# Research Training in Pediatric Nephrology

> **NIH NIH T32** · CINCINNATI CHILDRENS HOSP MED CTR · 2021 · $120,492

## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT
This application requests continued funding for an innovative and highly successful T32 training program in
Pediatric Nephrology at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. The training program, funded by the
NIH since 1975, has consistently produced much-needed academic pediatric nephrologists. Through a
combination of supervised research, core seminars and graduate level courses, and dedicated mentorship
provided by a consortium of primary research mentors and an advisory committee, trainees have a unique
opportunity to develop outstanding skills and leadership in the following four areas critical to the field:
• Molecular Biology of Kidney Development (Aronow, Kopan, Potter)
• Translational Studies in Acute Kidney Injury (Blaxall, Brunner, Davies, Devarajan, Goldstein, Wong)
• Clinical Epidemiology of Pediatric Kidney Disease (Brunner, Macaluso, Mitsnefes, White)
• Quality Improvement in Pediatric Kidney Disease (Hooper, Margolis, White)
Trainees in the basic sciences have a strong basic science component to their supervised research and
required courses. The depth and quality of this exposure is monitored by an interdisciplinary team of
outstanding scientists with strong training and mentoring track records. Fellows in the clinical sciences have
highly experienced clinical investigators, and will complete a Masters in Biostatistics and Epidemiology. All
trainees have a formal and in-depth exposure to research ethics, biostatistics, and research design. In addition
to training fellows, the primary research mentors are also committed to training young faculty to be future
mentors (mentors-in-training program). The long-term goal of the program remains to foster the development
of outstanding clinical or basic science physician-investigators and leaders who will meet the tremendously
underserved academic workforce needs in Pediatric Nephrology. Major strengths of this program include the
long-standing track record and commitment to excellence in fellowship training provided by the institution and
division, and the exceptional productivity of the fellows during and after training.
