintain its currency and relevance to the training needs of the nation for health professionals with appropriate career interests, while maintaining a consistent central focus on the areas described above; 3. We continue to disseminate information about this program to appropriate target groups, using the most effective current strategies for reaching minority and female candidates; and 4. We continue to broaden the recruitment of participants, through the structure of the AHA Scientific Councils and additional means.
