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）： 密歇根大学的儿科肾脏病学培训计划旨在招募最优秀的博士后学员，并为他们提供基础科学或临床研究和流行病学两个主要方向之一的高质量研究培训，为他们在以下领域的成功学术生涯做好准备：小儿肾脏病学。该培训计划将为医学博士学员提供强有力的临床儿科肾病学培训，并结合为医学博士和博士生提供两年或更长的强化博士后研究培训。学员使用个性化且密切指导的研究培训计划，该计划旨在最适合每位学员的技能和兴趣。为了给这两大研究领域的学员提供出色的指导，培训计划将得到来自密歇根大学7个不同院系的24名教师的积极支持，他们都在各自的专业领域内拥有丰富的研究和指导经验。培训计划还将包括根据每位学员的研究兴趣量身定制的广泛教学内容。基础科学课程的学员将完成为期三个月的研究生研究培训计划，旨在让学员接触各种最先进的技术，并提高他们进行假设驱动和适当控制的研究的技能。临床调查和流行病学方向的学员将选择关注结果和流行病学或临床研究。这些学员将全部完成学习课程，获得生物统计学和流行病学公共卫生硕士学位或临床研究设计和统计分析理学硕士学位。除了正式课程外，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。指导研究将得到医学院、儿科、小儿肾病科、普通儿科、内科肾病科、肾脏流行病学和成本中心以及临床医学中心的资源支持。临床研究促进中心的研究培训核心。为了充分发挥每位学员成功学术生涯发​​展的潜力并确保儿科肾病学委员会的资格，学员还需要向全国会议提交摘要，提交至少一份第一作者的研究手稿，并申请个人拨款资助。我们培训项目的往届毕业生在儿科肾脏病学领域有着成功学术生涯的优秀记录。扩大和加强我们的培训计划将有助于缓解成功的儿科肾病专家和儿科医师科学家的严重短缺问题。
