Oregon BIRCWH: Scholars in Women's Health Research Across the Lifespan

描述(由申请人提供)：这项竞争性的续签申请旨在继续和加强OHSU BIRCWH项目，名为“俄勒冈州BIRCWH：终身女性健康研究学者”。我们的总体目标是为初级教员创造一个激励和培养的环境，使他们发展成为女性健康领域领先的跨学科研究科学家；我们计划每年保持四名学者。在过去的两个资助周期中，俄勒冈州BIRCWH培训了一批不同的研究人员，他们推动了对女性终身健康的基础、生物医学、行为和翻译研究。OHSU提供了一个资源丰富的环境，其文化促进了跨学科团队科学。俄勒冈州BIRCWH已经取得了成功，学者们获得了大约4000万美元的研究资金，出版了200多份出版物，并担任了国家领导职位。BIRCWH是OHSU唯一专门致力于女性健康研究领域的职业发展的K12职业发展项目。该机构坚定地致力于BIRCWH，为每位学者提供长达50小时的统计支持，通过人类调查计划提供免费教育，并提供直接资金支持他们的研究。我们将继续现有的最佳实践，这些最佳实践使我们的计划非常成功。在这次更新中，我们扩大了BIRCWH的中心、研究所和导师，以解决所有6个高度优先的NIH ORWH研究目标，并提出以下创新扩展：i)通过以下方式发展和推广指导跨学科科学家的最佳实践：a)提供正式的指导培训，b)进行全国BIRCWH调查，以确定指导跨学科科学家的成功实践，c)开发和测试工具以支持当地的导师-被辅导者关系，以及d)传播用于全国指导的最佳实践(课程和工具)；以及ii)通过以下方式促进机构、州和国家层面妇女健康研究领导者的发展：a)发展妇女健康研究的核心能力，将NIH ORWH的研究重点纳入其中，以更好地定义该领域的研究需求和目标教育研究培训计划；b)提供正式的领导力培训，以促进下一代妇女健康研究领导者的有效性；c)通过全州妇女健康研究年会传播能力并扩大妇女健康方面的跨学科研究；以及d)正式制定计划，促进BIRCWH机构间合作，以促进妇女健康研究，并在国家层面进一步实现方案的卓越。俄勒冈州BIRCWH致力于培养下一代妇女健康研究的领导者，他们的发现改善了女孩、妇女和人口的健康。我们对我们的计划和学者的成功感到高兴，并对在这次更新中有机会在国家和计划层面做出更多贡献感到兴奋。 公共卫生相关性：俄勒冈州BIRCWH计划招募、培训和指导初级教员，承诺他们将成为妇女健康研究的领导者，改善女孩、妇女和人口的健康。BIRCWH的16名学者(11名毕业生)获得了近4000万美元的资助(作为首席研究员或联合首席研究员超过2300万美元)，发表了200多篇文章，自被任命为BIRCWH以来，已担任国家领导职务。我们以我们的最佳实践和坚实的基础为基础，推进纳入NIH ORWH研究优先事项的新计划，并扩大我们的覆盖范围，在州和国家层面深化我们对BIRCWH计划的贡献。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This competing renewal application seeks to continue and enhance the OHSU BIRCWH program entitled "Oregon BIRCWH: Scholars in Women's Health Research Across the Lifespan." Our overarching goal is to create a stimulating and nurturing environment for junior faculty to develop into leading interdisciplinary research scientists in women's health; we plan to maintain four scholars/year. Over the last two grant cycles, the Oregon BIRCWH has trained a diverse cadre of researchers who advance basic, biomedical, behavioral, and translational research in women's health across the lifespan. OHSU provides a resource-rich environment whose culture promotes interdisciplinary team science. The Oregon BIRCWH has been successful with scholars receiving approximately $40 million dollars in research funding, publishing over 200 publications, and assuming national leadership positions. The BIRCWH is the only K12 career development program at OHSU specifically dedicated to career development in women's health research. The institution is deeply committed to the BIRCWH, providing each scholar up to 50 hours of statistical support, tuition free education through the Human Investigations Program, and direct financial contributions to support their research. We will continue the existing best practices that have made our program highly successful. In this renewal we expand the centers, institutes, and mentors affiliated with the BIRCWH to address all 6 high priority NIH ORWH research goals and propose the following innovative expansions to: I) Develop and promote best practices in mentoring interdisciplinary scientists by: a) providing formal mentorship training, b) conducting a national BIRCWH survey to identify successful practices in mentoring interdisciplinary scientists, c) developing and testig tools to support the mentor-mentee relationship locally and d) disseminate best practices (lessons and tools) for mentoring nationally; and II) Catalyze the development of women's health research leaders at the institutional, state, and national level by: a) developing core competencies in women's health research that incorporate the NIH ORWH research priorities to better define the research needs of the field and target educational research training programs, b) providing formal leadership training to promote effectiveness of the next generation of women's health research leaders, c) disseminating competencies and expanding interdisciplinary research in women's health through a Statewide Annual Women's Health Research Conference, and d) formalizing a program to promote inter-institutional BIRCWH collaborations to advance women's health research and further programmatic excellence at a national level. The Oregon BIRCWH is dedicated to training the next generation of leaders in women's health research whose discoveries improve the health of girls, women, and populations. We are pleased with our program's and scholars' successes and are excited about the opportunities in this renewal to increasingly contribute at a national and programmatic level. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The Oregon BIRCWH program recruits, trains, and mentors promising junior faculty to become leaders in women's health research who improve the health of girls, women, and populations. The 16 BIRCWH scholars (11 graduates) have received almost $40 million in funding (over $23 million as principal investigator or co- principal investigator), published over 200 articles, and have assumed national leadership positions since being appointed to the BIRCWH. We build on our best practices and strong foundation to advance new initiatives incorporating NIH ORWH research priorities and expand our reach to deepen our contributions to the BIRCWH program on state and national levels.
