Training and education

The Division of Nephrology and Hypertension Research facilitates world-class nephrology education, producing the next generation of expert nephrology and hypertension scientists and healthcare professionals.

Training and education opportunities include:

Kidney Disease Research Training Program

The Kidney Disease Research Training Program supports postdoctoral research in the division. This training grant program, which has been sponsored by the National Institutes of Health since 1975, prepares scientists for careers in academic nephrology and basic renal sciences.

KUH-GENERATOR Program

This collaborative initiative between Mayo Clinic and the University of Wisconsin — Madison aims to train the next generation of researchers in the kidney, urology and hematology (KUH) fields by providing immersive interdisciplinary training that spans the full academic spectrum. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases funds the program.

The program includes predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees. It focuses on career preparation, networking and research training to build a robust, interdisciplinary pipeline of future biomedical researchers.

Michael F. Romero, Ph.D., is the program director. For more information about this program, email Dr. Romero.
