摘要：马约诊所肾脏病学和泌尿外科暑期本科生研究奖学金（nuSURF） 马约诊所在肾脏病学的基础科学和临床科学研究方面有着丰富的历史， 泌尿外科，并拥有活跃的博士，医学博士和MD-PhD培训计划。每年，马约研究生院 收到超过1200份本科生申请与马约诊所研究员合作。马约诊所是 这里是奥布莱恩泌尿学研究中心和马约转化型多囊肾病的所在地 (PKD)中心这两个马约中心都是美国国家卫生研究院资助的四个中心之一。在过去的几年里， 这两个中心都收到了补充资金，以支持与肾脏有关的夏季本科生研究 结石和PKD。本提案（更新）响应RFA-DK-18-006（R25），合并了以下内容 三个成功的夏季本科课程（约115名学生）进入更广泛的马约诊所 肾脏病学和泌尿外科夏季本科生研究奖学金（nuSURF）。马约学校的几个学生 项目已进入博士，医学博士，或MD-PhD项目，或共同撰写肾脏病学或泌尿外科导向 同行评审的论文 在接下来的5年里，我们建议通过nuSURF资助14名学生/夏季（共70名学生）， 专门与从事肾脏病学和泌尿学基础或转化研究的马约研究人员合作。 这5年期间将允许本科生在该计划进行创新的肾脏病学和泌尿外科学 与领先的马约诊所研究实验室合作进行研究。学生还将参加各种教育活动。 程序（例如，每周的研讨会和小型课程），以提高他们的研究经验。他们的10周 夏季的经验将达到高潮（1）10分钟的口头介绍他们的工作，（2）整个梅奥 夏季本科生海报展示（> 120名学生/年）和（3）NIDDK-KUH夏季本科生 研究研讨会每年在夏季结束时在一个资助的R25中心举行。后 暑期课程，学生将在学术上跟踪，以确定马约nuSURF的有效性 在泌尿外科、基础研究和临床医学方面的经验。我们的目标是增加 nuSURF培训经验的结果是基础和临床肾脏病学和泌尿外科研究人员。

Abstract: Mayo Clinic Nephrology & Urology Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (nuSURF) The Mayo Clinic has a rich history in both basic science and clinic science research in Nephrology & Urology, and has active PhD, MD and MD-PhD training programs. Annually, the Mayo Graduate School receives >1200 applications from Undergraduates to work with Mayo Clinic Investigators. The Mayo Clinic is home to both an O’Brien Urology Research Center as well as a Mayo Translational Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) Center. Both Mayo Centers are one of four NIH funded Centers in the US. For the past several years, both Centers have received supplemental funds to support summer undergraduate research related to kidney stones and PKD, respectively. This proposal (renewal), in response to RFA-DK-18-006 (R25) merges these three successful summer undergraduate programs (~115 students) into a more generalized Mayo Clinic Nephrology & Urology Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (nuSURF). Several students from Mayo’s programs have entered PhD, MD, or MD-PhD programs, or have co-authored Nephrology or Urology-oriented peer-reviewed papers. Over the next 5 years, we proposed to fund 14 students/summer (70 students total) through nuSURF to work specifically with Mayo Investigators engaged in basic or translational research in Nephrology & Urology. This 5 year period will allow undergraduates in the program to perform innovative Nephrology & Urology research with leading Mayo Clinic research laboratories. Students will also participate in various educational programs (e.g., weekly seminars and mini-courses) to enhance their research experience. Their 10-week summer experience will culminate with (1) a 10-minute oral presentation of their work, (2) a Mayo-wide Summer Undergraduate poster presentation (> 120 student/yr) and (3) a NIDDK-KUH Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium held annually at the end of the Summer at one of the funded R25-centers. Following the Summer Program, students will be academically tracked to determine the effectiveness of the Mayo nuSURF experience in Nephrology & Urology, basic research and clinical medicine. Our goal is to increase the number of basic and clinical Nephrology & Urology researchers as a result of this nuSURF training experience.
