DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of our training program is to prepare clinical investigators and basic medical scientists for productive, independent investigative careers in the area of renal disease. This would require a minimum of 2 years exposure to intensive laboratory experience or clinical research working closely with one of the program faculty. Candidates must be MDs who have completed an approved Internal Medicine Residency or PhDs in a biomedical field. Many of the fundamental advances in the field of Nephrology are as a result of laboratory-based research being increasingly transferred to clinical practice. Accordingly, our training program will emphasize both laboratory-based and clinical/translation research in the physiology and pathophysiology of the kidney. The quality and the dedicated effort of the program faculty are primary factors assuring success of the research training. Consequently, the program faculty is limited to investigators with active, on going funded laboratory-based or clinical/translation research programs with documented training records who can provide hands-on research experience for trainees. The program faculty represents a closely-knit interacting multidisciplinary faculty from the departments of Medicine, Pathology, Pharmacology and Toxicology, and Biochemistry, Geriatrics and Physiology and includes 6 MDs, 6 PhDs, 2 MD/PhDs, and 2 MD/MPHs. While each individual member conducts his specific-funded program in his own right, most of the program faculty interact with each other and meet on a regular basis to discuss respective research efforts as well as explore collaborative projects. Such inter-laboratory cooperation is very useful for expanding the outlook of research fellows who become familiar with a wider variety of methods and multidisciplinary strategic approaches to the solution of scientific problems. The trainees have the option of obtaining an MPH degree or are expected to participate in regularly scheduled activities sponsored by the School of Public Health and other departments targeted toward the scientific method and statistical analysis; attend conferences sponsored by Medicine, Physiology and Biochemistry; and attend the weekly research conference held as a part of Program Project.

描述（由申请人提供）： 我们的培训计划的目的是为肾脏疾病领域的生产性，独立的研究职业做准备临床研究人员和基本医学科学家。这将至少需要与计划教师之一紧密合作的密集实验室经验或临床研究至少2年。候选人必须是在生物医学领域完成批准的内科住院医师或博士学位的MD。肾脏科领域的许多基本进步都是基于实验室的研究越来越多地转移到临床实践的结果。因此，我们的培训计划将强调肾脏生理学和病理生理学的基于实验室和临床/翻译研究。该计划教师的质量和专门工作是确保研究培训成功的主要因素。因此，该计划的教师仅限于有活跃的调查人员，该计划的基于实验室或临床/翻译研究计划具有有记录的培训记录，他们可以为受训者提供动手研究经验。该计划的教师代表了来自医学，病理学，药理学和毒理学以及生物化学，老年医学和生理学系的紧密相互作用的多学科教师，包括6个MDS，2个PHD，2 MD/PHDS和2 MD/MD/MD/MD/MD/MD/MD/MPHS。尽管每个成员本身都进行了特定资助的计划，但大多数计划教师相互互动，并定期开会，讨论各自的研究工作以及探索协作项目。这种实验室间合作对于扩大研究研究员的前景非常有用，他们熟悉多种方法和多学科战略方法来解决科学问题。学员可以选择获得MPH学位，或者有望参加由公共卫生学院和针对科学方法和统计分析的其他部门赞助的定期安排的活动；参加由医学，生理学和生物化学赞助的会议；并参加计划项目的一部分举行的每周研究会议。
