项目摘要

Project Summary Major challenges facing nephrology today are declining interest in the field and lack of innovation and novel drug and device development. These factors may be related. Students who perceive nephrology as stagnant may be attracted to other specialties, thereby robbing the nephrology workforce of talented students who could innovate and advance the field. The R25 Funding Opportunity Announcement by NIDDK to spark interest in nephrology is therefore timely and an exciting opportunity to address a major need in the evolution of nephrology and the care of patients with kidney diseases. We propose the development of the Boston University Kidney and Medical Engineering Program (BU-KIDMEP). Our ultimate goal is to inspire talented young scholars to improve the lives of individuals with kidney disease through innovative technology solutions. To accomplish this, we have designed a program that: 1) Identifies students interested in technology and engineering across Boston University, with an emphasis on undergraduates; 2) Pairs students with a mentoring team comprised of a research/technology expert and a nephrology expert; 3) Fosters a 6- to 24- month long education program that includes didactic training, clinical immersion, and technology development; 4) Showcases research at capstone symposia; and 5) Tracks metrics to improve the program's success in attracting students to technology and kidney disease.

项目摘要当今肾脏科所面临的主要挑战正在对该领域的兴趣下降，缺乏创新和新颖药物和装置开发。这些因素可能是相关的。认为肾脏病停滞的学生可能被其他专业所吸引，从而抢劫了才华横溢的学生的肾脏科创新并推进领域。 NIDDK的R25资助机会公告引发了兴趣因此肾脏病和肾脏疾病患者的护理。我们提出了波士顿的发展大学肾脏和医学工程计划（BU-KIDMEP）。我们的最终目标是激发才华通过创新技术解决方案改善患有肾脏疾病的人的生活的年轻学者。为此，我们设计了一个程序：1）确定对技术感兴趣的学生波士顿大学的工程，重点是本科生； 2）学生与由研究/技术专家和肾脏科专家组成的指导团队； 3）养育6至24-- 为期一个月的教育计划，包括教学培训，临床沉浸和技术开发； 4）在Capstone研讨会上展示研究； 5）跟踪指标以改善该计划的成功吸引学生患技术和肾脏疾病。
