Cardiovascular and Chronic Disease Prevention Training Program

项目摘要/摘要 这笔赠款将支持一个新的心血管和慢性病预防博士后培训计划。 这是建立在斯坦福大学预防研究中心(SPRC)之前成功的45年培训计划的基础上的。 该项目的目标是在跨学科和翻译人群中指导博士级别的科学家- 以及个人层面的行为研究，旨在预防心血管疾病和其他流行的慢性病。这个 该计划强调能够促进健康公平的跨学科行为干预。这 应用恰逢SPRC的持续卓越和创新时期。新的主任，大卫博士 Maron领导着一支日益壮大的教职员工队伍，专注于各种跨学科的尖端科学研究 包括数字和精确卫生、社区主导的参与性研究以促进卫生公平等领域， 性别健康、老龄化、微生物组、全球健康和健康人-健康环境研究。这个 培训项目教职员工代表了一系列学科，包括行为和社会科学、医学、 流行病学、公共卫生、生物统计学、生理学、营养学、运动学、环境学 科学、传播和教育。除了由美国国立卫生研究院资助的一系列研究活动外，这些活动包括 观察和临床试验设计和方法，SPRC建立了健康生活实验室(Well) 由约28,000名来自美国以及中国、台湾和新加坡的“民间科学家”组成。井很长- 学期队列和一系列实验研究为学员提供了额外的丰富的研究机会。 博士后培训将侧重于在丰富的跨学科科学中直接指导研究经验 每年总计约1000万美元的环境。研究员与主要和次要导师密切合作，并 加入研究团队，在那里他们协作学习研究设计和方法、数据收集和 分析、手稿准备和其他传播机制，以加快研究成果的翻译 练习一下。赠款准备的正式指导是通过不同的说教和经验提供的 方法：研究方法。这样的SPRC和医学院培训机会得到了广泛的一系列 斯坦福大学CTSA提供的资源以及斯坦福大学提供的职业发展计划 博士后事务办公室和斯坦福大学的其他资源。选择研究员优先考虑对慢性病的兴趣 疾病预防，有潜力从事富有成效的研究事业，并表现出卓越的科学能力和 潜力。在过去15年(2005-2020年)完成前一次研究金的49名研究员中，82%(40/49) 目前担任与研究相关的职位。SPRC也坚定地致力于多样性；在之前的38个SPRC中 过去十年任命的研究员中，68%是妇女，32%是代表性不足的少数群体(5 西班牙裔，4名非裔美国人，2名土著美国人，1名弱势白人)。我们请求为4个项目提供资金 博士后研究员在1年级和7年级，在2-5年级面向拥有博士和/或医学博士学位的候选人。

Project Summary/Abstract This grant will support a new postdoctoral training program in cardiovascular and chronic disease prevention that builds on a prior successful 45-year training program at the Stanford Prevention Research Center (SPRC). The program’s objective is to mentor doctoral level scientists in interdisciplinary and translational population- and individual-level behavioral research aimed at preventing CVD and other prevalent chronic diseases. The program strongly emphasizes interdisciplinary behavioral interventions that can advance health equity. This application coincides with a period of sustained excellence and innovation for SPRC. A new chief, Dr. David Maron, leads a growing faculty focusing on cutting-edge scientific inquiry in a diverse array of interdisciplinary fields, including digital and precision health, community-led participatory research for advancing health equity, gender health, aging, the microbiome, global health, and healthy people-healthy environments research. The training program faculty represent a range of disciplines, including behavioral and social sciences, medicine, epidemiology, public health, biostatistics, physiology, nutrition science, exercise science, environmental science, communication, and education. In addition to a portfolio of NIH-funded research activities that include observational and clinical trial designs and methods, SPRC has built a Wellness Living Laboratory (WELL) consisting of ~28,000 “citizen scientists” from the U.S. as well as China, Taiwan and Singapore. WELL’s long- term cohort and array of experimental studies provide additional rich research opportunities for trainees. Postdoctoral training will focus on direct mentored research experiences in a rich, interdisciplinary science environment that totals ~$10 million annually. Fellows work closely with a primary and secondary mentor and join a research team where they learn collaboratively about study design and methods, data collection and analyses, manuscript preparation, and other dissemination mechanisms to speed the translation of research to practice. Formal instruction in grant preparation is provided through a diverse range of didactic and experiential methods. Such SPRC and Medical School training opportunities are complemented by a broad array of resources offered by the Stanford CTSA in addition to career development programs provided by the Stanford Office of Postdoctoral Affairs and other Stanford resources. Fellow selection prioritizes interest in chronic disease prevention, potential for a productive research career and demonstrated scientific excellence and potential. Of the 49 fellows completing the prior fellowship in the past 15 years (2005-2020), 82% (40/49) currently hold research-related positions. SPRC also is strongly committed to diversity; of the 38 prior SPRC fellows appointed in the past decade, 68% were women and 32% were under-represented minorities (5 Hispanic, 4 African American, 2 Native American, 1 disadvantaged white). We request funding for 4 postdoctoral fellow slots in Year 1 and 7 in Years 2-5 for candidates with a PhD and/or MD.
