DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary objective of this program is to provide short-term (10 weeks) training experience for sixteen talented students in the area of cardiovascular function and disease. This research education opportunity will be provided to students from disadvantaged backgrounds, racial and ethnic minorities, and others who are underrepresented in biomedical research. The long-range goal is to increase the number of such students in health professions in cardiovascular biology through interest generated by exposure to a broad spectrum of research activities in this area. The Program Faculty participating in the program have been selected on the basis of their active research programs in the areas of cardiovascular disease, cardiovascular development, cardiac stem cells and regenerative medicine, cell signaling, and proteomics. Several of the faculty also conduct clinical and outcomes oriented research on diseases that disproportionately affect African Americans, notably hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. Students in the program are intimately involved in the ongoing projects in one of the participating laboratories, and are exposed to many aspects of conducting basic science and epidemiologic research. Students also participate in a lecture series that covers cutting edge topics in biological research, with a focus on topics related to cardiovascular function and disease. In addition, the lecture series covers laboratory safety and responsible conduct of research. In this application, we propose a new initiative that will give these students an opportunity to participate in activities with a clinical/translational focus in cardiovascular disease. At the conclusion of the training period, the students prepare a brief written paper and give an oral presentation on their project. They are also encouraged to return in November to present their research at the university-wide annual research day. The program will be evaluated at the end of each year using a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches including analysis of applicant pool data and recruitment methods, as well as exit interviews and surveys with the students, and feedback from the mentors. Additionally, students' career choices and progress will be tracked by yearly contact with each of the participants. (End of Abstract)

描述（由申请人提供）： 该计划的主要目标是为以下人员提供短期（10 周）培训经验： 十六名心血管功能和疾病领域的天才学生。本研究教育 将为来自弱势背景、种族和族裔的学生提供机会， 以及其他在生物医学研究中代表性不足的人。长期目标是增加 通过对心血管生物学产生兴趣而进入健康专业的此类学生的数量 接触该领域的广泛研究活动。参与该计划的教师 该计划是根据他们在以下领域的积极研究计划而选择的 心血管疾病、心血管发育、心脏干细胞与再生医学、细胞 信号传导和蛋白质组学。一些教师还进行临床和结果导向的研究 不成比例地影响非裔美国人的疾病，特别是高血压、糖尿病和 肥胖。该计划的学生密切参与其中之一正在进行的项目 参与实验室，并接触到进行基础科学和 流行病学研究。学生还参加涵盖前沿主题的系列讲座 生物学研究，重点关注与心血管功能和疾病相关的主题。此外， 该系列讲座涵盖实验室安全和负责任的研究行为。在这个应用程序中，我们 提出一项新举措，让这些学生有机会参与活动 心血管疾病的临床/转化焦点。培训期结束时， 学生准备一份简短的书面论文并就他们的项目进行口头陈述。他们也是 鼓励他们在 11 月份返回，在全校年度研究日上展示他们的研究成果。 该计划将在每年年底结合定性和 定量方法，包括申请人库数据和招聘方法的分析，以及 对学生进行退出访谈和调查，以及导师的反馈。此外，学生的 将通过每年与每位参与者的联系来跟踪职业选择和进展。 （摘要完）
