Description (provided by applicant): In recent years, the vascular research programs within the Michael E. DeBakey Department of Surgery at the Baylor College of Medicine have been transformed to a high standard, producing great achievements and a great reputation. The program has attracted more and more medical students and surgical residents who are interested in a surgical research/academic career. The ultimate goal of the proposed T32 program, entitled "Molecular Surgeon Research Training on Vascular Disease," is to enhance the professional development and research capabilities of r surgical residents or fellows with a specific interest in academic careers as future vascular surgeon-scientists. This program will provide a multidisciplinary training for surgical residents or fellows for 2 years in 4 areas of opportunity within a broader field of vascular disease research including: 1) Tissue engineering and vascular imaging; 2) HIV related vascular complications; 3) Vascular injury and remodeling; and 4) Angiogenesis and vascular cell differentiation. These areas represent the strength of our training faculty and resources, clinical relevance, innovation of sciences, and uniqueness of program. There are 17 members of the program faculty from the Department of Surgery (6), Department of Medicine (4), Department of Pediatrics (2),Department of Bioengineering (2),Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (1),Department of Molecular Virology and Microbiology (1),and Molecular Physiology and Biophysics (1). Each training area includes at least four faculty members. At least one faculty member in each training area comes from the Department of Surgery. All faculty members have NIH grant support in the relevant areas of research as well as have training experience. This five-year training grant will support 2 surgical residents or fellows per year, plus supplies, course work and travel allowances. Selection of the trainees will be based on candidates' demonstrated potential, ability and career choice of academic surgery. Trainees carry out their own projects under the guidance of their mentors' selected from the program faculty based on the background and research interest of the individual trainee. In addition, each trainee will participate in a core curriculum on biostatistics, ethical issues in research, scientific integrity, manuscript and grant preparation, and laboratory safety; workshops that provide in-depth training in each of the major investigative areas; research seminars; research conferences; and elective course work keyed to each trainee's research area. Trainees are not involved in any clinical activities unless research related. Extensive resources and core facilities are available for trainees, and special efforts are made to attract candidates from underrepresented minorities. The program is conducted and closely supervised by the program director (Dr. Johnny Chen), co-director (Dr. Alan B. Lumsden), operating committee, and advisory committee. At the completion of the program, surgical residents or fellows will be strongly prepared for academic positions from which they will launch their investigative careers in vascular surgery. Thus, this training program represents an effort at the Baylor College of Medicine to reverse the current national decline trend in the number of surgical residents and surgeons/physicians who are entering into academic research oriented careers.

描述（由申请人提供）：近年来，贝勒医学院迈克尔E. Debakey手术系内的血管研究计划已转变为高标准，取得了巨大的成就和巨大的声誉。该计划吸引了对外科研究/学术职业感兴趣的越来越多的医学生和外科居民。拟议的T32计划的最终目标是“血管疾病的分子外科医生研究培训”，是为了增强R外科居民或研究员的专业发展和研究能力，或者具有对学术职业作为未来血管外科医生的特定兴趣。 该计划将在更广泛的血管疾病研究领域的4个机会领域为手术居民或研究员提供多学科培训，包括：1）组织工程和血管成像； 2）与HIV相关的血管并发症； 3）血管损伤和重塑； 4）血管生成和血管细胞分化。这些领域代表了我们培训教师和资源，临床相关性，科学创新以及计划独特性的优势。该计划学院有17名外科学院（6），医学系（4），儿科学系（2），生物工程系（2），耳鼻喉科 - 颈部和颈部外科系（1），分子病毒学和微生物学和微生物学系（1），以及分子生理学和生物学和生物学（1）。每个培训领域至少包括四名教职员工。每个培训领域的至少一名教职员工来自手术系。所有教职员工在相关研究领域都有NIH赠款的支持以及培训经验。 这项为期五年的培训补助金将支持每年2个手术居民或研究员，以及供应，课程工作和旅行津贴。选拔者的选择将基于候选人表现出的学术手术的潜力，能力和职业选择。受训者根据各个学员的背景和研究兴趣从计划教师中选出的导师的指导下进行自己的项目。此外，每个学员将参加有关生物统计学，研究，科学完整性，手稿和赠款准备以及实验室安全的核心课程；在每个主要调查领域提供深入培训的研讨会；研究研讨会；研究会议；和选修课程的工作是每个学员的研究领域。除非研究相关，否则学员不会参与任何临床活动。可以为受训人员提供广泛的资源和核心设施，并为吸引代表性不足的少数群体的候选人做出了特殊努力。该计划由计划主任（Johnny Chen博士），联合主任（Alan B. Lumsden博士），运营委员会和咨询委员会进行密切监督。 该计划完成后，将为学术职位做好准备，他们将在这些职位上为他们从事血管手术的调查职业做好准备。因此，该培训计划代表了贝勒医学院的一项努力，以扭转正在从事学术研究职业的手术居民和外科医生/医师的当前国家衰落趋势。
