DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an application for continuation of the postdoctoral training program in nephrology research at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. The program provides research training for adult and pediatric nephrology fellows as well as basic scientists who are conducting research related to the kidney. The primary purpose of the program remains the training of physician-scientists who will investigate kidney biology and disease and translate this knowledge into improvements in patient care. The training program has been continuously funded for the past 30 years. The applicant pool is robust, and the program has filled in each year of the match. The graduates from the program have published important contributions to biomedical research, and many have obtained faculty positions and received external funding for their research. The program faculty comprises 21 physician-scientists and basic scientists with expertise in a broad range of scientific disciplines that are relevant to the kidney. The training program is organized into three programs in basic science research (Renal Physiology & Cell Biology, Pathophysiology of Renal Disease, and Genetics & Development) and three programs in patient-oriented research (Chronic Kidney Disease, Hypertension & Cardiovascular Disease, and Mineral Metabolism). Each program includes clinical and basic science faculty and a formal didactic curriculum that includes required courses in ethics and the responsible conduct of research. The curriculum for basic science research also includes special topics in career development, a journal club, and elective courses at the Southwestern Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. The curriculum for patient- oriented research consists of a certification program in patient-oriented research and a Masters Degree in Clinical Science. Trainees in the program also benefit from the Educational Enrichment Program provided by the UT Southwestern George M. O'Brien Kidney Research Core Center, which includes a biweekly research conference, annual symposium, and hands-on instruction in mouse models, small animal physiology, cell biology and pathology, and clinical and translational research.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一份继续在德克萨斯大学西南医学中心进行肾脏病学研究博士后培训计划的申请。该计划为成人和儿科肾脏学研究员以及正在进行肾脏相关研究的基础科学家提供研究培训。该计划的主要目的仍然是培训医生科学家，他们将研究肾脏生物学和疾病，并将这些知识转化为患者护理的改善。在过去的30年里，培训方案一直得到资助。申请人池是强大的，该计划已填补了每年的比赛。该计划的毕业生已经发表了对生物医学研究的重要贡献，许多人已经获得了教师职位，并获得了他们的研究外部资金。该计划的教师包括21名物理学家，科学家和基础科学家，他们在广泛的科学学科中具有专业知识 与肾脏有关的疾病该培训计划分为三个基础科学研究项目（肾脏生理学和细胞生物学，肾脏疾病病理生理学和遗传学与发育）和三个以患者为导向的研究项目（慢性肾脏疾病，高血压和心血管疾病和矿物质代谢）。每个项目都包括临床和基础科学教师以及正式的教学课程，其中包括道德和负责任的研究行为的必修课程。基础科学研究的课程还包括职业发展的专题，期刊俱乐部和西南生物医学研究生院的选修课程。面向患者的研究课程包括面向患者的研究认证课程和临床科学硕士学位。该计划的学员还受益于UT西南乔治M。奥布莱恩肾脏研究核心中心，其中包括一个双周的研究会议，年度研讨会，并在小鼠模型，小动物生理学，细胞生物学和病理学，临床和转化研究的实践指导。
