DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Diabetes is a disease of enormous health significance in the US and is also the most common cause of kidney disease. The NIDDK plays a crucial role in efforts to better understand and treat these diseases by fostering and supporting innovative basic and applied research projects. However, converging lines of evidence indicate that NIDDK's future success will be limited by the paucity of students entering careers in biomedical research. This five-year project is a component of our long-term goal of stimulating US students to consider careers in science. The objectives of this project are to create and rigorously evaluate curricular materials that utilize an innovative combination of high quality 3-D animations and videogame engine technologies to engage students in the pathophysiology of kidney disease and the research models used to study the renal effects of diabetes. In this project, we will develop scaffolded, inquiry-based curricular materials that will engage today's technology-savvy undergraduate students, cultivate scientific habits of mind, and encourage students to consider careers in biomedical research. The inquiry-based learning activities created in this project will expose students to the processes that underlie normal renal function and the changes that occur as the result of diabetes, particularly those that result in the development of systemic hypertension and kidney failure. The opportunities for students to explore the fundamental aspects of kidney function in health and diabetes will be further enhanced by the creation of two interactive case studies. The case studies that will be developed and evaluated in this project include a clinical case study highlighting the clinical effects of diabetes-induced kidney disease, and a research case study in which the students will simulate experimental models of diabetes. These case studies will be designed to promote the development of the habits of mind that characterize scientists, namely making observations, developing and testing hypotheses, collecting, analyzing and interpreting data, and drawing conclusions. The integrative curricular materials and interactive case studies will be rigorously evaluated to assess their impact on student achievement and interest in biomedical research as a possible career. In doing so, we will contribute to NIDDK's core mission by improving student understanding of these disease processes and encouraging students to consider careers in disease-oriented biomedical research.

描述（由申请人提供）：糖尿病在美国是一种对健康具有重大意义的疾病，也是肾脏疾病的最常见原因。 NIDDK 通过促进和支持，在更好地理解和治疗这些疾病方面发挥着至关重要的作用 创新基础和应用研究项目。然而，越来越多的证据表明，NIDDK 未来的成功将因进入生物医学研究领域的学生很少而受到限制。这个为期五年的项目是我们激励美国学生考虑从事科学事业的长期目标的一部分。该项目的目标是创建并严格评估利用高质量 3-D 创新组合的课程材料 动画和视频游戏引擎技术让学生参与肾脏疾病的病理生理学以及用于研究糖尿病肾脏影响的研究模型。在这个项目中，我们将开发基于探究的支架式课程材料，吸引当今精通技术的本科生，培养科学思维习惯，并鼓励学生考虑从事生物医学研究。该项目中创建的基于探究的学习活动将使学生了解正常肾功能的过程以及糖尿病引起的变化，特别是那些导致全身性高血压和肾衰竭的变化。通过创建两个互动案例研究，将进一步增加学生探索健康和糖尿病中肾功能基本方面的机会。该项目将开发和评估的案例研究包括强调糖尿病引起的肾脏疾病的临床影响的临床案例研究，以及学生将模拟糖尿病实验模型的研究案例研究。这些案例研究旨在促进科学家特有的思维习惯的发展，即进行观察、发展和检验假设、收集、分析和解释数据以及得出结论。综合课程材料和互动案例研究将经过严格评估，以评估它们对学生成绩和对生物医学研究作为可能职业的兴趣的影响。在此过程中，我们将通过提高学生对这些疾病过程的理解并鼓励学生考虑从事以疾病为导向的生物医学研究来为 NIDDK 的核心使命做出贡献。
