尽管在治疗、行为干预和政策方面取得了重大进展， 心血管及相关疾病（CVD）仍然是美国死亡率的主要原因。 美国（US）每年有超过78.7万人死亡长期以来，研究 被认为是至关重要的心血管健康和健康的整体改善 结果。然而，迫切需要一支训练有素、多样化的研究队伍， 证据基础更广泛，更具有创新性和强大的新方法， 心血管疾病的防治。研究生研究培训计划是 众所周知，这是发展成功的研究企业的关键因素。迫切需要 有效的，以证据为基础的研究生研究培训计划，重点是人口 心血管流行病学不能被夸大，特别是在不同的群体中， 美国CVD负担高得令人无法接受的地区，如密西西比。我们 因此，建议建立密西西比研究生培训和教育中心（MSGTEC） 制定、实施和评估一项为期2年的循证实践计划， 培训和“辅导”一批不同的研究生就读于卫生相关领域，从 在密西西比的五所合作院校。MS-GTEC还将推动 研究生和早期职业教师的研究培训和教育科学 成员我们的团队带来了心血管流行病学和相关研究的专业知识， 健康差距研究，以及在研究培训、教育 和不同的学生和早期职业教师的辅导，沿着与深刻的熟悉和 与密西西比的学院和大学交往的历史。

Despite substantial advances in treatment, behavioral interventions, and policies, cardiovascular and related diseases (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality in the United States (U.S.) accounting for over 787,000 deaths annually. Research has long been recognized to be crucial to the overall improvement of cardiovascular health and health outcomes. However, a highly-trained, diverse research workforce is sorely needed to build an evidence base that is broader, and more innovative and robust for new approaches to cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment. Graduate research training programs are known to be a key factor in developing a successful research enterprise. The critical need for effective, evidence-based graduate research training programs focused on population cardiovascular epidemiology cannot be overstated, particularly among diverse groups and in regions of the US with an unacceptably high burden of CVD, such as Mississippi. We therefore propose to create the Mississippi Graduate Training and Education Center (MSGTEC) to develop, implement, and evaluate a 2-year evidence-based, hands-on program to train and “coach” a diverse group of graduate students enrolled in health-related fields from five partner colleges and universities in Mississippi. The MS-GTEC will also advance the science of research training and education of graduate students and early career faculty members. Our team brings expertise in cardiovascular epidemiology and related research, health disparities research, and evidence-based approaches in research training, education, and coaching of diverse students and early career faculty, along with a deep familiarity and history of engagement with colleges and universities in Mississippi.
