DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Physicians who have completed a residency and perhaps a fellowship are usually superb clinicians, but generally are not well prepared to meet the research requirements of a career in academic medicine. This proposal describes a plan for a Research Career Development Program in men's reproductive health for pediatricians, internists, endocrinologists and/or urologists at the University of Washington. The major goal of this program is to provide the research training to enable young physicians to establish research careers and eventually become independent investigators. The principal training format proposed is a mentored experience with a successful investigator (clinical, translational or basic) for two to five years. During this time, each of the two scholars will devote most of his/he time to research projects, whereby he/she acquires the knowledge and skills to become independent and assume a faculty position. In addition, in the initial years of each scholar's research training, formal coursework will be provided, as appropriate for the scholar's interests. This proposed UW Male Reproductive Health Research Program has twelve mentors with extensive research experience and funding that collectively represent both strong clinical and basic science expertise in subject areas that directly relate to men's reproductive health. This is a multidisciplinary proposal in that the mentors have their primary expertise and appointments in the Departments of Medicine, Urology, Epidemiology, Pharmacology, Physiology and Biophysics and Obstetrics and Gynecology. Each proposed mentor has a record of excellence in research and documented experience in training young investigators. The Departments of Medicine and Urology will diligently recruit outside scholars, and they have a relatively large pool of residents, fellows, and junior faculty eager to compete for the two proposed scholar awards. The Medicine and Urology departments and the School of Medicine at the University of Washington are prepared to make major commitments of resources and funding to support this proposed research center. In many ways, the University of Washington is the ideal location for a career development program in male reproductive health. The University has a wealth of resources and experience in male reproductive research, and can provide many opportunities for scholars to embark on successful research careers, which will serve to foster new therapeutic breakthroughs in issues relevant to male reproductive health.

描述（由申请人提供）：完成住院医师实习并可能获得研究员资格的医生通常是出色的临床医生，但通常没有做好充分准备来满足学术医学职业的研究要求。该提案描述了华盛顿大学儿科医生、内科医生、内分泌科医生和/或泌尿科医生的男性生殖健康研究职业发展计划的计划。该计划的主要目标是提供研究培训，使年轻医生能够建立研究生涯并最终成为独立研究者。提议的主要培训形式是由成功的研究者（临床、转化或基础）提供两到五年的指导经验。在此期间，两位学者将投入大部分时间进行研究项目，从而获得独立并担任教职所需的知识和技能。此外，在每位学者研究培训的最初几年，将根据学者的兴趣提供正式课程。拟议的威斯康星大学男性生殖健康研究计划有 12 名导师，他们拥有丰富的研究经验和资金，共同代表了与男性生殖健康直接相关的学科领域强大的临床和基础科学专业知识。这是 这是一项多学科提案，因为导师的主要专业知识和任命来自医学、泌尿科、流行病学、药理学、生理学和生物物理学以及妇产科。每位拟议的导师都拥有卓越的研究记录和培训年轻研究人员的丰富经验。内科和泌尿外科将努力招募外部学者，他们拥有相对较多的住院医师、研究员和初级教员，他们渴望竞争这两个拟定的学者奖。华盛顿大学医学和泌尿外科系以及医学院已准备好投入大量资源和资金来支持这个拟议的研究中心。从很多方面来说，华盛顿大学都是男性生殖健康职业发展项目的理想场所。大学在男性生殖研究方面拥有丰富的资源和经验，可以为学者提供许多成功研究生涯的机会，这将有助于促进男性生殖健康相关问题的治疗新突破。
