DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Urologic diseases cause significant morbidity, mortality, and burden on the U.S. healthcare system of approximately $11B annually. To meet this healthcare challenge, a new generation of urologic researchers must be trained - both clinical and basic scientists. We propose training these future urologic researchers through the renewed funding of the Urology Training Program at Northwestern University. Our young program has already achieved important milestones, including placing its first trainee into the ranks of Assistant Professor at a distinguished institution. The Department of Urology has a long tradition training thought leaders in clinical and basic urologic research. In this application, we seek funding for two urologic research fellows annually. Fellows will be Ph.D. postdoctoral scientists or M.D., Ph.D. physician-scientists, and we have budgeted accordingly. The Urology Training Program relies upon 16 preceptors from within Urology and other Northwestern departments. Together, these preceptors represent diverse areas of urology, from basic biology and pathogenesis in the urinary tract to outcomes. The Urology Training Program also exploits the many centers, programs, and core facilities of Northwestern to provide a unique training environment that effectively trains fellows for successful careers in clinical and basic urologic research. In addition to the rigorous research components, the program is also structured to facilitate career development with training critical academic skills such as grant writing. An important component of the Urology Training Program is the structure that provides continuous evaluation of trainees, preceptors and the program itself by an internal Executive Committee and an external Steering Committee. Outstanding fellow candidates will be aggressively recruited from renowned Ph.D. programs and from the urology residency program at Northwestern University and its affiliation with the innovative Physician-Scientist Training Program. Only those candidates with a strong desire to pursue academic research and outstanding prior achievement will be considered for training in this highly selective program. Furthermore, every possible effort will be made to enhance diversity by specifically recruiting minority candidates. In summary, we have established a highly successful Urology Training Program. We seek to build upon our early successes by training the next generation of clinical and basic urologic researchers to provide improved diagnostics and therapies for urologic diseases.

描述（由申请人提供）：泌尿系统疾病导致显着的发病率、死亡率，并给美国医疗保健系统造成每年约 $11B 的负担。为了应对这一医疗保健挑战，必须培训新一代泌尿科研究人员——包括临床科学家和基础科学家。我们建议通过西北大学泌尿科培训计划的新资助来培训这些未来的泌尿科研究人员。我们的年轻项目已经实现了重要的里程碑，包括将其第一位实习生纳入杰出机构的助理教授行列。 泌尿外科有着培养临床和基础泌尿外科研究思想领袖的悠久传统。在此申请中，我们每年为两名泌尿科研究员寻求资金。研究员将成为博士学位。博士后科学家或 M.D.、Ph.D.医生科学家，我们也做了相应的预算。泌尿外科培训计划依靠来自泌尿外科和西北其他科室的 16 名导师。这些导师共同代表了泌尿外科的不同领域，从泌尿道的基础生物学和发病机制到结果。泌尿外科培训计划还利用西北大学的许多中心、项目和核心设施来提供独特的培训环境，有效地培训研究员在临床和基础泌尿外科研究中取得成功的职业生涯。除了严格的研究内容外，该计划还旨在通过培训关键的学术技能（例如资助写作）来促进职业发展。泌尿外科培训计划的一个重要组成部分是由内部执行委员会和外部指导委员会对学员、导师和计划本身进行持续评估的结构。 我们将从著名的博士生中积极招募优秀的候选人。计划和西北大学泌尿外科住院医师计划及其与创新医师科学家培训计划的联系。只有那些具有强烈的学术研究愿望和杰出的先前成就的候选人才会被考虑参加这个高度选择性的项目的培训。此外，将尽一切努力通过专门招募少数族裔候选人来增强多样性。 总之，我们建立了非常成功的泌尿外科培训计划。我们力求在早期成功的基础上，培训下一代临床和基础泌尿科研究人员，为泌尿科疾病提供改进的诊断和治疗。
