Cardiovascular Summer Institute

Program Overview

The Cardiovascular Summer Institute Program is a career advancement
opportunity sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute
(NHLBI).

This mentored research program addresses the difficulties experienced by
junior investigators in establishing independent research programs and
negotiating through the academic ranks. The primary outcome of this
program is to increase the number of scientists and research-oriented
faculty who are interested in cardiovascular health to successfully compete
for external funding for scientific research in the biomedical and behavioral
sciences studying heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS) disorders.
