The University of Kentucky’s (UK) BIRCWH program is built around three pillars: mentoring, interdisciplinary research, and career development. Given the significant health challenges in Kentucky, we focus on three areas of important health disparity for Appalachian Kentuckians: 1) substance use, 2) violence against women, and 3) lifespan changes in health with aging. UK BIRCWH objectives are: 1) to provide the environment, mentorship, and facilities to enhance the ability of BIRCWH scholars to compete for NIH research grants in diverse areas of women’s health research, 2) to deepen our understanding of the unique role of sex and gender in the manifestation of health and disease, 3) to develop and implement new communication and social networking technologies to address sex and gender differences and improve women’s health, 4) to personalize prevention, diagnostics, and therapeutics to address health disparities, 5) to stimulate new collaborations in focused, interdisciplinary, and interactive research areas that are essential for uncovering sex and gender differences and improving women’s health; and 6) to use a thematic multidisciplinary focus as a platform for enhancing translational research between basic, clinical and public health scientists. Our formal framework for ‘growing the next generation’ of women’s health and sex differences researchers includes a mentoring team for each Scholar composed of: 1) experienced faculty members (Mentors) and 2) a former BIRCWH scholar (Coach). This mentoring team will collectively provide in-depth research experiences and didactic training to assistant professor, tenure-track faculty. Career development will also include mechanisms for accountability for manuscript submissions, workshops on grant development, and aspects of academic development such as personnel management, negotiation skills, self-care, and promotion. UK BIRCWH Scholar appointments will be 2 years for PhD and 3 years for MD scholars. Based on our prior experience, we anticipate training 8 scholars over 5 years of funding. Outcomes: Since 2000, 40 Scholars have completed BIRCWH training (17 MDs, 23 PhDs), who have produced 1,712 peer-reviewed publications, secured $41,636,782 in NIH funding as PI, and $239,982,415 as Co-I or PI from other external sources. UK has retained 57% of our BIRCWH graduates who continue active research programs, and support BIRCWH as Coaches and Mentors. Given this success, why should UK’s BIRCWH funding continue? Succinctly, Kentucky’s need continues. Our rates of substance use, violence, and chronic disease (3 foci) are among this nation’s highest. With BIRCWH funding, we can support those who will address the health inequities Kentuckians and others across the nation still face.

肯塔基大学（UK）BIRCWH计划建造了三个支柱：心理， 跨学科研究和职业发展。考虑到重大健康挑战 肯塔基州，我们专注于阿巴拉契亚肯塔基人重要健康差异的三个领域：1） 药物使用，2）对妇女的暴力行为，以及3）随着衰老的寿命改变。英国 Bircwh目标是：1）提供环境，指导和设施以增强 BIRCWH学者在女性的潜水员领域竞争NIH研究补助金的能力 健康研究，2）加深我们对性别和性别在 健康和疾病的表现，3）开发和实施新的交流和 社交网络技术以解决性别和性别差异并改善妇女 健康，4）个性化预防，诊断和治疗以解决健康分布， 5）刺激集中，跨学科和互动研究领域的新合作 这对于发现性别和性别差异并改善妇女的健康至关重要；和 6）使用主题多学科重点作为增强转化研究的平台 在基础，临床和公共卫生科学家之间。我们的正式框架“生长下一个 研究人员的女性健康和性别差异包括一个心理团队 每个学者由：1）经验丰富的教师（导师）和2）以前的Bircwh Schoolar（教练）。这个心理团队将共同提供深入的研究经验 并为终身教师助理教授进行教学培训。职业发展也将 包括有关手稿提交的责任的机制，赠款的讲习班 发展和学术发展的各个方面，例如人事管理，谈判 技能，自我保健和晋升。英国BIRC学者的任命为2年，博士学位和 MD学者3年。根据我们先前的经验，我们预计培训8个学者超过5个学者 多年的资金。成果：自2000年以来，有40名学者完成了BIRCWH培训（17个学者 MDS，23个博士学位），生产了1,712个同行评审的出版物，获得了41,636,782美元 NIH作为PI的资金，以及来自其他外部来源的Co-I或Pi的239,982,415美元。英国保留了 我们57％的BIRCWH毕业生继续积极研究计划，并支持Bircwh 作为教练和导师。鉴于这一成功，为什么英国的Bircwh资金应该继续？ 简洁地，肯塔基州的需求仍在继续。我们的药物使用率，暴力和慢性病 （3个焦点）是该国最高的。有了Bircwh的资金，我们可以支持那些 解决肯塔基州和全国其他人的健康不平等问题仍然面临。
