Midcareer Investigator Award: Metabolic Complications of Chronic Kidney Disease

 描述（由申请人提供）：在我的研究生涯中，我培养了指导肾脏病学，流行病学和生物统计学临床研究人员的热情。我已经将这种激情转化为行动，作为一个成熟而成功的临床研究小组的主任，该小组将医生，流行病学家和生物统计学家整合到慢性肾脏疾病的研究中，并担任华盛顿医学院流行病学课程的主席。我以前的研究学员在培训期间发表了大量文章，获得了职业发展奖，并获得了学术医学的教职。我正在申请这项K24资助，以确保实施全面的临床研究培训计划所需的受保护时间，该计划旨在为下一代研究人员提供获得独立资金并取得长期成功所需的重要方法技能和实践研究经验。我将指导流行病学和生物统计学的医生科学家和研究生，他们将共同努力解决慢性肾脏疾病的临床研究问题。学员将在肾脏研究所（KRI）的专用环境中工作，该研究所是一个肾脏专业的临床和转化研究单位，为以患者为导向的研究提供关键基础设施和支持。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Throughout my research career I have I cultivated a passion for mentoring clinical researchers in Nephrology, Epidemiology, and Biostatistics. I have translated this passion into action, as the director of an established and successful clinical research group that integrates physicians, Epidemiologists, and Biostatisticians toward the study of chronic kidney disease, and as chair of the University of Washington Medical School Epidemiology course. My previous research trainees have published extensively during their training period, obtained career development awards, and secured faculty positions in academic medicine. I am applying for this K24 grant to secure the protected time necessary to implement a comprehensive clinical research training program designed to equip the next generation of researchers with vital methodological skills and hands-on research experiences necessary for them to obtain independent funding and achieve long-term success. I will mentor physician-scientists and graduate students in Epidemiology and Biostatistics, who will work together to solve clinical research problems in chronic kidney disease. Trainees will work within the dedicated environment of the Kidney Research Institute (KRI), a kidney-specialized, clinical and translational research unit that provides key infrastructure and support for patient-oriented research.
