Project Summary This is an application for the first five-year renewal (years 6-10) of the Multidisciplinary Research Training to Reduce Inequalities in Cardiovascular Health (METRIC) T32 for predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows at Emory University. The goal of the METRIC T32 program is to train diverse candidates in the study of cardiovascular health inequalities broadly defined, based on factors such as race/ethnicity, sex/gender, socioeconomic status, geographical residence, healthcare access, and physical/mental disability, with a focus on the underlying biological, behavioral and environmental mechanisms. A distinguishing feature of our program is the utilization of a multidisciplinary approach to expose trainees to multiple methods and research areas, from epidemiology and biostatistics to behavioral and social sciences, biological sciences, and health policy and implementation. Each trainee has a primary mentor but works within a mentoring team with diverse expertise. A maximum of 5 predoctoral and 5 postdoctoral trainees will be in the program at any time point, each supported for an average of 3 years for predocs and 2 years for postdocs. Training will include multidisciplinary mentoring along with coursework, inter-departmental seminars, hands-on research, grant writing and career development. Our main source of predoctoral applicants will continue to be PhD students entering the School of Public Health's doctoral programs. Postdoctoral fellows will be MDs pursuing a research career in cardiovascular disease, or PhD graduates in epidemiology, nutrition, behavioral sciences, environmental sciences, health policy, or other relevant areas. Postdoctoral trainees will have the opportunity to obtain a MS in Clinical Research. In the past funding cycle all our training slots were filled, and we have utilized three supplementary diversity slots. The program shows a strong track record for successful training and career development, promoted by solid collaborations among the Rollins School of Public Health, the School of Medicine, the School of Nursing, and the Morehouse School of Medicine. Of all the fellows appointed, 50% are from underrepresented racial/ethnic minority groups. Our program responds to several emphasis areas for NHLBI T32 programs, including multidisciplinary training, collaborative research, diversity of trainees, quantitative sciences, and translation research, with strong emphasis on mentorship and career development. Addressing cardiovascular health inequities is a top priority of the strategic vision of the NHLBI's Division of Cardiovascular Sciences. The ultimate goal of this program is to prepare diverse individuals for leadership positions in biomedical and health care research in order to build capacity for research and translation to reduce inequalities in health and health care for cardiovascular disease.

项目摘要 这是多学科研究培训的第一个五年续约（6 - 10年）的申请 减少埃默里（Emory）前和博士后研究员的心血管健康不平等（公制）T32 大学。公制T32计划的目标是培训各种候选人在心血管研究中 健康不平等广泛定义，基于种族/种族，性别/性别，社会经济地位等因素 地理居住，医疗保健访问和身体/精神残疾，重点是基础 生物，行为和环境机制。我们程序的一个显着特征是利用 流行病学的多学科方法将受训者暴露于多种方法和研究领域 以及行为和社会科学，生物科学以及卫生政策和实施的生物统计学。 每个学员都有一位主要导师，但在具有多样化专业知识的指导团队中工作。最多5 在任何时间点将参加该计划，每人都在平均支持该计划中 Predoc的3年和2年的博士后。培训将包括多学科指导 课程工作，部门间研讨会，动手研究，赠款写作和职业发展。我们的主要 申请前申请人的来源将继续是进入公共卫生学院的博士生 博士课程。博士后研究员将是从事心血管疾病或 流行病学，营养，行为科学，环境科学，卫生政策或其他方面的博士学位毕业生 相关区域。博士后学员将有机会获得临床研究的MS。在过去 我们所有的培训插槽都填补了资金周期，我们利用了三个补充多样性插槽。这 计划显示了成功培训和职业发展的良好记录，由固体推广 罗林斯公共卫生学院，医学院，护理学院以及 莫尔豪斯医学院。在所有任命的研究员中，有50％来自代表性不足的种族/族裔 少数群体。我们的计划响应了NHLBI T32计划的几个重点领域，包括 多学科培训，合作研究，学员多样性，定量科学和翻译 研究，非常重视指导和职业发展。解决心血管健康 不平等是NHLBI心血管科学划分的战略愿景的重中之重。这 该计划的最终目标是为不同的个人准备生物医学和健康领域的领导地位 护理研究以建立研究和翻译的能力，以减少健康和健康的不平等现象 护理心血管疾病。
