DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this grant is to furnish basic and clinical research training for postdoctoral renal fellows with M.D. or M.D./Ph.D. degrees that wish to pursue biomedical research careers. Trainees entering our research laboratories will usually have completed a medical residency and one year of clinical nephrology. Selection for appointment is based on the aptitude of the applicant and their commitment to a career in biomedical research. Trainees are normally appointed for two years. Our program teaches a rigorous approach to scientific inquiry in basic science or/and clinical investigation. The faculty of this training program are all members of the University of Pennsylvania. Together they form a close and well-integrated collaborative entity dedicated to research training and investigation. The core basic research program emphasizes the areas of immunology/inflammation, transplantation, kidney development and structural biology, whereas the core clinical research programs focus on the epidemiology of chronic kidney disease and hypertension, and health care economics. Trainees may elect to work with investigators outside the Renal Electrolyte and Hypertension Division, as long as they are working in renal-related areas. In either scenario, cross-fertilization and development of skills to prepare trainees for a life long investigative career are emphasized. Each trainee will develop a carefully crafted research project under the close supervision of a faculty trainer. This intensively structured research experience will be supplemented by research seminars, attendance at scientific meetings, and by formal course work in molecular genetics, immunology, biochemistry, cell biology, statistics, bioethics, environmental health, radiation safety and experimental design. The Renal Research Training Committee made up of the Program Directors will carefully monitor the evolving progress of each trainee. Upon completion of this comprehensive experience, it is anticipated that each graduate will be equipped to effectively compete for further individual training support, or for independent funding at an entry-level faculty position in academic nephrology. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Kidney disease is a leading cause of illness and death in the United States. This application is for a program to train young physicians to conduct research into developing new strategies and treatments for kidney disease.

描述（由申请人提供）：这笔资助的目的是为医学博士或医学博士/哲学博士的博士后肾病研究员提供基础和临床研究培训。希望从事生物医学研究职业的学位。进入我们研究实验室的学员通常会完成住院医师实习和一年的临床肾病学学习。任命的选择取决于申请人的能力及其对生物医学研究职业的承诺。受训者的任期通常为两年。我们的课程教授基础科学或/和临床研究中严格的科学探究方法。该培训项目的师资均为宾夕法尼亚大学的成员。他们共同组成了一个紧密且一体化的协作实体，致力于研究培训和调查。核心基础研究项目强调免疫学/炎症、移植、肾脏发育和结构生物学领域，而核心临床研究项目则侧重于慢性肾脏病和高血压的流行病学以及医疗经济学。学员可以选择与肾脏电解质和高血压部门以外的研究人员一起工作，只要他们在肾脏相关领域工作。无论哪种情况，都强调交叉授精和技能发展，为受训者做好终身调查职业的准备。每位学员将在教师培训师的密切监督下开发一个精心设计的研究项目。这种密集的研究经验将通过研究研讨会、参加科学会议以及分子遗传学、免疫学、生物化学、细胞生物学、统计学、生物伦理学、环境健康、辐射安全和实验设计方面的正式课程来补充。由项目主任组成的肾脏研究培训委员会将仔细监控每位学员的进展情况。完成这种全面的经验后，预计每位毕业生将有能力有效地竞争进一步的个人培训支持，或获得学术肾脏病学入门级教职职位的独立资助。 公共卫生相关性：肾脏疾病是美国疾病和死亡的主要原因。该应用程序旨在培训年轻医生开展研究，开发肾脏疾病的新策略和治疗方法。
