The Colorado Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health Progra

描述（由申请人提供）：科罗拉多大学安舒茨医学院（UCAMC）“建立跨学科研究职业生涯在妇女的健康”（科罗拉多BIRCWH）计划更新是提供优秀的初级教师与国家的最先进的跨学科和个性化的职业发展培训，将最大限度地提高他们的能力，建立独立的生物医学研究职业生涯在相关领域改善妇女的健康。从长远来看，我们寻求妇女健康研究领域的利益，并最终，妇女的健康，通过增加一个训练有素的，多样化的研究人员群体的劳动力谁配备回答有关妇女的健康和性别差异的关键科学问题。为了实现这些目标，我们创造了一个环境，培养跨学科合作的重点和互动的研究领域，是必不可少的改善妇女的健康。该科罗拉多BIRCWH将继续被安置在妇女健康研究中心（CWHR），它提供了在校园和支持我们的BIRCWH学者社区的关键方案。此外，自2007年获得科罗拉多BIRCWH资助以来，UCAMC已成功竞争NIH（CCTSI-科罗拉多临床转化科学研究所）的临床和转化科学奖。由CCTSI提供的方案，其中科罗拉多BIRCWH有一个互惠互利的关系，提供了一个丰富的环境，我们的BIRCWH学者在演唱会与BIRCWH的具体方案和CWHR的。UCAMC对BIRCWH的支持非常高，例如医学院院长对BIRCWH的强大财政支持。科罗拉多BIRCWH的领导团队将由Judith Regensteiner博士领导，他将继续担任主要研究者/项目总监（PI/PD），Nanette Santoro担任共同PI/PD。两人都有丰富的指导和研究经验。我们将选择有前途和多样化的BIRCWH学者，因为我们在当前项目期间将与来自我们多个校区和学校的经验丰富的导师（以及导师团队）配对，在整个生命周期中，UCAMC具有强大的实力，包括1.妊娠：胎盘形成、哺乳、胎儿/新生儿编程，2.免疫学/流变学/炎症和3.成人健康：肥胖、更年期、衰老、糖尿病和心血管疾病。学者还将有机会获得UCAMC的机构研究资源，包括跨学科课程和课程，以及大量的核心设施的丰富基础。由于大多数当前研究的复杂性，跨学科研究团队是未来的潮流，我们的BIRCWH学者应该成为非常有利的位置，成为生物医学科学的下一代领导者。鉴于我们的BIRCWH学者在当前计划中的成功，我们渴望通过这次更新继续发展和改进我们的计划。 公共卫生相关性：拟议的方案与妇女健康研究初级教员的职业发展有关。青年教师谁被选中参加 该计划将通过主要导师和团队指导方法获得指导，并获得其他资源，包括生物统计支持，必修和选修课程以及研讨会系列。科罗拉多大学安舒茨医学院（UCAMC）的总体目标是“建立跨学科的研究职业生涯在妇女的健康”（科罗拉多BIRCWH）计划，是提供优秀的初级教师与国家的最先进的跨学科和个性化的职业发展培训，将最大限度地提高他们的能力，建立独立的生物医学研究职业生涯在相关领域，以改善妇女的健康。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus (UCAMC) "Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health" (Colorado BIRCWH) Program renewal is to provide outstanding junior faculty with state-of-the-art interdisciplinary and individualized career development training that will maximize their ability to establish independent biomedical research careers in areas relevant to improving women's health. Long term, we seek to benefit the field of women's health research and ultimately, women's health, by adding a well-trained, diverse group of researchers to the work force who are equipped to answer key scientific questions about women's health and sex differences. To accomplish these goals we have created an environment that nurtures interdisciplinary collaborations in focused and interactive research areas that are essential to improving the health of women. The Colorado BIRCWH will continue to be housed in the Center for Women's Health Research (CWHR), which provides key programs both on campus and in the community that support our BIRCWH Scholars. In addition, since the 2007 award of the Colorado BIRCWH grant, UCAMC has successfully competed for a Clinical and Translational Science Award from NIH (CCTSI- Colorado Clinical Translational Science Institute). The programs offered by the CCTSI, with which the Colorado BIRCWH has a mutually beneficial affiliation, provide a rich environment for our BIRCWH Scholars in concert with the BIRCWH-specific programs and those of the CWHR. The UCAMC has a very high level of support for the BIRCWH, exemplified by strong financial support from the Dean of the School of Medicine for the BIRCWH. The Leadership Team for the Colorado BIRCWH will be headed by Judith Regensteiner, PhD who will continue as Principal Investigator/Program Director (PI/PD) with Nanette Santoro as coPI/PD. Both have extensive mentoring and research experience. We will select promising and diverse BIRCWH Scholars, as we have over the course of the current project period who will be paired with experienced mentors (and who will have mentor teams) from our multiple campuses and schools in 3 interdisciplinary and interrelated focus areas across the lifespan in which UCAMC has great strength including 1. Pregnancy: placentation, lactation, fetal/neonatal programming, 2. Immunology/Rheumatology/Inflammation and 3. Adult Health: obesity, menopause, aging, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Scholars will also have access to UCAMC's rich base of institutional research resources including interdisciplinary programs and coursework, as well as substantial core facilities. Because of the complexity of most current research, interdisciplinary research teams are the wave of the future and our BIRCWH Scholars should become extraordinarily well-positioned to be the next generation of leaders in biomedical science. Given the success of our BIRCWH Scholars in the current program we are eager to continue developing and improving our program through this renewal. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed program is relevant to career development of junior faculty in women's health research. Junior faculty who are selected for participation in the program will receive mentoring through by a primary mentor and team mentoring approach as well as access to other resources including biostatistical support, required and optional coursework and a Seminar series. The overall objective of the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus (UCAMC) "Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health" (Colorado BIRCWH) Program, is to provide outstanding junior faculty with state-of-the-art interdisciplinary and individualized career development training that will maximize their ability t establish independent biomedical research careers in areas relevant to improving women's health.
