 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Cardiovascular (CV) disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the US and worldwide. Non-invasive imaging provides valuable information to assess differential diagnosis and to help formulate a management plan. Unfortunately, most existing training programs in CV imaging offer only fragmented and discipline-constrained training opportunities, and very few offer training that incorporates clinicl and translational research in imaging science. This is the first competing renewal application for Brigham and Women's Hospital noninvasive cardiovascular imaging T32 program. This program offers post-doctoral research training for individuals with an MD, or combined MD/PhD degrees, who have completed clinical training in cardiology, radiology, or cardiovascular imaging who are committed to pursuing an academic career in CV imaging science. Our objective is to provide a multidisciplinary research environment that integrates CV biology, pharmacology, and imaging technology, with which to train clinician-scientists in translational imaging science. All the fellws have presented their work at national meetings. In the first 3.5 years of this T32 grant, our trainees have authored 63 manuscripts (some currently under review) with more than 90% being original contributions. Importantly, those who completed training to date have obtained academic faculty positions and have already obtained or are actively pursuing independent funding opportunities, all strong indicators of program success. Our mentors are primarily comprised of cardiologists and radiologists, but also include faculty from Pulmonary Medicine, Pathology, Anesthesia, Endocrinology, and the Center for Systems Biology at MGH. All of the mentors have an extensive portfolio of collaborations. We offer research opportunities in seven primary areas of imaging research: (1) molecular imaging, (2) myocardial structure and function, (3) cell-based therapy, (4) genetics, (5) pulmonary hypertension, (6) vascular imaging, and (7) outcomes research. The proposed program supports 3 positions/year for two years of continued research training. With this renewal, we continue our primary goals of providing leadership in academic cardiovascular imaging and training future leaders in imaging science to improve outcomes in cardiovascular disease.

 描述（由申请人提供）：心血管 (CV) 疾病是美国和世界范围内发病和死亡的主要原因。不幸的是，大多数现有培训都提供了宝贵的信息来评估鉴别诊断并帮助制定管理计划。 CV 成像领域的项目仅提供零散且受学科限制的培训机会，很少提供将影像科学的临床和转化研究相结合的培训。这是布莱根妇女医院无创心血管成像 T32 的第一个竞争更新应用。该计划为拥有医学博士或医学博士/博士学位的个人提供博士后研究培训，他们已完成心脏病学、放射学或心血管成像方面的临床培训，并致力于从事心血管成像科学的学术职业。目标是提供一个整合 CV 生物学、药理学和成像技术的多学科研究环境，以培训转化成像科学领域的临床科学家。在 T32 的前 3.5 年中，所有人员都在全国会议上展示了他们的工作。到目前为止，我们的学员已撰写了 63 篇手稿（部分正在审核中），其中 90% 以上是原创贡献。重要的是，迄今为止完成培训的学员已经获得了学术教职职位，并且已经获得或正在积极寻求独立资助机会，这些都很强。我们的导师主要由心脏病专家和放射科医生组成，但也包括麻省总医院肺科、病理科、麻醉科、内分泌科和系统生物学中心的教师。我们提供影像研究七个主要领域的研究机会：(1) 分子成像，(2) 心肌结构和功能，(3) 细胞治疗，(4) 遗传学，(5) 肺动脉高压， (6) 血管成像，以及 (7) 结果研究。拟议的计划每年支持 3 个职位，为期两年的持续研究培训。通过此次更新，我们将继续实现在心血管成像领域提供学术领导力并培训未来领导者的主要目标。成像科学可改善心血管疾病的结果。
