Summer Undergraduate Program in Emory Renal Research (SUPERR)

项目摘要 Emory Renal Research（SUPERR）暑期本科课程将促进 对肾脏，泌尿学和血液学（KUH）疾病的研究表示赞赏， 本科生谁有兴趣在进一步他们的科学研究，并可以 鼓励从事生物医学科学研究。早期暴露 本科研究人员对这些令人兴奋的研究领域将给予有前途的学生第一- 在实验室方法方面的经验，以回答直接影响人类健康的问题 和疾病我们的目标是培养对KUH疾病的持续兴趣，从而增加 申请博士、医学博士/博士和医学博士课程的学生人数， 生物医学领域的科学家们在未来研究这些课题。SUPERR将揭露 本科生在KUH疾病目前的问题，正在调查， NIDDK支持埃默里大学的研究人员。经过全国征聘， 学生将参加为期11周的教学和实验室为基础的体验计划， 我们的亚特兰大校园，以提高他们的肾脏病学，泌尿学和血液学的知识 通过实验室实验、临床研究、职业发展活动进行研究， 在研究培训负责任的行为，并有机会提出和分享他们的研究。 具体的针对性技能将包括数据采集、分析和解释，以及科学知识。 演示文稿.夏季培训的高潮将是参加NIDDK 赞助暑期学生研究研讨会。我们的总体目标是培养下一个 在肾脏学、泌尿学或血液学研究方面的一代科学家和医生科学家。 具体目标1是继续我们的本科课程，在肾脏，泌尿外科， 或血液学疾病。具体目标2是促进对肾脏、泌尿科和 在妇女和代表性不足的少数民族中开展血液病研究。具体目标3 是增加本科招生到博士，医学博士/博士，和医学博士课程，擅长 肾脏学、泌尿学或血液学研究。

Project Summary The Summer Undergraduate Program in Emory Renal Research (SUPERR) will promote an appreciation for the study of kidney, urology, and hematologic (KUH) diseases among undergraduate students who are interested in furthering their scientific research and could be encouraged to pursue a career in biomedical scientific research. Early exposure of undergraduate researchers to these exciting areas of study will give promising students first- hand experience in laboratory methods to answer questions that directly affect human health and disease. Our goal is to foster sustained interest in KUH diseases, thereby increasing the number of students applying to PhD, MD/PhD, and MD programs, and increasing the cadre of scientists in the biomedical workforce studying these topics in the future. SUPERR will expose undergraduate students to current questions in KUH diseases that are being investigated by NIDDK supported investigators at Emory University. Following a national recruitment, selected students will participate in an 11-week didactic and laboratory-based experiential program on our Atlanta campus to advance their knowledge of nephrology, urology, and hematology research through laboratory experimentation, clinical research, career development activities, responsible conduct in research training, and opportunities to present and share their research. Specific targeted skills will include data acquisition, analysis and interpretation, and scientific presentation. The culmination of the summer training will be participation at the NIDDK sponsored Summer Student Research Symposium. Our overall objective is to train the next generation of scientists and physician-scientists in nephrology, urology, or hematology research. Specific Aim 1 is to continue our undergraduate program that garners interest in kidney, urology, or hematology diseases. Specific Aim 2 is to promote interest in kidney, urology, and hematology disease research among women and underrepresented minorities. Specific Aim 3 is to increase undergraduate enrollment into PhD, MD/PhD, and MD programs that excel in nephrology, urology, or hematology research.
