The Johns Hopkins Clinical Research Scholars in Women's Health (BIRCWH)

项目摘要/摘要 约翰霍普金斯大学BIRCWH计划(JH-BIRCWH)的首要目标是开发出高质量、 独立调查人员，他们将对妇女的健康、性和性别进行创新和重大的调查 差异研究。该项目代表了约翰·霍普金斯大学的成功和强有力的合作 医学院、护理学和公共卫生学院。在我们的第一期支持中，我们招募了10名学者，全部 来自不同学科的杰出初级调查员，包括5名代表性不足的少数族裔。成功之路 该计划的成功证明了他们的成功：100%(5/5)JH-BIRCWH校友获得了新的外部联邦 和/或基金会研究经费。由于JH-BIRCWH的指导和职业发展，这些 学者们继续发展成为创新、跨学科研究的独立研究者和领导者。 学者们通过生命历程的视角拓宽了他们的理解，特别关注 对多样化和高危人群的健康需求进行研究。在下一个拟议的支持期内， 我们的JH-BIRCWH项目处于持续成功的有利地位。与研究办公室关于 妇女健康(ORWH)战略计划(2019-2023年)，我们将继续招聘积极进取的初级教师 学者，优先考虑研究中代表性不足的群体的调查人员。我们将在 为我们以学员为中心、基于能力的跨学科职业发展奠定了坚实的基础 发展。JH-BIRCWH项目的关键资源是具有丰富国际经验的干部队伍 积极从事与女性健康或性别/性别差异相关的研究的公认教职员工，以及 致力于支持和赞助学者项目。JH-BIRCWH计划的三个核心优势领域 这些疾病是：1)妇女特有的疾病(如妇女癌症和生殖生物学)；2)性和性别 疾病表现的差异(例如，免疫学、神经科学、心血管和遗传学)；以及3)社会 妇女健康的决定因素和差异(例如，对妇女的暴力、创伤、成瘾和贫穷)。 在此行政补充期间，JH-BIRCWH每年将资助1名学者。这位学者将获得 来自多学科团队的专家指导以及资金，以及获得符合以下条件的机构资源 也适用于我们目前的BIRCWH学者队列。这位学者的长期目标是建立自己的事业 作为一名临床科学家和独立研究员，专注于确定新的临床和社区基础 消除黑人妇女母体心脏代谢结局中的种族差异的战略。与 在这笔补充资金的支持下，他们将做好充分准备，领导跨学科团队改进 通过增进她们对性别差异和妇女特有的健康关切的理解， 更普遍，或者在女性中有不同的后果。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The overarching goal of the Johns Hopkins BIRCWH program (JH-BIRCWH) is to develop highly qualified, independent investigators who will conduct innovative and significant women’s health and sex and gender differences research. The program represents a successful and robust collaboration of the Johns Hopkins Schools of Medicine, Nursing, and Public Health. In our first period of support, we recruited 10 Scholars, all outstanding junior investigators from diverse disciplines, including 5 under-represented minorities. The success of the program is illustrated by their success: 100% (5/5) JH-BIRCWH alumni secured new external federal and/or foundation research funding. Because of JH-BIRCWH mentorship and career development, these Scholars continue to develop as independent investigators and leaders in innovative, interdisciplinary research. Scholars broaden their understanding through the lens of a life course perspective with particular attention to research on the health needs of diverse and high-risk populations. During this next proposed period of support, our JH-BIRCWH program is well positioned for sustained success. Consistent with the Office of Research on Women’s Health (ORWH) strategic plan (2019-2023), we will continue to recruit highly motivated junior faculty scholars, with priority given to investigators from groups underrepresented in research. We will build on the established foundation of our learner-centered and competency-based approach to interdisciplinary career development. A critical resource for the JH-BIRCWH program is the cadre of highly experienced, internationally recognized faculty who are active in research related to women’s health or sex/gender differences, and who are committed to supporting and sponsoring Scholars. The three core strength areas of the JH-BIRCWH program are: 1) diseases specific to women (e.g. women’s cancer and reproductive biology); 2) sex and gender differences in disease expression (e.g. immunology, neuroscience, cardiovascular and genetics); and 3) social determinants of women’s health and disparities (e.g. violence against women, trauma, addictions and poverty). During this administrative supplement, the JH-BIRCWH will annually support 1 scholar. This scholar will receive expert mentoring from a multidisciplinary team along with funding, and access to institutional resources that are also available to our current cohort of BIRCWH scholars. The scholar’s long-term goal is to establish a career as a clinician-scientist and independent investigator focused on identifying novel clinical and community-based strategies to eliminate racial disparities in maternal cardiometabolic outcomes among Black women. With the support of this supplemental funding, they will be well prepared to lead interdisciplinary teams to improve women’s health by advancing their understanding of sex gender differences and health concerns unique to, more prevalent, or with differential consequences in women.
