描述(由申请人提供)：本提案旨在颁发为期五年的K24职业中期发展奖，以表彰Victoria Fraser医学博士在传染病(ID)和医疗保健流行病学方面以患者为中心的研究和指导。在完成传染病研究基金后的13年半里，Fraser博士在来自CDC、NIOSH、HRSA和AHRQ的11年多的独立资助下，在华盛顿大学建立了成功的临床研究生涯。她在职业性结核病和血液传播病原体暴露、医院感染的风险因素和结果、减少医院感染的成功干预措施的开发以及患者安全方面的研究贡献得到了国际认可。她有长期的成功辅导记录，因此获得了学术妇女网络辅导奖，并经常被邀请就辅导和职业发展发表演讲。她曾担任超过25名ID学员的主要导师，其中一半是女性。她的学员中有三人获得了NIH K23职业发展奖，三人获得了K奖，目前正在审查中。她与学员共同撰写了50多篇手稿。她还为学员开发了开始临床研究职业生涯、平衡职业和家庭、手稿写作、拨款撰写和指导的具体课程。弗雷泽博士申请这一奖项是为了将50%的时间用于指导和开发专注于乳腺癌手术感染性并发症的新研究，并为自己的职业发展选修课程。这一奖项将使她能够减少她的行政和临床责任，以便为指导和研究留出更多受保护的时间。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is for a five year K24 Mid-Career Development Award for patient oriented research and mentoring for Victoria Fraser MD in infectious disease (ID) and healthcare epidemiology. In the 13 and a half years since completing her infectious disease fellowship, Dr. Fraser has established a successful clinical research career at Washington University with over 11 years of independent funding from CDC, NIOSH, HRSA, and AHRQ. She is internationally recognized for her research contributions in occupational TB and blood borne pathogen exposures, risk factors and outcomes of nosocomial infections, development of successful interventions to reduce nosocomial infections, and patient safety. She has a long track record of successful mentoring resulting in receipt of the Academic Women's Network Mentoring Award and frequent invitations to speak on mentoring and career development. She has served as the primary mentor for over 25 ID trainees, half of whom are female. Three of her trainees have NIH K23 Career Development Awards and three have K awards currently under review. She has over 50 manuscripts co-authored with her trainees. She has also developed specific coursework for trainees on beginning clinical research careers, balancing careers and family, manuscript writing, grant writing and mentoring. Dr. Fraser is requesting this award to dedicate 50% time to mentoring, development of new research focused on the infectious complications of breast cancer surgery, and to take coursework for her own career development. This award will allow her to decrease her administrative and clinical responsibilities to allow more protected time for mentoring and research.
