 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overarching goal of the Penn BIRCWH is to develop a cadre of independent investigators in women's health who are sophisticated in their knowledge of how sex and gender differences and similarities create opportunities to improve health and well-being for women. The focus on sex and gender differences as the lens with which the Penn BIRCWH Scholars will consider women's health is consistent with the recent emphasis from the National Institute of Health and the Office of Research on Women's Health to study both sexes/genders when possible. The University of Pennsylvania (Penn) has a long-standing commitment to women's health and will provide BIRCWH Scholars with incomparable opportunities for interdisciplinary research focusing on the biomedical, social science, health services, communications, and economic aspects of women's health in the United States and abroad. The proposed program will have a steady state of 3 BIRCWH Scholars (senior post-doctoral fellows or early junior faculty) with financial and programmatic support from the University of Pennsylvania Office of the Vice Provost for Research and the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, Veterinary Medicine and Arts and Sciences, in addition to that provided by the BIRCWH funding mechanism. The Penn BIRCWH Program will benefit from Penn President Dr. Amy Gutmann's mandate to create "one school", encouraging interdisciplinary, between-school collaborations. Scholars will be chosen by the Advisory Board and Program/Research Directors and will be assigned faculty mentor teams from the above mentioned schools, Wharton School of Business, the Annenberg School of Communications, the School of Social Policy and Practice, and the Leonard Davis Institute, insuring that Scholars understand the implications of their specific area of women's health research in the broadest terms possible. Scholars will benefit from the exceptional intellectual and career development opportunities from across the university, in addition to those included in the BIRCWH Core Activities. Successful completion of these goals will create independent investigators who are skilled in collaborative, interdisciplinary research, fostering ground- breaking instead of incremental advances in women's health.

 描述（由申请人提供）：Penn BIRCWH 的总体目标是培养一支女性健康领域的独立调查员队伍，他们对性别和性别差异与相似性如何为改善女性健康和福祉创造机会拥有丰富的知识。宾夕法尼亚大学 BIRCWH 学者将性别和性别差异作为考虑女性健康的视角，这与国家卫生研究院和女性健康研究办公室最近强调的尽可能研究性别的观点一致。宾夕法尼亚大学 (Penn) 长期致力于妇女健康，将为 BIRCWH 学者提供无与伦比的跨学科研究机会，重点关注美国和国外妇女健康的生物医学、社会科学、卫生服务、通讯和经济方面。拟议的项目将拥有稳定的 3 名 BIRCWH 学者（高级博士后研究员或早期初级教师），除了 BIRCWH 资助机制提供的资金和项目支持外，还获得宾夕法尼亚大学研究副教务长办公室、医学院、护理学院、兽医学院和艺术与科学学院的财政和项目支持。宾夕法尼亚大学 BIRCWH 项目将受益于宾夕法尼亚大学校长 Amy Gutmann 博士创建“一所学校”的使命，鼓励跨学科、校际合作。学者将由顾问委员会和项目/研究主任选出，并将分配来自上述学校、沃顿商学院、安纳伯格传播学院、社会政策与实践学院和伦纳德·戴维斯研究所的教师导师团队，以确保学者们尽可能广泛地了解其女性健康研究特定领域的影响。除了 BIRCWH 核心活动之外，学者们还将受益于整个大学提供的卓越的智力和职业发展机会。成功完成这些目标将培养出擅长协作、跨学科研究的独立研究人员，从而促进妇女健康领域的突破性进展，而不是渐进式进展。
