Research Training in Renal Disease

项目摘要/摘要 华盛顿大学(UW)肾脏研究培训计划部门培训MD和 博士科学家在肾脏疾病和相关疾病方面进行临床相关研究。在这 竞争续签申请，我们要求每年4个培训职位，以支持2-4名学员，作为 3-4年医学博士-科学家临床和研究相结合的课程，2-3年的博士课程 科学家。来自几个学校、系和部门的40名培训人员提供了一系列 生物医学培训，包括基础、临床和转化科学，以实现我们的目标 全面培养和培养医学博士、博士、博士后自主创业 有肾脏疾病及相关课题研究经验的院士。我们的使命是培训基础、临床 以及从事肾脏相关研究的翻译科学家，这样他们将处于成功的理想地位 竞争导师资助，并最终过渡到研究独立。我们的目标包括提供 具有前沿机会的实习生，可获得基本、临床或临床应用技能 翻译肾脏研究，支持临床科学家通过正规研究生的教育培训- 水平教育，通过以下方式促进跨多学科的临床医生和科学家之间的相互对话 研究，促进从实习生身份到指导(早期)调查员到独立研究员的转变， 并对代表性不足的少数民族进行培训，既加强医学多样性，又确保广泛的 未来肾脏领导者在研究领导者中的代表性。我们期待临床实习生 开始攻读公共卫生学院硕士学位的研究途径。我们有一个 经验丰富且富有成效的多PD/PI领导团队，由结构良好的团队提供支持和咨询 内部和外部委员会。我们建立的强大的研究基础设施，如肾脏 研究所，透析创新中心，西雅图老兵的管理研究项目， 我们南湖联合校区的分子和细胞基础科学项目提供了独特的 培训机会。我们为所有学员提供了详细而实用的课程，并提供了强有力的指导 提供个性化培训的计划。我们的期望和基准对学员和 教职员工也是如此，他们使用完善的评估指标进行密切监控。在过去的15年里，一半 从他的项目培训中毕业的校友中有全职学术职位的，而在毕业的校友中 在目前的赠款周期中，已经有一半的人成功地获得了K奖。传入的ACGME类到我们的 方案特别强大，一半是代表不足的少数民族，一半进入T32培训 程序。我们相信，我们拥有为未来提供最佳培训的师资、基础设施和文化。 肾脏内科医生-科学家。

Project Summary/Abstract The University of Washington (UW) Division of Nephrology's Kidney Research Training Program trains MD and PhD scientists to perform clinically-relevant research in kidney disease and related disorders. In this competitive renewal application, we request 4 training positions to support to 2-4 trainees each year as part of a 3-4 year combined clinical and research program for MD physician-scientists, and 2-3 year program for PhD scientists. 40 training faculty across several schools, departments and divisions offer a continuum of biomedical training including basic, clinical and translational science to achieve our objective to comprehensively prepare and train MD, MD PhD and PhD post-doctoral fellows to become independent academicians with research careers in kidney disease and related topics. Our mission is to train basic, clinical and translational scientists in kidney-related research so that they will be ideally positioned to successfully compete for mentored funding, and ultimately transition to research independence. Our goals include providing trainees with cutting edge opportunities to acquire applied “hands on” skills to perform basic, clinical or translational kidney research, supporting the educational training of clinical scientists through formal graduate- level education, fostering cross-talk between clinicians and scientists across multiple disciplines through research, facilitating transitions from trainee status to mentored (early) investigator to independent researcher, and training under-represented minorities to both enhance diversity in medicine and ensure broad representation among tomorrow's kidney leaders in research leaders. We expect trainees on the clinical research pathway to begin coursework towards a Master's degree in the School of Public Health. We have an experienced and productive multi-PD/PI leadership team, that is supported and counselled by well-structured internal and external committees. The robust research infrastructure we have established such as the Kidney Research Institute, the Center for Dialysis Innovation, the Seattle Veteran's Administration research program, and the molecular and cellular basic science programs at our South Lake Union campus provides unique training opportunities. We have a detailed, yet practical, curriculum for all trainees, and a robust mentoring program to provide individualized training. Our expectations and benchmarks are transparent to trainees and faculty alike, which are monitored closely using well developed evaluation metrics. Over the past 15 years, half of the alumni from training his program have full time academic positions, and of the graduated alumni this current grant cycle, half have already been successful with K-awards. The incoming ACGME class to our program is particularly strong, with half being underrepresented minorities, and half entering the T32 training program. We believe that we have the faculty, infrastructure and culture to provide optimal training for future kidney physician-scientists.
