DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests support to establish a BIRCWH Program at Northwestern University titled, Career Development in Women's Health (CDWH). This program will be used to develop a group of independent, tenure track scientists with backgrounds in clinical medicine or basic science disciplines whose research will address high priority areas relevant to women's health. We have identified five focus areas that have been historically strong within Northwestern and that are fundamental to the understanding and treatment of women's health and disease - differences in cardiovascular disease risk; ovarian biology; obstetrical and gynecological disorders; sex differences in sleep and rheumatology and osteoporosis. In order to develop expertise outside the Ob/Gyn specialty, faculty members who have interdisciplinary training in basic reproductive science and gender-specific disease research must be cultivated. Northwestern has a long- standing and rich tradition of interdisciplinary excellence in the reproductive sciences and in disorders that affect women, providing a strong foundation upon which the CDWH Program will be developed. In achieving our goal, the Career Development in Women's Health Program will create a focused curriculum, provide strong mentorship and engaged faculty development activities. The junior faculty trained through this program will be in the vanguard of women's health research scholarship and it is anticipated will expand the training to an ever widening group of clinicians and investigators. The program at Northwestern University is robust, timely and rigorous. Three key ingredients drive this application and will underlie the success of the candidates: high quality research programs, high expectations, and a robust training environment. The CDWH program at Northwestern University is dedicated to these criteria and to the next generation of clinical investigators and translational scientists who will improve health and allay disease in women and men.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请请求支持在西北大学建立一个名为“女性健康职业发展”（CDWH）的 BIRCWH 项目。该计划将用于培养一批具有临床医学或基础科学学科背景的独立终身教授科学家，他们的研究将涉及与妇女健康相关的高度优先领域。我们确定了西北大学历史上一直很强大的五个重点领域，这对于理解和治疗妇女的健康和疾病至关重要：心血管疾病风险的差异；卵巢生物学；妇产科疾病；睡眠、风湿病和骨质疏松症的性别差异。为了发展妇产科专业以外的专业知识，必须培养在基础生殖科学和性别特异性疾病研究方面接受过跨学科培训的教职人员。西北大学在生殖科学和影响妇女的疾病方面拥有悠久而丰富的跨学科卓越传统，为 CDWH 计划的制定奠定了坚实的基础。为了实现我们的目标，女性健康职业发展计划将创建有针对性的课程，提供强有力的指导和参与教师发展活动。通过该计划培训的初级教师将成为妇女健康研究奖学金的先锋，预计将把培训范围扩大到不断扩大的临床医生和研究人员群体。西北大学的项目稳健、及时且严谨。三个关键因素推动了这一申请，并将成为候选人成功的基础：高质量的研究项目、高期望和强大的培训环境。西北大学的 CDWH 项目致力于这些标准以及下一代临床研究人员和转化科学家，他们将改善女性和男性的健康并减轻疾病。
