ABSTRACT This proposal is for the renewal of the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill's Cancer Health Disparities Training Program (CHDP), operative since 2009. The current proposal requests 15 two-year postdoctoral positions. The aim for continuation of CHDP is to train a diverse cadre of scientists at the postdoctoral level to work to improve the science of cancer health disparities research that will lead to reduction and elimination of these disparities. To accomplish this aim, we have added new training elements that will take full advantage of the unique resources and opportunities of the T32 training mechanism at UNC to:  Appoint 15 Fellows who have an explicit commitment to conducting research on cancer disparities. Providing training at the postdoctoral level is essential for producing scientists with diverse career goals, disciplinary backgrounds, research experience, and professional preparation. A program of this size is necessary to initiate and sustain a specialized, interdisciplinary training infrastructure. Our successful efforts in enrolling minority Fellows will be enhanced with special strategies to recruit Latino and American Indian Fellows.  Develop and deliver a specialized two-year curriculum that fosters an interdisciplinary understanding of cancer disparities. The curriculum will continue to build on the institutional strengths of nationally recognized educational and training programs at UNC. The following new opportunities for Fellows will be added: six training faculty with NCI-funded expertise in global cancer research, mHealth interventions, and Health Informatics Technology; three recent interdisciplinary course offerings on health disparities; and three workshops on community engagement in anti-racism research and practice.  Provide Fellows with individualized career development experiences that enhance professional skills and build professional networks. The program will continue to assign each Fellow with mentors in more than one discipline, who guide them in research communication and grant writing skills, and creating an Individual Development Plan (IDP). Additional emphasis will be placed on transitioning from postdoctoral training to productive career paths through a new Professional Development Seminar Series organized by seven NIH-funded T32 programs at UNC.  Provide each Fellow with individualized mentored research experience with 1-2 active interdisciplinary research teams that focus on understanding or addressing complex issues underlying cancer health disparities. With the addition of Dr. Deborah Tate as CHDP Co-Director, she and Dr. Eugenia Eng will work with each Fellow's mentors in identifying productive research teams at UNC with whom Fellows will have access to datasets, learn research skills, and gain familiarity with the many scientific disciplines, methods, and community engagement approaches involved in research on cancer health disparities. Moreover, Drs. Tate and Eng will meet bi-monthly with the group of Fellows to advise on how to capitalize on their research experience to generate grant applications and publications.  Evaluate the success of the program in meeting its objectives. We will continue to employ explicit benchmarks and will follow well-defined procedures for capturing, analyzing, and reporting outcomes. The evaluation will serve the dual purposes of program accountability and continuous improvement. The UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health is one of the top two ranked schools of public health in the nation, and combined with UNC's Schools of Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy and Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, offers exceptional resources for Fellows. These resources include outstanding faculty, diverse ongoing studies, and a collaborative research environment conducive to training future leaders in cancer disparities research. The Program Co-Directors, Drs. Tate and Eng, are Professors of Health Behavior and full members with Lineberger's Cancer Prevention and Control Program. They will continue to be supported by CHDP's Leadership Team of Paul Godley, Vice Dean for Diversity and Inclusion and Professor of Medicine and Epidemiology, Giselle Corbie-Smith, Professor of Social Medicine and Director, Center for Health Equity Research, and Til Stürmer, Professor and Chair of Epidemiology. They will be responsible for overall administrative and scientific direction. CHDP's Training Advisory Committee, composed of the Leadership Team and key faculty from multiple disciplines, will be responsible for decision-making regarding recruitment and selection of Fellows, monitoring their progress, and evaluation. CHDP's External Advisory Board provides expertise and advice to the Leadership Team on all aspects of the program. Since 2009, CHDP has enrolled 16 Fellows (10 African American, 1 Asian American, and 5 White). Minus the three still enrolled, 13 have secured research positions of which 10 are tenure track faculty. We are confident that CHDP will continue as a highly successful and vibrant training environment in which Fellows will be exceptionally well prepared for a productive career in cancer disparities research.

