DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Benign urological diseases are a major public health concern. Unfortunately, there are insufficient numbers of well-trained cross-disciplinary researchers focused on these conditions. To overcome this limitation, we propose the development of the Duke KURe (K12 Multidisciplinary Urologic Research) Scholars Program. This program would build upon significant institutional support for benign urological research as well as leverage a pre-existing training program while allowing us to provide in-depth research training to a select group of very promising young investigators focused on benign urological diseases. KURe Scholars will undergo an intensive training experience tailored to their individual needs and goals under the guidance of no less than 3 mentors/scholar - one with clinical disease-related expertise, one with research approach-based expertise, and one with biostatistical expertise. Each team of one scholar and three mentors will be assigned a secondary mentor from the mentor pool. The role of the secondary mentor is to provide additional assistance to the scholar, but also to provide "independent" feedback to the primary mentors to ensure coordination and improve the mentoring of the mentors ("teaching the teachers"). Once assembled, these mentoring teams will meet with the scholar no less than quarterly as an entire team. Each scholar will also meet individually with each mentor at least monthly. Scholars will work on research projects designed by the scholar, but under the supervision and guidance of the mentoring team. This team approach is designed to maximize opportunities for the scholars to develop and improve their research skills (clinical, research, and biostatistical), which will maximize scholar education in terms of research design, peer-reviewed publications and future grant opportunities. In addition, all scholars will participate ina year-long course of didactic classes designed specifically for urological researchers. This course already exists at Duke, under the guidance of Dr. Stephen Freedland, PI/PD of the KURe Scholars Program. Beyond the standard year-long course, trainees will have access to classes throughout Duke University to further enhance their educational needs. Indeed, we anticipate all KURe scholars will partake of these extra training opportunities, with many obtaining graduate degrees (e.g. Masters of Clinical Research). The specific goals of the KURe Scholars Program are to: * To recruit and train the next generation of benign urological researchers * 2. Train the next generation of mentors to future benign urological researchers * 3. Improve the overall level of mentoring among research mentors * 4. Share the successful aspects of our KURe Scholars Program with other institutions across the country Our approach to accomplish these goals is outlined in detail in the application. Though the exact number of KURe funded scholars will vary year-to-year based upon availability of scholars, we anticipate that in an idealized setting, we would have 4 KURe funded scholars: 2 junior faculty (MD or MD/PhD), one post- residency fellow (MD or MD/PhD), and one senior post-doctoral researcher (PhD). The Duke KURe program builds on institutional strengths by providing a large and diverse mentoring pool. Indeed, Duke is ideally positioned to train the next generation of leaders in the field of benign urological research. While the initial funding period for the Duke KURe Scholar Program is for 5 years, we are hopeful that through successfully training urological research scholars and helping they achieve future academic success that we will be able to continue our KURe funding indefinitely.

描述（由申请人提供）：良性泌尿系统疾病是一个主要的公共卫生问题。不幸的是，专注于这些条件的训练有素的跨学科研究人员数量不足。为了克服这一限制，我们建议开发杜克大学 KURe（K12 多学科泌尿学研究）学者计划。该计划将以对良性泌尿外科研究的重要机构支持为基础，并利用现有的培训计划，同时使我们能够为一组精选的专注于良性泌尿外科疾病的非常有前途的年轻研究人员提供深入的研究培训。 KURe 学者将在不少于 3 名导师/学者的指导下，接受针对个人需求和目标的强化培训体验 - 一名具有临床疾病相关专业知识，一名具有基于研究方法的专业知识，另一名具有生物统计专业知识。每个团队由一名学者和三名导师组成，将从导师库中分配一名二级导师。二级导师的作用是为学者提供额外的帮助，同时也向初级导师提供“独立”的反馈，以确保协调和改进导师的指导（“教导教师”）。一旦组建完毕，这些指导团队将作为整个团队至少每季度与学者会面一次。每位学者还将至少每月与每位导师单独会面。学者将在导师团队的监督和指导下从事由学者设计的研究项目。这种团队方法旨在最大限度地为学者提供发展和提高研究技能（临床、研究和生物统计）的机会，这将最大限度地提高研究设计、同行评审出版物和未来资助机会方面的学者教育。此外，所有学者都将参加专门为泌尿外科研究人员设计的为期一年的教学课程。该课程已在杜克大学开设，由 KURe 学者计划 PI/PD Stephen Freedland 博士指导。除了标准的为期一年的课程外，学员还可以参加杜克大学的课程，以进一步提高他们的教育需求。事实上，我们预计所有 KURe 学者都将参与这些额外的培训机会，其中许多人获得研究生学位（例如临床研究硕士学位）。 KURe 学者计划的具体目标是： * 招募和培训下一代良性泌尿外科研究人员 * 2. 为未来的良性泌尿外科研究人员培养下一代导师 * 3.提高研究导师的整体指导水平 * 4. 与全国其他机构分享我们KURe学者计划的成功经验 申请中详细概述了我们实现这些目标的方法。尽管 KURe 资助的学者的确切数量每年都会根据学者的数量而有所不同，但我们预计在理想的情况下，我们将有 4 名 KURe 资助的学者：2 名初级教师（MD 或 MD/PhD）、1 名住院医师后研究员（MD 或 MD/PhD）和 1 名高级博士后研究员（PhD）。杜克大学 KURe 项目通过提供庞大且多样化的指导池来建立机构优势。事实上，杜克大学处于培养良性泌尿学研究领域下一代领导者的理想位置。虽然杜克大学 KURe 学者计划的初始资助期限为 5 年，但我们希望通过成功培训泌尿外科研究学者并帮助他们取得未来的学术成功，我们将能够无限期地继续提供 KURe 资助。
