DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Among the faculty at the University of Kansas are a group of very talented scientists pursuing women's health research. The existence of this talented research base in women's health has ignited the interest of our leadership resulting in the development of a plan for interdisciplinary women's health research at the University of Kansas. This grant application represents the concerted efforts of faculty from the Schools of Allied Health, Medicine, Nursing, and Pharmacy. The purpose of the University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC) BIRCWH Faculty Development Program is to formally establish and strengthen the women's health research enterprise at the University of Kansas. The goal of the effort is to promote interdisciplinary research and transfer findings that will benefit the health of women, including sex/gender similarities or differences in biology, health or disease. The KUMC BIRCWH K12 program will accomplish this task by providing advanced training, career guidance, and transition to independence for junior faculty pursuing interdisciplinary research in women's health. The long-term career objective of the KUMC BIRCWH K12 Program is to foster the career development of junior faculty pursuing basic, translational, behavioral, clinical and/or health services research relevant to women's health. Over the five-year project period, the number of junior level (assistant professor) faculty hired in tenure-track positions pursuing women's health research will increase by at least eight. A flexible faculty development plan tailored to meet the needs of each newly recruited faculty member will be provided. Mentors have been enlisted in five thematic areas related to women's health: (i) Women's Reproductive Health; (ii) Maternal Health; (iii) Pathogenesis of Diseases Prevalent in Women; (iv) Drug Design, Drug Delivery, and Pharmacogenomics; and (v) Prevention, Intervention, and Health Disparities. Progress of each IWHR Scholar will be closely monitored while they are supported by the BIRCWH K12 Program and following their graduation. The KUMC BIRCWH K12 Program will positively impact the pursuit of women's health research at the University of Kansas.

描述（由申请人提供）：堪萨斯大学的教职员工中有一群非常有才华的科学家，致力于女性健康研究。这个女性健康领域才华横溢的研究基地的存在激发了我们领导层的兴趣，从而在堪萨斯大学制定了跨学科女性健康研究计划。这项拨款申请代表了联合健康学院、医学院、护理学院和药学院教师的共同努力。堪萨斯大学医学中心 (KUMC) BIRCWH 教师发展计划的目的是正式建立和加强堪萨斯大学的妇女健康研究事业。这项努力的目标是促进跨学科研究和转移研究结果，这将有利于妇女的健康，包括生物学、健康或疾病方面的性别相似性或差异。 KUMC BIRCWH K12 项目将通过为从事女性健康跨学科研究的初级教师提供高级培训、职业指导和独立过渡来完成这一任务。 KUMC BIRCWH K12 项目的长期职业目标是促进从事与女性健康相关的基础、转化、行为、临床和/或健康服务研究的初级教师的职业发展。在五年的项目期间，从事女性健康研究的终身教授职位的初级（助理教授）教师人数将增加至少八名。将提供灵活的教师发展计划，以满足每位新招聘教师的需求。与妇女健康相关的五个主题领域已招募了导师：(i) 妇女生殖健康； (二) 孕产妇保健； (iii) 妇女流行疾病的发病机制； (iv) 药物设计、药物递送和药物基因组学； (v) 预防、干预和健康差异。每位 IWHR 学者在获得 BIRCWH K12 项目支持以及毕业后的进展将受到密切关注。 KUMC BIRCWH K12 项目将对堪萨斯大学女性健康研究的追求产生积极影响。