抽象的 该提案旨在更新位于教堂山的北卡罗来纳大学 (UNC) 癌症健康中心 差异培训计划 (CHDP)，自 2009 年起实施。当前提案要求 15 个两年期 博士后职位。 CHDP 继续开展的目的是在研究中心培养多元化的科学家骨干队伍 博士后水平致力于提高癌症健康差异研究的科学性，这将导致 减少和消除这些差异。为了实现这一目标，我们添加了新的培训要素 将充分利用北卡罗来纳大学T32培训机制的独特资源和机会 到：  任命 15 名明确致力于开展癌症差异研究的研究员。 提供博士后水平的培训对于培养具有不同职业目标的科学家至关重要， 学科背景、研究经验和专业准备。这种大小的程序是 启动和维持专门的跨学科培训基础设施是必要的。我们成功的 将通过招募拉丁美洲人和美国人的特别战略，加强招募少数族裔研究员的努力 印度同胞们。  开发并提供专门的两年制课程，以培养跨学科的理解 癌症差异。该课程将继续建立在国家机构优势的基础上 北卡罗来纳大学认可的教育和培训项目。研究员的以下新机会将是 补充：六名培训教师拥有 NCI 资助的全球癌症研究、移动医疗干预和 健康信息技术；最近开设的三门关于健康差异的跨学科课程；和 三个关于社区参与反种族主义研究和实践的讲习班。  为研究员提供个性化的职业发展经验，以提高专业技能和 建立专业网络。该计划将继续为每位研究员分配超过 一门学科，指导他们进行研究交流并授予写作技能，并创建一个 个人发展计划（IDP）。将额外强调从博士后的过渡 通过由以下机构组织的新的专业发展研讨会系列培训，以实现富有成效的职业道路 北卡罗来纳大学有 7 个由 NIH 资助的 T32 项目。  为每位研究员提供个性化的指导研究经验，其中包括 1-2 个活跃的跨学科研究人员 专注于理解或解决癌症健康背后的复杂问题的研究团队 差异。随着 Deborah Tate 博士担任 CHDP 联合主任，她和 Eugenia Eng 博士将共同工作 与每位研究员的导师一起确定北卡罗来纳大学富有成效的研究团队，研究员将与他们一起 访问数据集，学习研究技能，并熟悉许多科学学科、方法、 以及参与癌症健康差异研究的社区参与方法。此外，博士。 泰特和恩格将每两个月与研究员小组会面一次，就如何利用他们的成果提供建议 产生资助申请和出版物的研究经验。 ▪ 评估计划在实现其目标方面是否成功。我们将继续采用明确的 基准，并将遵循明确的程序来捕获、分析和报告结果。这 评价将服务于方案问责和持续改进的双重目的。 北卡罗来纳大学吉林斯全球公共卫生学院是美国排名前两的公共卫生学院之一 国家，并与北卡罗来纳大学医学院、护理学院、药学院和莱恩伯格综合学院联合 癌症中心为研究员提供特殊资源。这些资源包括优秀的师资力量、多元化的 正在进行的研究以及有利于培训未来癌症领导者的合作研究环境 差异研究。该计划联合主任，博士。泰特和恩格是健康行为学教授， Lineberger 癌症预防和控制计划的成员。他们将继续得到支持 CHDP 的领导团队由负责多样性和包容性的副院长兼医学教授 Paul Godley 组成 和流行病学，Giselle Corbie-Smith，社会医学教授兼健康公平中心主任 研究，以及流行病学教授兼主席 Til Stürmer。他们将负责整体 行政和科学方向。 CHDP 的培训咨询委员会，由领导层组成 来自多个学科的团队和骨干教师将负责招聘决策 研究员的选择、监测他们的进展和评估。 CHDP 的外部顾问委员会提供 就该计划的各个方面向领导团队提供专业知识和建议。自2009年起，CHDP已招生 16 名研究员（10 名非裔美国人、1 名亚裔美国人和 5 名白人）。除去仍在注册的 3 名，还有 13 名 获得了研究职位，其中 10 名是终身教授。我们相信，CHDP 将继续作为 非常成功且充满活力的培训环境，研究员将为未来的培训做好充分准备 在癌症差异研究方面取得了富有成效的职业生涯。
