背景：越来越多的国家项目和领导者将跨学科合作视为未来研究的关键。十二年前，美国国立卫生研究院 (NIH) 妇女健康研究办公室 (ORWH) 制定并实施了建立妇女健康跨学科研究职业 (BIRCWH) K12 计划，重点关注女性健康研究初级教师的跨学科指导职业发展。方法：我们采用了混合方法，通过电子调查、现场演示和讨论来了解 BIRCWH K12 计划跨学科指导的最佳实践和经验教训结果和结论：我们收到了所有 29 个活跃的 BIRCWH 计划的回复。与成功相关的因素包括确保有足够的受保护时间进行定期（每周或每两周）指导；促进学者研究独立性的导师；团队指导方法，包括职业和内容导师；学者和导师之间明确明确的期望。大多数项目都会对导师进行正式评估，79% 的项目为学者、导师或两者提供导师培训。本文介绍了项目负责人使用跨学科指导方法指导从事女性健康研究的初级教师的最佳实践、挑战和经验教训，无论是基础研究、临床研究、行为研究、转化研究还是健康服务研究。
Background: Increasingly, national programs and leaders are looking at interdisciplinary collaborations as essential to future research. Twelve years ago, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH) developed and implemented the Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health (BIRCWH) K12 program to focus on interdisciplinary mentored career development for junior faculty in women's health research.Methods: We applied a mixed-methods approach using an electronic survey and in-person presentations and discussions to understand best practices and lessons learned for interdisciplinary mentoring across BIRCWH K12 program leaders.Results and Conclusions: We received responses from all 29 active BIRCWH programs. Factors associated with success included ensuring sufficient protected time for regular (weekly or biweekly) mentoring; mentors promoting the research independence of the Scholar; a team mentoring approach, including career as well as content mentors; and explicit and clear expectations outlined between the Scholar and mentor. The majority of programs conduct formal evaluations of mentorship, and 79% of programs offer training in mentorship for either Scholars, mentors, or both. This article presents program leaders' best practices, challenges, and lessons learned from mentoring junior faculty who are conducting women's health research, whether basic, clinical, behavioral, translational, or health services research, using an interdisciplinary mentoring approach.
