摘要：梅奥临床肾脏与泌尿外科暑期本科生奖学金(NuSURF) 梅奥诊所在肾脏病的基础科学和临床科学研究方面都有丰富的历史。 并有积极的博士、医学博士和医学博士培训计划。每年，梅奥研究生院 收到来自本科生的1200份申请，希望与梅奥诊所的研究员一起工作。梅奥诊所是 奥布莱恩泌尿学研究中心和梅奥翻译性多囊肾病的所在地 (PKD)中心。这两个梅奥中心都是美国国立卫生研究院资助的四个中心之一。在过去几年里， 这两个中心都获得了补充资金，以支持与肾脏相关的夏季本科生研究 Stones和PKD。根据RFA-DK-18-006(R25)，本提案(续订)合并了以下内容 三个成功的暑期本科生项目(约115名学生)进入更广泛的梅奥诊所 肾与泌尿外科本科生夏季研究奖学金(NuSURF)梅奥餐厅的几个学生 项目已进入博士、医学博士或医学博士项目，或与人合著了肾病学或面向泌尿外科 同行评议的论文。 在接下来的5年里，我们建议通过NUSURF资助14名学生/暑期(总共70名学生)，以 专门与从事肾脏和泌尿外科基础研究或翻译研究的梅奥研究人员合作。 这5年的时间将允许该项目的本科生进行创新的肾病学和泌尿学 与领先的梅奥诊所研究实验室进行研究。学生们还将参加各种教育 计划(例如，每周研讨会和小型课程)，以增强他们的研究经验。他们的10周 暑期体验的高潮将是(1)10分钟的口头报告他们的工作，(2)整个梅奥 暑期本科生海报展示(&gt；每年120名学生)和(3)NIDDK-KUH暑期本科生 研究研讨会每年夏季结束时在R25资助中心之一举行。紧随其后的是 暑期计划，将对学生进行学业跟踪，以确定Mayo nuSURF的有效性 具有肾脏和泌尿外科、基础研究和临床医学的经验。我们的目标是增加 作为这次nuSURF培训经验的结果，基础和临床肾脏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.
