Project Summary This application is for an administrative supplement to the “Oregon BIRCWH: Scholars in Women's Health Research Across the Lifespan” program to add an additional scholar from an Underrepresented Population in the US Biomedical, Clinical, Behavioral and Social Sciences Research Enterprise. We are nominating Dr Bethany Samuelson Bannow, Assistant Professor in the Division of Hematology, Knight Cancer Center, OHSU, who has substantial consistent research productivity with an interest in uterine bleeding in patients with hemostatic and bleeding disorders. She is committed to becoming an independently-funded clinician scientist and thought leader in uterine hemostasis building upon her existing commitment to women's health and sex/gender research. Her primary mentor will be Dr Alison Edelman, Professor of Ob/Gyn at OHSU, a clinician scientist with a long track record in management of uterine bleeding, of NIH funding and mentorship. Dr Leslie Myatt, Professor of Ob/Gyn, a basic scientist acknowledged for his record of NIH funding and leadership of training programs will be secondary mentor and oversee training in advanced laboratory methods. Additional accomplished mentors will provide subject specific expertise. A detailed career development plan, with specific coursework, conference attendance and timelines is provided. The overarching goal of the Oregon BIRCWH program is to recruit early-stage research faculty from diverse backgrounds and disciplines, and develop them into scientific leaders who advance interdisciplinary research in women's health and sex/gender-based research across the lifespan. The program provides: 1) a robust mentored research and training infrastructure that promotes interdisciplinary women's health and sex/gender differences research; 2) a welcoming, diverse, and inclusive culture of collaboration and mentorship that promotes team science; and 3) a proven process to recruit, train, and support diverse faculty who become national research leaders and expand the footprint of women's health and sex/gender differences research. The Oregon BIRCWH prioritizes the goal of gender, racial, ethnic, ability, and sexual orientation equity and diversity in science, professional development, and culture. Innovative expansions proposed in the recent renewal include: 1) enhancing our campus-wide approach to recruitment and expansion of the BIRCWH infrastructure to attract, support, and nurture even greater diversity; 2) drawing upon the legacy and success of the program to introduce a core curriculum specifically tailored to the unique needs of BIRCWH Scholars, called “BIRCWH Essentials by BIRCWH Alumni”; 3) leading inter-institutional conferences and events to promote innovative thinking, networking, and collaboration; and 4) developing “BIRCWH Connect”, a social media platform to support an actively engaged BIRCWH community across the country.
