Description (provided by applicant): Advances in noninvasive methods of measuring atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis have changed the field of CV epidemiology by providing more precise and useful phenotypes for CVD expression. Technology is constantly changing, requiring new protocols to match the capabilities of new equipment. Under the leadership of Dr. Kim Sutton-Tyrrell, this program is designed to provide concentrated training in the quality collection of subclinical atherosclerosis measures and how they can be used to understand the process of atherosclerosis. The training program is organized around four major research strengths: vascular aging, women's health, high risk and international populations and genetics. The unifying theme is the application of subclinical atherosclerosis measures to each research area. Core strengths in nutrition, exercise, biostatistics, multi-center collaborations and psychosocial measures are also integrated into the program. This interconnected set of resources will provide a rich substrate upon which the trainees will develop. Trainees will have a primary mentor and will also work closely with other faculty members as well as a peer mentor who is a more experienced trainee. The training program consists of course work, research field work and professional development, all individually tailored to each trainee. Research field work includes recruitment, data collection, entry and management, study operations and data analysis, providing trainees with experience in the full range of research tasks. Professional development activities include focused work with subclinical measures, completion of an independent research project, a remote training experience, grant writing experience, manuscript preparation, participation in national conferences, skill development workshops and training in the responsible conduct of research. Trainees will also have the opportunity to develop laboratory-based and analytical skills in genetic epidemiology. The program is designed to produce investigators skilled in a multidisciplinary approach to cardiovascular research, who are comfortable with using subclinical measures in cross-discipline collaborations and who have the skills to develop new measurement protocols.

描述（由申请人提供）：无创方法的进展测量动脉粥样硬化和动脉粥样硬化，通过为CVD表达提供了更精确和有用的表型，改变了CV流行病学领域。技术正在不断变化，需要新协议以匹配新设备的功能。在Kim Sutton-Tyrrell博士的领导下，该计划旨在在亚临床动脉粥样硬化措施的质量收集中提供集中的培训，以及如何用于了解动脉粥样硬化的过程。该培训计划围绕四个主要的研究优势组织：血管衰老，妇女健康，高风险以及国际人口和遗传学。统一的主题是将亚临床动脉粥样硬化措施应用于每个研究领域。该计划还将营养，运动，生物统计学，多中心协作和社会心理措施的核心优势纳入计划中。这套相互联系的资源集将提供丰富的基材，学者将在其上发展。学员将有一位主要导师，还将与其他教职员工以及经验丰富的学员的同伴导师密切合作。培训计划当然是针对每个学员量身定制的研究，研究现场工作和专业发展。研究现场工作包括招聘，数据收集，进入和管理，研究操作和数据分析，为受训人员提供全部研究任务的经验。专业发展活动包括以亚临床措施的重点工作，完成独立研究项目，远程培训经验，赠款写作经验，手稿准备，参加国家会议，技能发展研讨会和负责任的研究进行培训。学员还将有机会发展基于实验室的遗传流行病学技能。该计划旨在生产熟练的跨学科方法的调查人员来进行心血管研究，他们愿意在跨学科合作中使用亚临床措施，并具有开发新的测量协议的技能。
