DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Physicians who have completed a residency and perhaps a fellowship are usually superb clinicians, but generally are not well prepared to meet the research requirements of a career in academic medicine. This proposal describes a plan for a Research Career Development Program in men's reproductive health for pediatricians, internists, endocrinologists and/or urologists at the University of Washington. The major goal of this program is to provide the research training to enable young physicians to establish research careers and eventually become independent investigators. The principal training format proposed is a mentored experience with a successful investigator (clinical, translational or basic) for two to five years. During this time, each of the two scholars will devote most of his/he time to research projects, whereby he/she acquires the knowledge and skills to become independent and assume a faculty position. In addition, in the initial years of each scholar's research training, formal coursework will be provided, as appropriate for the scholar's interests. This proposed UW Male Reproductive Health Research Program has twelve mentors with extensive research experience and funding that collectively represent both strong clinical and basic science expertise in subject areas that directly relate to men's reproductive health. This is a multidisciplinary proposal in that the mentors have their primary expertise and appointments in the Departments of Medicine, Urology, Epidemiology, Pharmacology, Physiology and Biophysics and Obstetrics and Gynecology. Each proposed mentor has a record of excellence in research and documented experience in training young investigators. The Departments of Medicine and Urology will diligently recruit outside scholars, and they have a relatively large pool of residents, fellows, and junior faculty eager to compete for the two proposed scholar awards. The Medicine and Urology departments and the School of Medicine at the University of Washington are prepared to make major commitments of resources and funding to support this proposed research center. In many ways, the University of Washington is the ideal location for a career development program in male reproductive health. The University has a wealth of resources and experience in male reproductive research, and can provide many opportunities for scholars to embark on successful research careers, which will serve to foster new therapeutic breakthroughs in issues relevant to male reproductive health.

描述（由申请人提供）：完成住院医师实习或获得奖学金的医生通常是优秀的临床医生，但通常没有准备好满足学术医学职业的研究要求。本提案描述了华盛顿大学的儿科医生、内科医生、内分泌学家和/或泌尿科医生在男性生殖健康方面的研究职业发展计划。该计划的主要目标是提供研究培训，使年轻医生能够建立研究事业，并最终成为独立的研究者。建议的主要培训形式是与成功的研究者（临床，转化或基础）进行2至5年的指导经验。在此期间，两位学者将把大部分时间投入到研究项目中，从而获得独立并担任教职的知识和技能。此外，在每位学者研究培训的最初几年，将根据学者的兴趣提供正式的课程。这个提议的威斯康星大学男性生殖健康研究项目有12位具有丰富研究经验和资金的导师，他们在与男性生殖健康直接相关的学科领域共同代表了强大的临床和基础科学专业知识。这是
