Cincinnati Interdisciplinary Women's Health Research Career Training Grant

描述（由申请人提供）：该计划的目标是建立一个妇女健康学者跨学科研究职业计划（BIRCWH），该计划将确定和培训辛辛那提大学医学院和儿童医院医学中心妇女健康研究领域的初级教员。该项目将以妇产科为基础，但包括来自医学院8个不同院系（细胞生物学、环境健康、分子和细胞生理学、分子遗传学、病理学和检验医学、药理学和细胞生物学以及药学院）和儿科4个院系(发育生物学、内分泌学、肺生物学和新生儿科)，它位于医学院和街对面的儿童医院医疗中心。所有导师在医学院都有全职职位。我们项目的目的是为初级教师提供直接应用于妇女健康的研究领域的高级指导培训。该项目旨在培养这些学者在重点研究领域的研究技能和知识，使他们成为妇女健康研究领域训练有素、极具竞争力的独立科学家和临床科学家。我们的目标是在我们的机构培养和留住这些学者，以便在未来的学术医学事业中取得成功。BIRCWH学者将获得受保护的时间来制定他们的研究计划，并将由心血管科学、发育生物学、生殖健康或环境对生殖和工作场所健康的影响方面的知名研究人员进行指导，因为这直接适用于妇女健康。在过去的几年里，辛辛那提大学医学院在妇女健康项目领域进行了大量投资。我们的BIRCWH职业发展计划将进一步提供一个独特的机会，利用我们在辛辛那提大学医学院和儿童医院医学中心的强大研究基础，提供一个持续的多学科，跨部门以及互动研究和学术培训计划。BIRCWH的学员将有机会获得广泛而深入的培训经验，有一位资深的主要导师和副导师，以及许多其他忠诚的导师，他们将帮助丰富他们的科学和智力培训，并为他们的职业发展提供多种榜样。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this program is to establish an Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health Scholars Program (BIRCWH) that will identify and train junior faculty members at the College of Medicine at the University of Cincinnati and Children's Hospital Medical Center in the area of Women's Health Research. This program will be based in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology but includes mentors from eight different academic departments of the Medical School (Cell Biology, Environmental Health, Molecular and Cellular Physiology, Molecular Genetics, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Pharmacology and Cell Biology, and the College of Pharmacy) and four divisions of the Department of Pediatrics (Developmental Biology, Endocrinology, Pulmonary Biology and Neonatology) which is located in both College of Medicine and in the Children's Hospital Medical Center which is across the street. All mentors have fulltime appointments in the College of Medicine. The purpose of our program will be to provide junior faculty with advanced mentored training in research areas that have a direct application to Women's Health. This program plans to develop these Scholars research skills and knowledge in focused areas of research so they will become well-trained and highly competitive independent scientist and clinician-scientist in the area of Women's Health research. It is our goal to train and retain these Scholars at our institution for the future development for successful careers in academic medicine. The BIRCWH Scholars will be given protected time to establish their research program and will be mentored by an established investigator in cardiovascular sciences, developmental biology, reproductive health or environmental influences on reproductive and workplace health as it directly applies to Women's Health. Over the last several years, the College of Medicine at the University of Cincinnati has made substantial investments in the area of Women's Health programs. Our BIRCWH Career Development program will further provide a unique opportunity to utilize our strong research basis at the College of Medicine at the University of Cincinnati and Children's Hospital Medical Center to provide a continuing multidisciplinary, cross-departmental as well as an interactive research and academic training program. BIRCWH Scholar's will be exposed to a broad and in-depth training experience with an established primary mentor and secondary mentor as well as many other committed mentors who will help enrich their scientific and intellectual training and will provide multiple role models to enhance their career development.
