Midcareer Investigator Award in Women's Health Research

描述(由申请人提供)：妇女健康研究职业生涯中期研究员奖的目的是为布朗医学院妇产科研究部主任Jeffrey F.Peipert博士提供支持。Peipert博士在产科/妇科和流行病学方面都有培训和经验。指导职责包括：1)在流行病学和临床试验方面担任Brown T32妇产科培训项目的首席研究员；2)Brown BIRCWH项目主任(K12；建立妇女健康领域的跨学科研究事业)；以及3)指导众多研究人员，其中包括两名获得K23奖项的医生和一名现任Brown妇女健康卓越中心主任的医生。Peipert博士在完成产科/妇科和流行病学的专科培训后15年内，有资格续期他现有的K24奖项。在目前的K24期间，Peipert博士通过完成布朗大学流行病学博士[学位]的课程要求和全面考试，进一步发展了他以患者为导向的研究人员的职业生涯。Peipert博士自最初申请K24以来，一直保持着较高的生产力水平，发表了40多篇同行评议的出版物。本K24的更新将使Peipert博士能够实现以下目标：1)继续进行高质量、以患者为导向的妇女健康研究；2)利用他新的高级流行病学和统计学培训进行这项研究并教授初级教员；3)继续鼓励和指导妇女健康研究方面的初级研究人员。Peipert博士的长期目标是：1)促进有效的妇女保健实践的“科学现状”和“证据”；2)成为对临床研究感兴趣的年轻科学家的榜样；3)培养一支对妇女健康研究感兴趣的新的临床科学家队伍。此次续签将使Peipert博士能够进一步减少行政和临床责任，以便他可以将时间投入到以患者为导向的研究和指导上。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this Midcareer Investigator Award in Women's Health Research is to provide support for Dr. Jeffrey F. Peipert, Director of the Division of Research in the Department of Obstetrics/Gynecology, Brown Medical School. Dr. Peipert has training and experience in both obstetrics/gynecology and epidemiology. Mentoring duties include: 1) Principal Investigator of the Brown T32 training program for OB/GYNs in epidemiology and clinical trials; 2) Program Director for the Brown BIRCWH (K12; Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health); and 3) mentor numerous researchers including two physicians with K23 awards and one physician who is now the Director of the Brown Center of Excellence in Women's Health. Dr. Peipert is within 15 years of completing his subspecialty training in obstetrics/gynecology and epidemiology, and thus is eligible for renewal of his existing K24 award. During the period of the current K24, Dr. Peipert has furthered his career as a patient-oriented researcher by completing the course requirements and comprehensive examinations for the Ph.D. [degree] in epidemiology at Brown. Dr. Peipert has maintained a high level of productivity with over 40 peer-reviewed publications since his original application for a K24. The renewal of this K24 will allow Dr. Peipert to accomplish the following objectives: 1) continue to perform high-quality, patient-oriented research in women's health; 2) utilize his new advanced epidemiologic and statistical training to perform this research and to teach junior faculty; 3) continue to encourage and mentor junior investigators in women's health research. Dr. Peipert's long term objectives are to: 1) advance the "state-of-the-science" and "evidence" for effective women's health care practices; 2) serve as a role model for young scientists interested in clinical investigation; and 3) train a new cadre of clinical scientists interested in women's health research. This renewal will allow Dr. Peipert to further reduce administrative and clinical responsibilities so that he can devote time to patient-oriented research and mentoring.
