项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract The Summer Undergraduate Program in Emory Renal Research (SUPERR) will promote an appreciation for the study of kidney, urology, and hematologic (KUH) diseases among undergraduate students who are interested in furthering their scientific research and could be encouraged to pursue a career in biomedical scientific research. Early exposure of undergraduate researchers to these exciting areas of study will give promising students first hand experience in laboratory methods to answer questions that directly affect human health and disease. Our goal is to foster sustained interest in KUH diseases, thereby increasing the number of students applying to PhD and MD/PhD programs, and increasing the cadre of scientists in the biomedical workforce studying these topics in the future. SUPERR will expose undergraduate students to current questions in KUH diseases that are being investigated by NIDDK supported investigators at Emory University. Following a national recruitment, selected students will participate in a 12-week didactic and laboratory-based experiential program on our Atlanta campus to advance their knowledge of nephrology, urology, and hematology research through laboratory experimentation, clinical research, career development activities, responsible conduct in research training, and opportunities to present and share their research. Specific targeted skills will include data acquisition, analysis and interpretation, and scientific presentation. The culmination of the 12-week training will be participation at the NIDDK sponsored Summer Student Research Symposium in Bethesda. Our overall objective is to train the next generation of scientists and physician-scientists in nephrology, urology, or hematology research. Specific Aim 1 is to establish an undergraduate program that garners interest in kidney, urology, and hematologic diseases. Specific Aim 2 is to promote interest in kidney, urology, and hematology disease research among women and underrepresented minorities. Specific Aim 3 is to increase undergraduate enrollment into PhD and MD/PhD programs that excel in nephrology, urology, or hematology research.

项目摘要/摘要 Emory肾脏研究（SUPERR）的夏季本科课程将促进对研究肾脏，泌尿外科和血液学（KUH）疾病的欣赏有兴趣进一步发展科学研究的本科生鼓励从事生物医学科学研究的职业。早期暴露这些令人兴奋的研究领域的本科研究人员将为有前途的学生提供在实验室方法中的手经验，以回答直接影响人类健康的问题和疾病。我们的目标是促进对Kuh疾病的持续兴趣，从而增加申请博士学位和医学博士学位课程的学生人数，并增加了生物医学劳动力的科学家将来研究这些主题。 Superr将暴露本科生涉及正在调查的KUH疾病中的问题 NIDDK支持埃默里大学的调查员。在全国招募之后，被选中学生将在我们的亚特兰大校园以提高他们对肾脏科学，泌尿科和血液学研究的了解通过实验室实验，临床研究，职业发展活动，负责在研究培训中进行进行，以及提供和分享他们的研究的机会。具体的有针对性的技能将包括数据获取，分析和解释以及科学推介会。为期12周的培训的高潮将参加NIDDK 贝塞斯达的赞助夏季学生研究研讨会。我们的总体目标是培训下一代肾脏科学，泌尿科或血液学的科学家和医师科学家研究。具体目标1是建立一个吸引人们兴趣的本科课程肾脏，泌尿科和血液学疾病。具体目标2是促进对肾脏的兴趣，妇女和代表性不足的少数群体中的泌尿外科和血液学疾病研究。特定目标3是将本科入学率增加到博士和MD/PHD计划中肾脏学，泌尿科或血液学研究表现出色。
