Brown/WIH Women's Reproductive Health Research Career Development Program

描述（由申请人提供）：布朗/妇女和婴儿医院WRHR项目的目的是培养具有专业知识和研究技能的妇女健康转化研究人员的新骨干，以发展妇女生殖健康从基础科学到与公共卫生相关的临床应用的创新研究。布朗大学和威斯康星大学WRHR项目的学者将从当地和国家奖学金项目和初级教师职位中招聘。该计划的总体目标是提供一个支持性和激进性的研究环境，使合格的初级教师医师科学家能够发展成为具有临床转化研究专业知识的妇女生殖健康研究的领导者。转化研究领域包括：胎儿发育、生殖毒理学、围产期遗传学、妊娠流行病学和结局、妊娠糖尿病、产后抑郁症、妇女癌症流行病学、环境卫生、生物标志物和治疗发展、卵巢保存、艾滋病毒、传染病、尿失禁、青少年决策、药物滥用、营养、肥胖、心血管疾病和衰老。培训计划包括量身定制的研究和职业发展计划，该计划结合了密集的多学科指导、教学研讨会和实际的动手研究调查。该方案的直接目标是确定和培训有潜力成为独立妇女生殖健康调查人员的学者。为实现这一目标，将确定有前途的学者，对他们进行多学科转化研究方法方面的培训，以开展妇女生殖健康研究调查，并指导学者成为独立的研究人员。该方案的长期目标是为有才华的初级妇女生殖健康研究人员建立一个健全的模式培训方案，使其发展成为能够确保将基础科学研究成果转化为改善妇女健康的成果的学术领袖。每位学者的长期职业目标包括建立独立的研究生涯，其中包括培训下一代妇女生殖健康学者。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of the Brown /Women & Infants Hospital WRHR Program is to train a new cadre of women's health translational researchers with expertise and research skills to develop innovative research in women's reproductive health from basic science to clinical applications relevant to public health. Scholars for the Brown/WIH WRHR Program will be recruited from local and national fellowship programs and junior faculty positions. The overarching goal for the program is to provide a supportive and stimulating research environment that enables well-qualified, junior faculty physician-scientists to develop into leaders in women's reproductive health research with expertise in clinical translational research. Translational research areas include: fetal development, reproductive toxicology, perinatal genetics, pregnancy epidemiology and outcomes, gestational diabetes, postpartum depression, women's cancer epidemiology, environmental health, biomarkers and treatment development, ovarian preservation, HIV, infectious diseases, incontinence, adolescent decision making, substance abuse, nutrition, obesity, cardiovascular disease and aging. The training program involves a tailored research and career development plan that works by incorporating intensive multidisciplinary mentoring, didactic seminars and practical hands-on research investigation. The immediate objective for the Program is to identify and train scholars who have the potential to develop as independent women's reproductive health investigators. The objective will be pursued by identifying promising scholars, training them in multidisciplinary translational research methods to pursue women's reproductive health research investigations, and mentoring scholars to become independent researchers. The long-term objective of the Program is to have an established, robust model training program for talented junior women's reproductive health researchers to develop into academic leaders who are capable of assuring what is discovered at the basic science bench is translated into outcomes that improve women's health. The long-term career objective for each scholar includes establishing an independent research career that involves training the next generation of women's reproductive health scholars. RELEVANCE: The Brown/WIH WRHR Program is designed to train the next generation of women's health researchers to perform innovative research that takes what is discovered at the basic science bench and translates it into clinical applications that improve women's health. The training includes intensive multidisciplinary mentoring, didactic seminars and practical hands-on research investigation. We expect our alumni will be engaged as mentors and role models in training future generations of women's reproductive health researchers.
