Summer Undergraduate Program in Emory Renal Research (SUPERR)

项目摘要/摘要 埃默里肾脏研究(SUPR)夏季本科生计划将促进 肾脏、泌尿外科和血液系统(KUH)疾病研究进展 有志于进一步从事科学研究的本科生 鼓励他们从事生物医学科学研究。早期暴露于 这些令人兴奋的研究领域的本科生研究人员将首先给有前途的学生 亲身体验实验室方法回答直接影响人类健康的问题 和疾病。我们的目标是培养人们对KUH疾病的持续兴趣，从而增加 申请博士和医学博士/博士项目的学生数量，并增加了 生物医学工作者中的科学家们未来将研究这些主题。Superr会揭露 本科生对KUH疾病的当前问题进行调查 NIDDK支持埃默里大学的调查人员。在全国招募之后，选定了 学生将参加为期12周的教学和以实验室为基础的体验计划 亚特兰大校区将提高他们在肾病学、泌尿学和血液学研究方面的知识 通过实验室实验、临床研究、职业发展活动，负责任 开展研究培训，并有机会介绍和分享他们的研究成果。特定的 有针对性的技能将包括数据获取、分析和解释以及科学 演示文稿。为期12周的培训的高潮将是参加NIDDK 在贝塞斯达举办暑期学生研究研讨会。我们的总体目标是培训 肾病、泌尿外科或血液学领域的下一代科学家和内科科学家 研究。具体目标1是建立一个引起学生兴趣的本科生课程 肾脏、泌尿外科和血液系统疾病。具体目标2是促进人们对肾脏的兴趣， 在妇女和代表性不足的少数群体中进行的泌尿学和血液学疾病研究。 具体目标3是增加博士和医学博士/博士项目的本科生入学人数 擅长肾病学、泌尿学或血液学研究。

Project Summary/Abstract The Summer Undergraduate Program in Emory Renal Research (SUPERR) will promote an appreciation for the study of kidney, urology, and hematologic (KUH) diseases among undergraduate students who are interested in furthering their scientific research and could be encouraged to pursue a career in biomedical scientific research. Early exposure of undergraduate researchers to these exciting areas of study will give promising students first hand experience in laboratory methods to answer questions that directly affect human health and disease. Our goal is to foster sustained interest in KUH diseases, thereby increasing the number of students applying to PhD and MD/PhD programs, and increasing the cadre of scientists in the biomedical workforce studying these topics in the future. SUPERR will expose undergraduate students to current questions in KUH diseases that are being investigated by NIDDK supported investigators at Emory University. Following a national recruitment, selected students will participate in a 12-week didactic and laboratory-based experiential program on our Atlanta campus to advance their knowledge of nephrology, urology, and hematology research through laboratory experimentation, clinical research, career development activities, responsible conduct in research training, and opportunities to present and share their research. Specific targeted skills will include data acquisition, analysis and interpretation, and scientific presentation. The culmination of the 12-week training will be participation at the NIDDK sponsored Summer Student Research Symposium in Bethesda. Our overall objective is to train the next generation of scientists and physician-scientists in nephrology, urology, or hematology research. Specific Aim 1 is to establish an undergraduate program that garners interest in kidney, urology, and hematologic diseases. Specific Aim 2 is to promote interest in kidney, urology, and hematology disease research among women and underrepresented minorities. Specific Aim 3 is to increase undergraduate enrollment into PhD and MD/PhD programs that excel in nephrology, urology, or hematology research.
