DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Harvard Summer Research Program in Kidney Medicine is designed to introduce talented undergraduate students to the rich and exciting world of kidney research. The core feature of the proposed program is an intensive research experience under the guidance of experienced and committed investigators from the Harvard Medical School faculty. The research activities may be bench science or clinical research. Projects will be based at one of four major Harvard affiliated research institutions: Brigham and Women's Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Massachusetts General Hospital and Boston's Children's Hospital. Participation of each site will be facilitated by "site miners", key research faculty at that institution who will help match students with research opportunities. The Nephrology Division chiefs will ensure institutional commitment and support. Each site has committed to taking at least 4 students per summer. Students will also participate in a core curriculum that will include two central components: 1) an introduction to the principles of renal physiology and basic mechanisms of disease and how disease affects real patients; 2) training in evaluation of individuals for chronic kidney disease and an opportunity to participate in a community screening effort, sponsored by our Kidney Disease Screening and Awareness Program. An additional goal of the core curriculum is to promote student interest and confidence to pursue a career in the sciences. Students will receive training in fundamental aspects of experimental design and implementation. Social activities will complement formal aspects of the Program to enhance students' understanding of the community of research and the joy of discovery. Individual preceptors at each institution will help students to prepare for local presentations of their research. Students will also participate in the signature science symposium that is planned by the NIDDK in Bethesda, MD, to culminate this intensive experience. The program leadership will consist of a Director and two Associate Directors, each of whom has had significant experience in guiding the careers of many trainees at various stages of development, including college undergraduate students. Both internal and external oversight committees have been constructed to optimize the effectiveness of the Program, optimize matching of students to research mentor and advise and mentor students on career choices. In addition, an assessment component has been devised to determine the Program's immediate and subsequent impact on the participants' careers and to facilitate improvement of the Program each year. With this range of activities in place, we hope to instill in the students a lifetime focus on scholarly activities and an interest in the kidney.

描述（由申请人提供）：肾脏医学的哈佛夏季研究计划旨在将才华横溢的本科生介绍给肾脏研究的丰富而令人兴奋的世界。拟议计划的核心特征是在哈佛医学院教职员工经验丰富且坚定的调查人员的指导下进行的一项密集研究经验。研究活动可能是基准科学或临床研究。项目将设在哈佛大学附属研究机构之一：杨百翰医院，贝丝·以色列执事医疗中心，马萨诸塞州综合医院和波士顿儿童医院。每个站点的参与将由“现场矿工”，该机构的重要研究学院促进，他们将帮助学生与研究机会相匹配。肾脏科负责人将确保机构的承诺和支持。每个网站都承诺每个夏天至少要吸引4个学生。学生还将参加一个核心课程，其中包括两个中心组成部分：1）肾脏生理学原理和疾病基本机制的简介以及疾病如何影响实际患者； 2）评估个人的慢性肾脏疾病的培训，以及通过我们的肾脏疾病筛查和意识计划赞助的社区筛查工作的机会。核心课程的另一个目标是促进学生的兴趣和信心，从而从事科学职业。学生将接受实验设计和实施基本方面的培训。社交活动将补充该计划的正式方面，以增强学生对研究社区和发现乐趣的理解。每个机构的个别主持人将帮助学生为他们的研究本地演讲做准备。学生还将参加由MD贝塞斯达（Bethesda）计划的Niddk计划的签名科学研讨会，以高潮。该计划的领导将由董事和两名副董事组成，每个董事都在指导许多发展阶段（包括大学本科生）的许多学员的职业方面拥有丰富的经验。内部和外部监督委员会均已构建，以优化该计划的有效性，优化学生的匹配，以研究导师，并向学生提供职业选择。此外，已经设计了一个评估部分，以确定该计划对参与者职业的直接和后续影响，并促进每年的计划改进。有了这些活动范围，我们希望向学生灌输 终生专注于学术活动和对肾脏的兴趣。
