DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a competing renewal application for the Tulane BIRCWH Program, which has successfully trained a racially/ethnically and professionally diverse group of interdisciplinary researchers in women's health and increased awareness of women's health research at Tulane over the last 4 years. We propose now to build on our prior success and expand and reinforce the BIRCWH program base. The long-term goal is to increase the number and diversity of highly trained culturally competent, independent, interdisciplinary investigators in Women's Health with an emphasis on Sex Differences research in the field of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and related diseases. The program focuses on CVD and related diseases because of the impacts of heart dis- ease on women, the existing knowledge gaps on the sex differences in CVD across the research spectrum, and the strength of this focus at Tulane. Key components of our successful career development plan include 1) didactic courses tailored to specific Scholar needs; 2) individualized career development training; 3) BIRCWH seminar series; 4) Work-in-Progress sessions; 5) required grant writing and project management workshops; 6) mentored interdisciplinary research; and 7) responsible conduct in research training. The innovative approach includes tailoring the program to Scholars needs via 2 career development tracks (Track 1 for Scholars with limited research experience; Track 2 for Scholars with prior research experience), and using a network mentoring model for each Scholar, including expertise in both basic science and clinical research. Scholars are immediately exposed to research and are guided to establish a scholarly track record early, and gain presentation and organization skills by active participation in the Women's Health Research day. New components of the enhanced BIRCWH program include additional faculty participation in new disciplines, in- creased interdisciplinary interactions between basic scientists and clinical researchers through network mentoring, strengthened collaboration with Xavier, a historically Black, less-research-intensive institution, and enhanced access to institutional resources. The Scholars will learn cutting-edge research methods and skills from Bench (cellular, molecular, and genetics), to Bedside (clinical research and clinical trials) to Population (epidemiology, prevention, and health services research) and conduct their own research projects in established laboratories/research groups in a mentored, interdisciplinary environment that address the most recent ORWH priorities. Scholar's interdisciplinary research activities will focus on sex differences in CVD and related diseases and their risk factors and address overarching themes (lifespan, sex/gender determinants, health disparities, and interdisciplinary research). We propose to train 8 faculty Scholars for a minimum of 2-3 years (3 years minimum for physician-scientists). Ongoing and comprehensive evaluation will guide improvements to the program's demonstrated effectiveness in bridging research training and research independence for junior investigators focused on Sex Differences and CVD.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是Tulane Bircwh计划的竞争性更新申请，该计划成功地培训了妇女健康方面的种族/种族和专业多样性跨学科研究人员，并提高了过去4年中Tulane女性健康研究的认识。我们现在建议以先前的成功为基础，并扩展和加强Bircwh计划基础。长期的目标是增加妇女健康中受过良好训练的文化能力，独立的跨学科研究人员的数量和多样性，重点是心血管疾病（CVD）和相关疾病领域的性别差异研究。该计划的重点是CVD和相关疾病，因为心脏不适对女性的影响，研究范围内CVD性别差异的现有知识差距以及Tulane的这种重点的强度。我们成功的职业发展计划的关键组成部分包括1）根据特定学者需求量身定制的教学课程； 2）个性化的职业发展培训； 3）BIRCWH研讨会系列； 4）进行中的会议； 5）需要赠款写作和项目管理研讨会； 6）指导跨学科研究； 7）在研究培训中负责任的行为。创新的方法包括通过2个职业发展轨道为学者需求量身定制该计划（研究经验有限的学者曲目1；具有先前研究经验的学者的曲目2），并为每个学者使用网络指导模型，包括基础科学和临床研究方面的专业知识。学者立即接触研究，并被指导早日建立学术记录，并通过积极参与妇女健康研究日获得表现和组织技能。增强BIRCWH计划的新组成部分包括通过网络指导通过网络指导，加强与历史悠久的，历史悠久的，较不研究的黑人强度的机构以及增强机构资源的访问权限的Xavier，加强与Xavier的合作，加强与Xavier的合作，加强基础科学家和临床研究人员之间的跨学科互动，包括额外的教师参与。学者将学习从基准（细胞，分子和遗传学）到床头（临床研究和临床试验）到人群（流行病学，预防和卫生服务研究）的尖端研究方法和技能，并在一个指导的，跨学科的环境中，在既定的实验室/研究小组中进行既定的实验室/研究小组的研究项目。学者的跨学科研究活动将集中于CVD和相关疾病的性别差异及其风险因素以及解决总体主题（寿命，性别/性别决定因素，健康差异和跨学科研究）。我们建议在至少2 - 3年的时间里培训8位教职学者（医师科学家至少3年）。正在进行的和全面的评估将指导该计划在桥接研究培训和研究独立性方面的有效性，以针对专注于性别差异和CVD的初级研究人员进行研究。
