The dual-edged problem of racial/ethnic disparities in health and the under-representation of minority scientists are two of the most compelling challenges facing the field of biomedicine. Minority-Serving Institutions are under-utilized as part of the solution to these vexing problems. The Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) is uniquely positioned to utilize this P30 award mechanism to redress these issues as a minority-serving academic health center that integrates its tripartite mission of: educating a high proportion of minority students; providing quality medical care to under-served minority communities and pursuing scientific excellence in minority health research. The MSM executive leadership has a long-term institutional commitment to the goal of establishing the MSM Cardiovascular Research Institute (CVRI) as one of the nation's preeminent multi-disciplinary research centers of excellence and research training programs that prioritizes minority health research and training the next generation of minority scientists. Our approach seeks to build strength upon strength by enabling the CVRI Director to focus the P30 program resources on our three major assets ~ our faculty, our research infrastructure and our future scientists. Accordingly, the three major objectives of this P30 program are: 1) the retention and career development of 'new investigators' that have already been recruited to the CVRI, 2) the ongoing enhancement of our shared-use resources, and 3) the further refinement of our research training environment for under-represented minority students. These objectives will be achieved by pursuing the following specific aims: Aim I: To retain and mentor a critical mass of talented new investigators that develop independent research programs and multi-disciplinary, collaborative research teams. Aim II: To establish enabling technologies and a shared-use research infrastructure that supports leading edge cardiovascular science. Aim III: To expand the racial/ethnic diversity of the biomedical research community by sustaining a vibrant intellectual environment conducive to training and nurturing the development of minority students into leading investigators. Aim IV: To develop innovative, cross-disciplinary research programs that integrate basic, translational, clinical and population science approaches to address racial/ethnic disparities in cardiovascular health.

卫生中种族/族裔差异的双重问题和少数族裔科学家的代表性不足是生物医学领域面临的两个最引人注目的挑战。作为解决这些烦恼问题的解决方案的一部分，少数派服务机构的利用不足。 Morehouse医学院（MSM）具有独特的位置，可以利用该P30奖励机制来纠正这些问题，作为少数职业服务的学术健康中心，该中心将其三方任务整合为：教育很大比例的少数学生；为服务不足的少数民族社区提供优质的医疗服务，并在少数民族健康研究中追求卓越的科学卓越。 MSM执行领导层具有长期的机构承诺，即建立MSM心血管研究所（CVRI）作为美国杰出的卓越和研究培训计划中的杰出的多学科研究中心之一，将少数民族健康研究和下一代少数少数民族科学家培训优先。我们的方法试图通过使CVRI总监能够将P30计划资源集中在我们的三个主要资产上〜我们的教职员工，我们的研究基础设施和未来的科学家，以增强力量。因此，该P30计划的三个主要目标是：1）已经招募到CVRI的“新调查人员”的保留和职业发展，2）我们共享使用资源的持续增强，以及3）进一步改善了我们的研究培训环境，以使我们多样化的少数派学生。这些目标将通过追求以下特定目标来实现： 目标I：保留和指导一大批才华横溢的新调查人员，以开发独立的研究计划和多学科的合作研究团队。 AIM II：建立支持技术的共享技术，支持前沿心血管科学。 AIM III：通过维持有利于培训和培育少数族裔学生发展为领先的研究人员的充满活力的知识环境，扩大生物医学研究界的种族/族裔多样性。 AIM IV：开发创新的，跨学科的研究计划，以整合基本，转化，临床和人口科学的方法来解决心血管健康中的种族/族裔差异。
