> **NIH NIH T32** · MOREHOUSE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE · 2020 · $223,888

## Abstract

Abstract
The overall goal of this training program is to attract and train talented under-represented minority pre-
doctoral and post-doctoral students to Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) and prepare them to pursue
independent research career opportunities in Clinical and Translational Research (CTR) thereby augmenting
the number of highly skilled investigators pursuing CTR related to clinical cardiovascular disease and sleep
disorders.
The following aims will drive the overall goal of this program: Aim 1: Develop a multidisciplinary clinical
cardiovascular and sleep-disorders research training program that will recruit URM candidates across the
Atlanta Clinical and Translational Science Institute (ACTSI) and its partner institutions (MSM, Emory, and
Georgia Tech). We will target PhD graduate students interested in cardiovascular and sleep disorders research
for enrollment in the PhD/MSCR track in the MSM MSCR program, and target post-doctoral students
interested in cardiovascular and sleep disorders research for enrollment in the MSM MSCR program. Aim 2:
Enhance the clinical and translational research training environment in cardiovascular and sleep disorders for
minority T32 trainees. We will promote interdisciplinary discourse and scientific exchange among T32 trainees,
faculty and mentors.
We will harnesses the diversity and strength of MSM graduate medical education programs, the basic science
research excellence of the Cardiovascular and Neuroscience institutes, the outstanding clinical research
resources and mentorship of the ACTSI to address the above aims.
