DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary objective of the proposed research education program is to provide annual short-term (10 week) research education experiences for 10 highly motivated minority students in order to expose them to biomedical research in the area of cardiovascular function and disease. The long-range goal is to increase the number of minority health professionals in this area through interest generated by exposure to a broad spectrum of research and educational activities. The program builds upon MUSC's established strength in cardiovascular research, its strong commitment to providing meaningful research training experiences for students at all levels, and its track record of introducing students from underrepresented groups to biomedical research. The Program Faculty is a group of 31 productive, collaborative, independently funded scientists with strong training records whose expertise and interests are highly relevant to the cardiovascular sciences including multiple aspects of cell communication and molecular structure and their dysfunction in cardiac morphogenesis, hypertension, vascular disease and cardiac hypertrophy and failure. They also include faculty with interest in diseases and disorders that exhibit significantly higher rates of incidence, morbidity, and mortality among African American residents of South Carolina than among other population groups, or even African Americans in other parts of the country. In addition to the mentored research project and instruction in the ethical conduct of research, students will participate in a Cardiovascular Seminar Series and a course in Introduction to Critical Review. Senior research electives allow students to gain additional research experience and exposure to patient-oriented research during their advanced years in medical school. The program benefits from a stable administrative structure and exceptionally strong leadership committed to diversity. A comprehensive evaluation plan that measures the degree to which the program is achieving its objectives is also in place. (End of Abstract)

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的研究教育计划的主要目标是为10名积极进取的少数族裔学生提供年度短期（10周）研究教育经验，以便将他们暴露于心血管功能和疾病领域的生物医学研究。远程目标是通过暴露于广泛的研究和教育活动所产生的利益来增加该领域的少数卫生专业人员的数量。该计划基于MUSC在心血管研究中既定的力量，其对各级学生提供有意义的研究培训经验的坚定承诺以及其从代表性不足的群体介绍生物医学研究的学生的记录。该计划教师是一组由31个生产性，合作，独立的科学家组成的，具有强大的培训记录，其专业知识和兴趣与心血管科学高度相关，包括细胞通信和分子结构的多个方面及其在心脏形态发生，高血压，血管疾病和心脏超强和失败中的功能障碍。它们还包括对疾病和疾病感兴趣的教师，在南卡罗来纳州的非裔美国人居民中表现出明显更高的发病率，发病率和死亡率明显高于其他人口群体，甚至是该国其他地区的非裔美国人。除了研究研究项目和研究的指导外，学生还将参加心血管研讨会系列和批判性审查简介课程。高级研究选修课允许学生在医学院高级时期获得额外的研究经验和面向患者的研究。该计划受益于稳定的行政结构和致力于多样性的极强领导。一项衡量该计划实现其目标程度的全面评估计划也已就位。 （抽象的结尾）
