Detroit Reproductive Career Development Research Center

描述(由申请者提供)：拟议培训计划的总体目标是继续培养能够在与女性生殖健康相关的基础、翻译和/或临床研究方面保持独立职业生涯的内科科学家。在韦恩州立大学，机构对此的承诺历来很强，导致了强大的研究和培训环境，现在包括NIH的围产期研究分部。妇女和儿童健康已被西苏里州立大学校长列为该大学的三个主要研究重点之一。咨询委员会将从具有明显兴趣和研究经验的候选人(地方和国家)中挑选学者，特别强调那些代表人数不足的群体。在本支助期内取得的经验使甄选标准更加明确。任何时候都将招收四名奖学金获得者，预计将有六人在所要求的资助期内完成拟议的培训。有六个培训目标：1)提供选定的课程/讲座/研讨会，以完成学者在#年就业的准备 独立研究；2)提供所需的辅助技能和资源，以优化每位学者的工作效率并满足其个人需求；3)为每位学者提供与其长期研究兴趣相关的指导研究经验(至少75%的努力)；4)使每位学者承担负责任的研究工作；5)确保每位学者能够撰写竞争性的拨款申请；以及6)主动将每位学者与在学者研究领域杰出的资深、知名的研究人员联系起来。咨询委员会对该方案的定期评价将包括对过程和结果的客观分析。咨询委员会成员还将协助学者与资深调查人员建立联系。可用于培训学者的经验丰富的外部资助导师队伍提供了坚实的基础和临床研究基础，涵盖了与妇女健康相关的广泛当代研究。这些研究人员将得到广泛的同样现代的、复杂的临床和研究资源的补充。学者将在他们明显达到研究独立时完成他们的培训，客观地衡量他们是否有能力成功地竞争独立的拨款资助。韦恩州立大学致力于通过终身教职任命来留住和奖励成功的学者。总体而言，该计划预计将对国家妇女健康研究的能力做出实质性贡献。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall objective of the proposed training program is to continue development of physician-scientists who can sustain independent careers in basic, translational and/or clinical research related to women's reproductive health. Institutional commitment to doing so is historically strong at Wayne State University, resulting in a strong research and training environment that now includes NIH's Perinatology Research Branch. Women's and children's health has been included by WSU's president as one of the University's three primary research foci. Selection of Scholars by an Advisory Committee will be from a pool of candidates (local and national) with demonstrated interest and prior experience in research, placing particular emphasis on those from underrepresented groups. Selection criteria have been sharpened by experience gained during the current period of support. Four Scholars will be enrolled at any one time, with the expectation that six will complete the proposed training during the requested period of funding. There are six training aims: 1) Provide selected coursework / lectures / seminars to complete preparation of Scholars for careers in independent research; 2) Provide ancillary skills and resources needed to optimize the work efficiency of each Scholar and meet his/her individual requirements; 3) Provide each Scholar with a mentored research experience relevant to his/her long-term research interest (at least 75% effort); 4) Ground each Scholar in the responsible conduct of research; 5) Assure that each Scholar can write a competitive grant application; and 6) Proactively network each Scholar with senior, well-established investigators prominent in the Scholar's field of research. Regular evaluation of the program by the Advisory Committee will include objective analysis of both process and outcome. Members of the Advisory Committee will also assist in networking Scholars with established senior investigators. The cadre of experienced, extramurally funded mentors available to train Scholars provides a firm basic and clinical research base that spans the broad spectrum of contemporary research that is relevant to women's health. These investigators will be complemented by a wide range of equally contemporary, sophisticated clinical and research resources. Scholars will complete their training when they have demonstrably reached research independence, objectively measured by such criteria as ability to compete successfully for independent grant support. Wayne State University is committed to retaining and rewarding successful Scholars through tenure-track faculty appointments. Overall, the program is expected to contribute substantively to the nation's capacity for women's health research.
