Career Enhancement Core

摘要 职业提升核心(CEC)将负责实施创新计划，以增强 合作、培训、教育、招募新的调查人员和社区外联。CEC与 与领导行政核心(LAC)密切合作，落实CEC的具体目标， 具体监督提供种子赠款资金的试点和可行性方案的实施情况； 招聘和指导青年调查员、组织教育会议和社区 外展。CEC的具体目标是：1)为与以下相关的创新研究提供种子赠款资金 总体分数任务和加州大学洛杉矶分校的分数研究计划导致校外资金，2)招募 并促进学生、实习生和初级调查人员的职业发展 关于脑肠疾病的性别差异或女性健康，3)促进和促进 加州大学洛杉矶分校的分数和其他涉及女性健康教育和研究的学术项目，以及4) 通过社区外展活动，宣传性作为生物变量的重要性 协作性和创新性的方法。CEC将通过以下方式利用校园现有的试点赠款计划 提供补充资金以支持新的翻译研究，重点是大脑中的性别差异- 肠道互动和/或女性健康。这些助学金计划为范围广泛的年轻人提供支持 调查人员从本科生到初级教职员工。我们的中心有着悠久的历史 成功招募和指导年轻调查人员，其中一半以上是女性，组织教育 会议和研究会议，并实施社区外展，以提高公众意识和 对脑-肠道微生物组科学感兴趣。使用相同的团队和方法，我们还将宣传性作为一种 通过讲座、研讨会和社交媒体进行生物变量研究，这将对 教育和提高公众对性别差异和妇女健康的认识。

ABSTRACT The Career Enhancement Core (CEC) will be responsible for implementing innovative programs to enhance collaborations, training, education, recruitment of new investigators, and community outreach. The CEC with work closely with the Leadership Administrative Core (LAC) to carry out the specific aims of the CEC, specifically overseeing the implementation of the pilot and feasibility programs to provide seed grant funding, the recruitment and mentoring of young investigators, organization of educational conferences and community outreach. The specific aims of the CEC are: 1) To provide seed grant funds for innovative research relevant to the overall SCORE mission and the UCLA SCORE research program leading to extramural funds, 2) To recruit and foster the career development of students, trainees and junior investigators who conduct research focused on sex differences or women's health in brain-gut disorders, 3) To facilitate and promote collaboration between the UCLA SCORE and other academic programs involved in women's health education and research, and 4) To promote the importance of sex as a biological variable (SABV) through community outreach using collaborative and innovative approaches. The CEC will leverage existing pilot grant programs on campus by providing supplemental funds to support novel translational research with a focus on sex differences in brain- gut interactions and/or women's health. These grant programs provide support to a wide range of young investigators from undergraduate students to junior faculty. Our Center has a longstanding history of successfully recruiting and mentoring young investigators with over half being women, organizing educational conferences and research meetings, and implementing community outreach to foster public awareness and interest in brain-gut microbiome science. Using the same team and approach, we will also promote sex as a biologic variable research with lectures, seminars and via social media which will contribute tremendously to educating and raising public awareness on sex differences and women's health.
