DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary objective of this program is to provide short-term (10 weeks) training experience for sixteen 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 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. Several of the faculty also conduct clinical and outcomes 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. In addition, the lecture series covers laboratory safety and responsible conduct of research. In this application, we propose a new initiative that will give these students an opportunity to participate in activities with a clinical/translational focus in cardiovascular disease. 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. 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. (End of Abstract)

描述（由申请人提供）： 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16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。计划教师参加 该计划是根据其在其积极的研究计划中在 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。一些教师还进行临床和结果研究 关于不成比例地影响非洲裔美国人的疾病，特别是高血压，糖尿病和 肥胖。该计划中的学生密切参与了其中一个正在进行的项目 参与实验室，并受到进行基础科学和 流行病学研究。学生还参加了涵盖尖端主题的讲座系列 生物学研究，重点是与心血管功能和疾病有关的主题。此外， 演讲系列涵盖了实验室安全和负责任的研究行为。在此应用程序中，我们 提出一项新计划，将使这些学生有机会与 心血管疾病的临床/翻译重点。在培训期结束时， 学生们准备简短的书面纸，并在其项目上进行口头介绍。他们也是 鼓励在11月返回，在大学范围的年度研究日介绍他们的研究。 该计划将在每年年底使用定性和 定量方法，包括分析申请人池数据和招聘方法，以及 退出对学生的访谈和调查，以及导师的反馈。此外，学生的 与每个参与者的年度接触将跟踪职业选择和进步。 （抽象的结尾）
