## Abstract

Abstract
Priorities in basic and translational research in nephrology include: causes of congenital and hereditary renal
disorders, glomerulonephritides, acute kidney injury, chronic and end-stage kidney diseases. Newer directions
in scientific inquiries in medicine encompass:
Precision Medicine Initiative, Patient-Centered Outcomes and
Comparative Effectiveness and Implementation Science, and the emerging concepts of Life Course Research
and transition to adult care.
Inherent in addressing these areas is the need for an outstanding cadre of
diverse, well-trained nephrology investigators. The training grant in Developmental Nephrology (TG) at the
Albert Einstein College of Medicine has historically provided the experience to foster development of pediatric
and internal medicine nephrology investigators and with this TG application we formally merge the training in
Developmental and Translational Nephrology with the goal of attracting the best applicants, including those
with dual training in both specialties. Prior trainees in the training program include over 20 Division Chiefs in
Nephrology, multiple R01 funded investigators and other leaders in Pediatric and Internal Medicine
Nephrology. Four post-doctoral awardees are provided two years of support with the option of additional
funding for those seeking more training. Awardees are competitively chosen by the Executive Committee from
the pool of talented candidates who have demonstrated skills and a commitment to research. Two career
pathways and mentorship, supplemented by an independent development plan (IDP), provide the
infrastructure for training in either basic or translational research with opportunities for a Master's in Clinical
Research Methods.Required courses in renal physiology, research design, bioethics, biostatistics, renal
pathology, comparative effectiveness research, patient centered outcomes and implementation science, along
with an outstanding series of invited speakers for the Nephrology Grand Rounds, the extensive
infrastructure and support offered by the Core Facilities at Montefiore/Einstein's Institute for Clinical and
Translational Research, provide opportunities for research training and education that foster the career
development of the Trainees.
and
Oversight of the trainees by experienced preceptors, a process of continual
learning, and evaluations including the use of IDPs, review by a Scholarly Oversight Committee, along with
input from the Executive and External Advisory Committees, assure the success of the Trainee during each
year of the program. Trainees are expected to be competent in presenting scientific abstracts of their work,
produce peer-reviewed manuscripts and participate in a “Mock Study Section” with preparation of grant
applications. Upon completion of the program, the Tainees will have acquired the skills to embark upon an
investigative career and a journey of life-long learning in investigative Nephrology. The commitment of the
