DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Physicians who have completed a residency and perhaps a fellowship are usually superb clinicians, but generally are not well prepared to meet the research requirements of a career in academic medicine. This proposal describes a plan for a Male Reproductive Health Research (MRHR) program for internists, endocrinologists and/or urologists at the University of Washington. The major goal of this program is to provide the research training to enable young physicians to establish research careers as independent investigators. The principal training format proposed is a mentored experience with a successful investigator (clinical, translational or basic) for 2 to 5 years. During this time, the scholar (trainee) devotes most of his/her time to research projects, whereby he/she acquires the knowledge and skills to become independent and pursue a research intensive academic career. In addition, in the initial years of each scholar's research training, formal course work will be provided, as appropriate for the scholar's interests. This proposed MRHR program at the University of Washington has twelve mentors with extensive research experience and funding that collectively represent outstanding clinical, translational and basic science expertise in subject areas that directly relate to men's reproductive health. This is a multidisciplinary proposal in that the mentors have their primary expertise and appointments in the Departments of Medicine, Urology, Genome Sciences, Epidemiology, Pharmacology, Physiology and Biophysics and Obstetrics and Gynecology. Each proposed mentor has a record of excellence in research and documented experience in training young investigators. The Departments of Medicine and Urology will diligently recruit outside scholars, and, in addition, have a large internal pool of residents, fellows, and junior faculty members eager to compete for the scholar awards proposed here. The Medicine and Urology Departments and the School of Medicine at the University of Washington are prepared to make substantial commitments of resources and funding to support this proposed research program. The University of Washington is an ideal location for a career development program in male reproductive health. The University has a wealth of resources and experience in male reproductive research, and can provide many opportunities for scholars to embark on successful research careers, which will serve to foster new therapeutic breakthroughs in issues relevant to male reproductive health.

描述（由申请人提供）： 完成了住院医师资格和奖学金的医生通常是优秀的临床医生，但通常没有做好充分的准备，以满足学术医学职业生涯的研究要求。本提案描述了华盛顿大学内科医生、内分泌学家和/或泌尿科医生的男性生殖健康研究（MRHR）计划。该计划的主要目标是提供研究培训，使年轻的医生能够作为独立的研究人员建立研究事业。建议的主要培训形式是与成功的研究者（临床、翻译或基础）一起指导2至5年的经验。在此期间，学者（学员）将大部分时间用于研究项目，从而获得知识和技能，使其能够独立并追求研究密集型学术生涯。此外，在每个学者的研究培训的最初几年，将提供正式的课程工作，适当的学者的利益。华盛顿大学的这项拟议的MRHR计划有12名导师，他们具有丰富的研究经验和资金，共同代表了与男性生殖健康直接相关的学科领域的杰出临床，转化和基础科学专业知识。这是一个多学科的建议，因为导师在医学、泌尿学、基因组科学、流行病学、药理学、生理学和生物物理学以及妇产科等部门拥有主要的专业知识和任命。每一位被提议的导师都有出色的研究记录和培训年轻研究人员的记录经验。医学和泌尿外科部门将努力招募外部学者，此外，还有大量的居民，研究员和初级教师渴望竞争这里提出的学者奖。华盛顿大学医学院、泌尿科系和医学院准备提供大量资源和资金，以支持这项拟议的研究计划。华盛顿大学是男性生殖健康职业发展计划的理想场所。该大学在男性生殖研究方面拥有丰富的资源和经验，可以为学者提供许多机会，使他们能够从事成功的研究事业，这将有助于促进男性生殖健康相关问题的新的治疗突破。
