Renal Training Grant in Clinical Investigation

这项临床研究中的肾脏培训补助金是机构研究的第一个竞争性延续 L.Kirschstein NRSA最初于2000年8月获奖。培训补助金最初是为了回应 计划公告PAR-99-92，“肾脏和泌尿外科临床研究培训”。这次培训 该计划汇集了肾脏社区和公共卫生学院的联合资源，地址为 明尼苏达大学。 我们的培训计划的具体目标是提供多学科的高级教学和实地考察 接受肾脏病临床研究培训。学员将完成临床研究硕士课程 或公共卫生学院的其他高级学位。五个重点领域的专业知识是 确定为培训的指导性研究部分：移植，心血管流行病学 肾脏和非肾脏患者、慢性肾脏疾病(包括透析)、糖尿病并发症和 高血压。数据采集和分析的核心资源包括协调中心和 USRDS心血管专题研究中心、普通临床研究中心、退伍军人事务部 用于慢性病后果研究，以及其他。我们培训计划的预期产品是 精通肾脏病的概念、设计、实施、分析和介绍的临床肾病医师 肾脏病的临床研究。我们项目的毕业生被期望具有更强的竞争力 高级奖项，例如国家卫生研究院颁发的K系列助学金。此外，这些毕业生应包括 能够持续独立研究的下一代肾脏病临床研究人员 事业。这些人应该是设计和实施未来临床试验的领导者 在肾脏病和未来肾脏临床研究人员的培训方面。

This Renal Training Grant In Clinical Investigation is the first competing continuation of an Institutional Ruth L. Kirschstein NRSA initially awarded in August, 2000. The Training Grant was initially in response to Program AnnouncementPAR-99-92, "Training in Clinical Investigationin Kidney and Urology". This training program brings together the combined resources of the renal community and the School of Public Health at the Universityof Minnesota. The specific aim of our training program is to provide multidisciplinary advanced didactic andfieldwork training in clinical investigation in nephrology. Trainees will completethe Clinical Research Masters Program or other advanced degree from the School of Public Health. Five areas of focused expertise have been identified for the mentored research component of training: Transplantation, Cardiovascular Epidemiology in Renal and Non-Renal Patients, Chronic Kidney Disease (including dialysis), Diabetic Complications, and Hypertension. Core Resources for data acquisition and analysis include the Coordinating Center and Cardiovascular Special Studies Center of the USRDS, the General Clinical Research Center, the VA Center for Chronic Disease Outcomes Research, and others. The expected product of our training program is a clinical nephrologist who is skilled in the conception, design, performance, analysis and presentation of clinical researchin Nephrology. Graduates of our program are expectedto be highly competitive for more advanced awards such as the K series grants from the NIH.In addition, these graduates should comprise the next generationof clinical researchers in nephrology capable of sustaining independent investigative careers. These individuals should be the leaders in the design and implementation of future clinical trails in nephrology and in the training of future renal clinical investigators.
