描述（申请人提供）：杜克/北卡罗来纳州中央大学（NCCU）“建立妇女健康跨学科研究职业”（BIRCHW）计划的长期目标是：（1）通过向对解决重要问题感兴趣的新研究人员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）通过鼓励研究人员利用跨学科培训和合作提供的广泛知识资本，促进对这些问题的创新方法，（3）建立杜克和NCCU在妇女健康研究中发挥领导作用的能力，及（4）为两所大学提供基础广泛的跨学科研究培训和合作的模式。该方案将通过实现以下具体目标来实现这些目标：（1）为跨学科的初级教师提供开展妇女健康研究的教学和实践培训，重点是四大领域：临床试验和成果、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）在杜克和NCCU教师之间建立新的跨学科研究关系;（4）为杜克大学对妇女健康感兴趣的研究人员提供更多的机制，以不断交流思想、方法和见解;（5）提供一个机制，招聘和职业发展的初级教师致力于该计划的长期目标;及（6）透过鼓励及促进临床医生与非临床医生研究人员之间的互动，提高教职员的整体研究生产力。该计划的学员将至少有2年的指导研究培训，包括每周研讨会的研究方法和职业发展主题，在同行评议和赠款写作的经验，并完成至少一个项目与资深教师研究导师一起工作。受训人员将被要求完成并提交至少一份独立研究培训的申请，在他们的时间在该计划结束。

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.
