Brown Medical School/WIHRI Dept of Ob/Gyn WRHR Program

描述（由申请人提供）：布朗大学妇婴医院妇产科生殖健康研究项目的目标是通过培养合格的新妇产科医生调查员，促进研究成果的表现和转移，从而有利于妇女的健康。该计划将通过实现以下目标来实现这一目标：1)为每位WRHR学者提供病理生物学、研究设计、统计方法、研究行为、科学出版、拨款写作等核心课程，以及成为妇女健康领域成功的独立研究者所需的其他“工具”；2)为每位WRHR学者提供合适的导师，导师可以提供指导和专业知识，以确保作为独立研究者的成功学术发展和技能；3)提供研究基础设施和充足的保护时间，以创造有利于调查妇女健康的环境。该计划将利用研究部/乔治·安德森结果测量部门、布朗大学/WIH妇女健康卓越中心、伍兹霍尔海洋生物实验室、国家围产期信息中心（NPIC）和罗德岛大学癌症预防研究中心（CPRC）的现有优势。Brown/WIH项目的高级导师和支持研究人员的共同主题是将基础研究转化为以患者为导向的临床研究，以改善妇女健康。我们的具体重点专业领域共享这一统一概念，包括：流行病学/统计方法和社区卫生；2)围产期诊断与管理/妊娠早期筛查；3)转化免疫学，HIV & AIDS；4)妇女药物滥用；5)妇女健康方面的行为改变；6)发育生物学和细胞动力学。这一多学科方案将提供一批新的学术研究骨干，他们将进一步完善科学数据库并改善妇女的健康状况。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the Brown University Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology's Program in Reproductive Health Research at Women & Infants Hospital is to promote the performance of research and transfer of findings that will benefit the health of women through the development of well-qualified, new obstetrician/gynecologist investigators. The program will achieve this goal by accomplishing the following objectives: 1) provide each WRHR Scholar with a core curriculum in pathobiology, research design, statistical methods, conduct of research, scientific publishing, grant writing, and additional "tools" necessary to become a successful independent investigator in women's health; 2) provide each WRHR Scholar with a suitable mentor who can provide the guidance and expertise to assure successful academic development and skills as an independent investigator; 3) provide the research infrastructure and adequate protected time to create an environment conducive to investigation into women's health. The Program will take advantage of the existing strengths of the Division of Research/George Anderson Outcomes Measurement Unit, Brown/WIH Center of Excellence in Women's Health, Brown University, the Woods Hole Marine Biology Laboratory, the National Perinatal Information Center (NPIC), and the Cancer Prevention Research Center (CPRC) at the University of Rhode Island. The theme which unites the senior mentors and supporting investigators involved in the Brown/WIH Program is the translation of basic research into patient-oriented, clinical research to improve women's health. This uniting concept is shared by our specific focal areas of expertise including:!) epidemiologic/statistical methods and community health; 2) perinatal diagnosis and management/screening in early pregnancy; 3) translational immunology, HIV & AIDS; 4) substance abuse in women; 5) behavior change in women's health; and 6) developmental biology and cell dynamics. This multidisciplinary program will provide a new cadre of academic investigators who will further the scientific database and improve the health status of women.
