PROJECT SUMMARY: ADMINISTRATIVE CORE NIDDK-funded training programs have been essential for fostering the career development of scientists and physician-scientists tackling questions in the kidney, urology and hematology (KUH) research areas, but these programs have yielded varying degrees of success. To best meet future challenges, NIDDK understands the need to train promising individuals for interdisciplinary team science and draw upon extensive, collaborative resources to establish communities of trainees. Chicagoland is a metro area rich in world-class medical centers and other resources essential to establish such an interdisciplinary training program and make sustained impacts on KUH research training. The interdisciplinary Chicago Kidney Urology Hematology network FOR city-Wide reseArch tRaining and career Development (Chicago KUH FORWARD) brings together 6 public and private academic institutions that provide unique and complementary training opportunities across Chicagoland. These critical assets must be coordinated to yield the best training opportunities for fellows and to maximize effectiveness of the Professional Development, Network and Training Cores. The Administrative Core will ensure effective function of Chicago KUH FORWARD through establishing shared governance, collaborative workflow, continual assessment and improvement, and disseminating the work and successes of trainees through yearly NIDDK U2C/TL1 KUH Institutional Network meetings. The Specific Aims of the Administrative Core are: 1) Establish an organizational and governance structure fostering communication, collaboration and integration; 2) Develop comprehensive program evaluation, data review and cycles of improvement; 3) Establish an External Evaluation Board (EEB) for performance and diversity oversight; and 4) Organize a meeting of the NIDDK U2C/TL1 KUH Institutional Network. The Administrative Core will be directed by Dr. Alfred George, who has extensive experience in the oversight of training programs, shared leadership of the George M. O'Brien Kidney Research Core Center at Northwestern University (NU-GoKIDNEY) and leadership of large collaborative research projects, which have necessitated oversight and management of multiple subcontracts. Dr. Pinelopi Kapitsinou will serve as the Co-Director and she has experience in co-leading a NU-GoKIDNEY Research Core. They will be assisted by dedicated Program Coordinator and Manager, who will serve all aspects of the program and will facilitate effective communication and integration of Cores and Committees. Experts in education and evaluation will lend their expertise to ensure continual cycles of evaluation and improvement. An inter- institutional Steering Committee with shared leadership and representation of all stakeholders will foster equitable governance among disciplines and institutions. Together, successful completion of these Aims and effective function of the Administrative Core will result in an interdisciplinary and collaborative environment that draws upon the unique and complementary strengths of our world-class research institutions to train the next generation of KUH researchers. This training environment will contribute to an important nationwide Institutional Network.
