Abstract

Abstract To meet the needs of those with kidney, urology and hematology related medical symptoms or conditions, the Cleveland Kidney, Urology and Hematology Research Training Network has designed a one and a half daylong meeting to educate the next generation of KUH professionals. This meeting will enable trainees and their senior colleagues to both learn together and to network. In order for all trainees to have the opportunity to join this meeting, the Cleveland Kidney, Urology and Hematology Research Training Network is requesting a supplement to support the travel costs for these trainees. At the meeting, trainees will benefit from current training which will enable them to address outcomes important to people with kidney, benign urinary and benign blood conditions and cure these diseases. The agenda includes a plenary panel and discussion to include topics such as novel imaging modalities for early detection of kidney disease, advances and challenges for hemophilia gene therapy and computational pathology and its impact in urological diseases. Resources such as the O’Brien Cooperative Research Centers, CAIRIBU and Cooperative Centers of Excellence in Hematology will be shared. As the meeting is centered around trainees, required trainee poster sessions and trainee oral presentations will be held. In addition, several classes will be available regarding How Scientists Can Develop an Entrepreneurial Identity, A Guide to Multi-Investigator Grants: What They are & Development Considerations, How to Negotiate Your First Academic Position, How to Publish High-Impact Science and The Path from Bench to Bedside: Considerations for First-in-Human Studies. The goal of this meeting is to educate leaders for the nation’s KUHR workforce, to accelerate clinical research education, and to educate all members of the research team. These trainees will be joining in discussions regarding kidney, urology and hematology while networking, presenting their research, creating collaborations, connecting with mentor’s and making new friends. Ultimately, this meeting will impact the face of KUHR going forward and the more trainees in attendance, the greater chance of meeting this goal.
