项目摘要

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.

项目概要该 R25 计划的目标是增加代表性不足的少数群体 (URM) 的数量通过为 URM 本科生提供短期指导，帮助他们在心血管研究领域取得职业生涯斯坦福大学医学院心血管研究所 (CVI) 成员实验室的研究经验。心血管疾病是美国死亡和残疾的主要原因，但这些疾病确实如此。并非平等地影响所有美国非裔美国人和拉丁裔/西班牙裔美国人。非裔美国人、拉丁裔/西班牙裔因心脏病或中风而死亡或残疾的风险明显更高。美国人、美洲原住民和一些亚洲亚人群也面临着罹患此病的风险增加 2型糖尿病本身就是心血管疾病的危险因素，这些群体构成了不断增长的人群。历史上，诊所和医学研究的医疗服务都不足。由于招聘和保留方面的问题，非裔美国人、拉丁裔/西班牙裔美国人和美洲原住民在医学和基础心血管研究中的代表性明显不足非洲、拉丁裔/西班牙裔和美洲原住民医疗和研究专业人员的短缺。导致高危少数群体缺乏医疗护理，因为人们更有可能寻求医疗服务就心血管研究而言，来自同一种族群体成员的护理少数族裔研究人员更有可能关注并了解环境、遗传和行为研究表明，不同群体之间的差异可能会影响诊断和治疗。指导性研究提高了 URM 本科生对科学家的认同度并坚持不懈然而，因为有更多的本科生寻求研究。经验比可用职位少，许多本科生，特别是 URM 缺乏在学术实验室进行独立研究的机会。该 R25 将：1) 为本科 URM 提供心血管方面的技术培训和经验研究；2) 为 URM 提供心血管研究人员导师和榜样；3) 建立斯坦福大学医学院与当地和全国少数民族服务机构之间的关系。医学界，特别是 CVI 因其在心血管研究方面的卓越表现而闻名。参与 R25 的董事（Wu、de Jesus Perez 和 Red-Horse）和项目教员，其中许多人是 URM 本身拥有最先进的研究项目，涵盖人口结果、临床和转化和基础心血管研究，并欢迎有机会一起指导 R25 学员。他们拥有指导专业知识和资源来支持该计划中的 R25 学员。
