DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a revised, new application for a training program in Hypertension research to support 3 predoctoral and 3 postdoctoral trainees. The overall goal is to produce top quality independent investigators with a strong translational approach who can develop and sustain outstanding Hypertension research programs. The training faculty consists of 35 mentors from 14 Departments (Aging, Anesthesiology, Applied Physiology & Kinesiology, Biomedical Engineering, Clinical Psychology, Medicinal Chemistry, Medicine, Pathology & Immunology, Pediatrics, Pharmacodynamics, Pharmacology & Therapeutics, Pharmacy Practice, Physiology and Functional Genomics, Physiological Sciences (Veterinary), Surgery). In addition to 4 of the 6 colleges that form the Health Science Center (Medicine, Pharmacy, Veterinary Medicine and Health-Related Professions), there is representation from the Colleges of Health and Human Performance and Engineering. The faculty consists of clinicians and basic scientists with a wide range of interests and expertise, focused on vascular endothelium and neural control of blood pressure. All the faculty are members of the Hypertension Center and participate in the seminar series and many have active collaborations with each other. The majority of the predoctoral trainees will be recruited and initially trained through the College of Medicine's Interdisciplinary Program in Biomedical Sciences (IDP). The pool of trainee grant eligible candidates from the entire US has averaged 170/year during the past 3 years with ~ 50/year entering the training program. These trainees enter with an average combined verbal plus quantitative GRE scores of -1200-1250, and undergraduate GPAs of ~3.5. The IDP provides comprehensive lecture and laboratory courses as well as laboratory rotations and advanced course work in specialized disciplines. All students receive training in bioethics, statistics and communication skills. Subsequent training focuses on independent research in the laboratory of choice. The predoctoral training takes ~ 5 years with the first year provided by the respective college, an average of 3-4 years support anticipated from the training grant and additional funds supplied by the mentors research grants. Postdoctoral trainees are recruited nationally directly into the laboratory of choice. A large pool of qualified MD fellows is available, mainly through Cardiology and Nephrology Training Programs (Medicine). Training focuses almost exclusively on laboratory research supplemented with seminars and journal clubs and other methods of development of communication skills. Postdoctoral training lasts 3-4 years with 2-3 years support anticipated from the training grant and additional funds supplied by the mentors grants.

描述（由申请人提供）： 这是一项经过修订的新申请，用于高血压研究中的培训计划，以支持3名催眠前和3名博士后学员。总体目标是通过强大的转化方法生产高质量的独立研究人员，他们可以开发和维持出色的高血压研究计划。培训教师由来自14个部门的35名导师（老化，麻醉，应用生理学和运动学，生物医学工程，临床心理学，药物学，医学，病理学和免疫学，儿科，药效学，药理学，药理学和药理学实践，药物学，生理学和功能性基因组学），生理学研究，科学，科学，科学研究。除了构成健康科学中心（医学，药学，兽医医学和与健康相关的职业）的6所学院中的4所外，卫生与人类绩效和工程学院还代表。该教师由具有广泛兴趣和专业知识的临床医生和基础科学家组成，重点是血管内皮和血压的神经控制。所有的教职员工都是高血压中心的成员，并参加了研讨会系列，许多人彼此积极合作。大多数学员将通过医学院的生物医学科学跨学科计划（IDP）招募并最初接受培训。在过去的3年中，来自美国整个美国的合格候选人的资助库池均为170/年，约50/年进入培训计划。这些受训者的平均言语和定量GRE得分为-1200-1250，本科GPA的量化为〜3.5。 IDP提供全面的讲座和实验室课程，以及实验室轮换和专业学科的高级课程工作。所有学生都接受生物伦理学，统计和沟通技巧的培训。随后的培训着重于选择实验室的独立研究。培训前培训需要约5年的第一年，该学院的第一年平均提供了3 - 4年的支持，预计培训补助金以及导师研究补助金提供的额外资金。博士后学员将直接招募到首选实验室。提供大量合格的MD研究员，主要是通过心脏病学和肾脏学培训计划（医学）。培训几乎专注于补充研讨会和期刊俱乐部以及其他沟通技巧发展方法的实验室研究。博士后培训持续3 - 4年，预计培训补助金和导师赠款提供的额外资金提供了2 - 3年的支持。
