DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application represents the competing continuation of an award to the University of Tennessee, The Health Science Center for the training of young investigators in research concerning the role of lipids, lipoproteins, growth factors, and hormones in cardiovascular biology and diseases. The primary objectives of the program are (a) to train young investigators in contemporary scientific methodologies and concepts with which they can address significant questions pertaining to the causes and mechanisms underlying various cardiovascular diseases; (b) to encourage the development of minority and female scientists interested in investigations concerning the role of lipids/lipoproteins, growth factors, and hormones in various cardiovascular diseases; (c) to enhance collaborations between basic and clinical scientists interested in common goals which pertain to cardiovascular diseases; (d) to encourage research in the role of lipids/lipoproteins, growth factors, and hormones in cardiovascular diseases among students and other health professionals at our Institution; and (e) to enhance the education of students, and other young scientists at this Institution and other Institutions in the Mid-South area concerning the importance of cardiovascular research. The preceptors in this program represent Departments of Medicine, Physiology & Biophysics, and Pharmacology and their research impacts upon normal or pathophysiological cardiovascular function as well as the identification of molecular mechanisms of signaling. Because of these commonalties, the preceptors' laboratories have and continue to collaborate with each other. Thus, the trainees stand to learn from ongoing collaborations. Training will be offered at postdoctoral (5 positions) and predoctoral (3 positions) levels. Besides, laboratory experience, the trainees will be exposed to other research activities such as seminars, journal clubs, visiting scientists, clinical conferences, and participation at scientific meetings. It is also our intention to provide postdoctoral trainees some experience in grant writing.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该申请代表了田纳西大学奖项，即培训田纳西大学的奖项，该研究中的年轻研究人员在研究中培训脂质，脂蛋白，生长因子和激素在心血管生物学和疾病中的作用。 该计划的主要目标是（a）培训年轻的研究人员采用当代科学方法论和概念，它们可以解决与各种心血管疾病的原因和机制有关的重大问题； （b）鼓励对有兴趣研究脂质/脂蛋白，生长因子和激素在各种心血管疾病中的作用的少数群体和女科学家的发展； （c）增强对与心血管疾病有关的共同目标感兴趣的基本和临床科学家之间的合作； （d）鼓励研究我们机构中学生和其他卫生专业人员在心血管疾病中脂质/脂蛋白，生长因素和激素的作用； （e）增强该机构和中南地区其他机构的学生的教育以及有关心血管研究重要性的教育。 该计划中的受体代表医学，生理和生物物理学以及药理学及其研究对正常或病理生理心血管功能的影响以及信号传导分子机制的鉴定。 由于这些共同点，实验室的实验室已经并继续相互合作。因此，学员将从持续的合作中学习。 培训将在博士后（5个职位）和五个位置（3个位置）水平上提供。 此外，实验室经验，学员将接触其他研究活动，例如研讨会，期刊俱乐部，访问科学家，临床会议，并参加科学会议。我们也打算为博士后学员提供一些赠款写作的经验。
