DEVELOPMENT OF SCHOLARS IN OB-GYN FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

布里格姆妇女医院(BWH)妇女生殖健康研究职业发展中心(中心)的目标是组织和整合高级调查人员(导师)的努力，培训产科-妇科医生(学者)，以发展为成熟的、广泛胜任的和独立的调查人员。增加训练有素的妇产科研究人员的数量将加快将基础科学成果转化为妇女生殖健康疾病的新预防措施和治疗方法的步伐。BWH中心建立在5个核心原则之上。1)面向妇产科医生的最好的研究发展计划将具有基本研究技能的高级内科研究员和博士科学家聚集在一个中心。2)拥有国家卫生研究院资助的独立研究和研究生培训记录的高级调查人员在将学者培养成成熟的、广泛胜任的独立调查人员方面特别有效。BWH中心包括大约25名由NIH资助的独立研究人员，他们参与了400多名博士后研究员的培训。3)一个中心必须包括生物研究的关键领域，这些领域将为促进妇女生殖健康提供最有力的工具：生殖遗传学、生殖免疫学和传染病、生殖发育生物学、生殖细胞生物学、生殖生理学和生殖流行病学。4)中心必须有一流的实验室设施，教学培训，以及部门和机构的承诺。该中心的导师运营着拥有超过5万平方英尺设备齐全的研究空间的实验室，并组织了研讨会和期刊俱乐部。5)为了培养能够成功从事独立研究的学者，中心必须吸引最合格的候选人，并为他们提供足够的时间来完成他们的研究经验。学者将得到BWH的等额资金支持，并保证80%的研究时间在中心。我们相信，我们的中心将吸引一批医学博士/博士S、医学博士/医学硕士S和医学博士S。中心将重点招募女性和少数族裔学者。一旦选定候选人，中心将确保每位学者完成5年的研究开发，包括任何先前的正式研究经验。我们提出的研究开发计划将支持至少4名学者，他们将发展成为21世纪妇产科研究的领军人物。

The objective of the Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) Women's Reproductive Health Research Career Development Center (the Center) is to organize and integrate the efforts of senior investigators (the Mentors) to train obstetrician-gynecologists (the Scholars) to develop into mature, broadly competent and independent investigators. Increasing the number of well-trained investigators in obstetrics and gynecology will increase the pace of translation of basic science findings into new preventive measures and treatments of women's reproductive health disorders. The BWH Center is built upon 5 core principles. 1) The best research development program for obstetrician-gynecologists brings together, in a single Center, both senior physician investigators and Ph.D. scientists with basic research skills. 2) Senior investigators who have independent, NIH-funded research and a record in postgraduate training are especially effective in developing Scholars into mature, broadly competent and independent investigators. The BWH Center includes approximately 25 independent NIH funded investigators who have been involved in the training of more than 400 postdoctoral fellows. 3) A Center must include key areas of biological research that will provide the most powerful tools to advance women's reproductive health: reproductive genetics, reproductive immunology and infectious diseases, reproductive developmental biology, reproductive cell biology, reproductive physiology and reproductive epidemiology. 4) A Center must have superlative laboratory facilities, didactic training, and the commitment of the Department and Institution. The Mentors in the Center run laboratories with over 50,000 square feet of fully equipped research space and have organized seminars and journal clubs. 5) To develop Scholars who can successfully pursue an independent research career, the Center must attract the most qualified candidates and provide them with adequate time to complete their research experience. Scholars will be supported by matching funds from the BWH and guaranteed 80 percent research time in the Center. We believe our Center will attract a highly talented pool of M.D./Ph.D.'s, M.D./M.P.H.'s, and M.D.'s. The Center will emphasize the recruitment of women and minority Scholars. Once a candidate is selected, the Center will ensure that each Scholar completes 5 years of research development, including any prior formal research experience. The research development program we propose will support at least 4 Scholars who will develop into leaders in obstetrical and gynecological research in the 21st century.
