Project Summary We offer a comprehensive 2-year multidisciplinary training program in cardiovascular epidemiology (CVE) for MDs and PhDs to pursue an academic and scientific research career addressing contemporary training needs of the specialty. The program goals are: 1. to graduate five postdoctoral scholars every two years in three CVE research tracks: clinical translational epidemiology, statistical genetics-genomics, and bioinformatics-computational biology, among whom at least 20% underrepresented group (URG) members and 50% women are included; and 2. to provide career and professional developmental support for scholars to transition to independence, faculty status or a first job in academe or industry. To achieve these goals, we offer the following specific aims: (1) Provide broad rigorous multidisciplinary competency-based learner-centered education in approaches to CVE research. We have developed a cross-track curriculum intended to assure that our scholars develop foundational and functional skills to conduct CVE research successfully, including skills in scientific communication (writing scientific manuscripts and grants, oral presentations), and research design and management. We train scholars in the responsible conduct of research with rigor and reproducibility, team science, leadership and self-management. Our training program offers requisite coursework (customized to scholars' past training levels and career goals), attendance at a broad range of seminars and workshops, interactions with outstanding faculty mentors with expertise in translational research, participation in programs aimed at multidisciplinary collaborations, and customized internships (including in industry). Team-based learning approaches include participation of scholars in journal clubs, “Work-in-Progress” sessions, discussion forums, and a scholar exchange program; (2) Feature carefully planned and personalized mentored research projects for each scholar — under the direction of an established NIH- or NSF-funded investigator with extensive expertise in one of the three training tracks — resulting in scholarship, presentation at national meetings, and peer-reviewed publications. Our program leverages extensive epidemiological cohort databases that scholars can easily access; (3) Impart authentic robust career mentorship using an individualized development plan to ensure transition to a career development award and/or initial job placement in academe or industry; (4) Afford strong developmental support to recruit and retain our scholars, especially URG, women and those with disabilities; and (5) Evaluate program processes and monitor outcomes to implement continuous improvement. Overall, we have designed our training program to prepare the future world leaders in CVE research.

项目摘要 我们为心血管流行病学（CVE）提供全面的2年多学科培训计划 MDS和PHD从事研究和科学研究职业，以满足当代培训需求 专业。 计划目标是：1。在三项CVE研究中，每两年毕业五个博士后学者 曲目：临床翻译流行病学，统计遗传学基因组和生物信息学计算 生物学，其中至少有20％的代表性群体（URG）成员和50％的妇女； 和2。为了为学者过渡到独立性提供职业和专业发展支持， 教师身份或学术界或行业的第一份工作。 为了实现这些目标，我们提供以下具体目标： （1）在方法的方法中提供广泛的严格的以学习能力为中心的多学科教育 CVE研究。我们已经开发了一门交叉课程，旨在确保我们的学者发展 成功进行CVE研究的基础和功能技能，包括科学技能 沟通（编写科学手稿和赠款，口头演示）和研究设计和 管理。我们以严格和可重复性的方式培训学者负责地进行研究 科学，领导和自我管理。我们的培训计划提供必要的课程（自定义 学者过去的培训水平和职业目标），出席各种精确的开精和讲习班， 与杰出教师的互动，具有转化研究专业知识，参与计划 针对多学科合作和定制的实习（包括行业）。基于团队 学习方法包括学者参与期刊俱乐部，“进行工作”会议，讨论 论坛和科学交流计划； （2）为每个学者精心计划和个性化的研究项目 - 在 由NIH-或NSF资助的已建立的指导指导在三个培训之一中具有广泛专业知识 曲目 - 导致科学，在国家会议上演讲以及经过同行评审的出版物。我们的 计划利用学者可以轻松访问的广泛的流行病学队列数据库； （3）使用个性化的发展计划来确保过渡到 在学术界或行业中获得职业发展奖和/或初始工作； （4）提供强有力的发展支持，以招募和保留我们的学者，尤其是URG，妇女和那些 残疾人；和 （5）评估程序过程并监视结果以实施持续改进。 总体而言，我们设计了我们的培训计划，以准备CVE Research的未来世界领导者。
