Deadline: 6 October 2016
National Institutes of Health is currently inviting applications for its Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women’s Health (BIRCWH). Programs will support mentored research career development of junior faculty members, known as BIRCWH Scholars, who have recently completed clinical training or postdoctoral fellowships, and who will be engaged in interdisciplinary basic, translational, behavioral, clinical, and/or health services research relevant to women’s health, and, where appropriate, the use of both sexes to better understand the influence of sex as a variable on health and disease.
The goals of this BIRCWH initiative are to increase the number and skills of investigators through a mentored research and career development experience leading to an independent scientific career that will benefit the health of women; advance research on sex/gender influences on health; and encourage interdisciplinary research methodology.
