Cleveland Kidney, Urology and Hematology Training Network

为了改善人类健康，学生必须从科学培训中获得技能，这将使他们能够有效、高效和经济地解决未得到满足的健康需求。他们的成功取决于他们在跨学科小组和联盟中工作的能力，理解从实验室到临床和公共卫生科学的各种概念的能力，以及在临床和社区环境中实施进展的能力。NIDDK的肾脏、泌尿和血液科(KUH)向其社区提出了挑战，要求重新设计其研究培训计划，以满足这些需求。作为回应，克利夫兰肾脏、泌尿外科和血液学培训网络(KUH-TN)将确定有前途的医学和博士博士后和博士后研究员，并为他们提供智力和方法学工具，以加快肾脏、泌尿外科和血液系统疾病的发现和转换，从而在一个嵌入 良师益友、同辈和近乎同辈的学习者。克利夫兰库赫-TN拥有两所大学--凯斯西储大学和克利夫兰州立大学以及四个附属学术健康中心--的科学专业知识、基础设施、支持服务和项目。此外，KUH-TN还得到了克利夫兰翻译科学合作组织的大力支持。为完成我们的使命，满足现代科研培训的需要，我们提出了以下具体目标： 1.创建一个培训核心(TL1)，通过确定跨越K-U-和H-竖井的主题来拥抱跨学科学习，使用动手项目、教学论和同行互动执行研究密集型培训，以发展领域能力，为Kun-TN学员的职业成功做好准备。 2.建立专业发展核心，通过确保受训人员掌握最先进的科学研究的基本技能，提高受训人员在研究方面的竞争力。学习机会将发生在课堂上，并通过面对面和虚拟平台的非正式同行互动来实现。这一核心将通过向导师提供最佳实践方面的培训，进一步支持学员获得领域能力。 3.实施网络核心，利用面对面和虚拟平台以及包括受训者、他们的同事和培训教师在内的社交活动来发展KUH-TN社区，并实施面向本科生和高中的外联计划，以增加未来KUH-TN的候选者人才库。这项计划建立在现有的成功伙伴关系的基础上，这些伙伴关系吸引了代表人数不足的群体。 KUH-TN将由行政核心管理，该核心负责监督计划的组织、管理、合作、沟通以及评估和持续改进。 总之，我们相信，我们优秀的培训人员、广泛的研究项目选择和强大的指导能力，使我们建议的KUH-TN对最佳申请者具有吸引力，使其能够在一个多学科的学习者社区进行培训，这带来了创新的方法来应对KUH研究培训的挑战。 为了改善人类健康，学生必须从科学培训中获得技能，这将使他们能够有效、高效和经济地解决未得到满足的健康需求。为了满足这些需求，克利夫兰肾脏、泌尿外科和血液学培训网络将为未来的科学家提供现代培训，以解决对患有肾脏、良性尿路和良性血液疾病的人至关重要的结果，并治愈这些疾病。

To improve human health, students must emerge from their scientific training with skills, which will enable them to address unmet health needs with effectiveness, efficiency and economy. Their success depends on their ability to work in interdisciplinary groups and consortia, to understand concepts across the spectrum of laboratory to clinical and public health sciences, and to implement advances in clinical and community settings. The Kidney, Urology and Hematology (KUH) Division of NIDDK has challenged its community to redesign its research training programs to meet these needs. In response, the Cleveland Kidney, Urology and Hematology Training Network (KUH-TN) will identify promising MD and PhD predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows and to provide them with the intellectual and methodological tools to accelerate discovery and its translation for treatment and cure of kidney, urologic and hematologic diseases within an interdisciplinary environment embedded in an ecosystem of mentorship and peer and near-peer learners. The Cleveland KUH-TN has access to the scientific expertise, infrastructure, support services and programs at two universities, Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland State University and four affiliated academic health centers. In addition, the KUH-TN has strong support from the Cleveland Translational Sciences Collaborative. To accomplish our mission and address the needs of modern scientific research training, we propose the following specific aims: 1. Create a Training Core (TL1) that embraces interdisciplinary learning by identifying themes that cross K-U-, and H-silos, executes research-intensive training using hand-on project, didactics and peer interactions to develop domain competence the prepares KUN-TN trainees for career success. 2. Develop a Professional Development Core that enhances trainee competitiveness in research by ensuring trainees acquire foundational skills for state-of-the-art scientific inquiry. Learning opportunities will happen in the classroom and by informal peer interactions using in person and virtual platforms. This core will further support trainee acquisition of domain competence by providing training to mentors in best practices. 3. Implement a Networking Core to develop a KUH-TN community using in-person and virtual platforms and social events that includes trainees, their peers, and the training faculty and an outreach program to undergraduates and high schools to increase the future KUH-TN candidate pool. This program builds on existing successful partnerships, which engage underrepresented groups. The KUH-TN will be managed by the Administrative Core, which oversees program organization, governance, collaboration, communication, as well as evaluation and continuous improvement. In summary, we believe our outstanding training faculty, broad choice of research projects and strong mentoring make our proposed KUH-TN attractive for the best applicants to pursue training in a multidisciplinary community of learners, which bring innovative approaches to address the challenges of KUH research training. To improve human health, students must emerge from their scientific training with skills, which will enable them to address unmet health needs with effectiveness, efficiency and economy. To meet these needs, the Cleveland Kidney, Urology and Hematology Training Network will provide modern training for future scientists to address outcomes important to people with kidney, benign urinary and benign blood conditions and cure these diseases.
