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 thi 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 f our people and state.

描述（由申请人提供）：夏威夷大学新的T32培训计划的申请借鉴了我们动态的新型心血管研究中心（CCR）的优势以及我们在细胞和分子生物学领域的既定研究生计划。我们还与斯坦福大学医学院的成人和儿科心脏病学部门建立了联盟，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，作为我们的学员的导师。近年来，我们的医学院已经迈出了新的方向，强调了将新能量灌输给我们的研究生课程的基本调查。我们已经搬进了檀香山海岸的现代校园，并吸引了全国竞争性的调查员。我们的心血管中心已招募或开发了5位独立研究人员，他们主要关注心血管调查。此外，我们还有一群UH教师，该教师与心血管科学有关。在我们的斯坦福大学同事的帮助下，我们现在拥有成功的T32计划所需的大量调查人员。我们仍然扎根于少数族裔，以临床为中心的学校，但正在增加重要的科学成熟水平，以服务于我们的特殊位置和多种族人口。在THI培训计划中，CCR将协调我们最好的研究生和博士后研究员在专门研究心血管项目的实验室的位置和指导。它们将受益于已建立的课程和CCR核心资源，包括组织学/成像，基因组学和啮齿动物表型。他们还将能够利用斯坦福大学“大陆导师”的资源来获得世界一流的专业知识和研究资源。我们的目标是培训我们的下一代心血管调查员，特别关注我们的人民和州的优先事项。
