Clinical Research and Academic Success in Obstetrics & Gynecology

项目总结 妇产科疾病(OBGYN)和妇女健康 对美国和全球的公共健康和家庭产生了深远的影响。此外, 其中许多医疗保健问题对贫穷和少数族裔妇女的影响不成比例， 怀孕的人。例如，婴儿和孕产妇的发病率和死亡率、早产、 出生体重、意外怀孕、性传播感染、不孕和宫颈 癌症对穷人和有色人种的影响比白人和白人更大 更有钱的人。不幸的是，缺乏训练有素的妇产科临床医生。 调查人员解决这些重要的公共卫生问题。此R13的目的是 申请为10个会议/课程提供支持(为期5年，每年两次)进行培训 OBGYN临床研究设计、生物统计学、研究伦理行为方面的初级研究人员， 和学术成就(例如，出版、基金撰写、晋升等)。的具体目标 此应用程序的目的是：1)为不同的教职员工群体提供支持，以创建 临床研究设计和学术成功的教育、互动和鼓舞人心的课程 在妇产科和妇女健康研究方面；2)招聘有前途和多样化的初级教员和 参加课程的OBGYN研究员将为他们的部门带来有价值的见解， 对妇产科研究感兴趣的导师研究员、妇产科住院医生和医学生，以及 推进尖端科学，最终改善妇产科医生和妇女的健康；以及3) 根据学员的反馈，通过迭代的方法评估和改进本课程 并通过跟踪参与者一段时间来评估“成功”。通过跟踪来定义成功 学术指标，如同行评议的出版物数量、提交的补助金和 获得、学术进步(例如，晋升)和奖励。我们还将跟踪我们的 招聘不同的教职员工和与会者。这门课程将一如既往地具有创新性 从虚拟会议开始，建立基准知识库并调整课程本身 并将在18-24个月内跟踪参与者以评估成功。它会刺激 通过促进集思广益的会议、小组讨论、预定的、有意的 一对一互动(辅导课程)；本课程的最终目标是培养新的 并鼓舞了一群新的OBGYN调查人员，他们将准备推动 美国和国外的妇女和孕妇。

PROJECT SUMMARY Diseases and disorders in Obstetrics and Gynecology (OBGYN) and women’s health have a profound impact on public health and families in the U.S. and around the globe. In addition, many of these healthcare issues disproportionately impact poor and minoritized women and pregnant people. For example, infant and maternal morbidity and mortality, preterm birth, low birth weight, unintended pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, infertility, and cervical cancer all impact impoverished persons and persons of color to a greater extent than white and more affluent individuals. Unfortunately, there is a lack of well-trained OBGYN clinical investigators to address these important public health problems. The purpose of this R13 application is to provide support for 10 conferences/courses (twice per year for 5 years) to train junior OBGYN investigators in clinical research design, biostatistics, ethical conduct of research, and academic success (e.g., publishing, grant writing, promotions, etc.). The specific aims of this application are to: 1) provide support for a diverse group of faculty that will create an educational, interactive, and inspiring course in clinical research design and academic success in OBGYN and women’s health research; 2) recruit promising and diverse junior faculty and fellows in OBGYN who will attend the course, bring back valuable insights to their departments, mentor fellows, OBGYN residents and medical students interested in OBGYN research, and advance cutting edge science that will ultimately improve OBGYN and women’s health; and 3) evaluate and improve this course through iterative approach with feedback from participants and by tracking attendees over time to assess “success.” Success with be defined by tracking academic metrics such as the number of peer-reviewed publications, grants submitted and obtained, and academic advancement (e.g., promotion) and awards. We will also track our recruitment of diverse faculty and conference attendees. The course will be innovative as it will begin with virtual meetings to establish a baseline knowledge base and to tailor the course itself to attendees and will follow participants over 18-24 months to assess success. It will stimulate new ideas through facilitated brainstorming sessions, group discussions, scheduled, intentional one-on-one interactions (mentoring sessions); The ultimate goal of this course is to train a new and inspired group of new OBGYN investigators who will be poised to advance the health of women and pregnant people in the U.S. and abroad.
