DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term goal of the WRHRCDC at Northwestern University is to continue to foster and develop an outstanding mentored research training program for obstetrician-gynecologists, and to prepare our WRHR trainees (Scholars) to become independent investigators in women's health research. Since it has been first funded in 2005, our WRHRCDC has made major progress in reaching this goal. We have successfully trained 4 Scholars, who published 27 papers and received 18 grant awards including 6 from NIH, and met all our WRHRCDC benchmarks. The Dept of Ob/Gyn will continue to coordinate and administer the WRHRCDC Program and make full use of the scientific wealth and reproductive research infrastructure at Northwestern in its entirety. The key leadership at Northwestern made strong institutional commitments to the WRHRCDC Program. Sherman Elias, MD, Chair of Ob/Gyn and Serdar Bulun, MD, the Division Director of Reproductive Biology Research will continue to serve as the PI and WRHR Research Director, respectively. The Department of Ob/Gyn at Northwestern has traditionally recruited high quality residents, subspecialty fellows and junior faculty; currently 16% of this group are underrepresented minorities (URM). One of our current WRHR Scholars is an URM. Thus, we have a large and active pool of candidates for WRHR Scholar selection. These Scholars will have an opportunity to choose between highly competitive clinical research teams or laboratories conducting research in the areas of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Gynecologic Oncology and Reproductive Genetics and covering the reproductive portion of hypothalamic-pituitary axis, ovary, uterus, placenta and the fetus. The WRHR Scholars will interact with existing two P01, two U54, and one SCOR Center grants and one T32 training grant specifically in the area of obstetrics and gynecology. As the Northwestern WRHRCDC Program, we are fully equipped to continue to recruit top-quality obstetrician-gynecologists and train them to conduct research and compete for federal grants and retain them as they become independent investigators. Our excellent track record during the past funding period strongly supports our application. RELEVANCE: There is a severe shortage of physicians who conduct research in obstetrics and gynecology. During the first funding period since 2005, we have successfully developed an outstanding mentored career development program conducive to transition obstetrician/gynecologists to become independent investigators. Our trainees became extremely successful. Here, we propose to continue to improve this Program.

描述（由申请人提供）：西北大学WRHRCDC的长期目标是继续培养和发展一个优秀的妇产科医生的指导研究培训计划，并准备我们的WRHR学员（学者）成为独立的研究人员在妇女的健康研究。自2005年首次获得资金以来，我们的WRHRCDC在实现这一目标方面取得了重大进展。我们已经成功地培养了4名学者，他们发表了27篇论文，获得了18项资助奖，其中包括NIH的6项，并达到了我们所有的WRHRCDC基准。妇产科的部门将继续协调和管理WRHRCDC计划，并充分利用西北大学的科学财富和生殖研究基础设施。在西北的关键领导作出了强有力的机构承诺WRHRCDC计划。妇产科主任谢尔曼埃利亚斯（医学博士）和生殖生物学研究部主任塞尔达尔布伦（医学博士）将继续分别担任PI和WRHR研究主任。妇产科在西北部的部门传统上招募高素质的居民，专科研究员和初级教师;目前这组的16%是代表性不足的少数民族（URM）。我们目前的WRHR学者之一是URM。因此，我们有一个大型和活跃的候选人库WRHR学者的选择。这些学者将有机会在竞争激烈的临床研究团队或实验室之间进行选择，这些团队或实验室在生殖内分泌学和不孕不育，母胎医学，妇科肿瘤学和生殖遗传学领域进行研究，并涵盖下丘脑-垂体轴，卵巢，子宫，胎盘和胎儿的生殖部分。WRHR学者将与现有的两个P01，两个U 54和一个SCOR中心赠款和一个T32培训补助金进行互动，特别是在妇产科领域。作为西北WRHRCDC计划，我们完全有能力继续招募高质量的妇产科医生，并培训他们进行研究和竞争联邦赠款，并保留他们，因为他们成为独立的调查员。我们在过去的资助期内的良好记录有力地支持了我们的申请。 相关性：从事妇产科研究的医生严重短缺。在自2005年以来的第一个资助期内，我们成功地制定了一个优秀的指导职业发展计划，有利于过渡产科医生/妇科医生成为独立的调查员。我们的实习生非常成功。在此，我们建议继续完善这一方案。
