DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed training program will focus on research in genitoruinary disease. The training will cover the following topics: (1) Mechanism of benign and malignant growth of the prostate, urinary bladder, and kidney. (2) Etiology and treatment of urinary tract infectious diseases and prostatitis. (3) Testicular biology and male reproductive physiology. (4) Endocrinology, diabetes and related male erectile dysfunction. (5) Embryonic development and growth of urogenital organs. (6) Epidemiology and population based studies in urology. These areas are proposed because they represent significant medical problems, which require investment in manpower and expertise in research. The proposed training program will recruit qualified young physician scientists(MD or MD/PhD) and basic scientists(PhD or MD/PhD) to pursue academic careers in urology research. These trainees will work in modem facilities occupied by 14 faculty preceptors in Northwestern University. These preceptors are leading scientists in different disciplines in the field of urology. The proposed training program will recruit six trainees, who belong to three of the following four categories. Category 1 will be post-resident physician scientists, who have completed residency training and will devote one to two years in research. Category 2 will be MD urology resident fellows, who will devote one or two years during their residency solely in research laboratories. Category 3 will be postdoctoral fellows, who have completed PhD or MD/PhD degrees in a basic science field and will devote up to three years of intensive urology research. Category 4 will be pre-doctoral graduate students, who will not be funded by this grant but will study in basic mechanisms in urology diseases and to interact with other trainees. The above four categories of trainees will form a rich interactive environment, that will benefit in a synergistic manner. The opportunity to understand the basic mechanisms of urologic diseases and to work with human clinical materials by applying molecular, biochemical, and epidemiological techniques that are available within this training program will ensure the availability of an adequate outstanding manpower in urology research.

描述（由申请人提供）： 拟议的培训计划将侧重于泌尿生殖系统疾病的研究。培训将涵盖以下主题： (1)前列腺、膀胱和肾脏良性和恶性生长的机制。 (2)泌尿系感染性疾病和前列腺炎的病因及治疗。 (3)睾丸生物学与雄性生殖生理学。 (4)内分泌学、糖尿病及相关男性勃起功能障碍。 (5)胚胎发育和泌尿生殖器官的生长。 (6)泌尿科流行病学和人群基础研究。 之所以提出这些领域，是因为它们代表着重大的医疗问题，需要在人力和专门知识方面进行研究。拟议的培训计划将招募合格的年轻医生科学家（MD或MD/PhD）和基础科学家（PhD或MD/PhD）从事泌尿学研究的学术生涯。这些受训人员将在西北大学14名教师的现代化设施中工作。这些导师是泌尿外科领域不同学科的领先科学家。拟议的培训方案将招收六名受训人员，他们属于以下四个类别中的三个。 第一类将是后住院医师科学家，他们已经完成住院医师培训，并将投入一到两年的研究。第二类是医学博士泌尿外科住院研究员，他们将在研究实验室工作一到两年。第3类将是博士后研究员，他们已经完成了基础科学领域的博士或医学博士/博士学位，并将投入长达三年的密集泌尿学研究。第4类将是博士前研究生，他们将不受该补助金的资助，但将研究泌尿疾病的基本机制，并与其他学员互动。上述四类学员将形成一个丰富的互动环境，以协同方式受益。有机会了解泌尿系统疾病的基本机制，并通过应用分子，生物化学和流行病学技术与人类临床材料合作，这些技术在本培训计划中可用，将确保在泌尿学研究中有足够的优秀人才。
