CIBER Annual report 2019
Training Programme
Coordinator: José Antonio Barrabés Riu
The CIBERCV Training Programme seeks to train young people to become the cardiovascular researchers of the fu- ture in order to improve society’s cardiovascular health through the “Jordi Soler Soler” programme. In CIBERCV, this programme remains the main training initiative and some modifications have been introduced to further enhance training in the framework of collaborative research. This programme ultimately intends to foster quality and collab- orative translational research in the cardiovascular area in the CIBERCV groups through a training offer for young people with a research vocation. The specific objectives of this programme are:
• To structure a procedure for granting subsidies for contracting professionals undergoing a training plan in cardiovascular translational research in a multidisciplinary setting.
• The research contract aims to promote capacity-building in research within a collaborative framework be- tween at least two groups addressing the same problem from different perspectives. At least one clinical research group and another non-clinical group will take part.
• These contracts are meant for any young research professional in the post-doctoral stage or equivalent (medical doctors after completing their MIR residency training, for example).
This second call has been granted to a researcher who will carry out his research project led by Dr. Manuel Jiménez Navarro from the Cardiology Service of the Virgen de la Victoria Hospital in Málaga and Dr. Antonio Ordóñez, from the Cardiovascular Surgery Service of the Virgen del Rocío Hospital in Seville.
In addition to these grants, the Training Programme also funds research stays for CIBERCV staff at other groups within CIBERCV or at internationally relevant centres where the knowledge and capacities of the programme can be increased.
