Tufts BIRCWH Program

显然有必要增加妇女健康和卫生领域的杰出研究人员的数量 性别/性别差异，以更好地了解疾病的基本机制，并开发 解决不同性别的治疗效果的异质性。塔夫茨大学大楼跨学科 妇女健康研究职业(BIRCWH)学者计划建议延续一种模式 招聘、选拔和培训早期职业教师以开展性别/性别差异基础研究的计划 以及关于妇女健康问题的临床和卫生服务研究。塔夫茨BIRCWH的长期目标 该计划旨在培养下一代研究性别/性别差异和女性 健康。该计划将在教师培训后六年内为他们提供资金。我们将资助两种类型的学员，基本的 科学学者和临床学者，他们已经完成博士培训，但需要更深入的研究 跨学科研究培训。该方案将通过五项关键活动实现其目标，这些活动是为 满足每位学者的培训需求：1)跨学科指导团队，2)正式研究培训，包括 生物医学研究生院的课程，3)跨学科研究研讨会，4)导师 研究项目，以及5)发展赠款提案准备的技能。塔夫茨BIRCWH计划将 促进从性别/性别差异的基础科学到临床和性别差异的所有阶段的转化研究 结果研究侧重于妇女护理中的几个重要问题：a)性的发现 差异，b)疾病预防、管理和结果方面的健康公平，c)营养科学，d) 妇女的心血管健康，以及e)产妇健康及其对生命进程的影响。我们建议资助 每年三名学者，初步任命为两年，可考虑第三年。

There is a demonstrated need to increase the number of exceptional researchers in women's health and sex/gender differences to better understand basic mechanisms of disease and develop treatment that addresses the heterogeneity of treatment effects by sex. The Tufts University Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health (BIRCWH) Scholars Program proposes the continuation of a model program to recruit, select, and train early career faculty to conduct basic research in sex/gender differences and clinical and health services research on women's health issues. The long term goals of the Tufts BIRCWH Program are to develop the next generation of leaders in research in sex/gender differences and women’s health. The Program will fund faculty within six years of their training. We will fund two types of trainees, Basic Science Scholars and Clinical Scholars, who have completed their doctoral training but require more in depth interdisciplinary research training. The Program will achieve its goals through five key activities, tailored to meet each Scholar’s training needs: 1) interdisciplinary mentoring teams, 2) formal research training including courses at the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, 3) interdisciplinary research seminars, 4) a mentored research project, and 5) development of skills in grant proposal preparation. The Tufts BIRCWH Program will promote all stages of translational research from basic science in sex/gender differences to clinical and outcomes research focusing on several important questions in the care of women: a) discovery of sex differences, b) health equity in disease prevention, management, and outcomes, c) nutrition science, d) women’s cardiovascular health, and e) maternal health and impact on the life course. We propose to fund three scholars annually, with initial appointments of two years with an option to be considered for a third year.
