DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences at the University of Vermont is committed to the career development of physician-scientists with an emphasis on Women's Health. To this end we have assembled a multidisciplinary group of 20 experienced investigators, who will serve as mentors, and a nine-member Advisory Committee, and are applying for the WRHR Career Development Program grant to formalize and facilitate the training process. Each mentor has an active, funded research program in one of five scientific themes that reflects the research strengths of our Institution, and around which our training efforts will be structured - female vascular diseases, genital tract smooth muscle contractility, reproductive immunology and infectious disease, genetics and developmental biology, and endocrine signaling related to metabolism and aging. WRHR scholars will include women and under-represented minorities, and be recruited from our Department and from OB/GYN training programs in our region and throughout the country. The training process will include instruction in grant and manuscript preparation and review, experimental design and statistical analysis, and the responsible and ethical conduct of research. The University of Vermont Center for Clinical and Translational Science and the Graduate College will provide a foundation of elective courses required for performing successful research. Direct experience in the process of research will be obtained under the guidance of the primary mentor. We have created a two-track plan for individuals with little vs. substantial previous research experience. Defined benchmarks for progress, including early formalization of specific aims, seminar presentation, and a formal review process will help monitor and assure each individual's progress. Each Scholar will have the opportunity to attend and present their work. We anticipate enrollment of three WRHR Scholars at any one time, and completion of training in 3-5 years with the end point for each scholar being the development of his/her own scientific ideas and submission of grant applications for extramural funding. PUBLIC RELEVANCE: This is a proposal to increase the number of committed and qualified physician scientists devoted to the betterment of women's health through high quality and ethical research.

描述（由申请人提供）：佛蒙特大学的产科，妇科和生殖科学系致力于医师科学家的职业发展，重点是妇女健康。为此，我们组建了一个由20名经验丰富的调查员组成的多学科小组，他们将担任导师和一个由9名成员组成的咨询委员会，并正在申请WRHR职业发展计划赠款，以正式化和促进培训过程。每位导师在五个科学主题之一中都有一个积极的资助研究计划，反映了我们机构的研究优势，我们的培训工作将是结构化的 - 女性血管疾病，生殖道平滑肌肉收缩力，生殖免疫学和感染性疾病，遗传学和发育生物学以及与代理和脂肪相关的内分泌信号。 WRHR学者将包括妇女和代表性不足的少数群体，并从我们的部门以及我们地区和全国各地的OB/GYN培训计划中招募。培训过程将包括赠款和手稿准备和审查，实验设计和统计分析以及负责任和道德研究的指导。佛蒙特大学临床与转化科学中心和研究生学院将为进行成功研究所需的选修课程提供基础。在主要导师的指导下将获得研究过程中的直接经验。我们已经为几乎没有实质性研究经验的个人制定了两轨计划。确定的进度基准，包括对特定目标的早期形式化，研讨会演示和正式审查过程将有助于监视和确保每个人的进步。每个学者将有机会参加和介绍他们的工作。我们预计，任何时候都会有三名WRHR学者入学，并在3 - 5年内完成培训，每个学者的终点都是他/她自己的科学思想的发展和提交授权申请的授权申请。 公众相关性：这是一项提议，旨在增加致力于通过高质量和道德研究来改善妇女健康的认真和合格的医师科学家的数量。
