Cincinnati Interdisciplinary Women's Health Research Career Training Grant

描述(由申请人提供)：本次竞争性续签申请的总体目标是维持有效的妇女健康研究跨学科研究职业学者计划，其使命是在辛辛那提大学(UC)医学院(COM)和辛辛那提儿童医院医学中心(CCHMC)内识别和培训初级教员。这两个机构位于街对面，共享教职员工，所有CCHMC教职员工都在加州大学预约。这两个机构还分享了2009年4月资助的共同的NIH机构临床和转化科学奖(CTSA)。CTSA的学术中心是临床和翻译科学与培训中心(CCTST)。我们的第一个BIRCWH奖设在妇产科，但我们培训了来自许多部门的学者，包括内科、精神病学、外科、细胞生物学和儿科。因此，对于续签，我们将把BIRCWH K12项目放在CCTST中，通过该项目，BIRCWH K12学者将获得行政支持和大量研究资源，包括研究设计、数据库管理、数据分析、试点资金、研究教育和监管支持；CCTST还运行CTSA KL2研究学者项目，并拥有非常成功的K23准备过程。我们的BIRCWH项目在发展妇女健康领域的初级教员方面建立了良好的记录。最初毕业的3名学者被招募到全职教师职位--1名在德克萨斯大学西南分校，1名在加州大学洛杉矶分校，1名在加州大学环境健康系；所有3名都是独立资助的。BIRCWH的续签申请集中在6个主要领域：癌症、发育生物学、药理学/药物遗传学、生殖健康、青少年妇科和行为医学。与第一个BIRCWH一样，我们计划一次培训4名学者：2名医学博士和2名博士。学者将有3年的受保护时间用于指导研究和职业发展。我们已经组建了一支导师队伍，他们至少有25万美元的资金；在妇女健康方面的指导记录，以及她们自己受保护的指导时间。我们还计划为开始指导其他人的职业生涯中期的教职员工建立一个导师培训计划。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall objective of this competitive renewal application is to sustain an effective Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health Research (BIRCWH) Scholars Program, whose mission is to identify and train junior faculty members within the University of Cincinnati (UC) College of Medicine (COM) and the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC). The 2 institutions are located across the street from each other and share faculty, with all CCHMC faculty having appointments at UC. The 2 institutions also share a common NIH Institutional Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) funded in April 2009. The academic home for the CTSA is the Center for Clinical and Translational Science and Training (CCTST). Our first BIRCWH award was based in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, but we trained Scholars from many departments, including Internal Medicine, Psychiatry, Surgery, Cell Biology and Pediatrics. Thus, for the renewal, we will house the BIRCWH K12 program in the CCTST, through which BIRCWH K12 scholars will have access to administrative support and a vast array of research resources, including study design, database management, data analysis, pilot funding, research education, and regulatory support; the CCTST also runs the CTSA KL2 Research Scholars program and has a very successful K23 preparation process. Our BIRCWH program has established a track record of developing junior faculty in the area of women's health. The first 3 Scholars who graduated were recruited to full-time faculty positions - 1 at University of Texas - Southwestern, 1 at UCLA, and 1 at UC's Department of Environmental Health; all 3 are independently funded. The BIRCWH renewal application focuses in 6 main areas: cancer, developmental biology, pharmacology/pharmacogenetics, reproductive health, adolescent gynecology, and behavioral medicine. As with the first BIRCWH, we plan to train 4 scholars at a time: 2 MDs and 2 PhDs. Scholars will have 3 years of protected time for mentored research and career development. We have assembled a cadre of mentors who have at least $250,000 of funding; a track record of mentoring in women's health, and their own protected time for mentorship. We also plan to institute a Mentor-in-Training program for mid- career faculty who are beginning to mentor others.
