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满足的健康需求。他们的成功取决于他们在跨学科团体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领域的概念，以及在临床和社区环境中实现进步的能力。 NIDDK 的肾脏、泌尿和血液学 (KUH) 部门要求其社区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、泌尿和血液学培训网络（KUH-TN）将物色有前途的医学博士和博士博士前和博士后研究员，并为他们提供知识和方法工具，以在嵌入肾脏、泌尿和血液疾病生态系统的跨学科环境中加速发现及其转化，以治疗和治愈肾脏、泌尿和血液疾病。 指导以及同伴和近同伴学习者。克利夫兰 KUH-TN 可以利用两所大学（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 还得到了克利夫兰转化科学合作组织的大力支持。为完成我们的使命并满足现代科学研究培训的需求，我们提出以下具体目标： 1. 创建一个培训核心 (TL1)，通过确定跨 K-U- 和 H-筒仓的主题来拥抱跨学科学习，利用实践项目、教学和同伴互动来执行研究密集型培训，以发展领域能力，为 KUN-TN 学员取得职业成功做好准备。 2. 开发专业发展核心，确保学员获得最先进的科学探究的基础技能，从而提高学员的研究竞争力。学习机会将在课堂上以及使用面对面和虚拟平台的非正式同伴互动中进行。该核心将通过向导师提供最佳实践培训，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社交活动来开发 KUH-TN 社区，其中包括受训者、他们的同伴、培训教师以及针对本科生和高中的外展计划，以增加未来的 KUH-TN 候选人库。该计划建立在现有成功合作伙伴关系的基础上，吸引了代表性不足的群体。 KUH-TN 将由行政核心管理，负责监督项目组织、治理、协作、沟通以及评估和持续改进。 总之，我们相信我们出色的培训师资队伍、广泛的研究项目选择和强有力的指导使我们提出的 KUH-TN 对最优秀的申请者具有吸引力，让他们能够在多学科学习者社区中接受培训，从而带来创新的方法来应对 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满足的健康需求。为了满足这些需求，克利夫兰肾脏、泌尿和血液学培训网络将为未来的科学家提供现代培训，以解决对肾脏、良性泌尿和良性血液疾病患者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.
