The University of Kentucky’s (UK) BIRCWH program is built around three pillars: mentoring, interdisciplinary research, and career development. Given the significant health challenges in Kentucky, we focus on three areas of important health disparity for Appalachian Kentuckians: 1) substance use, 2) violence against women, and 3) lifespan changes in health with aging. UK BIRCWH objectives are: 1) to provide the environment, mentorship, and facilities to enhance the ability of BIRCWH scholars to compete for NIH research grants in diverse areas of women’s health research, 2) to deepen our understanding of the unique role of sex and gender in the manifestation of health and disease, 3) to develop and implement new communication and social networking technologies to address sex and gender differences and improve women’s health, 4) to personalize prevention, diagnostics, and therapeutics to address health disparities, 5) to stimulate new collaborations in focused, interdisciplinary, and interactive research areas that are essential for uncovering sex and gender differences and improving women’s health; and 6) to use a thematic multidisciplinary focus as a platform for enhancing translational research between basic, clinical and public health scientists. Our formal framework for ‘growing the next generation’ of women’s health and sex differences researchers includes a mentoring team for each Scholar composed of: 1) experienced faculty members (Mentors) and 2) a former BIRCWH scholar (Coach). This mentoring team will collectively provide in-depth research experiences and didactic training to assistant professor, tenure-track faculty. Career development will also include mechanisms for accountability for manuscript submissions, workshops on grant development, and aspects of academic development such as personnel management, negotiation skills, self-care, and promotion. UK BIRCWH Scholar appointments will be 2 years for PhD and 3 years for MD scholars. Based on our prior experience, we anticipate training 8 scholars over 5 years of funding. Outcomes: Since 2000, 40 Scholars have completed BIRCWH training (17 MDs, 23 PhDs), who have produced 1,712 peer-reviewed publications, secured $41,636,782 in NIH funding as PI, and $239,982,415 as Co-I or PI from other external sources. UK has retained 57% of our BIRCWH graduates who continue active research programs, and support BIRCWH as Coaches and Mentors. Given this success, why should UK’s BIRCWH funding continue? Succinctly, Kentucky’s need continues. Our rates of substance use, violence, and chronic disease (3 foci) are among this nation’s highest. With BIRCWH funding, we can support those who will address the health inequities Kentuckians and others across the nation still face.

肯塔基大学（英国）的 BIRCWH 计划围绕三大支柱建立：指导、 鉴于跨学科研究和职业发展面临的重大健康挑战。 肯塔基州，我们重点关注阿巴拉契亚肯塔基州人健康差异的三个重要领域：1) 物质使用，2）针对妇女的暴力行为，以及 3）英国健康寿命的变化。 BIRCWH 的目标是： 1) 提供环境、指导和设施，以增强 BIRCWH 学者在女性研究的各个领域竞争 NIH 研究经费的能力 健康研究，2）加深我们对性和社会性别在健康中的独特作用的理解 健康和疾病的表现，3）制定和实施新的沟通和 社交网络技术解决性别差异并改善女性的 健康，4) 个性化预防、诊断和治疗，以解决健康差异， 5）促进重点、跨学科和互动研究领域的新合作 这对于揭示性别差异和改善妇女健康至关重要； 6）利用专题多学科焦点作为加强转化研究的平台 我们的“培养下一代”的正式框架。 “一代”女性健康和性别差异研究人员包括一个指导团队 每位学者由：1) 经验丰富的教职人员（导师）和 2) 前 BIRCWH 组成 该导师团队将共同提供深入的研究经验。 还将对助理教授、终身教授进行教学培训。 包括稿件提交问责机制、赠款研讨会 发展，以及学术发展方面，例如人事管理、谈判 博士和英国 BIRCWH 学者的任期为 2 年。 MD学者3年 根据我们以往的经验，我们预计培养8名以上的学者。 资助年数：自 2000 年以来，已有 40 名学者完成了 BIRCWH 培训（17 名） 医学博士、23 名博士）发表了 1,712 篇经过同行评审的出版物，获得了 41,636,782 美元的资助 英国保留了作为 PI 的 NIH 资金以及作为 Co-I 或 PI 的 239,982,415 美元。 57% 的 BIRCWH 毕业生继续积极开展研究项目并支持 BIRCWH 作为教练和导师，既然如此成功，为什么英国还要继续提供 BIRCWH 资助呢？ 简而言之，肯塔基州的药物使用率、暴力和慢性病的需求仍在继续。 （3 个焦点）是全国最高的焦点之一，有了 BIRCWH 的资助，我们可以为那些愿意的人提供支持。 解决肯塔基州人和全国其他地区仍然面临的健康不平等问题。
