Women's Reproductive Health Research Scholars Program

描述(由申请人提供)：这项建议的目的是更新和维持辛辛那提大学妇女生殖健康研究(WRHR)学者计划，该计划将提高研究技能和专业知识在学术产科和妇科。成为WRHR学者的产科/妇科医生将获得研究专业知识，以便在学术医学的科学职业生涯中具有竞争力并取得成功。该计划将在三到五年的计划中识别、招聘和培训WRHR学者，该计划将根据入门时的专业水平量身定做。培训将主要由一名有良好培训记录的资深科学家在实验室密切指导，辅之以研究生水平的课程。临床科学导师将确保学者的研究方向与临床问题和翻译研究活动的相关性。具体而言，该计划将： 1.确定和选拔有前途的产科/妇科医生作为WRHR学者。 2.利用既定机制确定培训的长度和深度，并评估进展情况。 3.提供分子医学方面的深入教学课程和有指导的实验室经验。 4.为过渡到中国提供理论和实践经验 独立。 5.提供一个环境，让每个学者都能成为独立的调查员。 妇产科的一个核心设施将支持在研究员的科学方案中使用分子生物学、免疫学和成像技术，并进一步为学者向独立调查人员过渡提供资源。每个学者都将被要求学习生物统计学和负责任的研究方法方面的课程。 该计划将由一名计划主任在由六名科学导师组成的执行委员会的协助下进行日常管理。一个由6名内部成员和2名外部成员组成的咨询委员会将每年召开会议，审查学者们的进展情况。该计划由妇产科和辛辛那提大学医学院提供支持。 学者计划的主要重点是提高学者的基本研究技能和专业知识，并使他们熟悉现代科学技术和原理，以便随后将其应用于妇产科的临床问题。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of this proposal is to renew and sustain the University of Cincinnati Women's Reproductive Health Research (WRHR) Scholars' program which will enhance research skills and expertise in academic obstetrics and gynecology. The obstetrician/ gynecologists who become WRHR scholars will gain the investigative expertise to become competitive and successful in scientific careers in academic medicine. The program will identify, recruit and train WRHR scholars in a three to five year program individually tailored to level of expertise at entry. Training will be primarily provided by a close mentorship in the laboratory of a senior scientist with a proven track record of training, complemented by graduate level coursework. A clinical science mentor will ensure the relevance of the scholar's research direction to a clinical problem and to translational research activities. Specifically the program will: 1. Identify and select promising obstetrician/gynecologists as WRHR scholars. 2.Use an established mechanism for defining the length and depth of training and evaluating progress. 3.Provide in-depth didactic coursework and a mentored laboratory experience in molecular medicine. 4.Provide theoretical and practical experience in applying for extramural funds for transition to independence. 5.Provide an environment in which each scholar can become an independent investigator. A core facility in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology will support the use of molecular biology, immunologic and imaging techniques within the scientific programs of the fellows and further provide a resource for the transition of the scholars into independent investigators. Every scholar will be expected to take courses in biostatistics and the responsible conduct of research. The program will be administered on a day-to-day basis by a program director assisted by an executive committee comprised of six of the scientific mentors. An advisory committee with six internal members and two external members who are scientists of national repute will convene annually to review the Scholars' progress. Support for the program is provided by both the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. The primary emphasis of the scholars' program is to enhance the basic research skills and expertise of the scholars and familiarize them with modern scientific techniques and principles, which they can subsequently apply to a clinical problem in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
