BUILDING INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH CAREERS IN WOMEN'S H

建立妇女健康跨学科研究事业中心的总体主题将是培训研究人员，特别是医生/科学家成为妇女健康相关研究的独立调查者。该计划将是一个跨越部门障碍的机构计划，将包括发育生物学、分子遗传学、细胞生物学、行为科学、心血管科学、妇女癌症相关问题、临床药理学、转化和临床调查研究以及卫生服务研究等学科。没有核心实验室的要求，因为这些设施将提供给教师导师所在部门的学者或机构核心设施。培训分为三个阶段，培训医生/调查员，机构资金将用于前两个阶段，BIRCWH中心的赠款将仅用于第三阶段。当学者们获得像ROI这样具有竞争力的独立同行评审资金时，将决定该计划的成功。BIRCWH中心的影响将不仅仅局限于新项目发展奖获得者，也将被加州大学洛杉矶分校的教职员工感受到。这将有助于招募医科学生、医务人员和研究员参与与妇女健康有关的基础、临床和保健服务调查研究。鉴于该中心活动的多学科方法，我们预计，作为导师池一部分的其他系的教师导师将更好地了解与妇女健康有关的问题，并在以后形成一个核心，为在加州大学洛杉矶分校建立妇女健康研究和培训中心。

The overall theme of the Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health (BIRCWH) Center will be to train researchers, especially physicians/scientists to be independent investigators in research related to Women's Health. This program will be an institutional program crossing departmental barriers and will include the disciplines of developmental biology, molecular genetics, cell biology, behavioral sciences, cardiovascular sciences, women's cancer-related problems, clinical pharmacology, translational and clinical investigative research, as well as Health Services research. No core laboratory is being requested as these facilities will be made available for use to scholars in departments where the faculty mentors are situated or institutional core facilities. The training is divided into three phases to train physicians/investigators and institutional funds will be made available for the first two phases and BIRCWH Center grant will be utilized only for the third phase. The success of the program will be determined when the scholars obtain competitive independent peer reviewed funding like the ROI. The impact of the BIRCWH Center will extend beyond the New Program Development Awardees and will also be felt by the faculty members at UCLA. This will facilitate the recruitment of medical students, house officers and fellows into investigative basic, clinical and Health Services research related to Women's Health. In view of the multidisciplinary approach of the activities of the Center, we anticipate that faculty mentors from other departments who are a part of the mentor pool will better appreciate the problems related to Women's Health and later form a nucleus for the establishment of a Women's Health Research and Training Center at UCLA.
