## Abstract

Project Summary/Abstract
The goal of this innovative program “Research Education in Cardiovascular (CV) Conditions (RECV)” is to
develop, implement, and evaluate a short-term program that offers a broad knowledge base on CV risk factors,
health disparities, and innovative research methods and analyses (e.g., advanced statistical methods,
genomics); and provide cutting edge research and scholarship experiences in team science and individualized
mentoring. We will recruit and enroll underrepresented minority undergraduate and graduate students who are
interested in research education in the prevention and management of CVD. The proposed RECV is a 10-
week summer research intensive program that leverages the resources and expertise of NYU Meyers as well
as those across NYU (including the School of Medicine (e.g., AHA Soter Center for Women's Cardiovascular
Research); Department of Population Health (e.g., NYU PRIDE); College of Dentistry; College of Global Public
Health; and the Silver School of Social Work) to provide interdisciplinary and team science training and
research opportunities, thereby contributing to an increased number of promising diverse interdisciplinary
scientists committed to future biomedical, behavioral and clinical CV research. Specific aim 1 is to develop,
implement and sustain a 10-week interdisciplinary RECV program that provides individual mentorship and
group-based education along with applied learning experiences. Together with interdisciplinary NYU faculty
experts in CVD, we will develop and implement the RECV curriculum and applied/hands-on research
experiences. Further, we will establish an Advisory Committee to provide oversight and recommendations for
the program, particularly on evaluation and sustainability. Specific aim 2 is to recruit, enroll, and retain an
interdisciplinary cohort of 10 underrepresented minority undergraduate (n=6) and graduate (n=4) students
annually into the RECV program. We will recruit students from underrepresented populations from NYU, New
York City, and outside the region using multi-faceted strategies. Specific aim 3 is to evaluate the success of the
RECV program. To accomplish this aim we will evaluate student and faculty mentor satisfaction and program
goal attainment, establish a RECV Research Meeting for presentations of student-faculty research products,
track student progress in the program, evaluate students' future plans for educational and career development
upon RECV completion and yearly for the duration of the award, and establish a network of RECV program
alumni and research mentors to support trainee career trajectories that prepare them to pursue future
competitive fellowships and other CVD research training. The expected outcome is a sustainable RECV
program that supports interdisciplinary training of a diverse cohort of future scientists who will become pioneers
in CV health-related research engaged in team science. Our RECV supports the NHLBI strategic plan to
enhance t...
