DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Pediatric Nephrology Training Program at the University of Michigan is designed to recruit the best post-doctoral trainees and to provide them with high quality research training in one of two major tracks, Basic Science or Clinical Investigation and Epidemiology in preparation for successful academic careers in Pediatric Nephrology. The Training Program will provide strong clinical Pediatric Nephrology training for M.D. trainees, combined with 2 or more years of intensive postdoctoral research training for M.D. and Ph.D. trainees using an individualized and closely-mentored research training program designed to best fit each trainee's skills and interests. In order to provide outstanding mentorship for the trainees in these two major research areas, the Training Program will be actively supported by 24 faculty from 7 different departments at the University of Michigan, all of whom have extensive research and mentoring experience within their area of expertise. The Training Program will also include an extensive didactic component tailored to each trainee's research interests. Trainees in the Basic Science track will complete a three-month Postgraduate Research Training Program designed to expose trainees to a variety of state-of-the-art techniques, as well as to enhance their skills in performing hypothesis-driven and appropriately controlled research studies. Trainees in the Clinical Investigation and Epidemiology track will choose between a focus on Outcomes and Epidemiology or Clinical Research. These trainees will all complete a course of study leading to either a Master of Public Health in Biostatistics and Epidemiology degree or a Master of Science in Clinical Research Design and Statistical Analysis degree. In addition to their formal curriculum, the trainees will attend weekly clinical and research seminars and monthly research conferences. Mentored research will be supported by the resources of the Medical School, the Department of Pediatrics, the Division of Pediatric Nephrology, the Division of General Pediatrics, the Division of Nephrology in the Department of Internal Medicine, the Kidney Epidemiology and Cost Center and the Clinical Research Training Core of the Center for the Advancement of Clinical Research. To optimize each trainee's potential for development of a successful academic career and to ensure Pediatric Nephrology Board eligibility, trainees will also be required to submit abstracts to national meetings, submit at least one first-authored research manuscript, and apply for individual grant funding. Previous graduates of our Training Program have an excellent record of developing successful academic careers in Pediatric Nephrology. Expansion and enhancement of our Training Program will help to alleviate the critical shortage of successful Pediatric Nephrologists and Pediatric Physician-Scientists.

描述（由申请人提供）： 密歇根大学的小儿肾脏病培训计划旨在招募最佳的博士后学员，并在两种主要轨道之一，分别是基础科学或临床研究和流行病学中的一项高质量的研究培训，为儿科肾脏学的成功学术关怀准备。该培训计划将为M.D.学员提供强大的临床小儿肾脏病培训，并为M.D.和Ph.D.的2年或更长时间的强化博士后研究培训提供。受训者使用个性化且受到密近的研究培训计划，旨在最适合每个学员的技能和兴趣。为了在这两个主要研究领域为受训者提供出色的指导，该培训计划将得到密歇根大学7个不同系的24位教职员工的支持，他们在其专业知识领域内拥有广泛的研究和指导经验。该培训计划还将包括针对每个学员的研究兴趣量身定制的广泛的教学成分。基础科学轨道的学员将完成三个月的研究生研究培训计划，旨在使学员接触到各种最新技术，并增强他们在执行假设驱动和适当控制的研究方面的技能。临床研究和流行病学轨道的学员将在关注结果和流行病学或临床研究之间进行选择。这些受训者将完成一项研究课程，从而为生物统计学和流行病学学位的公共卫生硕士或临床研究设计和统计分析学位的科学硕士学位。除了正式的课程外，学员还将参加每周的临床和研究研讨会以及每月的研究会议。指导的研究将得到医学院，儿科系，儿科肾脏科，一般儿科科学系，内科医学部肾脏科学系，肾脏流行病学和成本中心以及临床研究中心的临床研究培训核心的支持。为了优化每个受训者的成功学术生涯的潜力并确保儿科肾脏病董事会的资格，还将要求受训者提交摘要，以提交全国会议，至少提交一份人工资助的研究手稿，并申请个人赠款资金。我们培训计划的先前毕业生在发展儿科肾脏学的成功学术职业方面拥有出色的记录。扩展和增强我们的培训计划将有助于减轻成功的儿科肾病学家和小儿医师科学家的严重短缺。
