Support is in the form of a minimum of two consecutive 12-month appointments, renewable in annual increments for up to five years total, and is contingent upon satisfactory progress as reported to the Advisory Committee and to the NIH in the annual progress report of the Program. At least 75 percent of the BIRCWH Scholars' full-time effort must be devoted to the research program of the award.

Grant Description: -Purpose: The NIH Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH) and its cosponsors invite institutional career development award applications for Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health (BIRCWH) Career Development Programs, hereafter termed "Programs." 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 or sex/gender factors. The goal of this initiative is 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, including research on sex/gender similarities or differences in biology, health or disease. The programs will accomplish these goals by ensuring that mentors represent diverse disciplines needed to carry out interdisciplinary projects that will bridge career development/training with research independence for BIRCWH scholars. -Funds Available: The NIH Office of Research on Women's Health and its cosponsors intend to commit approximately $5 million in total costs [Direct plus Facilities and Administrative (F and A) costs] for this initiative in FY 2007. -Awards: Funding of up to 10 new and competing continuation awards is anticipated.
