Over the past two decades, Maine Medical Center Research Institute, a component of MaineHealth, has built a highly competitive research program encompassing basic, translational, clinical, and health services research to support and enhance the healthcare needs of the state of Maine. Our focus on developing basic biomedical research to support translational programs has been supported by the formation of Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (2000-present), and in 2017, a multi-institute Northern New England Clinical and Translational Research Network to establish infrastructure required for extending clinical research efforts. We have maintained a focus on medical training programs, with prominent academic affiliations with Tufts University School of Medicine, with 40 of their medical students in a Maine Track program and 20 ongoing residency and fellowship programs. Of note, recent expansions in graduate medical education include the addition of a Rural Track in our Internal Medicine residency, and an enhanced focus on research as part of residency and fellowships. These efforts have been bolstered by institutional investments to support medical students and physicians in expanded options for research, and the alignment of research mentors with these commitments. Research and clinical strengths at Maine Medical Center include topics of high relevance to the mission of the NHLBI, including vessel wall biology, vascular development, myocardial injury, heart failure, vascular progenitor cells, vascular inflammation, adipose/vascular interactions, endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular disease; and clinical research addressing cardiac arrest, cystic fibrosis, hemorrhagic shock, vascular complications of trauma, and genetics/epidemiology of disease. This proposal requests the needed support to fulfill the objective of the NHLBI to develop the biomedical research workforce focusing on a unique population of medical students in Maine. This proposal requests funds to focus on providing rigorous, full-time summer research training experiences for Maine Track medical students. While some of those students may already have an interest in research, this new program will broaden our educational scope to include translational biomedical research. Currently, all Maine Track students are required to complete a scholarly project as part of their medical training, and we have an established infrastructure to support research experiences in the summer after the first year of study. Our vision is to enhance this pipeline to increase our community of rigorously trained physicians who are comfortable working across the basic-translational-clinical research spectrum to promote public health. While this is a long-term and ambitious goal, it is even more pressing in an environment such as the rural state of Maine, which does not have a portfolio of large academic medical centers that attract a high number of medical students, residents or fellows interested in translational research. This proposal requests funding for ten short-term summer experiences for medical students in the Tufts Maine Track with experienced mentors committed to promotion of mentorship and training.

在过去的二十年里，缅因州医疗中心研究所（MaineHealth 的一部分）建立了一个 竞争激烈的研究项目，包括基础、转化、临床和健康服务研究 支持和增强缅因州的医疗保健需求。我们专注于发展基础生物医学 支持转化计划的研究得到了生物医学中心的支持 卓越研究（2000 年至今），并于 2017 年，新英格兰北部多机构临床和 转化研究网络建立扩大临床研究工作所需的基础设施。我们 一直专注于医疗培训项目，与塔夫茨大学有着显着的学术联系 大学医学院，有 40 名医学生参加缅因州轨道项目，还有 20 名正在学习 住院医师和奖学金计划。值得注意的是，最近研究生医学教育的扩展包括 在我们的内科住院医师实习中增加了农村轨道，并加强对研究的关注，作为 居住和奖学金。这些努力得到了支持医疗的机构投资的支持 学生和医生扩大研究选择，以及研究导师与这些的协调 承诺。缅因州医疗中心的研究和临床优势包括与以下领域高度相关的主题： NHLBI 的使命，包括血管壁生物学、血管发育、心肌损伤、心力衰竭、 血管祖细胞、血管炎症、脂肪/血管相互作用、内皮功能障碍和 心血管疾病；以及针对心脏骤停、囊性纤维化、失血性休克的临床研究， 创伤的血管并发症以及疾病的遗传学/流行病学。本提案要求需要 支持实现 NHLBI 的目标，即培养专注于独特领域的生物医学研究队伍 缅因州的医学生人数。该提案要求资金重点用于提供严格的、全职的 缅因轨道医学生的夏季研究培训经历。虽然其中一些学生可能 已经对研究感兴趣，这个新计划将扩大我们的教育范围，包括 转化生物医学研究。目前，所有缅因州轨道学生都必须完成学术课程 项目作为他们医疗培训的一部分，我们拥有成熟的基础设施来支持研究 第一年学习后暑假的经历。我们的愿景是加强这条管道，以增加我们的 由经过严格培训的医生组成的社区，他们能够轻松地在基础-转化-临床领域工作 促进公众健康的研究范围。虽然这是一个长期而雄心勃勃的目标，但更重要的是 在像缅因州这样的农村州这样的环境中，该州没有大量的学术成果。 吸引大量对转化感兴趣的医学生、住院医师或研究员的医疗中心 研究。该提案要求为医学生的十次短期暑期体验提供资金 塔夫茨缅因赛道拥有经验丰富的导师，致力于促进指导和培训。
