DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A decline in the number of physician scientists in the United States, correlates with the NIH Roadmap's concern about the lack of well-trained individuals with the capacity to translate research from bench to bedside. Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the United States and the growth of the aged population over the next 20 years will dramatically increase the incidence of peripheral vascular disease and the need for new and improved treatment options for these diseases. Thus, great need exists for formal training programs to prepare future scientists, engineers, and clinicians who can advance the science behind therapies for vascular patients. This application proposes a multidisciplinary and collaborative training program that will co-train young physicians and scientists with interests in vascular biology. The overall goal of the proposed "Vascular Surgery Research Training Program" is to provide a comprehensive and hypothesis-based research experience to future investigators who are strongly motivated towards a career in vascular surgery and vascular research. The program will provide trainees with multiple opportunities for research activities in broad areas of vascular biology, drug development/delivery, vascular imaging and health services. The program will also foster the development of knowledge, competence, skills, professional attitudes, and experience required for successful academic careers in independent NIH-funded research. The specific objectives of this program are to: 1) through a two-year postdoctoral research training experience for selected surgical residents or medical residents/fellows, provide training in the conduct of basic, translational, health services research through participation in an individual and tailored didacti and mentoring program utilizing the extensive resources of the UW Department of Surgery, UW Cardiovascular Research Center, UW College of Engineering and UW School of Medicine and Public Health, including the Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (ICTR), 2) encourage recent doctoral graduates with a background in molecular biology, cell biology, physiology, chemical engineering, biomedical engineering, or other disciplines to pursue academic research careers in the field of vascular biology by providing two to three year postdoctoral training, 3) develop physician-scientists and leaders in academic surgery with an emphasis on vascular diseases and 4) expand the pool of surgeon-scientists with comprehensive training in health services research. The application includes a pool of experienced, extramurally funded trainers from a variety of vascular- related disciplines including surgery, radiology, population health, and biomedical engineering; and incorporates effective assessment processes, a plan to promote diversity by recruiting and retaining both women and minorities, and a comprehensive plan for training in the responsible conduct of research. The program directors have demonstrated success in a similar program at their previous institution and the University of Wisconsin offers an excellent environment for the continued success of the program.

描述（由申请人提供）：美国医师科学家数量的下降与 NIH 路线图担心缺乏训练有素、有能力将研究从实验室转化为临床的人员的担忧相关。心血管疾病仍然是美国死亡率和发病率的主要原因，未来 20 年老年人口的增长将急剧增加外周血管疾病的发病率，以及对这些疾病的新的和改进的治疗方案的需求。因此，非常需要正式的培训计划来培养未来的科学家、工程师和临床医生，他们可以推进血管患者治疗背后的科学。该申请提出了一个多学科和协作培训计划，将共同培训 对血管生物学感兴趣的年轻医生和科学家。 拟议的“血管外科研究培训计划”的总体目标是为有强烈动机从事血管外科和血管研究的未来研究人员提供全面的、基于假设的研究经验。该计划将为学员提供在血管生物学、药物开发/输送、血管成像和健康服务等广泛领域进行研究活动的多种机会。该项目还将促进美国国立卫生研究院资助的独立研究中成功学术生涯所需的知识、能力、技能、专业态度和经验的发展。该计划的具体目标是：1）通过为选定的外科住院医师或住院医师/研究员提供两年的博士后研究培训经验，通过参与个人和定制的培训，提供基础、转化、健康服务研究的培训。教学和指导计划利用威斯康星大学外科系、威斯康星大学心血管研究中心、威斯康星大学工程学院和威斯康星大学医学与公共卫生学院的广泛资源，包括临床和转化研究所 (ICTR)，2) 鼓励最近的研究具有分子生物学、细胞生物学、生理学、化学工程、生物医学工程或其他学科背景的博士毕业生，通过提供两到三年的博士后培训，从事血管生物学领域的学术研究事业，3）培养医师科学家和学术外科领域的领导者，重点是血管疾病；4）通过卫生服务研究方面的全面培训扩大外科医生科学家的库。 该应用程序包括一批经验丰富、由校外资助的培训师，他们来自各种血管相关学科，包括外科、放射学、人口健康和生物医学工程；并纳入有效的评估流程、通过招募和留住妇女和少数族裔促进多样性的计划，以及负责任的研究培训的综合计划。项目负责人在之前的机构的类似项目中取得了成功，威斯康星大学为该项目的持续成功提供了良好的环境。
