Mayo Clinic Summer Undergraduate Research in Nephrology & Urology

摘要：梅奥临床暑期本科生肾脏与泌尿外科研究 梅奥诊所在肾脏病的基础科学和临床科学研究方面都有丰富的历史。 并有积极的博士、医学博士和医学博士培训计划。每年，梅奥研究生院 收到来自本科生的1000份申请，希望与梅奥诊所的研究人员合作。梅奥诊所是 奥布莱恩泌尿外科研究中心和一种转化性多囊肾病(PKD)的所在地 中心。这两个梅奥中心都是美国国立卫生研究院资助的四个中心之一。在过去的几年里，两者 中心已经收到了补充资金，以支持与肾脏相关的夏季本科生研究 Stones和PKD。本提案针对RFA-DK-13-005(R25)，将两者合并 成功的暑期本科课程成为更广泛的梅奥诊所暑期本科生 肾病学和泌尿学研究。梅奥项目的几名学生已经进入了博士、医学或医学博士学位。 博士项目，或与人合著了肾病学或泌尿学方面的同行评议论文。 在接下来的5年里，我们建议资助14名学生/暑期(总共70名学生)专门工作 与梅奥研究人员在肾脏和泌尿外科从事基础或翻译研究。这5年期间 将允许该项目的本科生进行创新的肾病学和泌尿学研究 梅奥诊所研究实验室。学生还将参加各种教育计划(例如，每周 研讨会和小型课程)，以提高他们的研究经验。他们为期10周的暑期体验将 以(1)10分钟的口头陈述他们的工作，(2)全美夏季本科生海报结束 演讲(&gt；120名学生/年)和(3)NIDDK夏季研究海报研讨会，每年于#年举行 马里兰州贝塞斯达暑期计划结束后，将对学生进行学业跟踪，以确定 梅奥大学本科生肾脏和泌尿外科研究经验的有效性。我们的目标是 通过这次培训增加基础和临床肾脏及泌尿外科研究人员的数量 经验。

Abstract: Mayo Clinic Summer Undergraduate Research in Nephrology & Urology The Mayo Clinic has a rich history in both basic science and clinic science research in Nephrology & Urology, and has active PhD, MD and MD-PhD training programs. Annually, the Mayo Graduate School receives >1000 applications from Undergraduates to work with Mayo Clinic Investigators. The Mayo Clinic is home to both an O'Brien Urology Research Center as well as a Translational Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) Center. Both Mayo Centers are one of four NIH funded Centers in the US. For the past several years, both Centers have received supplemental funds to support summer undergraduate research related to kidney stones and PKD, respectively. This proposal, in response to RFA-DK-13-005 (R25) merges these two successful summer undergraduate programs into a more generalized Mayo Clinic Summer Undergraduate Research in Nephrology & Urology. Several students from Mayo's programs have entered PhD, MD, or MD- PhD programs, or have co-authored Nephrology or Urology-oriented peer-reviewed papers. Over the next 5 years, we proposed to fund 14 students/summer (70 students total) to work specifically with Mayo Investigators engaged in basic or translational research in Nephrology & Urology. This 5 year period will allow undergraduates in the program to perform innovative Nephrology & Urology research with leading Mayo Clinic research laboratories. Students will also participate in various educational programs (e.g., weekly seminars and mini-courses) to enhance their research experience. Their 10-week summer experience will culminate with (1) a 10-minute oral presentation of their work, (2) a Mayo-wide Summer Undergraduate poster presentation (> 120 student/yr) and (3) a NIDDK Summer Research Poster Symposium to be held annually in Bethesda, MD. Following the Summer Program, students will be academically tracked to determine the effectiveness of the Mayo Summer Undergraduate Research experience in Nephrology & Urology. Our goal is to increase the number of basic and clinical Nephrology & Urology researchers as a result of this training experience.
