PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The primary objective of this program is to provide short-term (10 weeks) training experience for fifteen talented students in the area of cardiovascular function and disease. This research education opportunity will be provided to students from disadvantaged backgrounds, racial and ethnic minorities, and others who are underrepresented in biomedical research. The long-range goal is to increase the number of such students in health professions in cardiovascular biology through interest generated by exposure to a broad spectrum of research activities in this area. The 37 Program Faculty participating in the program have been selected on the basis of their active research programs in the areas of cardiovascular disease, cardiovascular development, cardiac stem cells and regenerative medicine, cell signaling, and proteomics that are supported by more than $11.4 million of extramural funds from the NIH/NHLBI. Several of the faculty also conduct clinical and implementation oriented research on diseases that disproportionately affect African Americans, notably hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. Students in the program are intimately involved in the ongoing projects in one of the participating laboratories, and are exposed to many aspects of conducting basic science and epidemiologic research. Students also participate in a lecture series that covers cutting edge topics in biological research, with a focus on topics related to cardiovascular function and disease and clinical/translational research. In addition, the lecture series covers laboratory safety and responsible conduct of research. At the conclusion of the training period, the students prepare a brief written paper and give an oral presentation on their project. They are also encouraged to return in November to present their research at the university-wide annual research day or to attend a national conference such as the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students. The program will be evaluated at the end of each year using a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches including analysis of applicant pool data and recruitment methods, as well as exit interviews and surveys with the students, and feedback from the mentors. Additionally, students' career choices and progress will be tracked by yearly contact with each of the participants.

项目摘要/摘要 该计划的主要目的是为短期（10周）培训经验 心血管功能和疾病领域的15名才华横溢的学生。这项研究教育 将向来自弱势背景，种族和少数民族的学生提供机会， 以及其他在生物医学研究中的人数不足的人。远程目标是增加 通过由心血管生物学的卫生专业中的此类学生人数通过 在该领域接触各种研究活动。 37个课程教师参加 在该计划中，已根据其在其积极研究计划中的领域中选出 心血管疾病，心血管发育，心脏干细胞和再生医学，细胞 信号传导和蛋白质组学由超过1,140万美元的校外资金支持 NIH/NHLBI。一些教师还对 不成比例地影响非裔美国人的疾病，特别是高血压，糖尿病和肥胖症。 该计划中的学生密切参与了一个参与的项目 实验室，并暴露于进行基础科学和流行病学的许多方面 研究。学生还参加了涵盖生物学尖端主题的讲座系列 研究，重点是与心血管功能和疾病以及临床/转化有关的主题 研究。此外，演讲系列涵盖了实验室安全和负责任的研究行为。 在培训期结束时，学生们准备简短的书面纸并给口头 在他们的项目中演示。还鼓励他们在11月返回以介绍他们的 在大学范围内的年度研究日或参加全国会议的研究，例如 少数民族学生的年度生物医学研究会议。该程序将在 每年结合了定性和定量方法的结合，包括分析 申请人游泳池数据和招聘方法，以及与学生的退出访谈和调查 和导师的反馈。此外，学生的职业选择和进步将由 与每个参与者的年度接触。
