Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women’s Health (BIRCWH)

Introduction

The BIRCWH supports research career development of junior faculty members, known as Interdisciplinary Women's Health Research (IWHR) Scholars, who have recently completed clinical training or postdoctoral fellowships, and who are commencing

1. Basic Research
2. Translational Research
3. Clinical Research
4. And/or health services research relevant to women's health

This RFA uses the NIH Mentored Research Scientist Development Program Award (K12) mechanism Available since fiscal year 2000

Goals

The goal of this initiative is to promote the performance of research and transfer of findings that will benefit the health of women.

The programs will accomplish these goals by

1. Bridging advanced training with research independence
2. Bridging scientific disciplines or areas of interest

This will increase the number and skills of investigators at awardee institutions through a mentored research experience leading to an independent scientific career addressing women's health concerns.
