Indiana University Kidney Training Program (IU-KTP)

描述：印第安纳州大学医学院肾脏研究计划的目标是： 转化肾脏研究的研究培训是为了提供一个高度整合的，多学科的 增加受训者对基础和临床肾脏保持兴趣的可能性的经验 research. IU-KTP已做好准备，培训下一代科学家，以领导制止 通过个性化诊断方法减少肾脏疾病的增加和降低医疗保健费用， 治疗重要的是，我们的计划将为学员提供学习成人和儿科的机会。 肾脏疾病与合作沿着T1-T4转化研究谱，以带来新的 治疗和创新到肾脏病学领域。这项新计划利用了IUSM在这方面的优势， 医学研究的关键领域，并直接支持来自8个不同部门的30名教师导师 每年有超过三千万美元的校外直接资助这些国家和国际领导人 在尖端，机械研究和博士和博士后的培训方面有着出色的记录， 博士研究员。研究培训机会大致分为三个方案 突出IU肾脏疾病合作研究的主题：肾脏疾病的发病机制 (AKI、糖尿病、肾结石、儿童泌尿系统疾病）、诊断和 治疗和CKD并发症（CKD-矿物质骨障碍、不动和药物分配）。 这些方案主题利用了我们的成人和儿科肾脏科， 获得创新技术和方法，并得到机构资源的支持。IU-KTP 该计划将建立在1）成功和创新的NIH资助的研究，在我们的成人和儿科 肾脏学项目，2）我们最先进的肾脏成像技术，以NIDDK资助的 乔治奥布莱恩中心; 3）印第安纳州大学和各部门强大的精确“组学”基础设施， 4)我们的转化方法由我们令人印象深刻的肾脏学临床研究基础设施和我们的 全国知名的CTSI和5）IU SOM校园调查员的合作精神。重要的是 支持IU-KTP学员的优秀科学培训环境将进一步得到加强， 一个全面的，综合的，正式的职业发展计划与这些长期目标， 个人成为下一代肾脏研究人员，领导者和导师。

DESCRIPTION: The goal of the Indiana University School of Medicine’s Kidney Research Program for Research Training in Translational Kidney Research is to provide a highly integrative, multi-disciplinary experience that increases the probability that trainees will maintain an interest in basic and clinical kidney research. The IU-KTP is well poised to train the next generation of scientists to lead the charge in halting the increase in kidney disease and reduce health care costs by personalizing the approach to diagnosis and treatment. Importantly, our program will afford Trainees the opportunity to study both Adult and Pediatric Kidney Diseases with collaboration along the T1-T4 translational research spectrum in order to bring new therapies and innovations to the field of Nephrology. This new program capitalizes on IUSM’s strength in this critical area of medical research and is directly supported by 30 faculty mentors from 8 different departments with collectively over $30 million in direct annual extramural funding. These national and international leaders have outstanding track records in cutting edge, mechanistic research and in the training of PhD and MD post- doctoral fellows. The research training opportunities are broadly categorized across three programmatic themes that highlight the collaborative research in kidney disease at IU: The pathogenesis of kidney disease (AKI, diabetes, kidney stones, childhood urologic disorders), precision medicine of diagnostics and therapeutics, and complications of CKD (CKD-mineral bone disorder, immobility, and drug dispensation). These programmatic themes capitalize on our Adult and Pediatric Divisions of Nephrology that allow trainees access to innovative technologies and methodologies, augmented by Institutional Resources. The IU-KTP program will build upon 1) The successful and innovative NIH funded research in our Adult and Pediatric Nephrology programs, 2) Our state of the art kidney imaging techniques centered with the NIDDK funded George O’Brien Center; 3) The robust precision ‘omics’ infrastructure at Indiana University and in the Divisions, 4) Our translational approaches fueled by our impressive clinical research infrastructure in Nephrology and our nationally renowned CTSI and 5) The collaborative spirit of IU SOM campus investigators. Importantly, the outstanding scientific training environment supporting IU-KTP Trainees will be further augmented by a comprehensive, integrative, and formal career development program with the long-term goal of these individuals becoming the next generation of Kidney Researchers, Leaders and Mentors.
