This application is in response to RFA HD-99-91, inviting institutional applications for Women's Reproductive Health Research (WRHR) Career Development Centers. The University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry has had a long tradition of excellence in the training of clinical and basic researchers. Currently, there are 26 federally-funded training grants within the School supporting 149 trainees. Across time, The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology has had NIH funding to provide research training to six-obstetrician-gynecologists in research who have gone on to have successful academic careers, has trained more than 20 Ph.D. candidates., and has provided a variety of research training opportunities to international ob-gyn physicians. Significant investment in faculty recruitment and research facilities in the Department makes this an opportune time for it to initiate career research training for obstetrician-gynecologists. Our specific aims are to: successfully recruit excellent WRHR Scholars; produce obstetrician- gynecologist investigators who, regardless of their specific research area, are well-grounded in a core of knowledge, methods, techniques and ethical conduct concerning clinical and/or laboratory research; build on this core curriculum by developing a mentored research training program for obstetrician gynecologists that will enable them to function as independent scientific investigators addressing basic, clinical, and/or translational research questions to benefit the reproductive health of women; cultivate faculty in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, through the WRHR Center, who will add to a critical mass of departmental research faculty; and assess the curriculum in terms of meetings its education objectives, including the productivity of the Scholars enrolled, their subsequent entry into ob-gyn research careers, and their successful progression in those careers. To accomplish these specific aims, the Rochester WRHR Center curriculum will consist of four components: (1) A core curriculum of knowledge areas, research skills and attitudes about research; (2) Supplemental courses constituting a clinical science or basic science core; (3) Research seminars and workshops; and (4) specialized courses and mentored research in six specific research areas. Mentors in each of the research areas have NIH funding and an extensive research history. Seven of the 11 mentors are Ob-Gyn faculty. The Chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology will be principal investigator and the Department's Director of Research will be Program Director. An Advisory Committee of 8 individuals will oversee the Center and two outside reviewers will be incorporated into the assessment process.

此申请是对RFA HD-99-91的响应，邀请机构申请妇女生殖健康研究(WRHR)职业发展中心。罗切斯特大学医学和牙科学院在临床和基础研究人员的培训方面有着悠久的卓越传统。目前，学校内有26笔由联邦政府资助的培训补助金，支持149名受训人员。长期以来，美国国立卫生研究院一直资助国家卫生研究院为6名从事研究的妇产科医生提供研究培训，培养了20多名博士生，并为国际妇产科医生提供了各种研究培训机会。在教员招聘和研究设施方面的重大投资使该系现在是开始对妇产科医生进行职业研究培训的好时机。我们的具体目标是：成功招募优秀的WRHR学者；培养产科-妇科研究员，无论他们的具体研究领域是什么，都在关于临床和/或实验室研究的知识、方法、技术和道德行为的核心方面有很好的基础；通过为产科医生开发一个有指导的研究培训计划，使他们能够作为独立的科学调查人员，处理基础、临床和/或转化性研究问题，以有益于妇女的生殖健康；通过WRHR中心培养产科和妇科的教员，他们将增加科室研究人员的关键质量；并评估课程是否符合其教育目标，包括被录取的学者的生产力、他们随后进入妇产科研究职业以及他们在这些职业中的成功进步。为了实现这些具体目标，罗切斯特人力资源中心的课程将由四个部分组成：(1)关于知识领域、研究技能和研究态度的核心课程；(2)构成临床科学或基础科学核心的补充课程；(3)研究研讨会和讲习班；以及(4)六个特定研究领域的专门课程和指导研究。每个研究领域的导师都有国立卫生研究院的资助和广泛的研究历史。11位导师中有7位是妇产科教师。妇产科主任将担任首席研究员，妇产科研究部主任将担任项目主任。一个由8人组成的咨询委员会将监督该中心，两名外部审查员将纳入评估过程。
