Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's H

描述（由申请人提供）：杜克大学/北卡罗莱纳中央大学（NCCU）“建立妇女健康跨学科研究事业”（BIRCHW）项目的长期目标是：(1)通过向对解决重要问题感兴趣的新研究者提供研究方法方面的培训和经验，为改善妇女健康做出贡献；(2)鼓励研究者通过跨学科培训和合作，利用广泛的智力资本，培养解决这些问题的创新方法；(3)建立杜克大学和美国国立理工大学在妇女健康研究方面的领导能力；(4)成为两所大学广泛的跨学科研究培训和合作的典范。该计划将通过实现以下具体目标来实现这些目标：(1)为广泛学科的初级教师提供妇女健康研究方面的教学和实践培训，重点关注4个广泛领域：临床试验和结果、决策、健康差异以及基础和转化研究；(2)以现有的跨学科教师关系为基础，促进富有成效和创新的合作；(3)在杜克大学和北大学院之间建立新的跨学科研究关系；(4)为杜克大学对女性健康感兴趣的研究人员社区之间的思想、方法和见解的持续交流提供额外的机制；(5)为致力于该项目的长期目标的初级教师提供招聘和职业发展机制；(6)通过鼓励和促进临床医生和非临床医生研究人员之间的互动，提高教师的整体研究效率。该计划的受训者将有至少2年的指导研究培训，包括每周关于研究方法和职业发展主题的研讨会，同行评审和拨款写作的经验，以及与高级教师研究导师合作完成至少一个项目。学员将被要求在项目结束前完成并提交至少一份独立研究培训申请。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term goals of the Duke/North Carolina Central University (NCCU) "Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health" (BIRCHW) program are (1) to contribute to improvement in women's health by providing training and experience in research methodology to new investigators interested in addressing important questions, (2) to foster innovative approaches to these questions by encouraging investigators to utilize the wide range of intellectual capital available through interdisciplinary training and collaboration, (3) to build the capacity of Duke and NCCU to provide leadership in women's health research, and (4) to serve as a model for broad-based interdisciplinary research training and collaboration for both universities. The program will reach these objectives by achieving the following specific aims: (1) providing didactic and practical training in the conduct of research in women's health for junior faculty across a broad spectrum of disciplines, focusing on 4 broad areas: Clinical Trials and Outcomes, Decision Making, Health Disparities, and Basic and Translational Research; (2) building upon existing interdisciplinary faculty relationships to foster productive and innovative collaborations; (3) creating new interdisciplinary research relationships between Duke and NCCU faculty; (4) providing additional mechanisms for the ongoing exchange of ideas, methods, and insights among the community of researchers at Duke interested in women's health; (5) providing a mechanism for recruitment and career development of junior faculty committed to the long-term goals of the program; and (6) enhancing overall research productivity of faculty by encouraging and facilitating interaction between clinician and non-clinician researchers. Trainees in the program will have a minimum of 2 years of mentored research training, including weekly seminars on research methods and career development topics, experience in peer review and grant writing, and completion of at least one project working in conjunction with a senior faculty research mentor. Trainees will be expected to complete and submit at least one application for independent research training by the end of their time in the program.
