KUMC Women's Reproductive Health Research Career Development Program (K12)

描述（由申请人提供）：本文描述的是妇女生殖健康研究（WRHR）的培训计划，旨在未来5年内在堪萨斯大学医学中心（KUMC）的妇产科培养3名医生-科学家。我们将充分利用整个堪萨斯大学系统的科学财富和基础设施。在其教师中有30多名由校外资助的科学家从事妇女生殖健康的基础和转化研究，正是这些科学家构成了KU WRHR学者的潜在导师库。事实上，生殖生物学是KUMC的三大机构研究任务之一，妇产科主席为学者发展提供了极好的大学支持。拟议的方案将增加初级教师与妇女的生殖健康的最先进的研究培训的状态，该地区的主要学术健康中心，刺激妇女的生殖健康研究在学科之间的合作方式，并确保为学者导致一个成功的，独立的研究生涯优秀的研究经验。培训和指导计划鼓励基础和临床科学职业，分为两个灵活但明确的阶段。在第一阶段（1-2年），没有完成研究生水平工作的基础科学学者将完成KU生物医学科学跨学科研究生课程的核心博士课程。临床科学学者将完成KU临床研究计划，旨在增加致力于以患者为导向的研究的受资助临床学者的数量。第一阶段完成带来第二阶段，学者花3年时间进行研究和撰写赠款/手稿。在整个过程中，他们是由一个主要的导师在程序应用程序和一个指导团队，其中包括内部咨询委员会的成员选择指导。计划的成功是由学者通过学术排名的进展，独立资助的研究和毕业后的计划反馈的成就定义。我们将是成功的，如果我们的学者发表，资助，推广，终身，建立一个独立的研究计划，并作出重大贡献，妇女的健康研究。 相关性：该K-12计划的主要目标是促进妇产科医生科学家的发展，并将他们的研究成果转移到临床实践中，以造福社会。第二个目标是增加KUMC妇女健康研究中的医生科学家的数量，从而扩大医生科学家的临界质量，他们将成为我们未来的基地。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Described herein is a training program in Women's Reproductive Health Research (WRHR) designed to develop 3 physician-scientists in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Kansas University Medical Center (KUMC) over the next 5 years. We will take full advantage of the scientific wealth and infrastructure of the entire University of Kansas system. Among its faculty are more than 30 extramurally funded scientists pursuing basic and translational research in women's reproductive health, and it is these scientists that form the pool of potential mentors for the KU WRHR Scholars. Indeed, reproductive biology is among the top 3 institutional research missions at KUMC, and the Chair of Obstetrics and Gynecology has superb University support for Scholar development. The proposed Program will add junior faculty with state of the art research training in women's reproductive health to the region's main academic health center, stimulate women's reproductive health research in a collaborative fashion among disciplines, and secure an outstanding research experience for the Scholar leading to a successful, independent research career. The training and mentoring program encourages both basic and clinical science careers and is divided into two flexible but defined phases. In Phase I (years 1-2), basic science Scholars who have not done graduate level work will complete the core doctoral curriculum of the KU Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in the Biomedical Sciences. Clinical science Scholars will complete the KU Clinical Research Program designed to increase the number of funded clinical scholars committed to patient-oriented research. Phase I completion brings Phase ll, where the Scholar spends 3 years conducting research and writing grants/manuscripts. Throughout, they are mentored by a primary mentor selected at program application and a mentoring team that includes a member of the Internal Advisory Committee. Program success is defined by progression of Scholars through academic ranks, the achievement of independently funded research and Program feedback after graduation. We will be successful if our Scholars are published, funded, promoted, tenured, establish an independent research program, and make significant contributions to women's health research. RELEVANCE: The primary goal of this K-12 Program is to promote the development of physician-scientists in obstetrics and gynecology, and transfer the fruits of their research to clinical practice for the benefit of society in the future. A secondary goal is to increase the number of physician-scientists in women's health research at KUMC, thus expanding the critical mass of physician-scientists who will then serve as our future base.
