PROJECT SUMMARY The goal of this R25 program is to increase the numbers of underrepresented minorities (URMs) pursuing careers in cardiovascular research by providing URM undergraduate students with a short-term mentored research experience in the laboratories of members of Stanford Medicine’s Cardiovascular Institute (CVI). Cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of death and disability in the US. However, these diseases do not affect all US subpopulations equally. African Americans and Latino/Hispanic Americans experience a significantly higher risk of death or disability from heart disease or stroke. African Americans, Latino/Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, and some Asian sub-populations also experience increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, which is itself a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. These groups, which constitute a growing fraction of the US population, have historically been medically underserved by both clinics and medical research. Due to problems with both the recruitment and retention, African Americans, Latino/Hispanic Americans and Native Americans are significantly underrepresented in the medical and basic cardiovascular research workforce. This shortage of African, Latino/Hispanic, and Native American medical and research professionals contributes to the scarcity of medical care for at risk minority populations because people are more likely to seek out care from individuals that are members of their own ethnic group. In terms of cardiovascular research, minority researchers are more likely to focus on and be aware of environmental, genetic, and behavioral variations between groups that can affect diagnosis and treatment. It has been shown that participation in mentored research increases the degree to which undergraduate URM students identify as scientists and persist in academic and medical research career. However, because there are more undergraduates seeking research experiences than there are available positions, many undergraduate students, particularly URMs, lack the opportunity to perform independent research in an academic lab. This R25 will: 1) provide undergraduate URMs with technical training and experience in cardiovascular research; 2) provide URMs with cardiovascular researcher mentors and role models; and 3) build relationships between Stanford Medicine and local & national minority-serving institutions. Stanford Medicine in general and the CVI in particular are known for excellence in cardiovascular research. The Program Directors (Wu, de Jesus Perez, and Red-Horse) and Program Faculty involved in this R25, many of whom are themselves URMs, have state-of-the-art research programs spanning population outcome, clinical and translational, and basic cardiovascular research, and welcome the opportunity to mentor R25 trainees. Together they have the mentoring expertise and the resources to support R25 trainees though in this program.

项目摘要 该R25计划的目的是增加代表性不足的少数民族（URM）的数量 通过为URM本科生提供短期问题，从事心血管研究的职业 斯坦福医学心血管研究所（CVI）的实验室的研究经验。 心血管疾病是美国死亡和残疾的主要原因。但是，这些疾病确实 不同等地影响美国的所有亚人群。非裔美国人和拉丁裔/西班牙裔美国人经历了 心脏病或中风的死亡或残疾风险明显更高。非裔美国人，拉丁裔/西班牙裔 美国人，美洲原住民和一些亚洲人群也经历了发展的风险 2型糖尿病本身就是心血管疾病的危险因素。这些群体，构成一个增长 在历史上，美国人口的一部分在医学上都受到了诊所和医学研究的挫折。 由于招聘和保留率都有问题，非洲裔美国人，拉丁裔/西班牙裔美国人以及 在医学和基本心血管研究中，美洲原住民的人数大大不足 劳动力。非洲，拉丁裔/西班牙裔和美国原住民医学和研究专业人员的短缺 造成少数人口的医疗服务的稀缺，因为人们更有可能寻求 从自己的种族成员的个人那里照顾。在心血管研究方面 少数派研究人员更有可能专注于环境，遗传和行为 可能影响诊断和治疗的组之间的变化。已经表明参与 Menored研究增加了URM学生认识为科学家的程度，并坚持不懈 在学术和医学研究职业中。但是，因为有更多的大学生寻求研究 经验比可用职位的经验，许多本科生，尤其是URMS缺乏 在学术实验室中进行独立研究的机会。 R25将：1）​​为大学URM提供技术培训和心血管的经验 研究; 2）为URM提供心血管研究人员的导师和榜样； 3）构建 斯坦福医学与地方和国家少数民族服务机构之间的关系。斯坦福大学 一般而言，医学，特别是CVI以心血管研究的卓越而闻名。该程序 导演（吴，德耶稣·佩雷斯和红马）和参与R25的计划教师，其中许多是 自己的URM，拥有跨越人口结果的最先进的研究计划，临床和 翻译和基本的心血管研究，欢迎有机会进入心理R25受训者。一起 他们拥有心理专业知识和资源来支持R25学员，但在此计划中。
