项目摘要：这是今年夏季指导研究培训的17-21年的更新申请 美国公共卫生研究生癌症流行病学项目。此应用程序支持12周 在国外和美国特殊人群中指导夏季实地研究经验，一个 定向，职业发展研讨会，并指导手稿写作。很少有癌症 流行病学家谁拥有的技能和经验，以实施研究，在种族多样化的设置，是否 在其他国家或在这个国家的移民和少数民族人口中。我们的教师和现场合作者 具有提供专家实地研究培训和指导的经验。增加合格 申请已将录取率从最初几年的78%降至19%， 在当前的资助周期内，该项目向所有247所美国学校和公共卫生项目的学生开放， 从41个州招募学生。该计划扩大了少数民族的实地研究地点 密歇根州、内布拉斯加州和纽约的人口。全球站点的强大基础设施也得到了 从非洲和中东延伸到拉丁美洲，亚洲和欧洲。学生发表率 从他们的夏季研究数据是78%，校友发表699篇论文后，完成该计划。六十- 百分之五的校友继续从事与癌症相关的领域。 该提案的目的是继续开发和实施这个夏季研究计划， 准备研究生从认可的美国学校和公共卫生计划在癌症领域 特殊人群的流行病学。此更新应用程序的新功能将增加 每年的职位从15个增加到22个，并在夏季开始时为导师举办讲习班。到 为实现这些目标，建议实现以下具体目标： 1.招聘和选择MPH和博士生填补22个职位，每年的5年补助金续期期。 2.维护和加强在过去15年中开发的基础设施，以支持学生在夏季 特殊人群的实地研究经验。这次更新的一个新创新将是开发 在夏季开始时，为辅导员举办为期两天的辅导班。 3.保持和增加在校园教师导师和实地研究导师开发的池 在过去的15年里 4.保持和加强我们的研究培训咨询委员会的审查和监督职能。 5.维持和加强形成性和总结性成果评价和长期跟踪的过程。 该计划将继续将特殊人群的癌症流行病学定义为未来的职业学科， 流行病学领域的学生。该计划的成功实施将继续提供一个 在特殊人群中开展癌症流行病学研究所需的熟练专业人员的来源。

Project Summary: This is a renewal application for years 17-21 of this summer mentored research training program in cancer epidemiology for U.S. public health graduate students. This application supports a 12-week mentored summer field research experience in foreign countries and among special populations in the U.S., an orientation, a career development workshop, and mentored manuscript writing. 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. An increase in qualified applications has reduced the acceptance rate from 78% in the first few years to 19%, when the program became open to students from all 247 U.S. schools and programs of public health in the current funding cycle, in which students were recruited from 41 states. The program expanded its field research sites in minority populations in Michigan, Nebraska, and New York. Strong infrastructure in global sites has also been extended from Africa and the Middle East to Latin America, Asia, and Europe. The publication rate of students from their summer research data is 78% and alumni published 699 papers after finishing the program. Sixty- five percent of alumni continued in cancer-related fields. The objective of this proposal is to continue developing and implementing this 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. New features of this renewal application will be increasing the number of annual positions from 15 to 22 and introducing a workshop for mentors in the beginning of the summer. To achieve these objectives, the following specific aims are proposed: 1. Recruit and select MPH and PhD students to fill 22 positions each year of the 5-year grant renewal period. 2. Maintain and enhance the infrastructure developed in the past 15 years that supports students in summer field research experiences in special populations. A new innovation in this renewal will be the development of a 2-day session for mentors on the subject of mentoring in the beginning of the summer. 3. Maintain and increase the pool of on-campus faculty mentors and field-site research mentors developed in the past 15 years. 4. Maintain and enhance review and oversight functions of our Research Training Advisory Committee. 5. Maintain and enhance the process of formative and summative outcome evaluation and long-term tracking. This program will continue to define cancer epidemiology in special populations as a future career discipline for students in the field of epidemiology. 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.
