Renal Disease in Minority Populations and Developing Nations Conference Grant

超出所提供的空间。Charles R.德鲁医学和科学大学提议共同赞助“少数民族和发展中国家的肾脏疾病”，这是世界肾脏病大会（WCN）的一个卫星会议。会议将集中讨论少数民族和发展中国家的肾脏疾病，精心挑选的全球参与者和初级研究人员的摘要报告。主要内容包括慢性肾脏病和终末期肾脏病的病因和患病率，以及它们的主要原因和并发症。会议将重点关注创新的成本效益预防和早期治疗战略。本次专题讨论会源于少数种族和少数民族以及发展中国家日益严重的肾脏疾病问题。类似的专题讨论会（2001年，2003年）是美国肾脏病学会年会的官方附属会议，其会议记录是国际肾脏病杂志增刊（第63卷，2003年和正在编写中）的主题。总体目标是举办一次专题讨论会，肾脏专家讨论困扰全世界种族和少数民族群体的与进行性肾脏疾病及其并发症有关的新兴问题。研讨会将允许介绍和讨论流行病学，临床和基础科学的进展，由不同的国际小组。这将促进跨学科方法，以克服从全球角度限制生物医学和临床研究快速发展的关键障碍和知识差距。该申请有四个具体目标：具体目标1：为初级研究者提供更多机会参加以少数群体和新兴国家肾脏疾病预防为重点的研讨会，作为WCN会议的卫星会议;具体目标2：培养初级研究者参与有关肾脏疾病与少数群体/新兴国家之间关系的研究;具体目标3：围绕各种创新战略增加知识转移，以增加少数群体和新兴国家慢性肾病的预防;具体目标4：开发和出版一份增刊，其中包括国际肾脏杂志研讨会上每位发言者的文章。关键人员==

EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED. Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science proposes to co-sponsor "Renal Disease in Minority Populations and Developing Nations," a satellite conference to the World Congress of Nephrology (WCN). The meeting will focus on renal disease in minority populations and developing nations with carefully selected global participants and abstract presentations byjunior investigators. Main topics will include etiology and prevalence of chronic kidney disease and end stage renal disease, as well as their main causes and complications. The conference will focus on innovative cost effective prevention and early treatment strategies. This symposium stems from the growing problem of progressive renal disease among racial and ethnic minorities and developing countries. The proceedings of similar symposia (2001, 2003), which were official satellite conferences to the annual American Society of Nephrology meetings, were the subject of Kidney Internationaljournal supplements (Volume 63, 2003 and under preparation). The overarching goal is to develop a symposium where kidney specialists discuss the burgeoning problems that beset racial and ethnic minority groups worldwide as related to progressive renal disease and its complications. The symposium will allow presentation and discussion of epidemiological, clinical, and basic science advances by a diverse international panel. This will foster interdisciplinary approaches to overcoming critical roadblocks and knowledge gaps that constrain rapid advances in biomedical and clinical research progress from a global perspective. This application has four specific aims: Specific Aim 1: To provide increased access for junior investigators to a symposium focusing on the prevention of kidney disease in minority groups and emerging nations as a satellite to the WCN meeting; Specific Aim 2: To cultivate junior investigators' involvement in studies regarding the relationship between kidney disease and minority groups/emerging nations; Specific Aim 3: To increase knowledge transfer around diverse innovative strategies to increase prevention of chronic kidney disease in minority groups and emerging nations; and Specific Aim 4: To develop and publish a supplement that comprises of articles from each of the speakers at the symposium for the journal Kidney International.
