Career Enhancement Core - CEC

流感免疫力(SADII)职业提升核心的性别和年龄差异 摘要 SADII职业提升核心(CEC)将由Wendy Bennett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 为研究性别差异的临床、翻译和基础科学家提供职业提升机会 约翰霍普金斯大学社区。这一目标将通过以下具体目标实现：目标1将 为一个由资深研究人员和初级教员组成的广泛的跨学科小组提供合作， 网络、传播和指导机会，使他们掌握新的方法、技能和 性别和性别差异研究的跨学科视角；目标2将提供试点资助 为早期调查人员(即助理教授或以下级别的调查人员)提供经费 强调候选人的多样性)有兴趣将性别差异融入他们的临床、翻译、 或免疫学广泛领域的基础科学研究(例如，哮喘和过敏、自身免疫、癌症、 传染病、炎症、微生物群、疫苗)；目标3将是整合教育机会 重点讲授将性作为生物变量和性别纳入的技能和方法 规划、分析和报告数据以及广泛的研究传播活动时应考虑的事项 现有培训方案的范围(例如KL2和BIRCWH方案)；目标4将评估 SADII CEC在扩大学习机会、传播性和性别研究方面的成效， 指导和资助研究。约翰霍普金斯大学拥有强大的研究密集型环境，并拥有 表示致力于妇幼保健院和其他妇女的健康以及性/性别研究和培训 机遇。我们预计SADII CEC将促进在以下领域的研究的扩大 生物医学科学中的性别/性别差异，并支持不同研究人员和领导者的成长 致力于将性别作为一个生物变量考虑在设计和实施其持续和 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.
