ABSTRACT The numbers of highly trained biomedical investigators in kidney disease research is ever dwindling. It is imperative that we initiate innovative schemes to reinvigorate the next generation of renal researchers. Innovative and creative research investigators are required to move forward in our understanding of the highly complex pathophysiology observed in kidney disease. Kidney disease is increasing today at higher rates than ever before with few treatment options other than renal replacement therapy. We have very few basic scientists and/or clinician scientists trained in kidney disease research. The overall goal of this R25 proposal is to estblish a focused summer undergraduate research experience at UAB exclusively on kidney disease research with novel strategies to engage and empower students to be life-long researchers. The novel strategy of the Kidney Undergraduate Research Experience (KURE) program will incorporate focused training of undergraduate students to foster development of critical thinking, communication, and hands on kidney research skills as well as engagement in the pathophysiology of kidney disease—all strategies are centered on the student gaining an identification with basic and translational kidney research. The KURE program will expose our scholars to the rigor and depth of scientific thinking and communication skills that will prepare them to contribute to medical advances throughout their careers. Novel strategies are needed to engage and empower students for life-long careers in kidney disease research. The KURE program will help to expand the scientist and physician-scientist workforce dedicated to renal research that is currently shrinking in the US, as well as broaden and further enhance the culture of academic investigation of kidney disease at the UAB academic medical center. This will be accomplished by their participation in the Kidney Cross-Talk Workshop (KCTW) series that will start with participation in a 1-day team science, networking, and communications retreat as well as the development of critical thinking about kidney physiology and pathophysiology ending with shadowing experiences with nephrologists and patients with kidney disease. Further, KURE scholars will be enrolled in our Continuing Career Mentorship program that will utilize near peer mentorship to interact in-person during the summer as well as through the KURE Facebook, LinkedIn networking, and the “newsletter” In the Loop.

抽象的 肾脏疾病研究中训练有素的生物医学研究人员的数量正在不断减少。 我们必须启动创新计划来重振下一代肾脏研究人员的活力。 需要创新和创造性的研究人员来推进我们对高度的理解 在肾脏疾病中观察到的复杂的病理生理学现在正在以更高的速度增长。 除了肾脏替代疗法之外，我们几乎没有什么基本的治疗选择。 接受过肾脏疾病研究培训的科学家和/或临床科学家 本 R25 提案的总体目标。 是在阿拉巴马大学建立专门针对肾脏的暑期本科生研究经验 疾病研究采用新颖的策略来吸引学生并使其成为终身研究人员。 肾脏本科生研究体验（KURE）计划的新颖策略将包括 对本科生进行重点培训，以促进批判性思维、沟通和能力的发展 实践肾脏研究技能以及参与肾脏疾病的病理生理学——所有这些 策略的重点是学生获得基础和转化肾脏研究的认同。 KURE 项目将使我们的学者接触到科学思维和交流的严谨性和深度 使他们能够在整个职业生涯中为医学进步做出贡献的技能是新颖的策略。 KURE 项目需要让学生参与并赋予其终生从事肾脏疾病研究的职业生涯。 将有助于扩大目前致力于肾脏研究的科学家和医师科学家队伍 美国的缩小，以及进一步扩大和加强肾脏学术研究的文化 UAB 学术医疗中心的疾病 这将通过他们对肾脏的参与来实现。 串讲研讨会 (KCTW) 系列将从参与为期 1 天的团队科学、网络和 交流静修以及关于肾脏生理学和批判性思维的发展 病理生理学以肾病专家和肾病患者的影子经验结束。 此外，KURE 学者将参加我们的持续职业指导计划，该计划将利用近同龄人 夏季期间面对面互动以及通过 KURE Facebook、LinkedIn 进行互动的指导 网络，以及循环中的“新闻通讯”。
