Reproductive Scientist Development Program

项目摘要/摘要 生殖科学家发展计划(RSDP)是一个高度多样化、多学科、多领域的 细胞和分子生物学专业妇产科医生机构研究职业发展计划 以及相关的基础科学。这项计划的目标是教育妇产科医生 与生殖医学和生物学有关的当代基础科学研究，以便为 学术医学方面的研究生涯。总体目标是帮助确保学术产科和 妇科履行其使命，增加生殖科学的研究和发现。杰出的 具有广泛研究经验的医学博士、博士和医学博士科学家担任教师导师。 这一计划的一个独特之处在于，优秀的个人在完成产科住院医师培训后 和妇科，在许多情况下，两年或三年的临床专科研究员，花两年 (第一阶段)在有经验的基础科学研究实验室的监督和指导下， 备受推崇的有成就的科学家。在第一阶段，学者将致力于至少75% 受保护的研究成果。在这段经历之后，学者们又花了两年的时间 建立他们在妇产科的研究计划(第二阶段)和过渡 为独立干杯。在这里，学者作为初级教员，至少有75%的时间致力于 发展独立的研究事业。在过去的五(5)年里，对学者的工资支持是 由NICHD提供，而与研究有关的费用则由各种非 为RSDP计划做出贡献的联邦机构。 根据这一机制提供的资金将在第一阶段期间继续资助至多2名学者 和第二阶段。该计划将继续教育年轻的内科科学家产科和妇科 并补充生殖科学家的渠道。RSDP在实现这一目标方面有着丰富的历史 已经并致力于继续其目标，即培养高度 联邦和非联邦研究资金的竞争以及谁将成为我们的下一任领导人 学术产科和妇科。

Project Summary/Abstract The Reproductive Scientist Development Program (RSDP) is a highly diverse, multi-disciplinary, multi- institutional research career development program for obstetrician-gynecologists in cell and molecular biology and related fundamental sciences. The objective of this program is to educate obstetrician-gynecologists in contemporary basic science research related to reproductive medicine and biology in order to prepare them for research careers in academic medicine. The overall goal is to help ensure that academic obstetrics and gynecology fulfills its mission to increase research and discovery in the reproductive sciences. Outstanding MD/PhD, PhD, and MD scientists with broad research experience serve as faculty mentors. A unique feature of this program is that outstanding individuals, upon completing a residency in obstetrics and gynecology, and in many cases two or three years of clinical subspecialty fellowship, spend two years (Phase I) in fundamental science research laboratories under the supervision and mentorship of experienced, highly regarded accomplished scientists. During Phase I, Scholars are dedicated to a minimum of 75% protected research effort. Following this experience, Scholars spend an additional two-year period establishing their research program in a Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Phase II) and transitioning to independence. Here, the Scholar serves as a junior faculty member with at least 75% time devoted to developing an independent research career. For the past five (5) years, salary support for scholars has been provided by NICHD, while support for research related expenses has been provided from the various non- federal agencies who contribute to the RSDP program. NICHD funding under this mechanism will continue to support up to 2 Scholars for the duration of Phase I and Phase II. This program will continue to educate young physician scientists in Obstetrics and Gynecology and replenish the pipeline of reproductive scientists. The RSDP has a rich history of accomplishing this goal already and is committed to continuing its objective of producing physician scientists who are highly competitive for federal and non-federal research funding and who will become the next leaders of our academic obstetrics and gynecology departments.
