The University of Pittsburgh Summer Research Internship Program kidney workshop (SRIP-Kid)

摘要 慢性肾脏疾病（CKD）影响着超过3000万美国人，导致估计的年度医疗保健费用 400亿美元。此外，CKD的治疗方法很少，仅对终末期肾病患者进行姑息治疗。 阶段性肾病（ESRD），即透析或肾移植。此外，还有大量未满足的需求， 培养下一代以肾脏为基础的研究人员，以开发新的有效的治疗方法和治愈方法， 无数的肾脏疾病匹兹堡大学医学院有许多研究人员， 多个部门与美国国立卫生研究院资助的肾脏为基础的研究记录，从实验室为基础， 以病人为导向的研究这些调查人员都有很好的指导记录。我们要求 基金，为聪明的本科生提供食宿和津贴，他们将与导师一起工作， research.该计划将允许学生在夏季进行为期10周的研究， 夏季研究实习计划肾脏工作坊（SRIP-Kid）。多样化的本科生将 来自全国各地的大学。该计划将由该司管理。 儿科肾脏病学，将包括儿科肾脏病学分部，成人肾电解质 部和重症监护肾内科。该计划的主要目标将通过提供 关于肾脏主题的新颖教学法和对参与者的职业建议。培训教师的精选成员将会见 每周与所有学生一起提供一个小时的肾脏主题教学课程，然后是30分钟的 讨论相关论文和讨论作为肾脏病学研究人员的职业选择。此外，委员会认为， 我们会在世界级肾脏研究人员的指导下提供研究培训。多媒体平台 已专门为该计划开发，并将作为未来，当前和过去的学生的接口。 SRIP-Kid学生将与其中一名培训教师进行研究项目。考虑到 培训教师的研究兴趣，学生将有机会在实验室为基础的项目工作 或者一个以病人为导向的研究项目。在10周结束时，学生将以口头形式展示他们的作品。 演示文稿.在完成这个暑期课程后，学生们将接触到各种各样的 以肾脏为基础的研究课题，全国受尊敬的临床科学家和博士科学家，以及一个具体的 肾脏研究项目。考虑到关于医学专业和/或研究重点的决定通常 发生在培训的早期阶段，该计划的目的是增加受训人员的数量， 最终成为肾脏病学的临床科学家或博士科学家。我们将监督学生未来的职业 通过社交媒体平台与这个夏季计划有关的决定。

Abstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects over 30 million Americans leading to estimated annual health care costs of $40 billion. Moreover, there are few therapies for CKD and only palliative treatments for patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), namely dialysis or kidney transplantation. In addition, there is large unmet need to train the next generation of kidney-based researchers to develop new and effective treatments and cures for the myriad of kidney diseases. The University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine has many investigators across multiple departments with NIH funded track records of kidney-based research ranging from laboratory based to patient oriented research. These same investigators have strong track records of mentoring. We are requesting funds to provide room, board and a stipend to bright undergraduates that will work with mentors on kidney-based research. This program will allow students to perform research for a 10-week period over the summer as part of the Summer Research Internship Program kidney workshop (SRIP-Kid). The pool of diverse undergraduates will come from a wide range of Universities around the country. This program will be administered by the Division of Pediatric Nephrology and will include faculty from the Pediatric Nephrology Division, Adult Renal-Electrolyte Division, and Critical Care Nephrology Department. The major goals of this program will be achieved by providing novel didactics on renal topics and career advice to participants. Select members of the training faculty will meet weekly with all students to provide a one-hour didactic session on a renal topic followed by a 30-minute discussion on a pertinent paper and a discussion about career options as a nephrology researcher. Furthermore, we will provide research training under the mentorship of world-class kidney researchers. A multimedia platform has been developed specifically for this program and will act as an interface for future, current and past students. SRIP-Kid students will be matched with one of the training faculty to pursue a research project. Given the breadth of the training faculty research interests, students will have the opportunity to work on a laboratory-based project or a patient oriented research project. At the end of the 10 weeks, the students will present their work as an oral presentation. Upon completion of this summer program the students will have had exposure to a wide array of kidney-based research topics, to nationally respected clinician-scientists and PhD scientists, and to a specific kidney-based research project. Given that decisions about a specialty in medicine and/or research focus often happen in early stages of training, the intent of this program is to increase the number of trainees that will eventually become clinician-scientists or PhD scientists in nephrology. We will monitor the student’s future career decisions through social media platforms related to this summer program.
