ABSTRACT The numbers of highly trained biomedical investigators in kidney disease research is ever dwindling. It is imperative that we initiate innovative schemes to reinvigorate the next generation of renal researchers. Innovative and creative research investigators are required to move forward in our understanding of the highly complex pathophysiology observed in kidney disease. Kidney disease is increasing today at higher rates than ever before with few treatment options other than renal replacement therapy. We have very few basic scientists and/or clinician scientists trained in kidney disease research. The overall goal of this R25 proposal is to estblish a focused summer undergraduate research experience at UAB exclusively on kidney disease research with novel strategies to engage and empower students to be life-long researchers. The novel strategy of the Kidney Undergraduate Research Experience (KURE) program will incorporate focused training of undergraduate students to foster development of critical thinking, communication, and hands on kidney research skills as well as engagement in the pathophysiology of kidney disease—all strategies are centered on the student gaining an identification with basic and translational kidney research. The KURE program will expose our scholars to the rigor and depth of scientific thinking and communication skills that will prepare them to contribute to medical advances throughout their careers. Novel strategies are needed to engage and empower students for life-long careers in kidney disease research. The KURE program will help to expand the scientist and physician-scientist workforce dedicated to renal research that is currently shrinking in the US, as well as broaden and further enhance the culture of academic investigation of kidney disease at the UAB academic medical center. This will be accomplished by their participation in the Kidney Cross-Talk Workshop (KCTW) series that will start with participation in a 1-day team science, networking, and communications retreat as well as the development of critical thinking about kidney physiology and pathophysiology ending with shadowing experiences with nephrologists and patients with kidney disease. Further, KURE scholars will be enrolled in our Continuing Career Mentorship program that will utilize near peer mentorship to interact in-person during the summer as well as through the KURE Facebook, LinkedIn networking, and the “newsletter” In the Loop.

抽象的 肾脏疾病研究中训练有素的生物医学研究人员的数量一直在减少。这是 我们必须启动创新计划来振兴下一代肾脏研究人员。 创新和创造性的研究研究人员必须向前发展，以了解我们对高度的理解 在肾脏疾病中观察到的复杂病理生理学。今天的肾脏疾病的增长率高于 除了肾脏替代疗法以外，以前有很少的治疗选择。我们很少有基本 接受肾脏疾病研究培训的科学家和/或临床科学家。该R25提案的总体目标 是在UAB上专注于肾脏的夏季本科生研究经验 疾病研究具有新颖的策略，使学生成为终身研究人员。 肾脏本科研究经验（KURE）计划的新颖策略将纳入 专注于本科生的培训，以促进批判性思维，沟通和 动手肾脏研究技能以及参与肾脏疾病的病理生理学 - 策略集中在学生获得基本和翻译的肾脏研究的身份证明上。 库尔计划将使我们的学者暴露于科学思维和交流的严格和深度 他们将使他们在整个职业生涯中为医疗进步做出贡献的技能。新颖的策略是 需要吸引并赋予学生在肾脏疾病研究中的终身职业生涯。库尔计划 将有助于扩大专门用于肾脏研究的科学家和身体科学家的劳动力队伍 在美国收缩，并扩大并进一步增强了肾脏研究的文化 UAB学术医学中心的疾病。这将通过他们参加Kidsney来实现 跨谈研讨会（KCTW）系列将从参加为期1天的团队科学，网络和 沟通务虚会以及有关肾脏生理学和的批判性思维的发展 病理生理学以肾脏病医生和肾脏疾病患者的阴影经历结尾。 此外，库尔学者将参加我们持续的职业指导计划，该计划将在Peer附近使用 在夏季以及通过Kure Facebook，LinkedIn的Kure Facebook互动 网络，循环中的“新闻通讯”。
