Career Enhancement Core - CEC

性别和年龄差异在免疫力的EQUENZA（SADII）职业生涯增强核心 总结 SADII职业提升核心（CEC）将由Wendy班尼特博士与 约翰霍普金斯妇女健康、性和性别研究中心。SADII CEC将提供集成的 职业发展机会，临床，翻译和基础科学家研究性别差异， 约翰霍普金斯大学社区。将通过以下具体目标实现这一目标： 是提供一个广泛的，跨学科的既定研究人员和初级教师与合作组， 网络，传播和指导机会，使他们掌握新的方法，技能， 性别和性别差异研究的跨学科观点;目标2将提供试点赠款 为早期研究人员提供资金（即，助理教授或以下级别的研究人员， 强调候选人的多样性），有兴趣将性别差异纳入其临床，翻译， 或免疫学的广泛领域中的基础科学研究（例如，哮喘和过敏，自身免疫，癌症， 传染病、炎症、微生物组、疫苗）;目标3将是整合教育机会 侧重于教授将性别作为生物变量和性别平等纳入 在规划、分析和报告数据时，以及在广泛的研究传播活动中， 一系列现有的培训计划（例如KL 2和BIRCWH计划）;目标4将是评估 * 南部非洲发展第二阶段中央教育委员会在扩大学习机会、传播性和性别研究方面的效力， 导师和资助的研究。约翰霍普金斯大学拥有强大的研究密集型环境， 表明致力于BIRCWH和其他妇女健康和性/性别研究和培训 机会我们预计，SADII CEC将促进以下领域研究的扩展： 生物医学科学中的性别/性别差异，并支持多样化研究人员和领导者的成长 致力于在设计和实施其正在进行的 未来的研究。

SEX AND AGE DIFFERENCES IN IMMUNITY TO INFLUENZA (SADII) CAREER ENHANCEMENT CORE SUMMARY The SADII Career Enhancement Core (CEC) will be led by to Dr. Wendy Bennett in collaboration with the Johns Hopkins Center for Women’s Health, Sex, and Gender Research. The SADII CEC will provide integrated career enhancement opportunities to clinical, translational, and basic scientists studying sex differences within the Johns Hopkins University community. This goal will be met through the following specific aims: Aim 1 will be to provide a broad, interdisciplinary group of established investigators and junior faculty with collaboration, networking, dissemination, and mentoring opportunities to equip them with new approaches, skills, and interdisciplinary perspectives in sex and gender differences research; Aim 2 will be to provide pilot grant funding for early stage investigators (i.e., investigators at the level of Assistant Professor or below, with emphasis on diversity of candidates) interested in incorporating sex differences into their clinical, translational, or basic science research in the broad area of immunology (e.g., asthma and allergy, autoimmunity, cancer, infectious diseases, inflammation, microbiome, vaccines); Aim 3 will be to integrate educational opportunities focused on teaching skills and methods for incorporating sex as a biological variable and gender considerations when planning, analyzing, and reporting data, and research dissemination activities into a broad range of existing training programs (e.g. KL2 and BIRCWH programs); and Aim 4 will be to evaluate the effectiveness of the SADII CEC in expanding learning opportunities, dissemination of sex and gender research, mentorship, and funded research. Johns Hopkins has a strong, research-intensive environment, and has demonstrated commitment to the BIRCWH and other women’s health and sex/gender research and training opportunities. We anticipate that the SADII CEC will catalyze the expansion of research in the area of sex/gender differences in biomedical science, and support the growth of diverse investigators and leaders committed to the consideration of sex as a biologic variable in the design and conduct of their ongoing and future studies.
