Abstract

Two major challenges to advance research in pediatric renal disease are: (1) there are too few investigators entering pediatric nephrology research and (2) young investigators have inadequate opportunities to move from postdoctoral training to independent investigator. Therefore, emphasis should be placed on the enhancement ofthe research career of new scientists interested in pediatric renal research. The Pilot and Feasibility Projects can help fill this important gap in the development of new, talented pediatric nephrologists as well as Ph.D. scientists. Furthermore, the availability of these pilot projects makes it possible for senior investigators to move in new research directions or enter the field of kidney research from another discipline. In this proposal we describe the means to achieve the goal of increasing the number and quality of scientists involved in Pediatric Nephrology research centered around the theme of kidney development: Cell Fate and Precursors of Disease in the Young and Adult. To achieve those goals, we propose an effective Pilot and Feasibility program administration with: a) clear eligibility criteria, b) a rigorous process for evaluation and approval of projects, c) broad and exciting recruitment plans to attract new young investigators, and d) proven strategies to facilitate the recruitment of women and minorities. An additional goal is to ensure the appropriate mentoring of junior scientists by providiing protected time, resources and broad intellectual interactions to maximize their chances for success in academic life.
