DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Harvard Summer Research Program in Kidney Medicine is designed to introduce talented undergraduate students to the rich and exciting world of kidney research. The core feature of the proposed program is an intensive research experience under the guidance of experienced and committed investigators from the Harvard Medical School faculty. The research activities may be bench science or clinical research. Projects will be based at one of four major Harvard affiliated research institutions: Brigham and Women's Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Massachusetts General Hospital and Boston's Children's Hospital. Participation of each site will be facilitated by "site miners", key research faculty at that institution who will help match students with research opportunities. The Nephrology Division chiefs will ensure institutional commitment and support. Each site has committed to taking at least 4 students per summer. Students will also participate in a core curriculum that will include two central components: 1) an introduction to the principles of renal physiology and basic mechanisms of disease and how disease affects real patients; 2) training in evaluation of individuals for chronic kidney disease and an opportunity to participate in a community screening effort, sponsored by our Kidney Disease Screening and Awareness Program. An additional goal of the core curriculum is to promote student interest and confidence to pursue a career in the sciences. Students will receive training in fundamental aspects of experimental design and implementation. Social activities will complement formal aspects of the Program to enhance students' understanding of the community of research and the joy of discovery. Individual preceptors at each institution will help students to prepare for local presentations of their research. Students will also participate in the signature science symposium that is planned by the NIDDK in Bethesda, MD, to culminate this intensive experience. The program leadership will consist of a Director and two Associate Directors, each of whom has had significant experience in guiding the careers of many trainees at various stages of development, including college undergraduate students. Both internal and external oversight committees have been constructed to optimize the effectiveness of the Program, optimize matching of students to research mentor and advise and mentor students on career choices. In addition, an assessment component has been devised to determine the Program's immediate and subsequent impact on the participants' careers and to facilitate improvement of the Program each year. With this range of activities in place, we hope to instill in the students a lifetime focus on scholarly activities and an interest in the kidney.

描述（由申请人提供）：哈佛肾脏医学暑期研究项目旨在向有才华的本科生介绍肾脏研究的丰富和令人兴奋的世界。该计划的核心特点是在哈佛医学院教师经验丰富和忠诚的调查人员的指导下进行深入的研究。研究活动可以是实验室科学或临床研究。项目将设在四个主要的哈佛附属研究机构之一：布里格姆妇女医院，贝丝以色列女执事医疗中心，马萨诸塞州总医院和波士顿儿童医院。每个地点的参与将由“地点矿工”提供便利，他们是该机构的主要研究人员，将帮助学生找到研究机会。肾脏科主任将确保机构承诺和支持。每个站点都承诺每年夏天至少招收4名学生。 学生还将参加一个核心课程，其中包括两个核心组成部分：1）介绍肾脏生理学和疾病的基本机制的原则，以及疾病如何影响真实的患者; 2）在个人慢性肾脏疾病的评估培训和机会，参加社区筛查工作，由我们的肾脏疾病筛查和宣传计划赞助。核心课程的另一个目标是促进学生的兴趣和信心，追求科学事业。学生将接受实验设计和实施的基本方面的培训。社会活动将补充该计划的正式方面，以提高学生对研究社区的理解和发现的乐趣。每个机构的个别导师将帮助学生准备他们的研究在当地的介绍。学生们还将参加由NIDDK在马里兰州贝塞斯达计划的签名科学研讨会，以达到这一密集的经验。 该计划的领导将包括一名主任和两名副主任，他们每个人都有指导许多学员在不同的发展阶段，包括大学本科生的职业生涯显着的经验。内部和外部监督委员会已经成立，以优化该方案的有效性，优化学生与研究导师的匹配，并就职业选择向学生提供咨询和指导。此外，还设计了一个评估部分，以确定该方案对参与者职业的直接和后续影响，并促进每年改进该方案。通过这些活动，我们希望向学生灌输一个 一生专注于学术活动和对肾脏的兴趣。
