项目摘要

Summary This new R25 program is designed to engage undergraduate students in multi-disciplinary translational cardiovascular research directed toward the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). There are too few under-represented racial/ethnic minorities, individuals with disabilities, and people from rural and inner-city locations who are pursuing careers in CVD research (all recognized by the NHLBI task force review of research training and career development programs). This program is designed to involve students from these backgrounds in multi-disciplinary research activities to reduce the burden of CVD. Our 5-year proposal will enroll 12 sophomore students each year into a multi-year commitment that combines the summer research stipend from this proposed NIH award with an educational curriculum supported by each student’s undergraduate institution of higher learning in Virginia (including historically minority-serving universities), and the research strengths of Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) – including an NIH Clinical and Translational Science Award and the VCU Pauley Heart Center. Key features of this proposed R25 program include: 1) pairing each trainee with a funded research mentor whose research focuses on CVD; 2) outstanding multidisciplinary faculty who are seasoned mentors; 3) access to multiple phenotypic and biologic materials from major NIH-funded basic science, prospective cohort, or clinical trials at VCU through the supporting program faculty; 4) courses provided by the existing undergraduate, graduate, and medical school faculty to supplement areas of CVD research not previously experienced by students; and 5) two institutional seminar series that enhance interactions with other students and individuals from multiple disciplines. A group of racially and gender diverse faculty from six (6) universities who will be a part of the proposed program already have experience mentoring 12 students in a successful and comparable program in the prior year. All faculty have NIH or VA extramural or other peer- reviewed funding; strong institutional support (financial resources, facilities, and equipment); robust integration with the VCU Center of Health Disparities for recruiting and training minority individuals; and support for key professional development activities such as presentations and grant and manuscript writing. The ultimate goal of this R25 program is to attract and train a cohort of outstanding young students from six (6) undergraduate institutions within Virginia to become fluent in the latest developments of CVD multidisciplinary translational research, who will be well prepared to pursue future careers in cardiovascular health. Accomplishing this goal would augment the number of under-represented racial/ethnic minorities, those with disabilities and persons from rural and inner-city communities into graduate programs focused on developing new advances in multi-disciplinary translational research to treat and prevent cardiovascular disease, a major public health issue.

概括这个新的 R25 项目旨在让本科生参与多学科转化心血管研究旨在诊断、治疗和预防心血管疾病 (CVD) 少数族裔/族裔、残疾人和人口的代表性不足。来自农村和市中心地区，正在从事 CVD 研究的职业（均获得 NHLBI 认可）研究培训和职业发展计划的工作组审查）该计划的目的是。让来自这些背景的学生参与多学科研究活动，以减轻负担我们的 5 年提案将每年招收 12 名新生，以实现多年承诺：将 NIH 拟议奖项的夏季研究津贴与教育课程结合起来由每个学生在弗吉尼亚州的本科高等教育机构（包括历史上少数族裔服务大学）以及弗吉尼亚联邦大学 (VCU) 的研究优势 – 包括 NIH 临床和转化科学奖以及弗吉尼亚联邦大学保利心脏中心 (VCU Pauley Heart Center)。拟议的 R25 计划包括：1) 将每位受训者与一位受资助的研究导师配对，该导师的研究导师研究重点是CVD；2）经验丰富的优秀多学科教师；3）获得来自 NIH 资助的主要基础科学、前瞻性队列或的多种表型和生物材料通过支持项目教师在弗吉尼亚联邦大学进行临床试验；4) 由现有的课程提供本科生、研究生和医学院教师补充以前没有的CVD研究领域学生体验；5）两个机构研讨会系列，增强与其他人的互动来自多个学科的学生和个人，由六 (6) 名种族和性别多样化的教师组成。参与该计划的大学已经拥有指导 12 名学生的经验上一年成功且可比的项目所有教师均拥有 NIH 或 VA 校外或其他同行的学位。审查资金；强有力的机构支持（财政资源、设施和设备）；与弗吉尼亚联邦大学健康差异中心整合，招募和培训少数群体；以及支持关键的专业发展活动，例如演讲、资助和手稿写作。 R25项目的最终目标是吸引和培养一批来自六大洲的优秀青年学子。 (6)弗吉尼亚州内的本科院校能够熟练掌握CVD的最新发展多学科转化研究，将为未来从事心血管领域的职业做好充分准备实现这一目标将增加代表性不足的种族/族裔的数量。少数族裔、残疾人以及来自农村和市中心社区的人进入研究生重点项目开发多学科转化研究的新进展，以治疗并预防心血管疾病这一重大公共卫生问题。
