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

 描述(由申请人提供)：约翰霍普金斯大学BIRCWH项目(JH-BIRCWH)的总体目标是培养高素质的独立调查人员，以进行女性健康、性别和性别差异研究。这些独立调查人员将成为现在和未来的领导者，开发创新的跨学科研究计划，以改善不同女性以及男性在整个一生中的健康和社会结果。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聘有前途和高度上进的初级教职学者，优先考虑 来自研究中代表性不足群体的研究人员；2)在国家认可、承诺和经验丰富的妇女健康和性别/性别差异导师团队的指导下，采用以学习者为中心、以能力为基础的跨学科职业发展方法；以及3)培养独立、有道德的妇女健康研究领导者。在指导研究期间，学者们将从生命历程的角度拓宽他们对妇女健康研究的理解，特别关注对不同和高危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，由经验丰富、国内和国际公认的资深教员活跃在与女性健康或性别差异相关的研究中，致力于支持和资助JH BIRCWH学者。3个核心优势领域是：1)妇女特有的疾病(如妇女癌症和生殖生物学)；2)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)；3)妇女健康和差异的社会决定因素(如对妇女的暴力、创伤、成瘾和贫穷)。JH-BIRCWH学者将被提供75%保护的研究时间，为期至少两年，每年有两名来自临床和非临床领域的学者。JHU致力于支持将学者转变为独立资助的、联网的和终身伦理调查人员，领导跨学科团队，通过促进我们对女性特有的、更普遍的或具有不同后果的性别和性别差异以及健康问题的理解，改善妇女的健康状况。

 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.
