Cancer Epidemiology Education in Special Populations Program-15

项目摘要/摘要 这是今年夏季癌症流行病学研究培训项目12-15年的转学申请 为公共卫生研究生准备的。这是一次为期4个月的暑期在国外的实地考察。 在美国的少数族裔人群中，几乎没有癌症流行病学家拥有 无论是在其他国家还是在移民中，在不同种族的环境中实施学习的经验 以及这个国家的少数民族人口。我们的教职员工和现场合作者拥有提供 专家实地研究、培训和指导。 这项提案的目标是继续开发和实施暑期研究方案，以 从美国认可的学校和公共卫生项目中培养癌症领域的研究生 特殊人群中的流行病学。此续订申请的一个新功能是增加了 年度职位从10个到15个。为实现这一目标，提出了以下具体目标： 1.招聘和挑选公共卫生硕士和博士生一年级学生，在五年助学金的每一年中填补15个职位 续订期限。 2.维护和加强过去11年发展起来的基础设施，以支持暑期学生 在特殊人群癌症流行病学方面的实地研究经验。这是一项新的创新 申请是在最近一次为期两天的职业发展和就业会议上进行的 暑期研究体验周。 3.保持和增加发展的教师导师和校外实地研究导师队伍 在过去的11年里。 4.维持和加强癌症流行病学研究培训的审查和监督职能 咨询委员会。 5.保持和加强过程和结果评价以及长期跟踪。 该计划将继续将特殊人群中的癌症流行病学定义为未来的职业纪律 流行病学领域的学生。我们的评估显示，我们毕业生的生产力水平很高， 特别是在他们的出版物和职业方向上。这一计划的成功实施将 继续提供开展癌症流行病学研究所需的熟练专业人员来源 特殊人群。

Project Summary/Abstract This is a transfer application for years 12-15 of this summer research training program in Cancer Epidemiology for public health graduate students. This is a 4-month summer field research experience in foreign countries and among minority populations in the U.S. There are few cancer epidemiologists who have the skills and experience to implement studies in ethnically diverse settings, whether in other countries or among migrant and minority populations in this country. Our faculty and field collaborators have the experience to provide expert field research training and mentorship. The objective of this proposal is to continue developing and implementing a summer research program to prepare graduate students from accredited U.S. schools and programs of public health in the field of cancer epidemiology in special populations. A new feature of this renewal application is increasing the number of annual positions from 10 to 15. To achieve this objective, the following specific aims are proposed: 1. Recruit and select first-year MPH and PhD students to fill 15 positions during each year of the 5-year grant renewal period. 2. Maintain and enhance the infrastructure developed in the past 11 years that supports students in summer field research experiences in cancer epidemiology in special populations. A new innovation in this application is the development of a new 2-day session on career development and employment in the last week of the summer research experience. 3. Maintain and increase the pool of faculty mentors and off-campus field site research mentors developed in the past 11 years. 4. Maintain and enhance review and oversight functions of a Cancer Epidemiology Research Training Advisory Committee. 5. Maintain and enhance the process and outcome evaluation and long-termtracking. This program will continue to define cancer epidemiology in special populations as a future career discipline for students in the field of epidemiology. Our evaluation shows a high level of productivity for our graduates, particularly in their publications and their career directions. The successful implementation of this program will continue to provide a source of skilled professionals needed to carry out cancer epidemiology research in special populations.
