项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The renewal of this R25-Excellence in Cardiovascular Sciences (EICS) program--will continue to provide short-term training for undergraduate students of diverse backgrounds, focusing on research training related to the cardiovascular system with an emphasis on teams of investigators involved in translational research. This approach takes advantage of the broad, multidisciplinary cardiovascular research ongoing at Wake Forest School of Medicine (WFSM), with areas of expertise in hypertension, atherosclerosis, diabetes, obesity, and vascular disease. Faculty from the Hypertension & Vascular Research Center, Center for Diabetes Research, Departments of Physiology/Pharmacology, Pathology and Biochemistry, Molecular Medicine Program and Divisions of Medicine and Surgery participate as Research Mentors, many of whom have participated in the program for 15-20 years. New Research Mentors were recruited for the renewal in keeping with the program directors desire to develop mentoring skills in newly appointed or young investigators. The trainees will be minority students, those from disadvantaged backgrounds, or those with disabilities wishing to pursue a biomedical research project. The overall objectives remain to 1) introduce students to biomedical research through hands-on participation in a research project; 2) introduce students to critical scientific evaluatin by participating in a cardiovascular journal club; 3) provide experience in scientific writing and speaking through presentation of the research project as a poster; 4) provide exposure to research faculty, both basic science and clinical; and 5) foster a long-term commitment to pursue a career in the biomedical sciences through an experience that exemplifies the excitement and challenges of clinically relevant investigation. New objectives for the renewal include: 6) providing exposure to diverse career opportunities by bi-weekly faculty chats with Career Mentors; 7) facilitating matriculation into biomedical graduate programs by providing information on applying to graduate school, taking the GRE examination; and 8) yearly in-depth formal evaluation of the mentees by their Research Mentors. Over 80% of former participants in the program who have finished their undergraduate degrees go on to graduate, medical or industrial technical positions. Furthermore, ~15% of the participants have continued their association with WFSM as PhD students, medical students or technical/post-bac students. In fact, ~30% of the PhD's awarded to under-represented minority students in our biomedical sciences programs from 2009-2011 were from the EICS program. These statistics demonstrate the continued success of the EICS program and its primary focus of providing training to under-represented minorities to facilitate their matriculation into post-graduate programs and their careers in biomedical research.

描述（由申请人提供）：这种R25脱颖而出的心血管科学（EICS）计划的续签 - 将继续为不同背景的本科生提供短期培训，重点关注与心血管系统有关的研究培训，重点关注参与转化研究的研究人员的研究。这种方法利用了Wake Forest医学院（WFSM）正在进行的广泛的多学科心血管研究，并具有高血压，动脉粥样硬化，糖尿病，肥胖和血管疾病方面的专业知识。高血压与血管研究中心，糖尿病研究中心，生理学/药理学，病理学和生物化学部门，分子医学计划以及医学和手术部门的研究人员参与研究导师，其中许多人参加了该计划15-20年。招募了新的研究导师，以与计划导演希望在新任命或年轻调查人员中发展指导技能的兴趣。学员将是少数派学生，来自处境不利的背景或希望从事生物医学研究项目的残疾人。总体目标仍然存在于1）通过动手参与研究项目向学生介绍生物医学研究； 2）通过参加心血管期刊俱乐部，向学生介绍重要的科学评估； 3）通过将研究项目作为海报提供科学写作和讲话的经验； 4）提供基础科学和临床研究教师的接触； 5）培养长期承诺，通过体现临床相关调查的兴奋和挑战的经验，从事生物医学科学的职业。续签的新目标包括：6）每两周与职业导师聊天，为各种职业机会提供曝光； 7）通过提供有关研究生院的信息，参加GRE考试，从而促进生物医学研究生课程的入学； 8）他们的研究导师对受训者的年度正式评估。已完成本科学位的该计划的前参与者中，超过80％的参与者继续毕业，医疗或工业技术职位。此外，约有15％的参与者继续与WFSM作为博士生，医学生或技术/BAC学生的联系。实际上，从2009 - 2011年开始，在我们的生物医学科学计划中，约有30％的博士学位授予代表性不足的少数族裔学生。这些统计数据表明，EICS计划的持续成功及其为代表性不足的少数民族提供培训的主要重点，以促进其入学研究生计划及其在生物医学研究中的职业。（抽象的结尾）
