ABSTRACT The LSU Health Sciences Center in Shreveport (LSUHSC-S) has seen a steady increase in grant funding in the past few years, in particular in the area of cardiovascular diseases. Areas of research focus include atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy, peripheral artery disease, microvascular dysfunction in response to cardiovascular disease risk factors, stroke and the vascular/heart-brain axis. Principle Investigators leading this research are members of our Center for Cardiovascular Diseases and Sciences (CCDS). Their efforts now consistute more than 50% of total NIH funding at LSUHSC-S. There is considerable cross-collaboration and sharing of expertise between CCDS members, positioning us to focus on training young researchers in cardiovascular diseases. We have identified undergraduate students as the population least served in terms of research experience on our campus. Therefore we propose the development of the Cardiovascular Undergraduate Research Initiative fOr Underrepresented Students (CURIOUS) Program. This will be an intensive 8-week summer research program targeted at underrepresented students from all over the USA, but with particular emphasis on the 6 four-year universities in the northwest Louisiana region, and surrounding states where there are large underserved populations and high rates of cardiovascular disease. Students will have 8 weeks of research in a lab with a cardiovascular-related focus, complemented by didactic lectures in the responsible conduct of research, interaction with seminar speakers invited specifically for the students in this program, and lunches to informally learn about student life, diversity and financial preparedness for graduate school. In addition there will be 2 types of weekly experiences: 1) cardiovascular basics, and state-of-the-art techniques that will give students an introduction to basic cardiovascular anatomy and pathology before teaching them advanced techniques we use to interrogate cardiovscular disease, such as echo and endoPAT; and 2) career development in which there will be introduction to the medical and graduate school, as well as cardiopulmonary sciences, workshops on how to present yourself, write a CV, interview, and design a poster. Finally the students will present a poster in a designated poster session our LSUHSC-S. We will emphasize retention of students for 2 summers, and provide more advanced versions of the weekly experiences in year 2, culminating in an oral presentation. For the top-performing students, we will offer the opportunity to attend and present at a national conference. Therefore the CURIOUS program will enhance the research training of underrepresented undergraduates in the area of cardiovascular disease, and expose them to multiple career paths in which they can continue to pursue research. Overall, this effort is designed to improve the workforce available to move research on cardiovascular disease forward at a national level. !

抽象的 什里夫波特（LSUHSC-S）的LSU健康科学中心已经看到了拨款稳步增长 过去几年，尤其是在心血管疾病领域。研究重点包括 动脉粥样硬化，心肌梗塞，心肌病，周围动脉疾病，微血管功能障碍 对心血管疾病危险因素，中风和血管/心脑轴的反应。原则 领导这项研究的研究人员是我们心血管疾病和科学中心的成员 （CCD）。现在，他们的努力在LSUHSC-S统一了超过50％的NIH资金。有很多 CCD成员之间的交叉合作和共享专业知识，使我们专注于培训 心血管疾病的年轻研究人员。我们已经确定本科生是人口 在我们校园的研究经验方面，最不服务。因此，我们提出了 代表性不足的学生（好奇）计划的心血管本科研究计划。这 将是一项为期8周的密集的夏季研究计划，针对来自各地的代表性不足的学生 美国，但特别强调了路易斯安那州西北地区的6年四年制大学， 周围的州人口众多，心血管疾病的率高。 学生将在一个与心血管相关的焦点的实验室中进行8周的研究，并补充了教学法 负责任进行研究的讲座，与专门邀请的研讨会发言人的互动 该计划中的学生和午餐以非正式地了解学生的生活，多样性和财务 准备研究生院。此外，将有两种每周的经历：1）心血管 基础知识和最先进的技术将为学生提供基本心血管解剖的介绍 和病理学在教给他们先进的技术之前，我们用来询问心脏疾病，例如 作为回声和内巴特； 2）将介绍医疗和的职业发展 研究生院以及心肺科学，有关如何表现自己，写简历的讲习班， 采访并设计海报。最后，学生将在指定的海报会议上介绍一张海报 lsuhsc-s。我们将强调在两个夏天的学生中保留学生，并提供更高级的版本 第二年的每周经历，最终以口头介绍为顶。对于表现最好的学生，我们将 提供参加参加全国会议的机会。因此，好奇的程序将 增强心血管疾病领域中代表性不足的本科生的研究培训，以及 将它们暴露于多种职业道路上，他们可以继续进行研究。总的来说，这项工作是 旨在改善可用于转移有关心血管疾病的研究的劳动力 等级。 呢
