DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is a request for partial funding to support travel grants for junior attendees to participate in the annual Professional Development Seminar (PDS) organized by Women in Nephrology (WIN) for the American Society of Nephrology (ASN). The PDS has been held yearly for the last ten years, and in 2006 the PDS will be held on November 15th, during the ASN Renal Week. The PDS encourages attendance of a diverse group of participants, including men, women, minorities and participants with disabilities. The main objectives of the PDS are: a) to provide insight into a successful career in the field of nephrology (clinical and research), b) to highlight qualities necessary to develop these career characteristics, and c) to prepare the attendees to identify and develop strategies for overcoming potential barriers to accomplishing career goals. The PDS is tailored to meet the needs of fellows and junior faculty (defined as junior attendees) wishing to pursue clinical and/or basic science research careers in the field of Nephrology. The one-day PDS program is divided in two sections: one section is targeted towards career development of early career nephrologists and Ph.D. scientists who aim to develop strategies to better manage their professional lives. Topics such as "Writing Grants", "Writing Articles", "Managing a laboratory", "Mentoring" and "Networking" will be addressed. The second component is targeted to mid-career nephrologists or scientists considering administrative and leadership roles. This part emphasizes clinical, educational, research program building, financial management and interpersonal skills. This program offered by the PDS is of high relevance to the mission of the NIDDK, in terms of their aim to support career development in the field of Nephrology. The PDS brings together investigators that would not typically interact. For example, PDS invites speakers who are not only successful clinical and basic science researchers in the field of nephrology, but are also well known as successful mentors from academic institutions across North America. The PDS addresses current and cutting edge topics on career development in research and education. Speakers discuss funding initiatives, demand for academic positions, and statistics on women and minorities in leadership roles. The PDS is designed to promote the careers of future nephrologists, both clinical and research, and provides a forum where barriers are discussed. As such, this seminar is a unique opportunity for junior attendees to attain valuable advice and information on furthering their careers, a prime goal that is common to WIN, ASN and NIDDK. 1 The Professional Development Seminar (PDS) addresses current and cutting edge topics in career development, including basic and clinical research career paths in nephrology. This program also covers managerial and time management issues. PDS speakers are encouraged to include in their talks research that addresses the latest statistics on funding, initiatives, demand for academic and non-academic workforce positions, and numbers of minority and women leadership positions, for example. The increasing numbers of patients with chronic kidney disease, now reaching epidemic proportions, make it necessary to train more health care providers and researchers. In this application, the Principal Investigator and the organizing committee request funds to partially support travel grants for junior attendees to the PDS, and we present evidence that the leadership of the nephrology community, the Women in Nephrology leadership, the American Society of Nephrology leadership, and the nephrology community of trainees, practitioners and researchers see how the PDS serves an important function in the preparedness of the nephrology clinical, research and educational workforce.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该申请是为了支持初级参与者参加的律师资助的要求，以参加由妇女肾脏病（WIN）组织的年度专业发展研讨会（PDS）（ASN）。 PDS在过去十年中每年举行，2006年PDS将于11月15日在ASN肾脏周举行。 PDS鼓励一群不同的参与者参加，包括男性，妇女，少数民族和残疾参与者。 PD的主要目标是：a）洞悉肾脏学领域的成功职业（临床和研究），b）强调发展这些职业特征所需的素质，c）为参加者做好准备，以确定和制定克服实现职业目标的潜在障碍的战略。 PDS的量身定制为满足研究员和初级教师（定义为初级参与者）的需求，希望从肾脏学领域从事临床和/或基础科学研究职业。为期一天的PDS计划分为两个部分：一个部分针对早期职业肾病学家和博士学位的职业发展。旨在制定策略以更好地管理其职业生活的科学家。将解决诸如“写作赠款”，“写作文章”，“管理实验室”，“指导”和“网络”之类的主题。第二个组成部分是针对中级肾病学家或考虑行政和领导角色的科学家。这部分强调临床，教育，研究计划建设，财务管理和人际交往能力。 PDS提供的该计划与NIDDK的使命相关，其目的是支持肾脏学领域的职业发展。 PD将调查人员汇集在一起​​，这些调查人员通常不会相互作用。例如，PDS邀请演讲者，他们不仅是肾脏科领域成功的临床和基础科学研究人员，而且也被称为北美学术机构的成功导师。 PDS介绍了研究和教育职业发展的当前和尖端主题。演讲者讨论了资金计划，对学术职位的需求以及有关领导职务的妇女和少数民族的统计数据。 PD旨在促进临床和研究的未来肾病学家的职业，并提供了讨论障碍的论坛。因此，该研讨会是初级与会者获得有关进一步发展职业的宝贵建议和信息的独特机会，这是赢得ASN和NIDDK的主要目标。 1专业发展研讨会（PDS）介绍了职业发展中的当前和最前沿主题，包括肾脏科的基本和临床研究职业道路。该计划还涵盖了管理和时间管理问题。鼓励PDS发言人在谈判研究中包括有关资金，倡议，对学术和非学术劳动力职位的需求以及少数族裔和妇女领导职务的数量的最新统计数据。慢性肾脏疾病的患者数量越来越多，现在已经达到了流行病，因此有必要培训更多的医疗保健提供者和研究人员。在本申请中，首席研究员和组织委员会要求资金部分支持PDS初级参与者的旅行赠款，我们提供证据表明，肾脏病学界的领导，肾脏科领导力领导的妇女，美国肾脏病学会，肾脏病学会，肾脏学社会以及PDS的肾脏学社区，实践者和研究人员如何为研究人员提供重要的培训，这些职能是在研究中的重要功能。
