 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Emory BIRCWH Program will be a multidisciplinary education program designed to provide career development training and support for outstanding early career investigators with a professional interested in innovative and high impact women's health research. The rationale behind the proposed dedicated education and training program includes: 1) the expanding need, particularly in the southeastern US to identify and train next generations of health-scientists invested in women's health research; 2) the growing necessity for high-quality biomedical research aimed at bridging health disparity between the sexes; 3) the importance of fostering interdisciplinary education and training in sex/gender life science; and 4) the unique opportunity to leverage the extensive expertise and the well-developed research infrastructures, particularly in the field of communicable disease at Emory, to address scientific questions pertinent to women's health. Strengths and resources from partner institutions, combined with a critical mass of investigators working in a significant number of health- related disciplines relevant to women's health within Emory, create an ideal training environment for advancing women's health research. The focus of our program on communicable disease and the impact on women's health highlights health disparities -in our case, among racial/ethnic minority women in the southeastern US - thereby aligning the proposed work with the agenda of the NIH office of research on women's health (OWHR) and capitalizing on Emory's strength in communicable diseases and basic immunology while leveraging existing collaborations with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Morehouse School of Medicine, and Georgia Institute of Technology, all within a few mile radius of Emory. A formal curriculum has been designed featuring didactic training and mentoring by a team of interdisciplinary established senior scholars and practitioners. Training of investigators from minority and underprivileged backgrounds is a particular focus of this program, and will be facilitated by existing strengths and partnerships in Atlanta. The program also will include a rigorous system for tracking and assessing progress. The Emory BIRCWH is an important component of a growing academic enterprise at Emory, and Emory is poised to provide outstanding career development for emerging leaders in women's health research.

 描述（由申请人提供）：埃默里大学 BIRCWH 计划将是一个多学科教育计划，旨在为杰出的早期职业研究人员以及对创新和高影响力的女性健康研究感兴趣的专业人员提供职业发展培训和支持。拟议的专门教育和培训计划背后的理由包括：1）不断扩大的需求，特别是在美国东南部，需要识别和培训投资于妇女健康研究的下一代健康科学家； 2）越来越需要旨在缩小性别之间健康差距的高质量生物医学研究； 3) 促进性/性别生命科学跨学科教育和培训的重要性； 4）利用埃默里大学广泛的专业知识和完善的研究基础设施（特别是在传染病领域）解决与妇女健康相关的科学问题的独特机会。合作机构的优势和资源，加上埃默里大学内大量从事与女性健康相关的健康相关学科的研究人员，为推进女性健康研究创造了理想的培训环境。我们计划的重点是传染病及其对妇女健康的影响，突出了健康差异（在我们的例子中，是美国东南部少数族裔妇女之间的差异），从而使拟议的工作与 NIH 妇女健康研究办公室 (OWHR) 的议程保持一致，并利用埃默里大学在传染病和基础免疫学方面的优势，同时利用与疾病控制和预防中心 (CDC)、莫尔豪斯的现有合作 医学院和佐治亚理工学院都在埃默里半径几英里范围内。正式的课程设计以教学培训和由跨学科资深学者和实践者组成的团队指导为特色。对来自少数族裔和贫困背景的调查人员的培训是该计划的一个特别重点，并将通过亚特兰大现有的优势和合作伙伴关系来促进。该计划还将包括一个严格的跟踪和评估进展的系统。埃默里大学 BIRCWH 是埃默里大学不断发展的学术事业的重要组成部分，埃默里大学已准备好为女性健康研究领域的新兴领导者提供出色的职业发展。
