# CVD Epidemiology Training Program

> **NIH NIH T32** · WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY HEALTH SCIENCES · 2020 · $397,755

## Abstract

Project Summary
This is a renewal application for continued support of a T-32 training program at the Wake Forest University
School of Medicine. This program is specifically designed for MDs and non-physician postdocs committed to a
career in clinical and population cardiovascular research. The evolving nature of our nation’s cardiovascular
research agenda will require a biomedical workforce that includes diverse scientists well-trained in clinical and
population cardiovascular research. Here we propose to recruit two to three post-doctoral trainees per year
into a two-year research training program that includes a thesis-based Master’s Degree in Clinical and
Population Translational Science, participation in extramural seminars and short courses such as the NHLBI-
sponsored Ten-Day Seminar on the Epidemiology and Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease, comprehensive
professional development and networking activities, and a diverse array of faculty-mentored research
opportunities. The program has a 14-year track record of successful recruitment and retention of highly
qualified trainees – including under-represented minorities, has developed and continually improved a
scientifically relevant educationally focused training experience, has a Program Director and diverse Faculty
with extensive research and mentoring experience, and has a rich and institutionally supportive environment in
which to carry out this program.
