Abstract This application for renewal of the Cardiovascular T32 training program at the University of Hawaii draws on the strengths of our Center for Cardiovascular Research (CCR) and our established graduate program in Cell and Molecular Biology. We also have maintained and enhanced an alliance with the Cardiovascular Division at Stanford University Medical School to enrich the local academic environment and increase the number of seasoned senior investigators available as mentors for our trainees. In recent years our medical school has embarked on a new direction, emphasizing basic investigation that has instilled new energy into our graduate programs. We have moved into a modern campus on the shore of Honolulu and attracted nationally competitive investigators. Our Cardiovascular Center has recruited or developed 5 independent investigators who have a principal focus on cardiovascular investigation. In addition we have a group of UH faculty with established research programs pertinent to cardiovascular science. We now have the critical mass of investigators needed for a successful T32 program. During our first cycle as the only T32 program at the University of Hawaii we have had success in training under-represented minority scientists and in helping our trainees to obtain independent grant funding. We still have our roots in our minority-serving, clinically-focused school, but are adding an important level of scientific sophistication to serve our special location and multiethnic population. During the second cycle of funding, described in this application, we will continue to place our best graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in laboratories devoted to cardiovascular projects, and provide mentoring that will help them succeed. They will benefit from an established curriculum, CCR core resources, and will also be able to draw upon the Stanford Cardiovascular Division for world-class expertise and research resources. We request support for three graduate students and three postdoctoral fellows per year. We expect, on average, that the graduate students will be supported for no more than three years and the postdocs for no more than two years before they either finish or obtain independent funding. Thus we anticipate supporting approximately 7 individual postdoctoral fellows and 5 graduate students during the 5 years of this program. Our goal is to train our next generation of cardiovascular investigators, with special attention to the priorities of our local population.

抽象的 夏威夷大学心血管 T32 培训计划续签申请借鉴了 我们心血管研究中心 (CCR) 的优势以及我们在细胞领域建立的研究生项目 和分子生物学。我们还保持并加强了与心血管部门的联盟 斯坦福大学医学院丰富当地学术环境并增加数量 经验丰富的高级调查员可以作为我们学员的导师。近年来我们医学院 走上了新的方向，强调基础研究，为我们的毕业生注入了新的活力 程序。我们已搬进檀香山海岸的现代化校园，吸引了全国各地的学生 竞争性调查员。我们的心血管中心已招募或培养了5名独立研究者 主要关注心血管研究的人。此外，我们还有一群呃教授 建立了与心血管科学相关的研究计划。我们现在拥有的临界质量 成功的 T32 计划需要研究人员。在我们作为唯一 T32 项目的第一个周期中 夏威夷大学我们在培训代表性不足的少数族裔科学家和帮助我们的 受训者获得独立拨款资助。我们仍然植根于为少数族裔服务、以临床为重点的服务 学校，但正在增加重要的科学复杂性，以服务于我们特殊的地理位置和 多民族人口。在本申请中描述的第二个资助周期中，我们将继续 将我们最优秀的研究生和博士后研究员安置在专门从事心血管项目的实验室中， 并提供指导，帮助他们取得成功。他们将受益于既定课程、CCR 核心课程 资源，并且还能够利用斯坦福大学心血管部门的世界一流的专业知识 和研究资源。我们请求为每名三名研究生和三名博士后研究员提供支持 年。我们预计研究生的平均资助期限不超过三年， 博士后在完成或获得独立资助之前不超过两年。因此我们 预计在 5 年期间支持大约 7 名博士后研究员和 5 名研究生 该计划的年数。我们的目标是培训下一代心血管研究人员，特别是 关注当地居民的优先事项。
