DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Despite favorable trends in mortality over the past several decades, cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death and a major cause of disability in the United States. The prospects for continued success in the prevention and control of CVD are uncertain. Recent adverse trends in the prevalence and incidence of obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, and high blood pressure support the contention that trends in CVD mortality may stabilize and even reverse in the near future. Hence, an appropriate supply of health care professionals trained in the epidemiology and prevention of CVD will be needed for the foreseeable future to enable our country to continue to address the public health and medical challenges posed by epidemic CVD and to take on the new endeavor of improving cardiovascular health (CVH). In addition to traditional approaches to epidemiology and prevention, newer areas of investigation and application have imposed new requirements and opened new opportunities for effective action for the cadre of health professionals who are committed to this endeavor. The proposed Seminar has been addressing the need for multi-disciplinary, inter-disciplinary, translational research training for 39 years with an evolving curriculum. Over 1,070 fellows, including ~60% MDs and ~40% post-doctoral researchers in other fields, have benefited from this program. Many have become leaders in the field of CVH population sciences. The continuing goal of the Seminar is to provide an intensive introduction to the epidemiology and prevention of CVD, for interested and qualified health professionals who are planning research or academic careers, or anticipating responsibility for preventive programs, in this area. The following aims, continuing from previous years, must be fulfilled in order to assure the conduct of a successful Seminar over the next year: 1. To continue to attract a faculty with both the knowledge of relevant content and the personal teaching skills required for the effective conduct of this program, with a continuing emphasis on the recruitment of minority and female faculty members (currently comprising over 50% of the faculty); 2. To continue the development of program content to maintain its currency and relevance to the training needs of professionals with the stated career interests, with a focus on newer areas of competency; 3. To continue to disseminate information about this program to appropriate target groups, including the maintenance of the current effective strategies for reaching minority and female candidates; and 4. To continue to broaden the recruitment of participants, through the structure of the American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Councils and additional means.

描述（由申请人提供）： 尽管过去几十年死亡率呈良好趋势，但心血管疾病 (CVD) 仍然是美国的首要死因和残疾的主要原因。预防和控制心血管疾病持续取得成功的前景尚不确定。最近肥胖、胰岛素抵抗、糖尿病和高血压的患病率和发病率的不利趋势支持了这样的论点，即心血管疾病死亡率的趋势可能在不久的将来稳定甚至逆转。因此，在可预见的将来，需要适当提供接受过心血管病流行病学和预防培训的卫生保健专业人员，使我国能够继续应对流行性心血管病带来的公共卫生和医疗挑战，并承担起新的任务。改善心血管健康（CVH）。除了传统的流行病学和预防方法外，新的调查和应用领域也提出了新的要求，并为致力于这一努力的卫生专业人员干部采取有效行动提供了新的机会。 39 年来，拟议的研讨会一直致力于满足多学科、跨学科、转化研究培训的需求，并不断发展课程。超过 1,070 名研究员从该计划中受益，其中包括约 60% 的医学博士和约 40% 的其他领域的博士后研究人员。许多人已成为 CVH 人口科学领域的领导者。研讨会的持续目标是为正在规划该领域研究或学术生涯或预期负责预防计划的感兴趣且合格的卫生专业人员提供有关 CVD 流行病学和预防的深入介绍。 为了确保明年研讨会的成功举办，必须实现往年的以下目标： 1. 继续吸引既具备有效开展本项目所需的相关内容知识和个人教学技能的教师，继续重点招聘少数民族和女性教师（目前占教师总数的 50% 以上）学院）; 2. 继续开发计划内容，以保持其流行性和与具有所述职业兴趣的专业人员的培训需求的相关性，重点关注新的能力领域； 3. 继续向适当的目标群体传播有关该方案的信息，包括维持当前覆盖少数族裔和女性候选人的有效战略；和 4. 通过美国心脏协会 (AHA) 科学委员会的结构和其他手段，继续扩大参与者的招募范围。
