Doctoral Opportunities
The overarching goal of this research education program is to prepare nurse scientists to build investigative careers directed at improving our understanding of behavioral, biologic and genomic mechanisms associated with cardiovascular health, illness, risk, and the investigation of interventions designed to prevent or control CVD risk factors and promote cardiovascular health.
The nurse trainees receive interdisciplinary training in culturally appropriate research methods and ethical issues, including multiple methods of data collection, participatory research in the community, and international cross-cultural comparisons.
The pre and postdoctoral students obtain interdisciplinary research training, in which mentors from different disciplines bring their complimentary and related expertise to facilitate learning under a shared conceptual framework, to meet the following learning objectives:
