 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Although it is now apparent that the incidence and symptoms of diseases, as well as responses to treatments, are different between males and females, sex- and gender-related research remains a persistently understudied, yet vitally important, component of health research. These differences extend to laboratory animals and even to cell lines in bench research. The Utah Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health Career Development Program (Utah BIRCWH Program) will provide University of Utah junior faculty members with mentored research experiences that will focus the sex and gender lens on their discovery, translational, and clinical research training. The Utah BIRCWH Program will provide a bridge to research independence and will create a cadre of independent scientists addressing clinically important women's health issues. The Utah BIRCWH Program will focus outside the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology to draw Scholars from across the University, its CTSA affiliated institutions, and across the nation. BIRCWH Program mentors will come from research communities across the campuses of the University and also our CTSA partner institutions (Intermountain Healthcare, Salt Lake VA, Utah Department of Health). We will leverage the Vice-President's Clinical and Translational science (VP-CAT), an established and highly successful academic career development program. The VP-CAT program (and its administrative predecessor) has had 46 consecutive graduates transition to extramural funding and obtain academic medical faculty positions. Utah BIRCWH Scholars will have full access to these successful programs. At the core of VP-CAT is the Matrix Mentoring Model (MMM). The MMM combines self-mentorship with mentorship from senior faculty, scientific experts, peers, and staff to produce unparalleled success in academic career development. The Utah BIRCWH Program's consideration of Scholar candidates from across the University campus and beyond bespeaks the multiple dimensions of women's health and the widespread interest in this Program. The Principal Investigator, PD, and Advisory Committee Chair have >50 years (between them) of mentoring experience and NIH funding and are committed to developing the next generation of multidisciplinary women's health researchers. An Advisory Committee will be formed and will meet quarterly to review Scholar's career development plans, their progress, and the contributions of their mentorship teams. The Utah BIRCWH Program will fund two Scholars at a time, with appointments anticipated to last at least two years. All Scholars will be junior faculty, having completed their clinical or graduate training within six years of their appointment. The Utah BIRCWH Program intends to have all of its graduates pursue full-time academic careers supported by peer-reviewed extramural funding and is committed to providing the resources for this success.

 描述（由申请人提供）：虽然现在很明显，男性和女性之间疾病的发病率和症状以及对治疗的反应有所不同，但与性和性别相关的研究仍然是一个长期未被充分研究的领域，但却至关重要，这些差异延伸到实验动物，甚至延伸到实验室研究中的细胞系，犹他州建立女性健康职业发展计划的跨学科研究职业（犹他州 BIRCWH 计划）将为犹他大学的初级教员提供犹他州 BIRCWH 项目将重点关注性和性别视角的发现、转化和临床研究培训，为研究独立性提供桥梁，并培养一支独立科学家队伍，解决临床上重要的女性健康导师问题。犹他州 BIRCWH 项目将重点关注妇产科以外的部门，吸引来自整个大学、其 CTSA 附属机构以及全国各地的学者。 BIRCWH 项目导师将来自犹他州各校区的研究社区。我们将利用副校长的临床和转化科学 (VP-CAT)，这是一项成熟且非常成功的学术职业发展计划。 -CAT 项目（及其行政前身）已连续 46 名毕业生获得校外资助并获得学术医学教职职位。 VP-CAT 的核心是 Matrix。指导模式 (MMM)。MMM 将自我指导与高级教师、科学专家、同行和工作人员的指导相结合，在学术职业发展方面取得了无与伦比的成功，这说明了犹他州 BIRCWH 项目对来自大学校园内外的学者候选人的考虑。首席研究员、PD 和咨询委员会主席拥有超过 50 年的指导经验和 NIH 资助，并致力于开发该项目。将成立一个咨询委员会，每季度召开一次会议，审查学者的职业发展计划、进展情况以及导师团队的贡献，犹他州 BIRCWH 计划将一次资助两名学者，并进行任命。预计持续至少两年。所有学者都将是初级教师，在任命后六年内完成临床或研究生培训。犹他州 BIRCWH 计划旨在让所有毕业生在同行的支持下从事全职学术职业。已审核外部资金，并致力于为这一成功提供资源。
