DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application for a new T32 training program at the University of Hawaii draws on the strengths of our dynamic new Center for Cardiovascular Research (CCR) and our established graduate program in Cell and Molecular Biology. We also have established an alliance with the Adult and Pediatric Cardiology Departments at Stanford University Medical School to enrich the local academic environment and increase the number of seasoned senior investigators available as mentors for our trainees. In recent years our medical school has embarked on a new direction, emphasizing basic investigation that has instilled new energy into our graduate programs. We have moved into a modern campus on the shore of Honolulu and attracted nationally competitive investigators. Our Cardiovascular Center has recruited or developed 5 independent investigators who have a principal focus on cardiovascular investigation. In addition we have a group of UH faculty with established research programs pertinent to cardiovascular science. With the help of our Stanford colleagues we now have the critical mass of investigators needed for a successful T32 program. We still have our roots in our minority-serving, clinically-focused school, but are adding an important level of scientific sophistication to serve our special location and multiethnic population. In this training program the CCR will coordinate the placement and mentoring of our best graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in laboratories devoted to cardiovascular projects. They will benefit from an established curriculum and CCR core resources, including histology/imaging, genomics, and rodent phenotyping. They will also be able to draw upon the resources of the Stanford "Mainland Mentors" for world-class expertise and research resources. Our goal is to train our next generation of cardiovascular investigators with special attention to the priorities of our people and state.

描述（由申请人提供）：夏威夷大学新 T32 培训项目的申请利用了我们充满活力的新心血管研究中心 (CCR) 以及我们已建立的细胞和分子生物学研究生项目的优势。我们还与斯坦福大学医学院的成人和儿童心脏病学系建立了联盟，以丰富当地的学术环境，并增加经验丰富的高级研究人员的数量，作为我们学员的导师。近年来，我们医学院走上了新的方向，强调基础研究，为我们的研究生课程注入了新的活力。我们已搬进檀香山海岸的现代化校园，并吸引了具有全国竞争力的研究人员。我们的心血管中心已招募或培养了 5 名主要从事心血管研究的独立研究人员。此外，我们还有一群夏威夷大学教职人员，他们已建立了与心血管科学相关的研究项目。在斯坦福大学同事的帮助下，我们现在拥有成功 T32 项目所需的关键研究人员数量。我们仍然扎根于为少数民族服务、以临床为重点的学校，但正在增加重要的科学复杂性，以服务于我们特殊的地理位置和多民族人口。在这个培训计划中，CCR 将协调我们最优秀的研究生和博士后研究员在专门从事心血管项目的实验室的安置和指导。他们将受益于既定的课程和 CCR 核心资源，包括组织学/成像、基因组学和啮齿动物表型分析。他们还将能够利用斯坦福大学“大陆导师”的资源，获得世界一流的专业知识和研究资源。我们的目标是培训下一代心血管研究人员，特别关注我们人民和国家的优先事项。
