DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The annual meeting (Kidney Week) of the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) brings together renowned nephrology leadership from around the world. Kidney Week allows participants to share novel and innovative approaches to changes in health care, to advance their careers, strengthen clinical and basic research funding mechanisms, and develop best practices for treating and improving lives of the people who live with kidney disease. Specific areas of nephrology include acute kidney injury, bone and mineral metabolism, cell and transport physiology, chronic kidney disease, development, dialysis, glomerulonephritis, hypertension and cardiovascular disease, novel translational approaches, pathology, renal cystic diseases, and transplantation and immunology. Kidney Week 2012 will be held from October 30 - November 4 in San Diego, CA. The ASN Program for Medical Students and Residents has been held at Kidney Week for over 15 years. Students and residents are nominated by fellowship training directors, program directors, or faculty from their institutions. Program events include a welcome reception with nephrology leadership, a complimentary breakfast, panel discussions with program directors and fellows, and mentored visits to abstract posters. In 2010 and 2011, a focus group of students met with representatives from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. Participating medical students and residents will have the opportunity to interact with world leaders in the field of nephrology and gain from exposure to educational material and novel research. As most of these students and residents are undecided as to which specialty they will pursue, this program is especially important in helping students and residents decide. The purpose of this grant application is to request funds to provide additional travel support awards to students and residents. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Project Narrative The goal of this annual program is to expose medical trainees, specifically medical students and residents, to the renal community. Nephrology is facing a workforce shortage and it is imperative that trainees receive adequate exposure to nephrology before choosing specialties. By awarding funds to allow trainees to attend ASN Kidney Week, medical students and residents will experience the premier kidney meeting in the world. Kidney professionals from around the world will meet to exchange knowledge and learn the latest scientific and medical advances. In addition to this valuable experience, trainees will have the opportunity to interact with nephrology training program directors and other nephrology leaders, as well as other trainees from across the country. As chronic kidney disease affects more and more of the US population, the need for nephrologists will increase. It is vital that more trainees decide to pursue a specialty in nephrology.

描述（由申请人提供）：美国肾脏病学会（American Society of Nephrology）的年度会议（肾脏周）汇集了来自世界各地的著名肾脏病学领导。肾脏周允许参与者分享新颖和创新的方法来改变医疗保健，促进他们的职业生涯，加强临床和基础研究资助机制，并制定治疗和改善肾病患者生活的最佳实践。肾脏学的具体领域包括急性肾损伤、骨和矿物质代谢、细胞和运输生理学、慢性肾脏疾病、发育、透析、肾小球肾炎、高血压和心血管疾病、新的转化方法、病理学、肾囊肿疾病以及移植和免疫学。2012年肾脏周将于10月30日至11月4日在加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥举行。为医学生和居民举办的肾脏周活动已经举办了15年。学生和居民由奖学金培训主任，项目主任或教师从他们的机构提名。项目活动包括与肾脏病学领导的欢迎招待会，免费早餐，与项目主任和研究员的小组讨论，以及指导访问抽象海报。2010年和2011年，一个焦点学生小组会见了来自国家糖尿病、消化和肾脏疾病研究所的代表。参与的医学生和住院医师将有机会与肾脏病学领域的世界领导者互动，并从接触教育材料和新颖的研究中获益。由于这些学生和居民中的大多数人都没有决定他们将从事哪一个专业，这个项目在帮助学生和居民决定方面尤为重要。此补助金申请的目的是要求资金提供额外的旅行支持奖给学生和居民。 公共卫生关系：这个年度计划的目标是让医学实习生，特别是医学生和居民，接触肾脏社区。肾脏病学面临劳动力短缺，学员在选择专业之前必须充分接触肾脏病学。通过提供资金，让学员参加肾脏病周，医学生和居民将体验世界上首屈一指的肾脏会议。来自世界各地的肾脏专家将交流知识，学习最新的科学和医学进展。除了这一宝贵的经验，学员将有机会与肾脏病学培训项目主任和其他肾脏病学领导人，以及来自全国各地的其他学员互动。随着慢性肾脏疾病影响越来越多的美国人口，对肾病学家的需求将增加。至关重要的是，更多的学员决定从事肾脏病学专业。
