项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This program will continue to provide short-term training for minority undergraduate, graduate and health professional students. The focus is on research training related to the cardiovascular system with an emphasis on teams of investigators involved in translational research, taking advantage of the broad, multidisciplinary cardiovascular research ongoing at Wake Forest University School of Medicine (WFUSM). Faculty from the Hypertension & Vascular Research Center, Department of Physiology & Pharmacology, Molecular Genetics Program, Molecular Medicine Program, Molecular & Cellular Pathology, Neuroscience Program, Divisions of Medicine and Surgery participate; many have participated in the program for 10-15 years. New faculty were recruited for the renewal in keeping with the program directors desire to develop mentoring skills in newly appointed or young investigators. The trainees will be minority students wishing to pursue a research project with one or more of the mentors. The overall objectives remain to 1) introduce students to biomedical research via hands-on participation in a research project; 2) introduce students to critical scientific evaluation by presenting a journal club paper; 3) provide experience in scientific writing and speaking via presentation of the research project as a poster; 4) provide exposure to research faculty, both basic science and clinical; and 5) foster a long-term commitment to pursue a career in the medical and behavioral sciences through an experience that exemplifies the excitement and challenges of clinically relevant investigation. Three new objectives include: 6) providing a focus on clinical and translational research with an emphasis on research teams; 7) promoting awareness of global issues in biomedical sciences relating to health disparities and limited diversity in biomedical research and graduate education through interactions with exchange students from Brazil; and 8) establishing an email newsletter to emphasize success of prior participants and help maintain contacts. The program is evaluated annually by trainees prior to their departure as well as biennially by all previous participants by survey. Approximately 35% of former participants attend graduate school (half in PhD and half in Master's programs), 25% enter a professional school (46% of these wish to include research as part of their career) and 15% enter technical or post-bac research programs; thus, 75% of those not currently still attending undergraduate school are in graduate, medical, or technical positions and 16% chose to continue study or work at WFUSM. Moroever, students overwhelmingly regard the experience as a positive influence on career choices. This program will continue to provide short-term training for minority undergraduate, graduate and health professional students. The focus is on research training related to the cardiovascular system with an emphasis on teams of investigators involved in translational research, taking advantage of the broad, multidisciplinary cardiovascular research ongoing at Wake Forest University School of Medicine (WFUSM).

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目将继续为少数民族本科生、研究生和卫生专业学生提供短期培训。重点是与心血管系统相关的研究培训，重点是参与转化研究的研究人员团队，利用维克森林大学医学院 (WFUSM) 正在进行的广泛、多学科的心血管研究。高血压与血管研究中心、生理学与药理学系、分子遗传学项目、分子医学项目、分子与细胞病理学、神经科学项目、医学和外科部门的教师参加；许多人已经参与该计划 10 至 15 年。为了满足项目主管培养新任命或年轻研究人员的指导技能的愿望，招募了新的教员进行更新。受训者将是希望与一位或多位导师一起开展研究项目的少数族裔学生。总体目标仍然是：1）通过实践参与研究项目向学生介绍生物医学研究； 2）通过发表期刊俱乐部论文向学生介绍批判性的科学评估； 3) 通过以海报形式展示研究项目，提供科学写作和演讲的经验； 4）提供接触基础科学和临床研究人员的机会； 5) 通过体现临床相关研究的兴奋和挑战的经验，培养对医学和行为科学职业生涯的长期承诺。三个新目标包括：6）关注临床和转化研究，重点关注研究团队； 7) 通过与来自巴西的交换生的互动，提高对生物医学科学中与健康差异和生物医学研究和研究生教育有限多样性有关的全球问题的认识； 8) 建立电子邮件通讯以强调先前参与者的成功并帮助保持联系。该计划每年由受训者在出发前进行评估，并且每两年由所有以前的参与者通过调查进行评估。大约 35% 的前参与者进入研究生院（一半攻读博士学位，一半攻读硕士课程），25% 进入专业学校（其中 46% 希望将研究作为其职业生涯的一部分），15% 进入技术或研究生课程研究计划；因此，目前未就读本科的学生中有 75% 担任研究生、医学或技术职位，16% 选择继续在世界联邦大学医学院学习或工作。此外，绝大多数学生认为这段经历对职业选择有积极影响。该项目将继续为少数民族本科生、研究生和卫生专业学生提供短期培训。重点是与心血管系统相关的研究培训，重点是参与转化研究的研究人员团队，利用维克森林大学医学院 (WFUSM) 正在进行的广泛、多学科心血管研究。（摘要完）
