DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Benign urological diseases are a major public health concern. Unfortunately, there are insufficient numbers of well-trained cross-disciplinary researchers focused on these conditions. To overcome this limitation, we propose the development of the Duke KURe (K12 Multidisciplinary Urologic Research) Scholars Program. This program would build upon significant institutional support for benign urological research as well as leverage a pre-existing training program while allowing us to provide in-depth research training to a select group of very promising young investigators focused on benign urological diseases. KURe Scholars will undergo an intensive training experience tailored to their individual needs and goals under the guidance of no less than 3 mentors/scholar - one with clinical disease-related expertise, one with research approach-based expertise, and one with biostatistical expertise. Each team of one scholar and three mentors will be assigned a secondary mentor from the mentor pool. The role of the secondary mentor is to provide additional assistance to the scholar, but also to provide "independent" feedback to the primary mentors to ensure coordination and improve the mentoring of the mentors ("teaching the teachers"). Once assembled, these mentoring teams will meet with the scholar no less than quarterly as an entire team. Each scholar will also meet individually with each mentor at least monthly. Scholars will work on research projects designed by the scholar, but under the supervision and guidance of the mentoring team. This team approach is designed to maximize opportunities for the scholars to develop and improve their research skills (clinical, research, and biostatistical), which will maximize scholar education in terms of research design, peer-reviewed publications and future grant opportunities. In addition, all scholars will participate ina year-long course of didactic classes designed specifically for urological researchers. This course already exists at Duke, under the guidance of Dr. Stephen Freedland, PI/PD of the KURe Scholars Program. Beyond the standard year-long course, trainees will have access to classes throughout Duke University to further enhance their educational needs. Indeed, we anticipate all KURe scholars will partake of these extra training opportunities, with many obtaining graduate degrees (e.g. Masters of Clinical Research). The specific goals of the KURe Scholars Program are to: * To recruit and train the next generation of benign urological researchers * 2. Train the next generation of mentors to future benign urological researchers * 3. Improve the overall level of mentoring among research mentors * 4. Share the successful aspects of our KURe Scholars Program with other institutions across the country Our approach to accomplish these goals is outlined in detail in the application. Though the exact number of KURe funded scholars will vary year-to-year based upon availability of scholars, we anticipate that in an idealized setting, we would have 4 KURe funded scholars: 2 junior faculty (MD or MD/PhD), one post- residency fellow (MD or MD/PhD), and one senior post-doctoral researcher (PhD). The Duke KURe program builds on institutional strengths by providing a large and diverse mentoring pool. Indeed, Duke is ideally positioned to train the next generation of leaders in the field of benign urological research. While the initial funding period for the Duke KURe Scholar Program is for 5 years, we are hopeful that through successfully training urological research scholars and helping they achieve future academic success that we will be able to continue our KURe funding indefinitely.

描述（由申请人提供）：良性泌尿科疾病是一个主要的公共卫生问题。不幸的是，没有足够的训练有素的跨学科研究人员专注于这些条件。为了克服这一限制，我们提出了公爵库尔（K12多学科泌尿科研究）学者计划的发展。该计划将基于对良性泌尿外科研究的重要机构支持，并利用先前存在的培训计划，同时使我们能够为一群专注于良性泌尿科疾病的非常有前途的年轻研究者提供深入的研究培训。库尔学者将在不少于3名导师/学者的指导下量身定制其个人需求和目标的强化培训经验 - 一种具有临床疾病相关的专业知识，具有基于研究方法的专业知识的专业知识，并且具有生物统计学专业知识。一名学者和三名导师的每个团队将被分配导师池的辅助导师。次要导师的作用是为学者提供额外的帮助，同时也向主要导师提供“独立的”反馈，以确保协调并改善导师的指导（“教师教师”）。一旦组装，这些指导团队将与整个团队的季度与学者会面。每个学者还将至少每月与每个导师单独见面。学者将研究由学者设计的研究项目，但在指导团队的监督和指导下。这种团队方法旨在最大限度地提高学者发展和提高其研究技能（临床，研究和生物统计学）的机会，这将在研究设计，同行评审的出版物和未来的赠款机会方面最大程度地提高学者教育。此外，所有学者都将参加专门为泌尿科研究人员设计的教学课程。在库尔学者计划的PI/PD的Stephen Freedland博士的指导下，该课程已经存在于杜克大学。除了为期一年的标准课程外，学员还可以在整个杜克大学上课，以进一步提高他们的教育需求。的确，我们预计所有库尔学者都将获得这些额外的培训机会，许多学者获得了研究生学位（例如临床研究硕士学位）。 库尔学者计划的具体目标是： *招募和培训下一代良性泌尿外科研究人员 * 2。培训下一代导师为未来的良性泌尿科研究人员 * 3。提高研究导师的总体指导水平 * 4。与全国其他机构分享我们的库尔学者计划的成功方面 我们实现这些目标的方法在应用程序中详细概述了。尽管根据学者的可用性，确切的Kure资助学者数量将每年变化，但我们预计在理想化的环境中，我们将拥有4个Kure资助的学者：2名初级教职员工（MD或MD/MD/PHD），一名后居留研究员（MD或MD/MD/MD/PHD）（MD或MD/PHD）和一名高级研究人员（PHD）。杜克·库尔计划（Duke Kure）计划通过提供大量多样的指导池来建立机构优势。的确，杜克大学理想地训练良性泌尿外科研究领域的下一代领导者。虽然杜克·库尔学者计划的最初资助期限为5年，但我们希望通过成功培训泌尿外科研究学者并帮助他们取得未来的学术成功，我们将能够无限期地继续我们的库尔资金。
