DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Physicians who have completed a residency and perhaps a fellowship are usually superb clinicians, but generally are not well prepared to meet the research requirements of a career in academic medicine. This proposal describes a plan for a Male Reproductive Health Research (MRHR) program for internists, endocrinologists and/or urologists at the University of Washington. The major goal of this program is to provide the research training to enable young physicians to establish research careers as independent investigators. The principal training format proposed is a mentored experience with a successful investigator (clinical, translational or basic) for 2 to 5 years. During this time, the scholar (trainee) devotes most of his/her time to research projects, whereby he/she acquires the knowledge and skills to become independent and pursue a research intensive academic career. In addition, in the initial years of each scholar's research training, formal course work will be provided, as appropriate for the scholar's interests. This proposed MRHR program at the University of Washington has twelve mentors with extensive research experience and funding that collectively represent outstanding clinical, translational and basic science expertise in subject areas that directly relate to men's reproductive health. This is a multidisciplinary proposal in that the mentors have their primary expertise and appointments in the Departments of Medicine, Urology, Genome Sciences, Epidemiology, Pharmacology, Physiology and Biophysics and Obstetrics and Gynecology. Each proposed mentor has a record of excellence in research and documented experience in training young investigators. The Departments of Medicine and Urology will diligently recruit outside scholars, and, in addition, have a large internal pool of residents, fellows, and junior faculty members eager to compete for the scholar awards proposed here. The Medicine and Urology Departments and the School of Medicine at the University of Washington are prepared to make substantial commitments of resources and funding to support this proposed research program. The University of Washington is an ideal location for a career development program in male reproductive health. The University has a wealth of resources and experience in male reproductive research, and can provide many opportunities for scholars to embark on successful research careers, which will serve to foster new therapeutic breakthroughs in issues relevant to male reproductive health.

描述（由申请人提供）：完成住院医师实习并可能获得研究员资格的医生通常是出色的临床医生，但通常没有做好充分准备来满足学术医学职业的研究要求。该提案描述了华盛顿大学内科医生、内分泌科医生和/或泌尿科医生的男性生殖健康研究 (MRHR) 计划。该计划的主要目标是提供研究培训，使年轻医生能够作为独立研究者建立研究生涯。提议的主要培训形式是由一名成功的研究者（临床、转化或基础）进行 2 至 5 年的指导经验。在此期间，学者（实习生）将大部分时间投入到研究项目中，从而获得独立的知识和技能并从事研究密集型学术生涯。此外，在每位学者研究培训的最初几年，将根据学者的兴趣提供正式的课程作业。华盛顿大学拟议的 MRHR 项目拥有 12 名拥有丰富研究经验和资金的导师，他们共同代表了与男性生殖健康直接相关的学科领域的杰出临床、转化和基础科学专业知识。这是一项多学科提案，导师的主要专业知识和任命来自医学、泌尿科、基因组科学、流行病学、药理学、生理学和生物物理学以及妇产科。每位拟议的导师都拥有卓越的研究记录和培训年轻研究人员的丰富经验。医学和泌尿外科将努力招募外部学者，此外，还有大量的内部住院医师、研究员和初级教员渴望竞争此处提出的学者奖项。华盛顿大学医学和泌尿外科系以及医学院准备投入大量资源和资金来支持这项拟议的研究计划。华盛顿大学是男性生殖健康职业发展项目的理想场所。大学在男性生殖研究方面拥有丰富的资源和经验，可以为学者提供许多成功研究生涯的机会，这将有助于促进男性生殖健康相关问题的治疗新突破。
