DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Given the rising incidence of hypertension in the US, and the strong relationship between elevated blood pressure and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, there is a clear need for future hypertension researchers. This is the first competing continuation application of the University of Florida's "Multidisciplinary Training Program in Hypertension". The T32 is administered by the UF Hypertension Center and the research program is organized around the following major overlapping themes that reflect the expertise of the mentoring faculty: Endothelial injury and repair; neural control of vascular tone and BP; central and peripheral angiotensin II and nitric oxide control of blood pressure; pulmonary hypertension; cardiovascular damage and renal disease; exercise and cardiovascular injury and health; hypertension and aging/ sexual dimorphism; hypertension and obesity; hypertension in pregnancy; developmental origins of hypertension; pharmacogenomic approaches to antihypertensive treatments. There are 27 well funded, potential mentors drawn from 11 Departments/ Divisions in the UF Colleges of Engineering, Health and Human Performance, Medicine and Pharmacy and many of these mentors are actively collaborating. Chris Baylis Ph.D. is the director of the UF Hypertension Center and T32 Program Director. Peter Sayeski Ph.D., will become Associate director. General oversight of the program is by the Internal Advisory committee and External Advisory committee, chaired by Kathryn Sandberg, Ph.D. (Georgetown University). Recruitment and monitoring of trainee progress is by the PD and the Recruitment and Review (R@R) committee. The Hypertension Center provides the focus and support to the T32 trainees with the following activities: Monthly Hypertension Center seminar series; costs for annual visits of Dr. Sandberg; costs for 1 visit of each external mentor during training period of each trainee. The training program emphasizes the need for all trainees to effectively communicate, accomplished by participation in Journal Club; oral presentations twice a year before all active mentors, PD and the R@R committee and also before both internal and external advisory committees at the annual T32 retreats; annual presentations in the seminar series of the Department of primary affiliation; participation in weekly lab meetings and by attendance and presentation at national and international meetings. This T32 currently funds 3 predoctoral students and 3 postdoctoral trainees. During the first 5 years of this program we graduated 4 Ph.D. trainees (3 now in postdoctoral positions and 1 returned to medical school) with 3 in training. We have trained 4 postdoctoral fellows (an M.D. and 2 Ph.D.s who are now Assistant Professors and a Ph.D. who is currently seeking a research position in academia or industry. We are requesting that this number of stipends (3 predoctoral and 3 postdoctoral) be continued. We are requesting postdoctoral stipends at levels 2, 3 and 4 to accommodate recruitment of some M.D. trainees.

描述（由申请人提供）：鉴于美国高血压发病率上升，血压升高与心血管发病率和死亡率之间的牢固关系，对未来的高血压研究人员显然需要。这是佛罗里达大学“高血压多学科培训计划”的第一次竞争延续申请。 T32由UF高血压中心管理，研究计划是围绕以下主要重叠主题组织的，这些主题反映了指导教师的专业知识：内皮损伤和维修；血管张力和BP的神经控制；中枢和周围血管紧张素II以及一氧化氮对血压的控制；肺动脉高压;心血管损伤和肾脏疾病；运动，心血管损伤和健康；高血压和衰老/性二态性；高血压和肥胖；怀孕的高血压；高血压的发育起源；药物基因组学方法的降压治疗方法。 UF工程，健康与人类绩效，医学和药房中的11个部门/部门中，有27个资助良好的潜在导师，其中许多导师正在积极合作。克里斯·贝利斯（Chris Baylis）博士是UF高血压中心和T32计划总监的主任。彼得·塞恩斯基（Peter Sayeski）博士将成为副主任。该计划的一般监督由内部咨询委员会和外部咨询委员会，由凯瑟琳·桑德伯格（Kathryn Sandberg）主持。 （乔治敦大学）。 PD和招聘和审查（R@R）委员会招聘和监视受训者进步。高血压中心为T32学员提供了以下活动：每月高血压中心研讨会系列； Sandberg博士每年访问的费用；在每个学员的培训期间，每位外部导师1次访问的费用。培训计划强调了所有受训人员通过参加期刊俱乐部而实现的有效交流的必要性；在所有活跃导师，PD和R@R委员会以及在年度T32务虚会上的内部和外部咨询委员会之前，口头演讲两次；初级隶属关系系研讨会系列的年度演讲；参加每周实验室会议以及参加国家和国际会议的出席和演讲。该T32目前为3名学生和3名博士后学员提供资金。在该计划的前5年中，我们毕业了4博士学位。受训人员（3名现在担任博士后职位，1名返回医学院），接受了3名培训。我们已经培训了4名博士后研究员（医学博士学位和2个博士学位，他们现在是助理教授和博士学位，目前正在寻求学术界或行业的研究职位。我们要求这一数量的津贴（3个津贴（3个占主导地位和3个博士后）和3个后托管。我们要求继续进行。我们要求在2级和4级的招聘人员的招聘人员招募后，以及4级招聘。
