Please include all below components in a single document.
- An abstract of an investigative proposal on the project concept of interest, and how the concept will undergo a triage and validation process prior to hypothesis-driven research.
- A description of the candidate’s background, prior training, and future career goals. Candidates will be highly encouraged to detail a career-development plan, and specifically describe how the training program will assist them in achieving their career goals in cardiovascular research innovation.
- A description of the candidate’s educational goals and proposed curriculum track that they may wish to pursue (from the proposed curriculum blocks) to augment their learning objectives.
- A proposed primary clinical and primary engineering mentoring team within the faculty mentor roster. Trainees will also be recommended to choose a primary faculty mentor that is either compatible with the trainee’s primary educational program or has direct expertise that is relevant to the project concept being proposed. When applicable, trainees will also be encouraged to add proposed secondary/tertiary clinical/engineering mentors.
- A brief research outline generated with the guidance of the proposed mentoring team that outlines how project concepts are significant and innovative and can lead to feasible hypothesis-driven experimentation and are congruent with the trainee’s ultimate career goals.
- 2-3 letters of support from the trainee’s division chief or department chair, and prospective primary mentors (clinical and engineering).
