DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Northwestern University (NU) Building Interdisciplinary Career's in Women's Health (BIRCWH) Career Development in Women's Health (CDWH) program was established in 2007 to train the next generation of scientists for independent, interdisciplinary careers in the science of sex differences and in other fields relevant to women's health. This objective will continue to be accomplished by bringing together a cadre of mentors with expertise in reproductive sciences and in diseases that differentially affect women to provide the Scholars with interdisciplinary research experiences relevant to elucidating sex and gender factors affecting health. In so doing, the NU BIRCWH CDWH Program will also enhance the career development of junior faculty, with particular attention to addressing work-life balance issues that can be especially challenging for women faculty. The institutional excellence in reproductive sciences and in diseases differentially affecting women, strong collaborative culture of NU and ongoing commitment of institutional resources to career development have greatly facilitated the Program. The Program has been exceptionally successful in the first award period matriculating eight Scholars and graduating five, three of whom now have independent grant support. One Scholar who has completed the Program was an under-represented minority. The Mentors have been selected for their expertise in the overarching themes relevant to women's health identified in the RFA: Lifespan, Sex/Gender Determinants, Health Disparities/Differences and Diversity, and Interdisciplinary Research. They are based in seven departments in Feinberg School of Medicine (Medicine, Neurology, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Preventive Medicine, and Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences) and Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences (Molecular Biosciences, Neurobiology and Physiology). There are six general areas of NU BIRCWH CDWH Mentor expertise: 1) cardiovascular health and disease; 2) epidemiology and behavioral science; 3) immune function - autoimmunity and infectious diseases; 4) metabolic function; 5) neuroscience; and 6) reproductive biology. It should be noted that many of the NU BIRCWH CDWH Mentors have longstanding programs that are interdisciplinary in nature, which means that they could fit well within more than one of our research categories. NU BIRCWH CDWH Scholars will be assigned Mentors from at least two different disciplines and training backgrounds for interdisciplinary research and career development. Each Scholar's Mentors will interact closely with the Scholar and provide guidance to develop a tailored career development plan as part of an interdisciplinary mentoring team. The Mentors are all committed to continuing their involvement throughout the award period. The Program will continue to be monitored by the External Advisory Committee whose members are all BIRCWH PIs at other institutions as well as by the Oversight Committee. Formal Program evaluation has already been implemented by the NU Searle Center for Teaching Excellence.

描述（由申请人提供）：西北大学（NU）建立跨学科职业的妇女健康（BIRCWH）职业发展妇女健康（CDWH）计划成立于2007年，培养下一代科学家的独立，跨学科的职业生涯在性别差异的科学和其他领域有关妇女的健康。这一目标将继续通过汇集一批在生殖科学和对妇女有不同影响的疾病方面具有专门知识的导师，为学者们提供与阐明影响健康的性和性别因素有关的跨学科研究经验来实现。在这样做的时候，NU BIRCWH CDWH计划还将加强初级教师的职业发展，特别注意解决工作与生活的平衡问题，这对女教师来说尤其具有挑战性。生殖科学和对妇女有不同影响的疾病方面的机构卓越性，NU强大的合作文化以及机构资源对职业发展的持续承诺极大地促进了该计划。该计划在第一个奖项期间非常成功，录取了8名学者，毕业5人，其中3人现在有独立的赠款支持。一名完成该方案的学者是代表性不足的少数民族。挑选这些导师是因为他们在RFA中确定的与妇女健康有关的总体主题方面具有专门知识：寿命、性/性别决定因素、健康差异/差异和多样性以及跨学科研究。他们设在医学院的七个部门（医学，神经病学，妇产科，预防医学，精神病学和行为科学）和温伯格艺术与科学学院（分子生物科学，神经生物学和生理学）。NU BIRCWH CDWH Mentor的专业知识有六个一般领域：1）心血管健康和疾病; 2）流行病学和行为科学; 3）免疫功能-自身免疫和传染病; 4）代谢功能; 5）神经科学;和6）生殖生物学。应该指出的是，许多NU BIRCWH CDWH导师都有长期的跨学科计划，这意味着他们可以很好地适应我们的研究类别之一。NU BIRCWH CDWH学者将被分配来自至少两个不同学科和跨学科研究和职业发展培训背景的导师。每个学者的导师将与学者密切互动，并提供指导，以制定量身定制的职业发展计划，作为跨学科指导团队的一部分。导师们都致力于在整个颁奖期间继续参与。该方案将继续由外部咨询委员会以及监督委员会监督，外部咨询委员会的成员都是其他机构的BIRCWH PI。正式的课程评估已经由NU Searle卓越教学中心实施。
