The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded Baylor College of Medicine a $562,641 Project Grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to support the "Cardiovascular Research and Drug Development (CRDD) Training Program." This 5-year program aims to train predoctoral (PhD and MD/PhD) students in cardiovascular research and therapeutic development, with a focus on increasing diversity in the field. Key program components include formal coursework, mentored research, and internship opportunities at local biotech companies. The grant will fund the recruitment and training of 21 predoctoral fellows, 28% of whom are from underrepresented backgrounds, providing them the opportunity to conduct high-impact research and publish in leading journals. This award reflects NHLBI's commitment to developing the next generation of cardiovascular scientists and clinicians.
