DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The diagnosis and management of CV disease relies on non-invasive testing to enhance the identification of high risk patients and optimize management strategies. Molecular imaging is a key tool to improve risk assessment and lead to more individualized approaches to diagnosing and treating disease. Our objective is to produce CV imaging specialists with the clinical and investigative skills to establish independent careers, mentor others, and lead their own CV Imaging programs. We designed a comprehensive curriculum-based training program in multi-modality CV Imaging research that includes: (1) a 2-year training program in translational research taught by a multidisciplinary faculty of MD and/or PhD scientists; (2) an extended didactic clinical and basic science research curriculum consisting of orientation lectures; basic analytic and bioethics courses, advanced course work (including two program-specific advanced courses); and ongoing learning opportunities; and (3) a mentored clinical or translational research experience that includes formal training in research methodology, and the development of a research project including protocol development, experimental execution, critical data analysis, oral presentation, manuscript writing, and grant preparation. We seek NIH support for research training in imaging science for 2 fellows (MD or MD PhD) annually. Our program is opened to cardiologists, radiologists and other imaging specialists. We have assembled a group of 12 outstanding faculty mentors, each of whom are pursuing research at the cutting-edge of cardiac imaging science. Collectively, they have over 50 active extramural grants and have mentored over 170 pre/post doctoral fellows in various aspects of basic and clinical cardiac imaging research. Extensive collaboration among the faculty, trainees, and other investigators throughout the BWH, MGH, and Harvard Medical School communities, further increase the Program's scientific impact. We anticipate that our trainees will fulfill our overall objectives and that our graduates will disseminate CV Imaging training, ultimately creating a critical mass of imaging scientists to meet the health care needs of our population. RELEVANCE (See instructions): There is a severe shortage of trained individuals with the knowledge and skills to bridge the gap between imaging technology and the evidence to support the use of such technology. The proposed training program is particularly valuable now that cardiovascular imaging has become the 'hot button' for policy makers because of its effect on costs.

描述（由申请人提供）：CV疾病的诊断和管理依赖于非侵入性测试来增强高风险患者的识别并优化管理策略。分子成像是改善风险评估并导致诊断和治疗疾病的更多个性化方法的关键工具。我们的目标是通过临床和调查技能生产简历成像专家，以建立独立的职业，指导他人并领导自己的简历成像计划。我们设计了一项全面的基于课程的培训计划，用于多模式CV成像研究，其中包括：（1）由MD和/或博士学位科学家的多学科学院教授的2年翻译研究培训计划； （2）由方向讲座组成的扩展的教学临床和基础科学研究课程；基本的分析和生物伦理学课程，高级课程工作（包括两个特定于计划的高级课程）；和持续的学习机会； （3）一种受过指导的临床或翻译研究经验，包括研究方法的正式培训以及研究项目的开发，包括协议开发，实验执行，批判数据分析，口头介绍，手稿写作和赠款准备。我们每年为2家研究员（MD或MD博士学位）的成像科学研究培训寻求NIH支持。我们的计划向心脏病专家，放射科医生和其他成像专家开放。我们组建了一组杰出的教师导师，每个人都在心脏成像科学的尖端进行研究。他们总体上拥有50多个主动卫生赠款，并在基本和临床心脏成像研究的各个方面指导了170多个博士学位前/博士学位研究员。整个BWH，MGH和哈佛医学院社区的教师，学员和其他调查员之间进行了广泛的合作，进一步增加了该计划的科学影响。我们预计我们的学员将实现我们的整体目标，我们的毕业生将传播简历成像培训，最终创造大量成像科学家，以满足我们人口的医疗保健需求。相关性（请参阅说明）：严重缺乏受过训练的人，具有知识和技能，以弥合成像技术与支持使用此类技术的证据之间的差距。既然心血管成像已成为政策制定者的“热门按钮”，则提出的培训计划尤其有价值。
