PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This innovative T32 proposal addresses a critical need to train emerging postdoctoral scientists to become leaders in cardiometabolic science. At the intersection between cardiovascular disease and metabolic disorders lies excess morbidity and mortality, best addressed by successful scientists and research integrated in these areas. Our proposal addresses 3 aspects of the training need: First, these scientists require training from both cardiovascular and metabolic researchers. Second, training must occur in an environment where relevant interdisciplinary collaborations among successful mentors are already underway. Third, the advancement of women scientists must be actively pursued by both men and women to maximize the talent pool. Drs. Hsueh and Raman, internationally-recognized, established investigators in diabetes/metabolism and cardiovascular medicine, have brought together a team of NIH-funded cardiovascular and metabolic researchers at the Ohio State University (OSU), with a dual mentorship training design that gives trainees essential cross-disciplinary scientific and professional guidance. OSU’s environment for cardiometabolic training is unparalleled, with faculty in the Davis Heart and Lung Research Institute and the Diabetes and Metabolism Research Center (Hsueh, Director) engaged in NHLBI-funded research across basic, translational, and clinical disciplines. To advance women in cardiometabolic science, this T32 leverages a number of programs across OSU including a predoctoral T32 program for diversity in cardiovascular science led by co- investigator Dr. Rafael-Fortney. Faculty mentors have been chosen specifically both for their productive track records and for research publication productivity and NIH award success of their trainees. We will enroll 2 new postdoctoral trainees per year for 2 years’ training, with a 3rd slot supported by OSU College of Medicine (COM, PhD) and Department of Internal Medicine (DOIM, MD or MD-PhD) funding. Recognizing that physician scientists may be less competitive for a first K award due to inadequate research time, a third year of postdoctoral training, covered by DOIM funds, is provided for physician trainees. OSU’s success in attracting physicians willing to invest the needed time in research training is evident by such successful entities as the Physician Scientist Training Program (PSTP). Highlights of this T32 include clear milestones, development of a formal course in Cardiometabolic Science that distinguishes this program as an independent discipline, regulatory sessions, and effective efforts across many institutional layers to change culture towards advancement of women in cardiometabolic science. Individualized development plans are assessed by metrics such as publications, career development awards, completion of coursework and workshop, and transition to research and academic careers. Our faculty, infrastructure, leadership, trainee pool, and unique scientific focus will deliver male and female cardiometabolic scientists and fill a critical postdoctoral training gap.

项目概要/摘要 这项创新的 T32 提案解决了培训新兴博士后科学家成为 心血管疾病和代谢科学的领导者。 疾病的根源在于过高的发病率和死亡率，最好由成功的科学家和综合研究来解决 我们的建议解决了这些领域的三个方面的培训需求：首先，这些科学家需要培训。 其次，训练必须在这样的环境中进行： 成功导师之间的相关跨学科合作已经开始。 男性和女性都必须积极追求女科学家的进步，以最大限度地发挥才能 Hsueh 和 Raman 博士是国际公认的糖尿病/代谢领域的研究人员。 心血管医学，汇集了 NIH 资助的心血管和代谢团队 俄亥俄州立大学 (OSU) 的研究人员采用双重导师培训设计，为学员提供 俄勒冈州立大学心脏代谢的重要跨学科科学和专业指导。 戴维斯心肺研究所以及糖尿病和糖尿病研究所的教员提供的培训是无与伦比的 代谢研究中心（Hsueh，主任）从事 NHLBI 资助的基础、转化、 为了促进女性在心脏代谢科学领域的发展，T32 利用了许多技术。 俄勒冈州立大学的多个项目，包括由共同领导的心血管科学多样性博士前 T32 项目 研究员 Rafael-Fortney 博士是根据他们的富有成效的轨迹而专门选择的。 我们将招收 2 名新学员，以表彰他们的研究出版生产力和 NIH 获奖记录。 每年为博士后培训生提供为期 2 年的培训，其中第三个名额由俄勒冈州立大学医学院支持 （COM、博士）和内科（DOIM、医学博士或医学博士-博士）资助。 由于研究时间不足，科学家在获得第一个 K 奖时可能缺乏竞争力，第三年 俄勒冈州立大学成功吸引了医师培训生，并提供由 DOIM 资金资助的博士后培训。 医生愿意在研究培训上投入所需的时间，这一点从诸如 医师科学家培训计划 (PSTP) 的亮点包括明确的里程碑、开发 心脏代谢科学的正式课程将该项目区分为一门独立学科， 监管会议，以及跨多个机构层面的有效努力，以改变文化 女性在心脏代谢科学领域的进步通过指标进行评估。 例如出版物、职业发展奖、完成课程和研讨会以及过渡到 我们的师资、基础设施、领导力、实习生库和独特的科学重点。 将培养男性和女性心脏代谢科学家，并填补关键的博士后培训空白。
