Summer Program in Undergraduate Urology Research (SPUUR)

项目总结 2016年，我们发起了威斯康星大学(UW)-麦迪逊大学泌尿外科本科生暑期项目 研究(SPUUR)以吸引和留住有抱负的科学家进入该领域。由我们的乔治·M·奥布莱恩支持 良性泌尿外科研究中心，以及包括NIDDK多学科泌尿外科研究在内的优秀导师 (Kure)职业发展计划(K12)获奖者，我们培训了28名学者。一半的学者是合著者 至少有两篇手稿，所有人都留在了与研究相关的职位上，或者加入了高级学位课程。 我们只从威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校招聘，现在寻求将学者招聘扩大到整个美国。我们 每个暑假将支持10名学生。我们将使用经过验证的主动学习模块向学者介绍 从医学和公共卫生学院、药学学院、 护理与兽医专业。我们相信，良性泌尿外科的员工队伍因多样化而得到加强 透视。我们将采用最佳做法，从历来任职人数偏低的人员中招募参与者 社区。我们的多元化招聘努力是有效的，迄今为止培训的SPUUR学者更加多样化 比他们被录取的威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的本科生人数还要多。我们决心推动 我们的学者参加了高级临床和基础泌尿外科研究培训计划。我们将利用独一无二的 UW-Madison资源，全国唯一的U24泌尿外科中心互动核心，发起专业网络 全国各地泌尿外科中心的学者和教师之间的联系，并为进入高级学位提供便利 程序。从历史上看，大多数NIDDK-KUH赞助的R25项目都有肾脏或血液学焦点。 下尿路的代表性不足，因此仍未被未来的生物医学所重视。 研究学者。我们的计划将通过集中关注下尿路来填补这一空白。学生们将 参与精心设计的课程，以培养批判性思维，提出研究问题，进行 负责任地进行研究，与其他暑期本科生项目的同龄人建立虚拟网络，了解 研究生院申请流程，与现有研究生和校园组织互动 (特别是那些代表有色人种学生和其他代表性不足的社区的学生)，并获得- 来自在培养生物医学研究学者方面经验丰富的导师的一对一建议。我们的独特之处在于 下尿路，我们严格和循证的计划，招收代表不足的学生，我们的上级 教师合作伙伴，我们在暑期本科研究项目中的成熟经验，我们以学习者为中心 培训和教育方法，以及华盛顿大学麦迪逊分校无与伦比的环境和资源预示着 我们节目的成功。

PROJECT SUMMARY In 2016, we initiated the University of Wisconsin (UW)-Madison Summer Program in Undergraduate Urology Research (SPUUR) to attract and retain aspiring scientists into the field. Supported by our George M. O'Brien Center in benign urology research, and excellent mentors including NIDDK Multidisciplinary Urologic Research (KURe) Career Development Program (K12) awardees, we trained 28 scholars. Half the scholars co-authored at least two manuscripts and all remained in research-related positions or joined advanced degree programs. We recruited exclusively from UW-Madison and now seek to expand scholar recruitment to the entire US. We will support 10 students per summer. We will use proven active learning modules to introduce scholars to research and clinical challenges from perspectives of the Schools of Medicine and Public Health, Pharmacy, Nursing and Veterinary Medicine. We believe the benign urology workforce is strengthened by diverse perspectives. We will apply best practices in recruiting participants from traditionally underrepresented communities. Our diversity recruitment efforts are effective and SPUUR scholars trained to date are more diverse than the UW-Madison undergraduate population from which they were recruited. We are determined to propel our scholars into advanced clinical and basic urologic research training programs. We will leverage a unique UW-Madison resource, the nation's only U24 Urology Centers Interaction Core, to initiate professional networks between scholars and faculty at urology centers throughout the country and facilitate entry into advanced degree programs. Historically, most NIDDK-KUH-sponsored R25 Programs have had a kidney or hematologic focus. The lower urinary tract is underrepresented and thus remains under-appreciated by prospective biomedical research scholars. Our program will fill the void by intensively focusing on the lower urinary tract. Students will engage in a carefully constructed curriculum to cultivate critical thinking, develop research questions, conduct research responsibly, network virtually with peers from other summer undergraduate programs, learn about the graduate school application process, interact with current graduate students and campus organizations (particularly those representing students of color and other underrepresented communities), and receive one- on-one advising from mentors experienced in developing biomedical research scholars. Our unique focus on the lower urinary tract, our rigorous and evidence-based plan to recruit underrepresented students, our superior faculty partners, our proven experience in summer undergraduate research programs, our learner-centered training and educational approach, and the unparalleled UW-Madison environment and resources portend the success of our program.
