DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to develop a new postdoctoral fellowship in Interdisciplinary Women's Reproductive Health (RHF) at The University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston (UTMB). The RHF training program will support 5 positions for 2-year fellowships that prepare MDs, clinical PhDs, and other postdoctoral scientists for research careers in the area of women's reproductive health. Appointees will be selected from a diverse, competitive candidate pool, with special emphasis on the recruitment of underrepresented minorities. The RHF training program will enrich the T32 portfolio at UTMB, becoming the first of its type dedicated to reproductive health in women. The RHF addresses the training needs of both healthcare professionals and research scientists by providing a structured but flexible research experience with an emphasis on fostering the early growth of an independent research career. Trainees are incorporated into the investigative programs of 3 board-certified fellowships in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, a fellowship in women's health in the Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Women's Health, and with individual projects of program faculty in Internal Medicine, Surgery, Preventive Medicine, and Biochemistry & Molecular Biology. Strong existing collaborative ties among the 16 mentors make this multidisciplinary approach possible. The mentors are well funded, heavily published, and have co-authored and co-mentored for many years. The specific aims of the RHF training program are to: (1) increase the quality and quantity of researchers in women's reproductive health by actively recruiting promising postdoctoral fellows from diverse backgrounds and disciplines, including MDs, clinical PhDs, and basic science PhDs; (2) build upon and maintain a supportive infrastructure for women's reproductive health research at UTMB, including strong mentoring, comprehensive research training, and collaborative investigator/mentor networks; and (3) utilize the high-quality curriculum available at UTMB to (a) provide new investigators committed to a research career in women's reproductive health with an educational platform for productive interdisciplinary research and (b) engage them in productive, mentored, and progressively more independent research projects. Regular reviews of individual trainees will be completed by the training program directors to ensure that adequate progress toward the development of an independent research career is made.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们建议在加尔维斯顿大学德克萨斯大学医学分公司（UTMB）的跨学科妇女生殖健康（RHF）开发新的博士后研究金。 RHF培训计划将支持为期两年的奖学金的5个职位，这些职位为女性生殖健康领域的研究职业准备MDS，临床博士学位和其他博士后科学家。任命者将从一个竞争激烈的候选人池中选出，特别强调招募代表性不足的少数民族。 RHF培训计划将丰富UTMB的T32投资组合，成为该类型的第一个专门用于女性生殖健康的类型。 RHF通过提供结构化但灵活的研究经验，重点是促进独立研究职业的早期增长，以满足医疗保健专业人员和研究科学家的培训需求。在妇产科和妇产科，在妇女健康中心的妇女健康中心的妇女健康奖学金以及妇女健康中的妇女健康奖学金以及内科医学，手术，预防医学和生物学和生物学生物学和分子生物学的各个项目教职员工。在16位导师中，现有的紧密合作关系使这种多学科的方法成为可能。这些导师的资金丰富，大量发表，并由合着并共同授予了很多年。 RHF培训计划的具体目的是：（1）通过积极招募来自不同背景和学科的有希望的博士后研究员，包括MDS，临床博士学位和基础科学博士学位，提高妇女生殖健康中的研究人员的质量和数量； （2）在UTMB的女性生殖健康研究中建立并维护支持性的基础设施，包括强大的指导，全面的研究培训和协作研究员/导师网络； （3）利用UTMB提供的高质量课程（a）为（a）提供致力于妇女生殖健康研究职业的新调查人员，该研究人员使用一个用于生产性跨学科研究的教育平台，并（b）从事生产力，指导和逐步的独立研究项目。培训计划主管将对单个学员进行定期审查，以确保在开发独立研究职业方面取得足够的进步。
