Mentoring Patient-Oriented Clinical Investigators in Nephrology

描述(申请人提供)：这份名为“指导以患者为中心的肾病临床研究人员”的K24申请表将提供支持，使Chertow博士能够继续并加强他作为研究员、初级教员和其他以患者为中心的受训人员的研究导师的活动。切尔托博士长期以来一直对培训临床研究人员和支持致力于学术医学事业的医生的职业发展感兴趣，特别是女性和代表人数较少的少数群体的人。他认为，到目前为止，衡量他成功的最好标准是他的受训人员的成功，他们中的大多数人仍然留在学术医学领域，其中许多人得到了NIDDK和NIH其他机构的赠款支持。在申请该奖项的五年中，切尔托博士打算直接监督每年至少两名研究员的培训，并为斯坦福大学的初级教员、住院医生、研究生和医学生提供额外的支持。Manisha Desai博士是一位经验丰富的应用生物统计学家，他将与Chertow博士共同指导受训人员，重点研究研究设计和分析中的复杂问题。切尔托博士打算与受训人员一起开发以个人兴趣为导向的项目，这些兴趣通常是由临床肾脏学的基本问题驱动的。他和德赛博士(以及其他合作者)将采用多种方法，包括临床流行病学、卫生服务研究、运筹学/决策科学和临床试验中使用的方法。切尔托博士将与斯坦福大学多样性和领导力办公室的资深教员合作，进一步发展他的指导技能。该培训计划的工作成果将包括以切尔托博士的受训人员为主要作者的多本出版物，以及10至12名或更多新的临床研究人员，以重新填充学术医学领域的肾病学家。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This K24 application, "Mentoring Patient-oriented Clinical Investigators in Nephrology" will provide support to allow Dr. Chertow to maintain and enhance his activities as a research mentor for fellows, junior faculty and other trainees in patient-oriented research. Dr. Chertow has had a longstanding interest in training clinical investigators, and in supporting career development of physicians dedicated to careers in academic medicine, particularly women and persons from underrepresented minority groups. He believes that the best measure of his success to date has been the success of his trainees, most of whom have remained in academic medicine and many of whom have received grant support from NIDDK and other institutes at NIH. During the five years requested for the award, Dr. Chertow intends on directly supervising the training of at least two fellows per year and to provide additional support to junior faculty, residents, graduate students and medical students at Stanford. Dr. Manisha Desai, an experienced applied biostatistician, will co-mentor Dr. Chertow's trainees, focusing on complex issues in study design and analysis. Dr. Chertow intends on developing projects with his trainees directed by their individual interests, typically driven by fundamental problems in clinical nephrology. He and Dr. Desai (and other collaborators) will employ a variety of approaches, including those used in clinical epidemiology, health services research, operations research/decision sciences and clinical trials. Dr. Chertow will further develop his mentoring skills working in conjunction with senior faculty at Stanford's Office of Diversity and Leadership. Work products of this training program will include multiple publications with Dr. Chertow's trainees as lead author, and 10 to 12 or more new clinical investigators to re-populate the pool of nephrologists in academic medicine.
