DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary goal of our training program in "Cardiovascular Biomechanics and Imaging" is to attract, train, and graduate highly qualified, multi-disciplinary scientists in the area of cardiovascular bioengineering at pre- and post-doctoral levels. The program was created 10 years ago in response to: 1) the dearth of training opportunities available at the intersection between cardiovascular medicine and bioengineering at the University of Colorado and indeed within the Greater Rocky Mountain region; and 2) the strong institutional commitment to build bioengineering research and training within the University of Colorado. We believe the first 10 years have produced outstanding outcomes, with all pre-doctoral and post-doctoral graduates of the program in research positions within academia or industry, and many successfully receiving research grants and trainees of their own. Further, NHLBI T32 funding has been extraordinarily important in leveraging a large amount of additional funding from the University of Colorado, which bodes well for our next cycle of trainees. We believe the combination of outstanding outcomes, significant and continuing institutional support and growing reputation make a compelling argument to continue this program for the next 5 years, and thereby establish the University of Colorado as a premiere training destination for cardiovascular bioengineering.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们“心血管生物力学和成像”培训项目的主要目标是吸引、培训和毕业心血管生物工程领域的博士前和博士后水平的高素质、多学科科学家。该项目于 10 年前创建，旨在应对以下问题：1) 科罗拉多大学乃至大落基山脉地区缺乏心血管医学和生物工程交叉领域的培训机会； 2）科罗拉多大学对建立生物工程研究和培训的坚定机构承诺。我们相信前十年已经取得了出色的成果，该项目的所有博士前和博士后毕业生都在学术界或工业界担任研究职务，许多人成功地获得了自己的研究资助和实习生。此外，NHLBI T32 资金对于利用科罗拉多大学的大量额外资金非常重要，这对我们下一个周期的学员来说是个好兆头。我们相信，杰出的成果、重要且持续的机构支持以及日益增长的声誉相结合，成为在未来 5 年继续该项目的有力理由，从而将科罗拉多大学打造成心血管生物工程的首要培训目的地。 （摘要完）
