项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The renewal of this R25-Excellence in Cardiovascular Sciences (EICS) program--will continue to provide short-term training for undergraduate students of diverse backgrounds, focusing on research training related to the cardiovascular system with an emphasis on teams of investigators involved in translational research. This approach takes advantage of the broad, multidisciplinary cardiovascular research ongoing at Wake Forest School of Medicine (WFSM), with areas of expertise in hypertension, atherosclerosis, diabetes, obesity, and vascular disease. Faculty from the Hypertension & Vascular Research Center, Center for Diabetes Research, Departments of Physiology/Pharmacology, Pathology and Biochemistry, Molecular Medicine Program and Divisions of Medicine and Surgery participate as Research Mentors, many of whom have participated in the program for 15-20 years. New Research Mentors were recruited for the renewal in keeping with the program directors desire to develop mentoring skills in newly appointed or young investigators. The trainees will be minority students, those from disadvantaged backgrounds, or those with disabilities wishing to pursue a biomedical research project. The overall objectives remain to 1) introduce students to biomedical research through hands-on participation in a research project; 2) introduce students to critical scientific evaluatin by participating in a cardiovascular journal club; 3) provide experience in scientific writing and speaking through presentation of the research project as a poster; 4) provide exposure to research faculty, both basic science and clinical; and 5) foster a long-term commitment to pursue a career in the biomedical sciences through an experience that exemplifies the excitement and challenges of clinically relevant investigation. New objectives for the renewal include: 6) providing exposure to diverse career opportunities by bi-weekly faculty chats with Career Mentors; 7) facilitating matriculation into biomedical graduate programs by providing information on applying to graduate school, taking the GRE examination; and 8) yearly in-depth formal evaluation of the mentees by their Research Mentors. Over 80% of former participants in the program who have finished their undergraduate degrees go on to graduate, medical or industrial technical positions. Furthermore, ~15% of the participants have continued their association with WFSM as PhD students, medical students or technical/post-bac students. In fact, ~30% of the PhD's awarded to under-represented minority students in our biomedical sciences programs from 2009-2011 were from the EICS program. These statistics demonstrate the continued success of the EICS program and its primary focus of providing training to under-represented minorities to facilitate their matriculation into post-graduate programs and their careers in biomedical research.

描述（由申请人提供）：R25-卓越心血管科学（EICS）项目的更新--将继续为不同背景的本科生提供短期培训，重点关注与心血管系统相关的研究培训参与转化研究的研究人员团队。这种方法利用了维克森林医学院 (WFSM) 正在进行的广泛、多学科心血管研究，其专业领域涉及高血压、动脉粥样硬化、糖尿病、肥胖和血管疾病。来自高血压和血管研究中心、糖尿病研究中心、生理学/药理学系、病理学和生物化学系、分子医学项目以及内科和外科部门的教师作为研究导师参与其中，其中许多人已参加该项目15-20年年。为了满足项目主管培养新任命或年轻研究人员的指导技能的愿望，我们招募了新的研究导师进行续约。学员将是少数族裔学生、来自弱势背景的学生或希望从事生物医学研究项目的残疾人。总体目标仍然是：1）通过实践参与研究项目向学生介绍生物医学研究； 2) 通过参加心血管期刊俱乐部向学生介绍批判性的科学评估； 3) 通过以海报形式展示研究项目，提供科学写作和演讲的经验； 4）提供接触基础科学和临床研究人员的机会； 5) 通过体现临床相关研究的兴奋和挑战的经验，培养对从事生物医学科学事业的长期承诺。更新的新目标包括：6）通过每两周一次的教师与职业导师的聊天，提供多样化的职业机会； 7) 通过提供申请研究生院、参加 GRE 考试的信息，促进生物医学研究生课程的入学； 8) 每年由研究导师对受训者进行深入的正式评估。超过 80% 的前项目参与者在完成本科学位后继续担任研究生、医疗或工业技术职位。此外，约 15% 的参与者以博士生、医学生或技术/学士后身份继续与 WFSM 保持联系。事实上，从 2009 年到 2011 年，在我们的生物医学科学项目中，大约 30% 授予少数族裔学生的博士学位来自 EICS 项目。这些统计数据表明 EICS 计划持续取得成功，其主要重点是为代表性不足的少数群体提供培训，以促进他们进入研究生课程并促进他们在生物医学研究领域的职业生涯。（摘要完）
