Description
The Deep South KUH Premier Research and Interdisciplinary Mentored Education (PRIME) program aims to develop a fully integrated, interdisciplinary network of pre- and post-doctoral trainees in kidney, urology and non-malignant hematology (KUH) research across the Deep South who have the training, skills and drive necessary to advance KUH health through science and medicine. The KUH PRIME will bring together the distinguished KUH research programs and complementary training assets at Augusta University, Tulane University, and the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) to foster KUH training activities across the Deep South. The Deep South KUH PRIME will leverage our established research partnerships including the Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CTSA hub) Partner Network and long-standing KUH research collaborations within and between our institutions. Through the Administrative, Professional Development, Network, and Training (TL1) Cores, the overall vision is to create and nurture a multi-institutional community of trainees that is diverse, interdisciplinary, interconnected, and well equipped with skills to transform and advance scientific discovery. Specifically, Deep South KUH PRIME aims to: (1) Combine K, U, and H training activities in our institutions into a unified KUH training ecosystem; (2) identify, recruit and cultivate a diverse cohort of pre- and post-doctoral trainees committed to KUH research; (3) expand and develop innovative new opportunities for professional development; (4) create a vibrant trainee networking hub with peer-to-peer and near-peer mentoring; and (5) participate in the nationwide U2C/TL1 training network, including hosting regional and national meetings, establishing pipelines across institutions, and engaging regional partners to expand training efforts.
The Deep South KUH PRIME provides an unparalleled opportunity to build a new program that integrates the unique research strengths and training capacities offered by each of our institutions to immerse trainees of diverse backgrounds in an inter-connected network of team training, skill development, and community building, with cross-cutting themes that integrate shared interests and drives scientific advances in KUH research in the Deep South and across the country.
