DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goals of this longstanding program in Hypertension remain the training of highly dedicated and talented young investigators capable of performing high quality biomedical research in the area of hypertension and the diseases and organs associated with this common medical condition. We focus upon the preparation of postdoctoral investigators for a career in academic research. We have added new faculty to expand to a Program Faculty of 14 scientists and new sources of cooperative funding extending beyond the confines of UCSD in terms of new NIH funded Center Grants. The additional faculty constitute younger but well funded faculty with specific talents and accomplishments in translational and clinical research. We also designate a group of secondary junior faculty that add to the mentoring process. We have additional institutional support by UCSD at the School of Medicine and Department levels. UCSD has also been awarded a recent NIH Clinical and Translational Science Award. The program will provide a range of interests, skills and approaches, ranging from basic, translational to clinical research. We have added oversight with an internationally recognized External Advisory Committee and appointment of an internal Associate Program Director. We have also added a Career Development course to assist trainees in academic skills including selection of initial faculty appointment. The final common pathway of hypertension is a complex, multifactorial process which not only produces end organ damage, but hypertension is also generated by organ processes, e.g., sympathetic nervous system, metabolic and endocrine factors, and, critically influenced by the response of the kidney. This is a competitive continuation application which has successfully trained young investigators that have been placed in academic positions at a high rate over the past cycle of grant funding. We have decided to eliminate the predoctoral training program and focus upon postdoctoral training, a program that has enjoyed outstanding record of academic placement of M.D.s and Ph.D.s over many years. Postdoctoral trainees are selected from an excellent pool of well qualified applicants from the competitive Nephrology- Hypertension fellowship program and from applications to members of the Program Faculty. We are requesting an increase in postdoctoral positions from 4 to 5 per year. The recruitment of faculty representing new disciplines have strengthened the program. We have emphasized the diversity of recruitments and have emphasized the formal coursework requirements and opportunities including courses on the proper conduct of ethical research activities. San Diego is a rich research environment and provides a wide spectrum of educational opportunities in basic, translational and clinical investigation. Thus, this training program has been expanded and has enjoyed major success in placing trainees in academic careers throughout the USA and continues to provide a wide variety of research disciplines and fields of investigation pertinent to the broad area of hypertension.

描述（由申请人提供）：这项长期以来的高血压计划的总体目标仍然是对能够在高血压领域进行高质量生物医学研究以及与这种常见病情相关的疾病和器官进行高质量生物医学研究的培训。我们专注于在学术研究中为博士后研究人员的准备。我们添加了新的教职员工，以扩展到由14位科学家和新的合作资金来源的计划教师，这些资金扩展到了UCSD的范围，从新的NIH资助中心赠款方面。额外的教职员工构成了年轻但资助丰富的教师，具有转化和临床研究的特定才能和成就。我们还指定了一组中级初级教师，这些教师增加了指导过程。 UCSD在医学院和部门级别提供了额外的机构支持。 UCSD还获得了NIH临床和转化科学奖。该计划将提供一系列兴趣，技能和方法，从基本，转化到临床研究。我们与国际认可的外部咨询委员会和任命内部副计划主任相比增加了监督。我们还添加了职业发展课程，以帮助学员获得学术技能，包括选择初步教师任命。高血压的最终常见途径是一个复杂的多因素过程，不仅会产生最终器官损害，而且高血压也由器官过程（例如交感神经系统，代谢和内分泌因子）产生，并受肾脏反应的严重影响。这是一个竞争性的延续申请，已成功培训了年轻的调查员，这些调查员在过去的赠款资金周期中以高速度置于学术职位。我们已决定取消术前培训计划，并专注于博士后培训，该计划在多年来一直在M.D.S和博士学位的学术上获得出色的记录。博士后学员是从竞争性肾脏学 - 高血压奖学金计划的优质申请人中选出的，并从申请到该计划教师的成员。我们要求每年4个增加到5个。代表新学科的教师的招募加强了该计划。我们强调了招聘的多样性，并强调了正式的课程要求和机会，包括有关适当行动的道德研究活动的课程。圣地亚哥是一个丰富的研究环境，在基础，转化和临床研究中提供了广泛的教育机会。因此，该培训计划已扩大，并在将学员置于美国的学术职业方面取得了重大成功，并继续提供各种与高血压领域有关的研究学科和调查领域。
