This article describes the history of the University of Washington School of Nursing (UW-SON) Center for Women's Health and Gender Research (CWHGR) and its role in helping initiate and sustain interdisciplinary research. The growing focus on the need for interdisciplinary research has made it imperative that nursing scientists collaborate with colleagues in other health-related fields including medicine, public health, dentistry, and social work. The CWHGR increased interdisciplinary research activities through mentorship of faculty and trainees, the creation of core laboratory facilities, the award of pilot grant funding focused on interdisciplinary collaboration, consultation on research design and methods both within and outside the UW-SON, and the utilization of the Human Response Model for both biobehavioral and sociocultural research collaboration. Accomplishments as well as lessons learned related to interdisciplinary research during the 19 years of the UW-SON CWHGR are highlighted.
本文介绍了华盛顿大学护理学院(UW-SON)妇女健康与性别研究中心(CWHGR)的历史及其在推动和维持跨学科研究方面所起的作用。对跨学科研究需求的日益关注使得护理科学家必须与医学、公共卫生、牙科和社会工作等其他健康相关领域的同事合作。CWHGR通过对教职员工和学员的指导、创建核心实验室设施、授予专注于跨学科合作的试点资助、在UW-SON内外就研究设计和方法提供咨询,以及在生物行为和社会文化研究合作中运用人类反应模型,增加了跨学科研究活动。文中重点介绍了UW-SON CWHGR在19年期间与跨学科研究相关的成就以及经验教训。
