Mississippi is among the leaders in mortality due to heart disease, stroke, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and kidney disease. Mississippi also has the greatest health care disparities in the country along with limited extramural research support necessary to recruit and retain top biomedical researchers that can address these important issues. These widening health care disparities affect underrepresented minorities, including African Americans and Hispanic Americans, who are disproportionately affected by heart disease, stroke, diabetes, nephritis/nephrosis, hypertension and hypertension related renal diseases. Therefore, a unique opportunity exists in Mississippi for building diverse research infrastructure to investigate mechanisms and new treatment options for cardiovascular and renal diseases at the very location where they are most prominent in the United States. This application proposes to continue a highly successful summer research program in the State of Mississippi that increased the participation of individuals from underrepresented minorities (URM) in hypertension, renal and cardiovascular related biomedical fields over the last five years. The Mississippi Diversity in Hypertension and Cardiorenal Research Program (MSDHCR) supported over forty URM students in the first funding cycle, with greater than 90% of graduates utilizing their science degree in graduate school, professional school, or in their employment. The University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) has a long history of excellence in cardiovascular and renal research, and mentoring. The current proposal seeks an additional five years for the MSDHCR program, and represents a critical component of the mission to train and mentor cardiovascular and renal researchers. This competitive renewal includes enhanced institutional support and innovative improvements that ensure the continued development of a robust biomedical pipeline. The overall objective of this training program is to provide career and education mentoring along with state-of the art cardiovascular and renal research training experiences to individuals with disadvantaged and underrepresented ethnic or racial backgrounds in the cardiovascular and renal sciences. Undergraduate students from disadvantaged and underrepresented backgrounds will participate in this program that has the following aims: 1. To provide program participants a multi-disciplinary training and mentoring experience in cardiovascular and renal research. 2. To provide program participants with opportunities for professional development that will help them achieve careers in health-related research professions. 3. To provide standardized test training for program participants that will prepare them for the next steps in their educational training.

密西西比州是心脏病、中风、高血压、糖尿病和糖尿病死亡率最高的州之一 肾脏疾病。密西西比州的医疗保健差距也是全国最大的，而且有限 招募和留住能够解决这些问题的顶尖生物医学研究人员所需的校外研究支持 重要问题。这些不断扩大的医疗保健差距影响到代表性不足的少数群体，包括非洲人 美国人和西班牙裔美国人不成比例地受到心脏病、中风、糖尿病的影响， 肾炎/肾病、高血压及高血压相关肾脏疾病。因此，一个独特的机会 位于密西西比州，旨在建设多样化的研究基础设施，以研究机制和新疗法 心血管和肾脏疾病在美国最为突出的地区提供治疗选择 国家。该申请建议继续在该州开展一项非常成功的夏季研究计划 密西西比州增加了代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) 的个人参与 过去五年的高血压、肾脏和心血管相关生物医学领域。密西西比河 高血压和心肾研究多样性 (MSDHCR) 为 40 多名 URM 学生提供支持 在第一个资助周期中，超过 90% 的毕业生在研究生院利用其科学学位， 专业学校或就业。密西西比大学医学中心 (UMMC) 拥有悠久的历史 在心血管和肾脏研究和指导方面拥有卓越的历史。目前的提案寻求 MSDHCR 计划的额外五年，是培训和培训使命的重要组成部分 指导心血管和肾脏研究人员。这种竞争性的更新包括加强制度 支持和创新改进，确保强大的生物医学管道的持续发展。 该培训计划的总体目标是提供职业和教育指导以及现状 为弱势群体和弱势群体提供先进的心血管和肾脏研究培训经验 心血管和肾脏科学领域的种族或种族背景代表性不足。本科生 来自弱势和代表性不足背景的学生将参加该计划 目标如下： 1. 为项目参与者提供多学科培训和指导经验 心血管和肾脏研究。 2. 为项目参与者提供专业机会 的发展将帮助他们在健康相关的研究职业中取得职业生涯。 3. 提供 为项目参与者提供标准化测试培训，帮助他们为下一步的教育做好准备 训练。
