 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Urologic disease causes significant morbidity and lost quality of life to millions in the U.S., and these problems will only grow more burdensome to the healthcare system in our aging population. At the same time, advances in biology and medicine offer new opportunities to understand mechanisms of urologic disease and develop novel therapies for patients - promise that can only be realized through research. The goal of this training program is to cultivate and maintain the ranks of future leaders in urological research. Building upon a history of successfully training leaders in urology, the proposed training program offers opportunities to promising, young basic and clinician scientists to engage in urologic research by supporting predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows in a structured training program. Fellows will be selected from among highly qualified predoctoral candidates identified within Northwestern Ph.D. programs and solicited postdoctoral candidates, always working to attract and support candidates that fulfill Northwestern's goal of enhancing diversity. Fellows wil select from a distinguished, interdisciplinary panel of successful preceptors and enter into a rigorous training program that complements advanced scientific training with careful instruction in research integrity and fostering individual development. Two predoctoral and two postdoctoral candidates will be selected and appointed for a two year training period each year of the award. Committees internal and external to the program will oversee trainee selection and progress, thus insuring fellows take full advantage of the rich, supportive environment and emerge as leaders in urology.

 描述(申请人提供)：在美国，泌尿系疾病会导致数百万人的发病率和生活质量下降，这些问题只会给我们老龄化人口的医疗保健系统带来更大的负担。与此同时，生物学和医学的进步为了解泌尿系统疾病的机制和为患者开发新的治疗方法提供了新的机会-只有通过研究才能实现这一承诺。该培训项目的目标是培养和保持未来泌尿外科研究的领导者队伍。在成功培训泌尿外科领导者的历史基础上，拟议的培训计划通过支持结构化培训计划中的博士后和博士后研究员，为有前途的年轻基础和临床科学家提供从事泌尿外科研究的机会。研究员将从西北大学博士项目和征集的博士后候选人中挑选出高素质的博士后候选人，始终致力于吸引和支持实现西北大学增强多样性目标的候选人。研究员将从一个杰出的、跨学科的成功导师小组中挑选出来，并参加一个严格的培训计划，该计划与先进的科学培训相辅相成，在研究诚信和促进个人发展方面进行认真的指导。每年将选出两名博士后候选人和两名博士后候选人，为期两年的培训。该项目内部和外部的委员会将监督学员的选择和进展，从而确保学员充分利用丰富的、支持性的环境，并成为泌尿外科领域的领导者。
