Tulane BIRCWH

描述(由申请人提供)：拟议的杜兰BIRCWH计划致力于促进妇女健康研究和随后的研究成果的转移。为了提高妇女健康研究的质量和数量，杜兰国际妇女研究中心建议在高级培训和研究独立性之间架起一座桥梁，并将专业、科学学科和选定学者感兴趣的领域联系起来。贯穿各个研究领域的共同主题是以患者为导向的关于女性心血管疾病(CVD)和高血压的研究，特别是在非裔美国女性中。路易斯安那州迫切需要解决女性心血管健康问题，特别是在奥尔良教区，那里的人口主要是非裔美国人，根据当地和全国数据，这是一个极高风险的亚群。Tulane BIRCWH的重点将包括与女性心血管疾病和高血压有关的基础、翻译、临床和健康行为和健康服务。拟议的计划将设在杜兰·泽维尔国家妇女健康英才中心(TUXCOE)内，该中心是卫生与公众服务部妇女健康办公室下属的仅有的14个国家英才中心之一。因此，杜兰天主教大学将加强与泽维尔大学的现有合作，该大学是美国历史上唯一的黑人天主教学院和大学，为两所大学的初级学院提供跨学科的研究培训机会。杜兰研究所的行政结构包括一名首席调查员(PT)、一名联合首席调查员(Co-PI)和一个咨询委员会。TUHSC高级副总裁Paul Whelton医学硕士担任PI，杜兰·泽维尔国家妇女健康卓越中心主任Jeanette H.Magnus医学博士担任共同PI。Magnus博士将担任杜兰BIRCWH的联合PI和项目主任(PD)。Whelton博士和Magnus博士在妇女健康、心血管疾病、指导计划以及跨学科计划等领域贡献了丰富而中肯的经验。Tulane BIRCWH咨询委员会成员都代表了TUHSC的广泛领导和研究专长，他们将极大地补充PI和共同PI/PD，以确保Tulane BIRCWH未来的方案成功和影响。此外，一个完整的建议导师团队将为学员提供现有的研究项目，包括广泛的基础和应用生物医学、行为科学和卫生服务研究，以及TUHSC内的学校。除现有的杜兰全球妇女健康研究中心外，拟议的妇女健康资源实验室将补充这些高素质和敬业的管理人员和导师，以弥合完成培训与IWHR学者研究妇女健康问题的独立职业之间的差距。Tulane BIRCWH深思熟虑的广度和活力确保了项目团队，包括合作的部门、中心和研究所，形成了必要的跨专业、智力和技术研究基础，以提供培养该项目试图培养的高素质女性健康研究人员所需的基础培训。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed Tulane BIRCWH program is dedicated to promoting Women's Health research and the subsequent transfer of findings. In order to improve the quality and increase the quantity of Women's Health research, Tulane BIRCWH proposes to bridge the period between advanced training and research independence, as well as link professions, scientific disciplines, and areas of interest for selected scholars. The common theme running throughout the various research areas is patient-oriented research on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and hypertension among women, particularly among African American women. The need to address women's cardiovascular health in Louisiana is dire, particularly in Orleans parish where the population is predominantly African American, an extremely high-risk sub-population according to local and national data. Tulane BIRCWH foci will include research that is basic, translational, clinical, and health behavioral and health services that pertain to CVD and hypertension in women. The proposed program will be housed within the Tulane Xavier National Center of Excellence in Women's Health (TUXCOE), one of only 14 National Centers of Excellence under the Office of Women's Health, Department of Health and Human Services. The Tulane BIRCWH will therefore enhance the existing collaboration with Xavier University, the only historically Black Catholic College and University in United States, by providing an interdisciplinary research training opportunity to Junior Faculty within both institutions. The administrative structure of Tulane BIRCWH comprises a Principal Investigator (Pt), a Co-Principal Investigator (Co- PI), and an Advisory Committee. Paul Whelton, MD, MSc, Senior Vice President of TUHSC, serves as the PI; and Jeanette H. Magnus, MD, PhD, Director of the Tulane Xavier National Center of Excellence in Women's Health, as the Co-PI. Dr. Magnus will serve as both Co-PI and Program Director (PD) for the Tulane BIRCWH. Drs. Whelton and Magnus contribute vast and pertinent experience in the areas of Women's Health, cardiovascular disease, mentoring programs, as well as interdisciplinary programs. The Tulane BIRCWH Advisory Committee members, all of whom represent a wide array of TUHSC leadership and research expertise, will greatly complement the PI and Co-PI/PD in ensuring Tulane BIRCWH's future programmatic success and impact. Additionally, an entire team of proposed mentors will provide the trainees with access to established research programs with a broad range of basic and applied biomedical and behavioral science and health services research, and across the schools within the TUHSC. In addition to the existing Tulane GCRC, a proposed Women's Health Resource Laboratory (WHRL) will complement these highly qualified and dedicated administrators and mentors in bridging the gap between the completion of training and an independent career in research addressing Women's Health for the IWHR Scholars. Tulane BIRCWH's deliberate breadth and dynamism ensures that the program team, including the collaborating departments, centers and institutes, form the inter-professional, intellectual and technical research base necessary to provide the fundamental training needed to produce the high caliber Women's Health researchers the program seeks to generate.
