DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This program recognizes the continuing need for highly skilled M.D. and Ph.D. researchers to address the burgeoning onslaught of chronic renal diseases descending on our Nation and is designed to address that need by accommodating two post-doctoral fellows each year for intensive training in renal research methods and projects with internationally recognized and NIH-funded mentors working in a highly integrated interdisciplinary environment. Research training lasts 2-3 years. For M.D. trainees, research training is interfaced with a year of clinical training, under the guidance of master clinician preceptors who use quantitative reasoning and laboratory methods to solve medical problems created by renal disease, to insure eligibility for Nephrology Board certification. Current researc areas include the molecular genetics and pathogenesis of human renal diseases, state-of-the-art receptor and signal transduction biochemistry, the biology of kidney developmental, molecular determinants of metabolic bone disease, clinical decision analysis and outcomes research for kidney diseases and hypertension, and epithelial transport and metabolism. Upon successful completion of the fellowship, the trainees will be prepared to accept positions in academic departments or institutes of medicine and/or basic science where they can pursue independent research careers. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Diseases of the kidney account for over 100 billion dollars in health care expenditure each year in the USA. Little is being done currently to prevent or mitigate this enormous problem owing to insufficient numbers of highly trained clinician and basic scientists committed to finding solutions. This research training program is an important step for addressing the health care needs of citizens with a broad array of kidney diseases.

描述（由申请人提供）：该计划认识到对高技能医学博士和博士学位的持续需求。研究人员旨在解决我们国家日益严重的慢性肾脏疾病的问题，并旨在满足这一需求，每年为两名博士后研究员提供肾脏研究方法和项目的强化培训，并与国际公认的、由美国国立卫生研究院资助的导师一起在肾脏研究方法和项目上进行强化培训。高度集成的跨学科环境。研究培训持续2-3年。对于医学博士学员来说，研究培训与一年的临床培训相结合，在临床大师导师的指导下，使用定量推理和实验室方法来解决肾脏疾病引起的医疗问题，以确保获得肾脏病委员会认证的资格。目前的研究领域包括人类肾脏疾病的分子遗传学和发病机制、最先进的受体和信号转导生物化学、肾脏发育生物学、代谢性骨疾病的分子决定因素、肾脏疾病和肾脏疾病的临床决策分析和结果研究。高血压、上皮运输和代谢。成功完成奖学金后，学员将准备接受医学和/或基础科学学术部门或研究所的职位，在那里他们可以从事独立的研究职业。 公共健康相关性：在美国，每年用于肾脏疾病的医疗保健支出超过 1000 亿美元。由于致力于寻找解决方案的训练有素的临床医生和基础科学家数量不足，目前在预防或缓解这一巨大问题方面几乎没有采取任何措施。该研究培训计划是满足患有多种肾脏疾病的公民的医疗保健需求的重要一步。
