Mayo Clinic Nephrology & Urology Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (nuSURF)

摘要：梅奥诊所肾病学和泌尿学暑期本科生研究奖学金 (nuSURF) 梅奥诊所在肾脏病学和临床科学研究方面拥有丰富的历史 泌尿外科，并拥有活跃的博士、医学博士和医学博士-博士培训项目。每年，梅奥研究生院 收到超过 1200 份来自本科生的与梅奥诊所研究人员合作的申请。梅奥诊所是 奥布莱恩泌尿学研究中心和梅奥转化性多囊肾病中心的所在地 （公钥簿）中心。两个梅奥中心都是美国国立卫生研究院 (NIH) 资助的四个中心之一。在过去的几年里， 两个中心都获得了补充资金，以支持与肾脏相关的夏季本科生研究 分别是结石和 PKD。该提案（更新）响应 RFA-DK-18-006 (R25)，合并了这些 三个成功的暑期本科课程（约 115 名学生）进入更广泛的梅奥诊所 肾病学和泌尿学暑期本科生研究奖学金（nuSURF）。梅奥学院的几位学生 项目已进入博士、医学博士或医学博士-博士项目，或与人合着肾病学或泌尿学方向 同行评审的论文。 在接下来的 5 年里，我们提议通过 nuSURF 资助 14 名学生/暑期（总共 70 名学生） 专门与从事肾病学和泌尿学基础或转化研究的梅奥研究人员合作。 这 5 年期间将允许该项目的本科生进行创新的肾病学和泌尿学研究 与领先的梅奥诊所研究实验室进行研究。学生还将参加各种教育活动 计划（例如每周研讨会和迷你课程）以增强他们的研究经验。他们的10周 暑期体验将通过 (1) 10 分钟的口头展示其工作成果、(2) 梅奥范围内的活动达到高潮 夏季本科生海报展示（> 120 名学生/年）和 (3) NIDDK-KUH 夏季本科生 研究研讨会每年夏末在 R25 资助的中心之一举行。继 暑期项目，将对学生进行学术跟踪，以确定 Mayo nuSURF 的有效性 在肾病学和泌尿学、基础研究和临床医学方面拥有丰富的经验。我们的目标是增加数量 基础和临床肾病学和泌尿学研究人员的这次 nuSURF 培训经验的结果。

Abstract: Mayo Clinic Nephrology & Urology Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (nuSURF) The Mayo Clinic has a rich history in both basic science and clinic science research in Nephrology & Urology, and has active PhD, MD and MD-PhD training programs. Annually, the Mayo Graduate School receives >1200 applications from Undergraduates to work with Mayo Clinic Investigators. The Mayo Clinic is home to both an O’Brien Urology Research Center as well as a Mayo Translational Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) Center. Both Mayo Centers are one of four NIH funded Centers in the US. For the past several years, both Centers have received supplemental funds to support summer undergraduate research related to kidney stones and PKD, respectively. This proposal (renewal), in response to RFA-DK-18-006 (R25) merges these three successful summer undergraduate programs (~115 students) into a more generalized Mayo Clinic Nephrology & Urology Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (nuSURF). Several students from Mayo’s programs have entered PhD, MD, or MD-PhD programs, or have co-authored Nephrology or Urology-oriented peer-reviewed papers. Over the next 5 years, we proposed to fund 14 students/summer (70 students total) through nuSURF to work specifically with Mayo Investigators engaged in basic or translational research in Nephrology & Urology. This 5 year period will allow undergraduates in the program to perform innovative Nephrology & Urology research with leading Mayo Clinic research laboratories. Students will also participate in various educational programs (e.g., weekly seminars and mini-courses) to enhance their research experience. Their 10-week summer experience will culminate with (1) a 10-minute oral presentation of their work, (2) a Mayo-wide Summer Undergraduate poster presentation (> 120 student/yr) and (3) a NIDDK-KUH Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium held annually at the end of the Summer at one of the funded R25-centers. Following the Summer Program, students will be academically tracked to determine the effectiveness of the Mayo nuSURF experience in Nephrology & Urology, basic research and clinical medicine. Our goal is to increase the number of basic and clinical Nephrology & Urology researchers as a result of this nuSURF training experience.
