The University of Pittsburgh Summer Research Internship Program kidney workshop (SRIP-Kid)

摘要 慢性肾脏疾病(CKD)影响了3000多万美国人，导致了估计的年度医疗费用 400亿美元。此外，慢性肾脏病的治疗方法很少，对于END患者只有姑息治疗。 肾脏疾病(ESRD)阶段，即透析或肾移植。此外，还有大量未得到满足的需求。 培训下一代以肾脏为基础的研究人员，以开发新的有效治疗方法和治疗方法 无数的肾脏疾病。匹兹堡大学医学院有许多来自各地的研究人员 拥有美国国立卫生研究院资助的肾脏研究记录的多个部门，范围从实验室到 以病人为中心的研究。这些调查人员在指导方面有着良好的记录。我们要求 为聪明的本科生提供食宿和津贴的资金，这些本科生将与导师合作研究基于肾脏的 研究。该项目将允许学生在夏季进行为期10周的研究，作为 暑期研究实习项目肾脏工作坊(SRIP-Kid)。不同种类的本科生将 来自全国各地的多所大学。该计划将由以下部门管理 儿童肾脏病，将包括成人肾脏电解质儿科肾脏病科的教员 科室和重症监护肾病科。该计划的主要目标将通过提供 为学员提供有关肾脏主题和职业建议的新颖教学方法。精选的培训教员将与 每周，所有学生提供一个小时的肾脏主题教学课程，然后是30分钟 讨论一篇相关的论文，并讨论作为一名肾病研究人员的职业选择。此外， 我们将在世界一流的肾脏研究人员的指导下提供研究培训。一个多媒体平台 是专门为这个项目开发的，将作为未来、现在和过去的学生的接口。 SRIP-Kid的学生将与一名培训教师进行匹配，以进行一项研究项目。考虑到广度， 在培训教师的研究兴趣中，学生将有机会从事以实验室为基础的项目。 或者是以病人为中心的研究项目。在10周结束时，学生将以口头形式报告他们的工作 演示文稿。在完成这个暑期计划后，学生们将接触到各种各样的 以肾脏为基础的研究主题，授予全国受尊敬的临床医生科学家和博士科学家，以及特定的 基于肾脏的研究项目。考虑到关于医学专业和/或研究重点的决定通常 发生在培训的早期阶段，该计划的目的是增加受训人员的数量， 最终成为肾脏科的临床科学家或博士科学家。我们将监控这名学生未来的职业生涯 通过社交媒体平台做出与这个暑期项目相关的决定。

Abstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects over 30 million Americans leading to estimated annual health care costs of $40 billion. Moreover, there are few therapies for CKD and only palliative treatments for patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), namely dialysis or kidney transplantation. In addition, there is large unmet need to train the next generation of kidney-based researchers to develop new and effective treatments and cures for the myriad of kidney diseases. The University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine has many investigators across multiple departments with NIH funded track records of kidney-based research ranging from laboratory based to patient oriented research. These same investigators have strong track records of mentoring. We are requesting funds to provide room, board and a stipend to bright undergraduates that will work with mentors on kidney-based research. This program will allow students to perform research for a 10-week period over the summer as part of the Summer Research Internship Program kidney workshop (SRIP-Kid). The pool of diverse undergraduates will come from a wide range of Universities around the country. This program will be administered by the Division of Pediatric Nephrology and will include faculty from the Pediatric Nephrology Division, Adult Renal-Electrolyte Division, and Critical Care Nephrology Department. The major goals of this program will be achieved by providing novel didactics on renal topics and career advice to participants. Select members of the training faculty will meet weekly with all students to provide a one-hour didactic session on a renal topic followed by a 30-minute discussion on a pertinent paper and a discussion about career options as a nephrology researcher. Furthermore, we will provide research training under the mentorship of world-class kidney researchers. A multimedia platform has been developed specifically for this program and will act as an interface for future, current and past students. SRIP-Kid students will be matched with one of the training faculty to pursue a research project. Given the breadth of the training faculty research interests, students will have the opportunity to work on a laboratory-based project or a patient oriented research project. At the end of the 10 weeks, the students will present their work as an oral presentation. Upon completion of this summer program the students will have had exposure to a wide array of kidney-based research topics, to nationally respected clinician-scientists and PhD scientists, and to a specific kidney-based research project. Given that decisions about a specialty in medicine and/or research focus often happen in early stages of training, the intent of this program is to increase the number of trainees that will eventually become clinician-scientists or PhD scientists in nephrology. We will monitor the student’s future career decisions through social media platforms related to this summer program.
