UCONN CENTER FOR INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH IN WOMEN'S H

在妇女健康跨学科研究（IRWH）的Uconn中心将协调和整合妇女健康的各种研究方案，现在存在于康涅狄格州健康中心，联合健康和妇女研究计划在斯托尔斯校园的学校。 目标是巩固目前在妇女健康研究方面的努力，以培训一批初级调查员，并将来自基础、临床和社会行为研究机构的调查员集中在一个结构下。 这种结构将大大加强康涅狄格大学的妇女健康研究。 拟议的方案借鉴了骨骼和骨骼生物学的研究优势;成瘾和心理健康;生殖健康和性传播疾病;和性别角色。 教师导师已确定在基础，临床和社会行为科学提供研究密集型的经验，在这些集中的领域。 有一些鲜明的特点：1）强大的领导，利用性别，指导培训和既定的研究计划的专业知识; 2）一个既定的妇女研究计划; 3）培养教师的培育环境; 4）优秀的现有研究培训计划，包括MD/博士和DMD/博士课程;在生物医学科学的研究生培训计划;由一般临床研究中心（GCRC）主办的临床研究课程;康州大学老龄化临床研究培训计划中心作为其老年医学奖学金的一部分;公共卫生硕士课程;牙科科学硕士;精神病学系成瘾研究博士后项目，5）通过研究战略计划计划扩大研究基础设施。 培训方案将包括妇女健康核心强化经验和三个培训轨道。 该核心包括一个月刊俱乐部、一系列妇女健康研讨会、妇女健康年度会议和全球癌症研究中心临床研究课程，该课程讨论负责任地开展研究的问题。 培训课程包括经验丰富的研究人员，研究经验有限的学者;和学位课程。 IRWH学者将每季度与IRWH项目主任会面，并由他们指定的导师每两年进行一次评估，以监测培训计划的进展情况。

The Uconn Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Women's Health (IRWH) will coordinate and integrate the diverse research programs in women's health that now exist at the University of Connecticut Health Center, the School of Allied Health and the Women's Studies Program at the Storrs campus. The goal is to consolidate current efforts in women health research to train a cadre of junior investigators and to bring together investigators from basic, clinical and socio-behavioral research settings under one structure. Such a structure will substantially enhance women's health research at the University of Connecticut. The proposed program draws on research strengths in bone and skeletal biology; the addictions and mental health; reproductive health and sexually transmitted diseases; and gender roles. Faculty mentors have been identified in the basic, clinical and socio- behavioral sciences to provide research-intensive experience in these areas of concentration. There are a number of distinctive features: 1) Strong leadership that draws on expertise in gender, mentored training and established research programs; 2) An established Women's Studies Program; 3) A nurturing environment for developing faculty; 4) Excellent existing research training programs, including the MD/PhD and DMD/PhD programs; graduate training program in the Biomedical Sciences; the Clinical Research Curriculum sponsored by the General Clinical Research Center (GCRC); the Uconn Center on Aging clinical research training program as part of its Geriatrics Fellowship; Master of Public Health Programs; Master of Dental Science; the Department of Psychiatry postdoctoral program in addiction research, 5) Planned expansion of the research infrastructure through the Strategic Plan for Research. The training program will consist of a Core Enrichment Experience in Women's Health and three training tracks. The Core includes a monthly journal club, a seminar series in women's health, annual conferences on women's health and the GCRC Clinical Research Course, which addresses responsible conduct of research. Training Tracks include Experienced Investigator, Scholar with Limited Research Experience; and Degree Track. IRWH Scholars will meet quarterly with IRWH program directors and will be evaluated bi-annually by their assigned mentors to monitors progress in the training program.
