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

描述（由申请人提供）：这一竞争性更新申请旨在继续和加强OHSU BIRCWH项目，名为“俄勒冈BIRCWH：终身妇女健康研究学者”。我们的首要目标是为青年教师创造一个激励和培育的环境，使他们成为妇女健康领域领先的跨学科研究科学家；我们计划保持4名学者/年。在过去的两个拨款周期中，俄勒冈BIRCWH培养了一支多元化的研究人员队伍，他们在女性健康的整个生命周期中推进了基础、生物医学、行为和转化研究。OHSU提供了一个资源丰富的环境，其文化促进了跨学科的团队科学。俄勒冈BIRCWH取得了成功，学者们获得了大约4000万美元的研究经费，发表了200多篇出版物，并担任了国家领导职务。BIRCWH是OHSU唯一一个专门致力于妇女健康研究职业发展的K12职业发展项目。该机构深深致力于BIRCWH，为每位学者提供多达50小时的统计支持，通过人类调查计划提供免费教育，并直接提供财政捐助以支持他们的研究。我们将继续现有的最佳实践，这些实践使我们的项目非常成功。在这次更新中，我们扩大了BIRCWH附属的中心、研究所和导师，以解决NIH ORWH的所有6个高优先级研究目标，并提出以下创新扩展：1)通过以下方式发展和促进指导跨学科科学家的最佳实践：a)提供正式的指导培训，b)开展全国BIRCWH调查，以确定指导跨学科科学家的成功做法，c)开发和测试工具，以支持当地的师徒关系，d)在全国传播指导的最佳做法（经验教训和工具）；（二）在机构、州和国家各级促进妇女保健研究领导人的发展，办法是：a)发展妇女健康研究的核心能力，纳入NIH ORWH的研究重点，以更好地确定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，以提高下一代妇女健康研究领导者的有效性；c)通过全州年度妇女健康研究会议传播能力并扩大妇女健康领域的跨学科研究。(d)正式制定一项方案，以促进机构间妇女保健和妇女保健合作，推动妇女保健研究，并在国家一级进一步制定卓越方案。俄勒冈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。我们对我们的项目和学者们的成功感到高兴，并对在这次更新中有机会在国家和项目层面上做出越来越大的贡献感到兴奋。

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.
