Pre and Post- Doctoral Fellowships
NIH-funded training grant pre- and post-doctoral fellowships are available for research training in the areas broadly related to Kidney, Urology, and non-malignant Hematology diseases. Trainees will pursue up to two years of independent research in the laboratory of an established research scientist, under the direction of a faculty mentor at Augusta University (AU), Tulane University (TU), or The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB).
Core Programs
The Administrative Core will be the center of the organizational structure & governance of KUH PRIME. It will leverage the collaborative spirit & established relationships between kidney, urology, & non-malignant hematology scientists to form a cohesive institutional training network.
The Training Core supports KUH PRIME trainees who represent a broad spectrum of scientific interests. We provide training in interdisciplinary & translational research that ensures pre- & post-doctoral trainees will learn the skills & knowledge to successfully transition to the next steps of their careers in KUH research.
The Professional Development Core’s main focus is to motivate & sustain the next generation of scientific leaders. We have created an immersive, individualized, interdisciplinary, and integrated core that provides personalized mentoring, inspirational career forums, research training institutes, & leadership development.
The Network Core’s overall goal is to provide KUH PRIME scholars strategies to help develop their networking & communication skills & apply them to a range of networking opportunities.
