Enrichment and Training Program

丰富组件的总体目标是：1）促进以下人员之间的协作互动： 中心成员，2）提高UAB-UCSD的概念，技术和方法专业知识 研究人员，3）刺激新的，创新的项目，强调潜在的翻译， 临床研究，以及4）促进对肾脏感兴趣的下一代研究人员的培训- 相关研究。 具体目标是：（一）促进中心成员之间的互动;（二）加强 对临床肾脏病学和肾脏研究事业感兴趣的学生的管道;（iii）发展肾脏 学员和初级调查员利用一系列培训模式的科学专门知识，特别是 为对肾脏相关疾病感兴趣的医学生提供暑期学生培训计划（SSTP） （四）与现有的培训赠款方案协同工作，以改善环境， （五）培养掌握可复制科学的艺术，以保持严谨性，可复制性和可复制性。 （六）利用机构资金和UAB和UCSD的现有基础设施， 在UAB和UCSD举办全校范围的每月奥布莱恩中心讲座系列，并提供现场视频演示，以及 通过共同赞助演讲者，在由其他人举办的研讨会系列中介绍原创肾脏相关研究， （七）主办有针对性的研讨会和会议，包括年度会议; 综合性奥布莱恩中心研讨会和阿基/PKD肾脏研讨会;（viii）提供新的 方法开发、技术获取和开发新的调查路线， 赞助微型和微型休假; ㈨利用基于网络的界面促进交流， 传播信息。 在当前的供资周期中，中心成员之间的互动得到了加强， 合作已经取得成果，创新的培训模式已经实现， 由于传播了新的科学家获得的既定方法， investigators. 48名学员得到了SSTP的支持，学员发表了32篇论文。的对培训的评估 浓缩活动都很突出。这些努力增强了阿基研究领域 通过中心成员的努力增加出版物，并通过中心获得新的资金， 成员在本建议中，这些努力将通过使用一个动态和综合的 丰富计划，为所有职业水平和整个范围的调查人员提供资源 解释方法。

The overall goals of the enrichment component are to 1) catalyze collaborative interactions among Center members, 2) enhance the conceptual, technical, and methodological expertise of UAB-UCSD investigators, 3) spur the development of new, innovative projects that emphasize potential translation to clinical studies, and 4) facilitate the training of the next generation of investigators interested in kidney- related research. The specific aims are to: (i) Facilitate interactions between Center members; (ii) Enhance the pipeline of students interested in careers in clinical nephrology and renal research; (iii) Develop the renal scientific expertise of trainees and junior investigators utilizing a portfolio of training modalities, in particular, maintain a Summer Students Training Program (SSTP) for Medical students interested in kidney-related research; (iv) Work synergistically with existing training grant programs to enhance the environment for these trainees; (v) Foster mastering the art of reproducible science to maintain rigor, reproducibility and transparency; (vi) Leverage institutional funds and existing infrastructure at UAB and UCSD, by conducting a campus-wide monthly O’Brien Center Lecture Series with live video-presentations at UAB and UCSD, and by co-sponsoring speakers presenting original kidney-related research in seminar series’ run by other departments and centers; (vii) Sponsor targeted symposia and conferences, including the Annual Comprehensive O’Brien Center Symposium and the AKI/PKD Renal Symposium; (viii) Provide for new methods development, technology acquisition, and development of novel lines of investigation by sponsoring nano- and micro-sabbaticals; (ix) Utilize a web-based interface to facilitate communication and dissemination of information. In the current funding cycle interactions between Center members have been amplified, new collaborations have come to fruition, innovative training modalities have been realized and novel research questions have been achievable due to dissemination of established methodologies acquired by new investigators. 48 trainees were supported by the SSTP and trainees published 32 papers. Evaluations for the enrichment activities were uniformly outstanding. These efforts have enhanced the field of AKI research by increased publications deriving from Center members’ efforts and by acquisition of new funding by Center members. In this proposal, these efforts will continue to mature through the use of a dynamic and integrated enrichment program providing resources to investigators at all career levels and across the spectrum of investigatory approaches.
