# Training Program in Basic and Translational Cardiovascular Science

> **NIH NIH T32** · UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AT DAVIS · 2022 · $277,015

## Abstract

ABSTRACT
This is a renewal application of a training program in its 9th year that seeks funding to support predoctoral and
postdoctoral research trainees in a multidisciplinary research program in cardiovascular and vascular diseases
spanning from molecular and cellular studies, imaging, biomedical engineering, to translational science. During
the last funding cycle, we have been highly successful in expanding our training program from 31 faculty five
years ago to 40 faculty in this competing renewal. The faculty in our Training Program are from five different
schools/Colleges. Indeed, the training program has had a highly synergistic impact on our institution; we have
been successful in establishing a new Cardiovascular Research Center (CVRC) through institutional funding
from five different schools and colleges at UC Davis which will be launched in Fall 2017. The curriculum and
activities developed within the training program have been used as models for other training grants in
translational research on campus and hence, serve a wider group of trainees at UC Davis.
The Program operates under the auspices of the Department of Internal Medicine and the Graduate Studies in
Molecular, Cellular and Integrative Physiology (MCIP), Pharmacology and Toxicology (PTX), Biochemistry,
Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology (BMCDB), Biophysics (BPH) and Biomedical Engineering
(BME), a truly multidisciplinary program. The goal of the Training Program is to produce a new blend of
scientists who are poised to exchange ideas, expertise, and techniques leading to the direct and effective flow
and translation of basic science discoveries into clinical testing and applications, as well as generate
mechanistic hypotheses that can be tested at the basic cellular level, directly derived from clinical research.
The advantages of such an integrated program are vast and far reaching. By merging clinical mentors together
with pre-doctoral and post-doctoral trainees in basic science, our objectives are to foster new Ph.D.s and
postdoctoral researchers who are not only capable of establishing independent research, but are also adept to
recognizing and integrating relevant basic science questions into clinically germane answers and solutions.
