DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): UTMB-Galveston and the Ob/Gyn Department respectively submit this competing application to continue our RHR Career Development Center. We have trained 5 Scholars: 3 women and 2 men--1 underrepresented minority investigator and 1 disabled investigator; all scholars were drawn from diverse clinical specialties; 3 initially had virtually no research experience; and 1 earned her PhD as a Scholar. We commit to achieving all goals as set forth by the RFA: The Department has broad-based, basic research in important women's reproductive health problems and has greatly increased both translational research and clinical research (ranks 8th in number of NIH grants awarded to Ob/Gyn departments, FY 2002). The Mentors for the WRHR Scholars, both from within the Ob/Gyn Department and from other departments, have experience training physicians who want to become independent investigators. This effect is further enhanced by Ob/Gyn Mentors having a dual appointment in the following: Anatomy & Neurosciences, Microbiology, Pediatrics, Physiology, Surgery, Psychiatry, the Sealy Center for Molecular Science, and the Marine Biology Institute. We have a group of excellent WRHR Scholar candidates, and our fellowship programs, all of which require 18 months of basic research and a Masters of Science degree, will continue to produce well qualified candidates. The research laboratories of the Ob/Gyn Mentors (equal to approximately 32,000 sq ft) are modern and well equipped as are the laboratories of the Mentors from other departments. The environment both in the Department and UTMB is supportive of developing young physicians who want research careers. Research has been of the highest priority since Dr. Anderson became the Chair 14 years ago, and some of the key personnel in this grant developed their research careers in our own Department. UTMB has demonstrated its support of this grant both by monies; increased clinical, administrative, and research space within the Department; and adherence to the 75% protected research time. Both the Department and UTMB have demonstrated their commitment to recruitment and promotion of women physicians and underrepresented minority physicians. (UTMB Medical School ranked first in United States in awarding medical degrees to Hispanics and seventh to African Americans.) We have the necessary infrastructure to successfully train young physicians to become independent investigators in areas that address important women's reproductive health concerns.

描述（由申请人提供）：UTMB-GALVESTON和OB/GYN部门分别提交此竞争申请，以继续我们的RHR职业发展中心。我们已经培训了5名学者：3名妇女和2名男性 - 1名代表性不足的少数族裔调查员和1名残疾调查员；所有学者均来自各种临床专业。 3最初几乎没有研究经验； 1赢得了她作为学者的博士学位。我们致力于实现RFA提出的所有目标：该部门在重要妇女的生殖健康问题中拥有广泛的基础研究，并大大提高了转化研究和临床研究（在2002财年授予OB/Gyn部门的NIH赠款人数排名第8位）。来自OB/GYN部门和其他部门的WRHR学者的导师都有经验丰富的培训医生，他们希望成为独立的调查人员。 OB/GYN导师在以下双重任命中进一步增强了这种效果：解剖学和神经科学，微生物学，儿科，生理学，手术，精神病学，Sealy Molecular Science中心和海洋生物学研究所。我们有一群优秀的WRHR学者候选人，我们的奖学金计划（所有这些都需要18个月的基础研究和科学硕士学位）将继续生产合格的 候选人。 OB/GYN导师的研究实验室（相当于32,000平方英尺）是现代的，配备良好，以及来自其他部门的导师的实验室。该部门和UTMB的环境都支持发展想要研究职业的年轻医生。自14年前安德森（Anderson）博士担任主席以来，研究一直是当务之急，该赠款中的一些关键人员在我们自己的部门发展了他们的研究职业。 UTMB已证明了其对这笔赠款的支持。该部门内的临床，行政和研究空间增加；并遵守75％的保护时间。该部门和UTMB都表明了他们致力于招募和促进女医生和代表性不足的少数医生的承诺。 （UTMB医学院在美国授予西班牙裔医学学位，并将第七名授予非洲裔美国人。）我们有必要的基础设施，可以成功地培训年轻的医生，成为解决重要妇女生殖健康问题的领域的独立研究人员。
