Womens Reproductive Health Research (WRHR) Career Development Program (K12): Purpose. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and the Office of Research on Womens Health (ORWH) is to solicit applications to continue to support a national program of mentored institutional career development programs for junior faculty who have recently completed postgraduate clinical training in obstetrics and gynecology, and are committed to an independent research career in women's reproductive health. The supervised research training will assist junior faculty in their transition into productive, physician scientists in areas related to obstetrics and gynecology and its subspecialties. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH Mentored Clinical Scientist Development (K12) Award mechanism to provide support to an institution for development of independent clinical scientists. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The NICHD intends to commit $4,752,000 in total costs to support this program in FY 2009. It is anticipated that up to 10 awards may be made.

Applicants Eligible for this Grant: Public and State controlled institutions of higher education - Nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education - Private institutions of higher education - For profit organizations other than small businesses - Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)
Additional Information on Eligibility: Other Eligible Applicants include the following: Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions; Hispanic-serving Institutions; Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs); Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs) ; U.S. Territory or Possession; Foreign institutions are not eligible for this award. An application may be submitted on behalf of a Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology (here understood to include a department providing obstetrical and/or gynecologic care as its primary function, regardless of title) that has as a primary teaching site either a hospital for women or an obstetrics-gynecology program with an identifiable organizational structure within a larger medical institution. The applicant institution must have an adequate pool of highly trained established investigators in research related to obstetrics and gynecology and its related subspecialty areas. Applicant institutions must have the clinical specialties and subspecialties and the clinical and research facilities sufficient to meet the purposes of the WRHR Program, namely, to bridge clinical training with a career in basic, translational and/or clinical research relevant to women's reproductive health. These institutions should also have the commitment and capability to provide career development guidance to promising candidates who aspire to become independent investigators. Institutions with existing K12 or other training programs must explain what distinguishes this program from the others, how their program will synergize with one another, if applicable, and make it clear that the pool of faculty and potential scholars are robust enough to support additional programs. As an example, those institutions with a current K12 Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health (BIRCWH) Program, with a focus on women's reproductive health and/or located in a Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology or a department providing obstetrical and/or gynecologic care as its primary function, must demonstrate how the addition of a WRHR Program will provide career development training that is separate and distinct from that offered by the BIRCWH Program, including avoidance of overlap in terms of research topics and personnel.
