项目摘要 妇产科疾病和病症与妇女健康有着密切的联系， 对美国和地球仪的公众健康和家庭产生了深远的影响。此外，本发明还提供了一种方法， 许多这些医疗保健问题对贫穷和少数民族妇女的影响不成比例， 孕妇例如，婴儿和产妇发病率和死亡率、早产、低 出生体重、意外怀孕、性传播感染、不孕症和宫颈癌 癌症对穷人和有色人种的影响程度都大于白色人， 更富裕的人。不幸的是，缺乏训练有素的妇产科临床 研究人员致力于解决这些重要的公共卫生问题。此R13的目的 应用程序是提供支持10个会议/课程（每年两次，为期5年），以培训 初级妇产科研究人员在临床研究设计，生物统计学，研究的道德行为， 和学术上的成功（例如，出版、授权写作、促销等）。的具体目标 该应用程序是：1）为将创建一个 临床研究设计和学术成功的教育，互动和鼓舞人心的课程 在妇产科和妇女健康研究方面; 2）招募有前途和多样化初级教员， 妇产科的研究员们将参加这门课程，为他们的部门带回有价值的见解， 导师研究员，妇产科住院医师和对妇产科研究感兴趣的医学生， 推进尖端科学，最终改善妇产科和妇女的健康; 3） 根据学员的反馈，通过迭代方法评估和改进本课程 并通过跟踪与会者的时间来评估“成功”。通过跟踪来定义成功 学术指标，如同行评审的出版物数量，提交的赠款， 获得，和学术进步（例如，晋升）和奖励。我们还将跟踪我们的 招聘不同的教师和会议与会者。该课程将是创新的，因为它将 从虚拟会议开始开始，以建立基本知识库并调整课程本身 并将在18-24个月内跟踪参与者，以评估成功与否。会刺激 通过促进头脑风暴会议，小组讨论，计划，有意 一对一的互动（辅导课程）;本课程的最终目标是培养一个新的 并激励了一群新的妇产科调查人员，他们将准备好促进 美国和国外的妇女和孕妇。

PROJECT SUMMARY Diseases and disorders in Obstetrics and Gynecology (OBGYN) and women’s health have a profound impact on public health and families in the U.S. and around the globe. In addition, many of these healthcare issues disproportionately impact poor and minoritized women and pregnant people. For example, infant and maternal morbidity and mortality, preterm birth, low birth weight, unintended pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, infertility, and cervical cancer all impact impoverished persons and persons of color to a greater extent than white and more affluent individuals. Unfortunately, there is a lack of well-trained OBGYN clinical investigators to address these important public health problems. The purpose of this R13 application is to provide support for 10 conferences/courses (twice per year for 5 years) to train junior OBGYN investigators in clinical research design, biostatistics, ethical conduct of research, and academic success (e.g., publishing, grant writing, promotions, etc.). The specific aims of this application are to: 1) provide support for a diverse group of faculty that will create an educational, interactive, and inspiring course in clinical research design and academic success in OBGYN and women’s health research; 2) recruit promising and diverse junior faculty and fellows in OBGYN who will attend the course, bring back valuable insights to their departments, mentor fellows, OBGYN residents and medical students interested in OBGYN research, and advance cutting edge science that will ultimately improve OBGYN and women’s health; and 3) evaluate and improve this course through iterative approach with feedback from participants and by tracking attendees over time to assess “success.” Success with be defined by tracking academic metrics such as the number of peer-reviewed publications, grants submitted and obtained, and academic advancement (e.g., promotion) and awards. We will also track our recruitment of diverse faculty and conference attendees. The course will be innovative as it will begin with virtual meetings to establish a baseline knowledge base and to tailor the course itself to attendees and will follow participants over 18-24 months to assess success. It will stimulate new ideas through facilitated brainstorming sessions, group discussions, scheduled, intentional one-on-one interactions (mentoring sessions); The ultimate goal of this course is to train a new and inspired group of new OBGYN investigators who will be poised to advance the health of women and pregnant people in the U.S. and abroad.
