The primary goal of the Excellence in Cardiovascular Sciences (EICS) Program (R25 HL92618 renewal) is to provide exposure to outstanding summer research experiences for undergraduate (UG) students of diverse backgrounds [nationally defined underrepresented (UR) minorities, disadvantaged or those with disabilities], focusing on mechanisms of cardiovascular (CV) diseases and CV-related health disparities, with an emphasis on teams science in translational research. While the program is for short-term research training, mentors and Program Directors (PDs) continue to guide former EICS trainees during UG/early post-baccalaureate years. The program capitalizes on the multidisciplinary CV research at Wake Forest School of Medicine (WFSM) in hypertension, diabetes/obesity, aging/development and cardiac, renal and vascular diseases. Faculty from Hypertension & Vascular Research, CV Sciences, Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism and Precision Medicine Centers, and the Maya Angelou Center for Health Equity serve as leaders, mentors and Program faculty (27% UR status/60% women). The EICS Specific Aims are to provide: 1) hands-on mentored summer CVS research experiences fostering research skills development; 2) general professional development and networking towards completion of UG MSTEM degrees; and 3) diverse research career pathway information for advanced degrees and careers in the biomedical sciences (BMS) workforce. Measurable Objectives include: 1) research skills development, improved scientific communication and a research symposium; 2) CV and health disparities seminars, journal clubs, formal/informal scientific discussions to foster critical thinking; 3) demonstration of CV biomarker and non-invasive cardiac and vascular structure/function, blood pressure and autonomic function assessments; 4) professional development for general career guidance, professionalism, Responsible Conduct of Research/Rigor and Reproducibility to facilitate attainment of the BS/BA; 5) exposure to advanced degrees in CVS and BMS careers via faculty chats with Career Mentors representing diversity of interests in basic science and clinical research, UR status, science careers/fields and pathways to current positions; 6) matriculation into advanced degree programs by networking (graduate students, program directors/recruitment chairs, Graduate Dean for BMS) and guidance on applications. A sense of science community/belonging and satisfaction is fostered among EICS mentors and trainees beyond a single mentor/lab by common WFU housing, local transportation, social events and networking with other summer research program trainees. Outcomes (29 years; 328 trainees, 28 still in UG training): of the 90% of 300 students tracked, 100% obtained a BS/BA with 96% in MSTEM; >83% are enhancing BMS workforce diversity with graduate (34%) or medical/health profession (33%) degrees or technical/teaching positions (16%) without advanced degrees; ~15% return to WFSM as PhD or medical students, technical/post-bac students, are 12.5% of current WFSM URM PhD students and received 18% of WFSM URM PhDs in the past 4 years; 30% of EICS PhDs are from WFSM PhD BMS programs.

卓越心血管科学 (EICS) 计划（R25 HL92618 更新）的主要目标是 为不同背景的本科生（UG）提供出色的暑期研究经验 背景[国家定义的代表性不足 (UR) 少数群体、弱势群体或残疾人]， 关注心血管 (CV) 疾病的机制和与 CV 相关的健康差异，重点是 关于转化研究中的团队科学。虽然该计划是短期研究培训，但导师和 项目总监 (PD) 继续在 UG/学士后早期阶段指导前 EICS 学员 年。该项目利用了维克森林医学院 (WFSM) 的多学科简历研究 高血压、糖尿病/肥胖、衰老/发育以及心脏、肾脏和血管疾病。教师来自 高血压与血管研究、心血管科学、糖尿病、肥胖与代谢以及精准医学 中心和玛雅安杰卢健康公平中心担任领导者、导师和项目教员（27% UR 状况/60% 女性）。 EICS 的具体目标是提供： 1) 实践指导的夏季 CVS 研究 促进研究技能发展的经验； 2）一般专业发展和网络 完成 UG MSTEM 学位； 3) 高级学位的多样化研究职业路径信息 以及生物医学科学 (BMS) 劳动力的职业。可衡量的目标包括：1）研究技能 发展、改善科学交流和研究研讨会； 2) 简历和健康状况差异 研讨会、期刊俱乐部、正式/非正式的科学讨论，以培养批判性思维； 3）简历展示 生物标志物和非侵入性心脏和血管结构/功能、血压和自主神经功能 评估； 4) 一般职业指导、专业精神、负责任行为的专业发展 研究/严谨性和可重复性，以促进获得 BS/BA； 5）接触高级学位 通过与代表基础科学兴趣多样性的职业导师的教师聊天，参与 CVS 和 BMS 职业生涯 临床研究、UR 状态、科学职业/领域以及通往当前职位的途径； 6) 入学 通过网络（研究生、项目主管/招聘主席、研究生 Dean for BMS）和申请指导。科学共同体/归属感和满足感是 在 EICS 导师和受训者中培养超越单一导师/实验室的共同 WFU 住房、当地 交通、社交活动以及与其他夏季研究项目学员的交流。结果 (29 年; 328 名学员，其中 28 名仍在接受 UG 培训）：在跟踪的 300 名学生中，90% 的学生获得了 BS/BA MSTEM 96%； >83% 正在通过毕业生 (34%) 或医疗/健康专业人士增强 BMS 劳动力多样性 (33%) 学位或技术/教学职位 (16%) 没有高级学位；约 15% 以博士身份返回 WFSM 或医学生、技术/学士后学生占当前 WFSM URM 博士生的 12.5%，并获得 过去 4 年中 18% 的 WFSM URM 博士； 30% 的 EICS 博士来自 WFSM 博士 BMS 项目。
