Workshop and mentoring programme for early career investigators in antibiotic resistance in uro-genital tract infections (NAUGI)

泌尿生殖道感染是多种多样和广泛的疾病，占抗生素处方的大部分，因此正在推动抗生素耐药性。在这一领域迫切需要防止抗生素耐药性进一步出现的战略。泌尿生殖道感染横跨不同的临床和基础生物学学科（如泌尿科、男科、传染病、普通医学、妇科、儿科、微生物学、免疫学、药理学、解剖学和细胞生物学）。该应用程序的教师成员高度整合到几个专门的科学团体和网络协会中（例如，德国泌尿外科学会，Paul-Ehrlich-Gesellschaft，德国感染中心，欧洲泌尿外科协会欧洲泌尿外科感染科，国际化疗学会，德国泌尿外科学会，欧洲男科学会）。这确保了一个深刻的专业研讨会和指导计划。尽管这一领域的研究非常多样化、前沿化，而且常常是转化性的，但年轻科学家在这一领域却极为罕见。该应用程序的临床医生和研究人员因此形成了一个多学科的国际教师来申请Nachwuchsakademie UroGenitalen Infektionen (NAUGI)，为年轻的研究人员和临床医生提供在该领域开始科学事业的机会。为了吸引最优秀的年轻研究人员，该计划将通过本应用程序成员建立的深厚网络进行大量宣传。根据他们的科学背景和研究建议的质量，将有多达20位学者被竞争性地选出。¿NAUGI¿的科学背景由教师在研讨会的第一部分提供，然后提供有针对性的个人指导和培训，根据申请人的个人研究建议的需求量身定制。NAUGI的跨学科教师将集中指导申请学者两年，并为泌尿生殖道感染抗生素耐药性领域的跨学科和网络研究提供观点。

Uro-genital tract infections are diverse and widespread diseases accounting for a majority of antibiotic prescriptions and are thus driving antibiotic resistance. Strategies to prevent further emergence of antibiotic resistance are urgently needed in this field. Uro-genital tract infections are spanning distinct clinical and basic biological disciplines (e.g. urology, andrology, infectious diseases, general medicine, gynecology, pediatrics, microbiology, immunology, pharmacology, anatomy and cell biology). The members of the faculty in this application are highly integrated into several dedicated scientific groups and network societies (e.g. Deutsche Gesellschaft für Urologie, Paul-Ehrlich-Gesellschaft, Deutsches Zentrum für Infektionsforschung, European Section of Infection in Urology of the European Association of Urology, International Society of Chemotherapy, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Andrologie, European Society of Andrology), which ensures a profound professional workshop and mentoring programme. Although research in this field is highly diverse, cutting-edge and frequently translational, young scientists are extremely rare in this field. The clinicians and researchers of this application have thus formed a multidisciplinary, international faculty to apply for a ¿Nachwuchsakademie Antibiotikaresistenz bei UroGenitalen Infektionen (NAUGI)¿ to offer young researchers and clinicians the opportunity to start scientific careers in this field. The programme will be excessively advertised through the profoundly established networks of the members of this application, in order to attract the most excellent young researchers. Up to 20 scholars will be competitively selected, based on their scientific profile and the quality of their research proposals. The scientific background of ¿NAUGI¿ is provided by the faculty in the first part of a workshop, followed by delivering targeted individual mentoring and training, tailored to the needs of the individual research proposals of the applicants. The interdisciplinary faculty of ¿NAUGI¿ will intensively mentor applicant scholars for two years and provide perspectives for interdisciplinary and network research in the field of antibiotic resistance in infections of the uro-genital tract.
