DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is a request for partial funding to support travel grants for junior attendees to participate in the annual Professional Development Seminar (PDS) organized by Women in Nephrology (WIN) for the American Society of Nephrology (ASN). The PDS has been held yearly for the last ten years, and in 2006 the PDS will be held on November 15th, during the ASN Renal Week. The PDS encourages attendance of a diverse group of participants, including men, women, minorities and participants with disabilities. The main objectives of the PDS are: a) to provide insight into a successful career in the field of nephrology (clinical and research), b) to highlight qualities necessary to develop these career characteristics, and c) to prepare the attendees to identify and develop strategies for overcoming potential barriers to accomplishing career goals. The PDS is tailored to meet the needs of fellows and junior faculty (defined as junior attendees) wishing to pursue clinical and/or basic science research careers in the field of Nephrology. The one-day PDS program is divided in two sections: one section is targeted towards career development of early career nephrologists and Ph.D. scientists who aim to develop strategies to better manage their professional lives. Topics such as "Writing Grants", "Writing Articles", "Managing a laboratory", "Mentoring" and "Networking" will be addressed. The second component is targeted to mid-career nephrologists or scientists considering administrative and leadership roles. This part emphasizes clinical, educational, research program building, financial management and interpersonal skills. This program offered by the PDS is of high relevance to the mission of the NIDDK, in terms of their aim to support career development in the field of Nephrology. The PDS brings together investigators that would not typically interact. For example, PDS invites speakers who are not only successful clinical and basic science researchers in the field of nephrology, but are also well known as successful mentors from academic institutions across North America. The PDS addresses current and cutting edge topics on career development in research and education. Speakers discuss funding initiatives, demand for academic positions, and statistics on women and minorities in leadership roles. The PDS is designed to promote the careers of future nephrologists, both clinical and research, and provides a forum where barriers are discussed. As such, this seminar is a unique opportunity for junior attendees to attain valuable advice and information on furthering their careers, a prime goal that is common to WIN, ASN and NIDDK. 1 The Professional Development Seminar (PDS) addresses current and cutting edge topics in career development, including basic and clinical research career paths in nephrology. This program also covers managerial and time management issues. PDS speakers are encouraged to include in their talks research that addresses the latest statistics on funding, initiatives, demand for academic and non-academic workforce positions, and numbers of minority and women leadership positions, for example. The increasing numbers of patients with chronic kidney disease, now reaching epidemic proportions, make it necessary to train more health care providers and researchers. In this application, the Principal Investigator and the organizing committee request funds to partially support travel grants for junior attendees to the PDS, and we present evidence that the leadership of the nephrology community, the Women in Nephrology leadership, the American Society of Nephrology leadership, and the nephrology community of trainees, practitioners and researchers see how the PDS serves an important function in the preparedness of the nephrology clinical, research and educational workforce.

描述（由申请人提供）： 此申请是请求部分资金，以支持初级与会者参加由女性肾脏病学 (WIN) 为美国肾脏病学会 (ASN) 组织的年度专业发展研讨会 (PDS) 的旅费补助。过去十年，PDS 每年举行一次，2006 年 PDS 将于 11 月 15 日 ASN 肾脏周期间举行。 PDS 鼓励不同群体的参与者参加，包括男性、女性、少数群体和残疾参与者。 PDS 的主要目标是：a) 深入了解肾病学领域（临床和研究）的成功职业，b) 强调发展这些职业特征所需的素质，以及 c) 让参与者做好识别和识别的准备。制定克服实现职业目标的潜在障碍的策略。 PDS 专为满足希望在肾脏病学领域从事临床和/或基础科学研究职业的研究员和初级教员（定义为初级参与者）的需求而量身定制。为期一天的 PDS 项目分为两个部分：一个部分针对早期职业肾脏病学家和博士的职业发展。旨在制定策略以更好地管理其职业生活的科学家。将讨论“写作资助”、“撰写文章”、“管理实验室”、“指导”和“网络”等主题。第二部分针对处于职业生涯中期的肾脏病学家或考虑行政和领导角色的科学家。这部分强调临床、教育、研究项目建设、财务管理和人际交往能力。 PDS 提供的该计划与 NIDDK 的使命高度相关，即支持肾脏病学领域的职业发展。 PDS 将通常不会互动的调查人员聚集在一起。例如，PDS 邀请的演讲者不仅是肾脏病学领域成功的临床和基础科学研究人员，而且也是来自北美学术机构的知名成功导师。 PDS 涉及研究和教育职业发展的当前和前沿主题。演讲者讨论了资助计划、对学术职位的需求以及担任领导职务的女性和少数族裔的统计数据。 PDS 旨在促进未来肾脏病学家的临床和研究职业生涯，并提供一个讨论障碍的论坛。因此，本次研讨会为初级与会者提供了一个独特的机会，让他们获得有关职业发展的宝贵建议和信息，这也是 WIN、ASN 和 NIDDK 的共同首要目标。 1 专业发展研讨会 (PDS) 讨论职业发展中的当前和前沿主题，包括肾脏病学的基础和临床研究职业道路。该计划还涵盖管理和时间管理问题。鼓励 PDS 演讲者在演讲中纳入研究内容，以解决有关资金、倡议、学术和非学术劳动力职位需求以及少数族裔和女性领导职位数量等方面的最新统计数据。慢性肾病患者数量不断增加，现已达到流行病的程度，因此有必要培训更多的医疗保健提供者和研究人员。在此申请中，首席研究员和组委会请求资金来部分支持初级参加者参加 PDS 的旅费补助，我们提供的证据表明肾脏病学界的领导层、女性肾脏病学领导层、美国肾脏病学会的领导层、肾病学社区的学员、从业者和研究人员了解 PDS 如何在肾病学临床、研究和教育人员的准备中发挥重要作用。
