 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Although it is now apparent that the incidence and symptoms of diseases, as well as responses to treatments, are different between males and females, sex- and gender-related research remains a persistently understudied, yet vitally important, component of health research. These differences extend to laboratory animals and even to cell lines in bench research. The Utah Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health Career Development Program (Utah BIRCWH Program) will provide University of Utah junior faculty members with mentored research experiences that will focus the sex and gender lens on their discovery, translational, and clinical research training. The Utah BIRCWH Program will provide a bridge to research independence and will create a cadre of independent scientists addressing clinically important women's health issues. The Utah BIRCWH Program will focus outside the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology to draw Scholars from across the University, its CTSA affiliated institutions, and across the nation. BIRCWH Program mentors will come from research communities across the campuses of the University and also our CTSA partner institutions (Intermountain Healthcare, Salt Lake VA, Utah Department of Health). We will leverage the Vice-President's Clinical and Translational science (VP-CAT), an established and highly successful academic career development program. The VP-CAT program (and its administrative predecessor) has had 46 consecutive graduates transition to extramural funding and obtain academic medical faculty positions. Utah BIRCWH Scholars will have full access to these successful programs. At the core of VP-CAT is the Matrix Mentoring Model (MMM). The MMM combines self-mentorship with mentorship from senior faculty, scientific experts, peers, and staff to produce unparalleled success in academic career development. The Utah BIRCWH Program's consideration of Scholar candidates from across the University campus and beyond bespeaks the multiple dimensions of women's health and the widespread interest in this Program. The Principal Investigator, PD, and Advisory Committee Chair have >50 years (between them) of mentoring experience and NIH funding and are committed to developing the next generation of multidisciplinary women's health researchers. An Advisory Committee will be formed and will meet quarterly to review Scholar's career development plans, their progress, and the contributions of their mentorship teams. The Utah BIRCWH Program will fund two Scholars at a time, with appointments anticipated to last at least two years. All Scholars will be junior faculty, having completed their clinical or graduate training within six years of their appointment. The Utah BIRCWH Program intends to have all of its graduates pursue full-time academic careers supported by peer-reviewed extramural funding and is committed to providing the resources for this success.

 描述（由申请人提供）：虽然现在很明显，男性和女性之间的疾病发病率和症状以及对治疗的反应是不同的，但与性和性别有关的研究仍然是健康研究中一个持续研究不足但至关重要的组成部分。这些差异延伸到实验室动物，甚至延伸到实验室研究中的细胞系。在犹他州建设跨学科研究职业生涯在妇女健康职业发展计划（犹他州BIRCWH计划）将提供犹他州初级教师的指导研究经验，将重点放在他们的发现，翻译和临床研究培训的性别和性别透镜的大学。该犹他州BIRCWH计划将提供一个桥梁，研究独立，并将创建一个独立的科学家骨干解决临床重要的妇女健康问题。该犹他州BIRCWH计划将侧重于产科和妇科系以外的吸引学者来自全国各地的大学，其CTSA附属机构，并在全国各地。BIRCWH计划导师将来自整个大学校园的研究社区，也是我们的CTSA合作机构（山间医疗保健，盐湖弗吉尼亚州，犹他州卫生部）。我们将利用副总统的临床和转化科学（VP-CAT），一个既定的和非常成功的学术职业发展计划。VP-CAT计划（及其行政前身）已连续46届毕业生过渡到校外资助，并获得学术医学教师职位。犹他州BIRCWH学者将完全有机会参与这些成功的项目。VP-CAT的核心是矩阵指导模型（MMM）。MMM将自我指导与高级教师，科学专家，同行和工作人员的指导相结合，以在学术职业发展中取得无与伦比的成功。该犹他州BIRCWH计划的学者候选人从整个大学校园和超越的考虑表明了妇女健康的多个层面和在这个程序的广泛兴趣。首席研究员，PD和咨询委员会主席拥有超过50年的指导经验和NIH资助，并致力于培养下一代多学科女性健康研究人员。将成立一个咨询委员会，每季度召开一次会议，审查学者的职业发展计划，他们的进展，以及他们的导师团队的贡献。该犹他州BIRCWH计划将资助两名学者在同一时间，与任命预计将持续至少两年。所有学者将是初级教师，在任命后六年内完成临床或研究生培训。该犹他州BIRCWH计划打算让所有的毕业生追求由同行评审的校外资金支持的全职学术生涯，并致力于为这一成功提供资源。
