Summary/Abstract The UAB PRedoctoral Interdisciplinary renal physiology and MEdicine (PRIME) training program (Jennifer S. Pollock, PhD, Director; Paul Muntner, PhD, Associate Director) builds on established strengths in the kidney community at UAB incorporating basic, clinical, translational, and epidemiological investigation. The PRIME program brings together the Divisions of Nephrology, Pediatric Nephrology, Nephrology Research and Training Center (NRTC), Cardio-Renal Physiology and Medicine Section, O'Brien Center for Acute Kidney Injury, Center for Free Radical Biology (CFRB), Hepato-Renal Fibrocystic Center, HudsonAlpha Institute of Biotechnology, Departments of Cell, Developmental, and Integrative Biology, Pathology, Pathology, Surgery, Nutrition Sciences, Urology, Pediatrics, and Epidemiology providing a vibrant and effective interdisciplinary training environment and curriculum. These units enable an integrated and interdisciplinary landscape of collaborative science, which ranges from fundamental molecular discovery to translational and epidemiological research. These divisions, centers, and departments are all engaged in initiatives to build on state of the art kidney research with empowering and engaging faculty committed to training. This program includes established faculty and an explicit effort to incorporate young faculty to further strengthen the outstanding mentoring environment promoting development of all phases of this program. An effective interdisciplinary training program requires faculty with collaborative and synergistic scientific interests and projects, as well as systematic coordination of training opportunities facilitating promotion of life-long kidney investigators. The collaborative environment at UAB, embodied by the centers, programs, sections, and departments in this application, provides a strong research foundation. The committed training environment of the thematically organized Graduate Biomedical Sciences program in the School of Medicine, the graduate program in the Department of Epidemiology in the School of Public Health, and an outstanding UAB Office of Graduate Affairs and Postdoctoral Education, provide an ideal setting for the implementation of training in interdisciplinary kidney disease research. The training program is requesting 3 predoctoral training slots and expansion to 4 predoctoral slots in years 3, 4, and 5 (3-3-4-4-4) with each trainee participating in the program for 2 years with an optional third year.Required coursework will be incorporated into the individual development plan (IDP) of each trainee, which will be augmented by a broad interdisciplinary enrichment program. An executive committee will provide leadership for the PRIME program. The PRIME Internal Advisory Committee and PRIME External Advisory Committee will evaluate the overall performance of the PRIME Program. A series of benchmarks for progress will be formulated for each trainee and mentor and reviewed on a semi-annual basis. The members of the UAB training faculty are fully committed to continuing to provide mentorship, support, and guidance to graduate students to help them develop the tools and skills necessary to advance kidney disease research and be life-long kidney researchers.

摘要/摘要 UAB 博士后跨学科肾脏生理学和医学 (PRIME) 培训计划 (Jennifer S. 波洛克，博士，主任； Paul Muntner 博士，副主任）以肾脏的既定优势为基础 UAB 社区包括基础、临床、转化和流行病学调查。总理 该计划汇集了肾脏病学、儿科肾脏病学、肾脏病学研究和培训部门 中心 (NRTC)，心肾生理学和医学科，奥布莱恩急性肾损伤中心， 自由基生物学中心 (CFRB)、肝肾纤维囊性中心、HudsonAlpha 研究所 生物技术、细胞、发育和综合生物学系、病理学、病理学、外科、 营养科学、泌尿学、儿科和流行病学提供了充满活力和有效的跨学科 培训环境和课程。这些单位实现了综合和跨学科的景观 协作科学，范围从基础分子发现到转化和流行病学 研究。这些部门、中心和部门都致力于以最先进的技术为基础 肾脏研究，赋予致力于培训的教师权力和参与度。该计划包括 加强师资队伍建设，积极吸纳年轻教师，进一步壮大优秀师资队伍。 促进该计划所有阶段发展的指导环境。有效的跨学科 培训计划要求教师具有协作和协同的科学兴趣和项目，以及 系统协调培训机会，促进终身肾脏研究人员的晋升。这 UAB 的协作环境，体现在该中心、项目、科室和部门 的应用，提供了坚实的研究基础。主题式的承诺培训环境 在医学院组织了研究生生物医学科学研究生项目，在 公共卫生学院流行病学系和优秀的UAB研究生事务办公室 和博士后教育，为实施跨学科培训提供了理想的环境 肾脏疾病研究。该培训计划要求 3 个博士前培训名额，并扩大至 4 个 第 3、4 和 5 年的博士前名额 (3-3-4-4-4)，每位学员参加该计划 2 年 可选的第三年。所需的课程将纳入个人发展计划（IDP） 每个受训者都将通过广泛的跨学科强化计划得到增强。一名行政人员 委员会将为 PRIME 计划提供领导。 PRIME 内部咨询委员会和 PRIME 外部咨询委员会将评估 PRIME 计划的整体绩效。一系列 将为每位学员和导师制定进度基准，并每半年审查一次。 UAB 培训教员的成员完全致力于继续提供指导、支持和帮助 指导研究生，帮助他们开发预防肾脏疾病所需的工具和技能 研究并成为终身肾脏研究人员。
