 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）：宾夕法尼亚BIRCWH的总体目标是培养一批独立的妇女健康调查人员，他们对性别和性别差异和相似性如何创造机会以改善妇女的健康和福祉的知识非常了解。重点放在性和性别差异的透镜与宾夕法尼亚大学BIRCWH学者将考虑妇女的健康是一致的，从健康的国家研究所和妇女健康研究办公室最近强调研究两性/性别时，可能的。宾夕法尼亚大学（Penn）长期致力于妇女健康，并将为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，通信和经济方面。拟议的计划将有3个BIRCWH学者（高级博士后研究员或早期初级教师）的稳定状态，除了由BIRCWH资助机制提供的资金外，宾夕法尼亚大学研究副教务长办公室和医学，护理，兽医学和艺术与科学学院还提供财政和方案支持。宾大BIRCWH计划将受益于宾大校长艾米·古特曼博士创建“一所学校”的任务，鼓励跨学科，校际合作。学者将由顾问委员会和项目/研究主任选择，并将被分配到来自上述学校，沃顿商学院，安嫩伯格传播学院，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，确保学者了解他们在最广泛的条件下妇女健康研究的具体领域的影响。学者将受益于来自整个大学的特殊的智力和职业发展机会，除了那些包括在BIRCWH核心活动。成功完成这些目标将培养出独立的调查人员，他们擅长协作、跨学科研究，促进妇女健康的突破性而不是渐进式进展。
