The Johns Hopkins Clinical Research Scholars in Women's Health (BIRCWH)

 描述（由申请人提供）：约翰霍普金斯BIRCWH计划（JH-BIRCWH）的总体目标是培养高素质的独立调查人员进行妇女的健康和性别和性别差异的研究。这些独立的研究人员将成为现在和未来的领导者，开发创新的跨学科研究项目，以改善不同女性和男性在整个生命周期中的健康和社会成果。为了实现我们的目标，JH-BIRCWH将：1）从约翰霍普金斯大学和全国范围内招募有前途和积极性高的初级教师学者，优先考虑 研究人员来自研究中代表性不足的群体; 2）在国家认可的，致力于和经验丰富的妇女健康和性/性别差异导师团队的指导下，使用以学习者为中心和基于能力的方法进行跨学科职业发展;和3）培养独立的，有道德的妇女健康研究领导人。在他们的指导研究期间，学者们将通过生命过程的观点的透镜来扩大他们对妇女健康研究的理解，特别关注对不同和高风险人群的健康需求的研究。JH-BIRCWH将突出指导跨学科研究的三个核心优势领域，具有经验丰富，国内和国际公认的，活跃于女性健康或性别差异研究的高级教师，致力于支持和赞助JH BIRCWH学者。这三个核心优势领域是：⑴妇女特有的疾病（如妇女癌症和生殖生物学）; ⑵疾病表现的性别和性别差异（如免疫学、神经科学、心血管和遗传学）; ⑶妇女健康和不平等的社会决定因素（如暴力侵害妇女行为、创伤、吸毒成瘾和贫穷）。JH-BIRCWH学者将提供75个受保护的研究时间，至少两年，每年有两名来自临床和非临床领域的学者。JHU致力于支持学者转变为独立资助，网络化和终身伦理调查员领导跨学科团队，通过推进我们对性别和性别差异以及独特的健康问题的理解，改善妇女的健康，更普遍，或在妇女中产生不同的后果。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overarching goal of the Johns Hopkins BIRCWH program (JH-BIRCWH) is to develop highly qualified, independent investigators to conduct women's health and sex and gender differences research. These independent investigators will be leaders now and in the future, developing innovative, interdisciplinary programs of research that will improve health and social outcomes for diverse women, and also men, across the lifespan. To achieve our goal, the JH-BIRCWH will: 1) recruit promising and highly motivated junior faculty scholars from within Johns Hopkins University and nationally, with priority given to investigators from groups underrepresented in research; 2) use a learner-centered and competency-based approach to interdisciplinary career development under the guidance of a team of nationally recognized, committed and experienced women's health and sex/gender differences mentors; and 3) develop independent, ethical women's health research leaders. During their mentored research, Scholars will broaden their understanding of women's health research through the lens of a life course perspective, with particular attention to research on the health needs of diverse and high risk populations. JH-BIRCWH will highlight three core strength areas of mentored interdisciplinary research with highly experienced, nationally and internationally recognized, senior faculty active in research related to women's health or sex differences, committed to supporting and sponsoring JH BIRCWH scholars. The 3 core strength areas are: 1) diseases specific to women (e.g. women's cancer and reproductive biology); 2) sex and gender differences in disease expression (e.g. immunology, neuroscience, cardiovascular and genetics); and 3) social determinants of women's health and disparities (e.g. violence against women, trauma, addictions and poverty). JH-BIRCWH Scholars will be provided 75 percent-protected research time for a minimum of two years with two Scholars from both clinical and non-clinical areas per year. JHU is committed to supporting the transformation of Scholars into independently funded, networked, and lifelong ethical investigators leading interdisciplinary teams to improve women's health by advancing our understanding of sex and gender differences and health concerns unique to, more prevalent, or with differential consequences in women.
