DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science proposes to co-sponsor "Renal Disease in Minority Populations and Developing Nations," a satellite conference to the WCN. The meeting will focus on renal disease in minority populations and developing nations with carefully selected global participants and abstract presentations by junior investigators. Main topics will include etiology and prevalence of chronic kidney disease and end stage renal disease, as well as their main causes and complications. The conference will focus on innovative cost effective prevention and early treatment strategies. This symposium stems from the growing problem of progressive renal disease among racial and ethnic minorities and developing countries. The proceedings of similar symposia (2001, 2003), which were official satellite conferences to the annual American Society of Nephrology meetings, were the subject of Kidney International journal supplements (Volume 63, 2003 and under preparation). The overarching goal is to develop a symposium where kidney specialists discuss the burgeoning problems that beset racial and ethnic minority groups worldwide as related to progressive renal disease and its complications. The symposium will allow presentation and discussion of epidemiological, clinical, and basic science advances by a diverse international panel. This will foster interdisciplinary approaches to overcoming critical roadblocks and knowledge gaps that constrain rapid advances in biomedical and clinical research progress from a global perspective. This application has four specific aims: Specific Aim 1: To provide increased access for junior investigators to a symposium focusing on the prevention of kidney disease in minority groups and emerging nations as a satellite to the WCN meeting; Specific Aim 2: To cultivate junior investigators' involvement in studies regarding the relationship between kidney disease and minority groups/emerging nations; Specific Aim 3: To increase knowledge transfer around diverse innovative strategies to increase prevention of chronic kidney disease in minority groups and emerging nations; and Specific Aim 4: To develop and publish a supplement that comprises of articles from each of the speakers at the symposium for the journal Kidney International.

描述（由申请人提供）： 查尔斯·R·德鲁医学与科学大学提议共同主办 WCN 的卫星会议“少数民族和发展中国家的肾病”。会议将重点关注少数群体和发展中国家的肾脏疾病，由精心挑选的全球参与者和初级研究人员的摘要介绍。主要议题包括慢性肾病和终末期肾病的病因和患病率，以及其主要原因和并发症。会议将重点讨论创新的、具有成本效益的预防和早期治疗策略。本次研讨会源于少数种族和族裔以及发展中国家日益严重的进行性肾病问题。类似研讨会（2001 年、2003 年）的会议记录是美国肾脏病学会年度会议的官方附属会议，也是《肾脏国际》期刊增刊（第 63 卷，2003 年，正在准备）的主题。 总体目标是举办一次研讨会，让肾脏专家讨论困扰全球少数族裔群体的与进行性肾脏疾病及其并发症相关的新兴问题。研讨会将由不同的国际小组介绍和讨论流行病学、临床和基础科学进展。这将促进跨学科方法克服从全球角度来看限制生物医学和临床研究进展快速进步的关键障碍和知识差距。该应用程序有四个具体目标： 具体目标 1：为初级研究人员提供更多参加研讨会的机会，该研讨会重点关注少数群体和新兴国家的肾脏疾病预防，作为 WCN 会议的卫星会议； 具体目标2：培养初级研究者参与肾脏疾病与少数群体/新兴国家之间关系的研究； 具体目标 3：加强围绕各种创新策略的知识转移，以加强少数群体和新兴国家慢性肾病的预防；和 具体目标 4：为《肾脏国际》杂志制定并出版一份增刊，其中包含研讨会上每位发言人的文章。
