DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a proposal for a Women's Health and Aging: Clinical Scientist Development Program at the University of Wisconsin. The intent is to develop a cadre of researchers in the area of older women's health who are excellent scientists imbued with an interdisciplinary perspective, effective communicators, and managers of independent research programs. This program will provide salary support to young investigators at a critical juncture in their successful research careers. It will integrate well with the K30 Clinical Investigator Preparatory Pathway, which provides tuition support but not salary and with other training programs in older women's health that support research training below the junior faculty level. Indeed, the K12 is the next logical step in the systematic development of academic programs in women's health at the University of Wisconsin, and establishing this program meets one of the objectives of the NIA funded Women's Health Academic Leadership Award. The program, administered through the Center for Women's Health, will assure that each K12 investigator achieve the six core competencies needed to be an independent researcher: 1) research excellence, 2) statistics and study design, 3) research ethics, 4) leadership/management, 5) presentation and teaching, and 6) scientific writing. This will be accomplished through development of an individualized learning plan in conjunction with an intensive research experience with outstanding mentors. It will include a flexible didactic curriculum and guidance from a Leadership Team. Research mentors are active investigators in either The Basic Biology of Menopause and Post Menopausal Diseases or Clinical, Socio-demographic, and Epidemiologic Research in Mid- and Late-Life Aging Women with enormous potential for translational research and fertile interdisciplinary dialogue. All research mentors are in areas of investigation cited as priorities by the NIA in its Guide to Research and Training, July 2000. Both K12 investigators and the training program will be evaluated by multiple methods with the goal of continuous improvement. Aligned with the NIA's goals, considerable resources will be devoted to ensuring a diverse group of mentored scientists including a "grow your own" strategy for underrepresented minority investigators. Because women's health research draws predominantly women investigators, this program also addresses the NIH workforce priority of developing women leaders in biomedical and behavioral research.

描述(由申请者提供)：这是一份威斯康星大学女性健康与老龄化：临床科学家发展计划的提案。其目的是培养一支老年妇女健康领域的研究人员队伍，他们是具有跨学科视角的优秀科学家、有效的沟通者和独立研究项目的管理者。这项计划将为年轻研究人员在他们成功的研究生涯的关键时刻提供工资支持。它将与K30临床研究人员预备课程很好地结合在一起，该课程提供学费支持，但不提供工资，并与其他支持初级教员水平以下研究培训的老年妇女健康培训计划相结合。事实上，K12是威斯康星大学女性健康学术项目系统发展的下一个合乎逻辑的步骤，建立这个项目符合NIA资助的女性健康学术领袖奖的目标之一。 该计划由妇女健康中心管理，将确保每一名K12研究员具备成为独立研究人员所需的六项核心能力：1)卓越的研究，2)统计和研究设计，3)研究道德，4)领导/管理，5)陈述和教学，6)科学写作。这将通过制定个性化的学习计划以及与杰出导师的深入研究经验相结合来实现。它将包括灵活的教学课程和领导团队的指导。研究导师是更年期和绝经后疾病的基础生物学或中老年妇女的临床、社会人口学和流行病学研究的积极调查人员，具有巨大的转换研究和丰富的跨学科对话的潜力。所有研究导师都在调查领域，NIA在2000年7月的《研究和培训指南》中将其列为优先事项。K12调查人员和培训计划都将以持续改进为目标，通过多种方法进行评估。与NIA的目标保持一致，将投入大量资源，以确保有一个多样化的受指导科学家群体，包括为代表性不足的少数族裔调查人员制定的“自己成长”战略。由于女性健康研究吸引的主要是女性研究人员，该项目还解决了NIH劳动力优先考虑的问题，即培养生物医学和行为研究领域的女性领导者。
