View Award Description

The University of Pittsburgh Summer Research Internship Program kidney workshop (SRIP-Kid) - Acute and chronic kidney diseases are becoming increasingly alarming health care concerns. Acute kidney injury (AKI), affecting 20% of hospitalized patients and nearly 50% of patients in the ICU, significantly increases risks of morbidity and mortality as well as risks for chronic kidney disease (CKD). Furthermore, 1 out of every 7 Americans or over 35 million Americans have CKD (with higher numbers every year), leading to an estimated annual health care costs of $100 billion; end-stage renal disease (ESRD) affects over 808,000 Americans, accounting for an addition $37 billion of cost. Moreover, there are few therapies for AKI or CKD and only palliative treatments for ESRD, namely dialysis or kidney transplantation. While bladder, prostate and other urinary tract diseases cost Americans nearly $11 billion a year. Unfortunately, there is large unmet need to train the next generation of kidney and urology-based researchers to develop new and effective treatments and cures for the myriad of diseases. The University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine is ideally positioned to educate and mentor undergraduates to become MD clinician-scientists and/or PhD scientists focused on kidney and urology research. The Summer Research Internship Program kidney workshop (SRIP-KID) is the flagship kidney program at the University of Pittsburgh. The SRIP-KID program leverages the existing infrastructure of the Pittsburgh O’Brien Kidney center, the new PCT-KUH: Pittsburgh center for training in kidney, urology and hematology and UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh summer undergraduate programs to recruit, select and train bright undergraduates to focus on kidney research. During the first iteration (2020-2025) of the grant the SRIP-KID program trained a total of 39 students, with the vast majority of these students continuing in the sciences and medical fields. The program emphasized students without prior research experience to increase the breadth and appeal of the program. In the second iteration of the grant the SRIP-KID students will perform research for 8-weeks over the summer, during which they will engage in innovative educational activities. We request continuation of funds to provide room, board and a stipend to our bright SRIP-KID undergraduate students who will work with mentors across the spectrum of basic, translation and clinical kidney-based research. The University of Pittsburgh has many investigators across multiple departments with NIH funded track records of kidney and urology-based research including laboratory based, translational and patient oriented research. Currently, the University of Pittsburgh ranks 3rd in NIDDK dollars, with kidney-focused investigators in Medicine, Pediatrics and Critical Care Medicine contributing to the program. These same investigators also have strong track records of mentoring. The pool of undergraduates will come from students at universities across the country. This program will be administered jointly by the Division of Pediatric Nephrology and the Adult Renal-Electrolyte Division at the University of Pittsburgh.
