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.

摘要 这份提案是为了更新北卡罗来纳州（北卡罗来纳州）在查佩尔山的癌症健康大学 差异培训方案，自2009年起实施。目前的提案要求15个两年期 博士后职位。继续开展CHDP的目的是在全球范围内培养一支多样化的科学家队伍。 博士后水平的工作，以提高癌症的健康差异的研究，这将导致科学 减少和消除这些差距。为了实现这一目标，我们增加了新的培训内容 这将充分利用T32培训机制的独特资源和机会， 收件人： 任命15名明确承诺进行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。这种规模的程序是 这是启动和维持专业化、跨学科培训基础设施的必要条件。我们成功 将采取特别战略，招募拉丁美洲人和美国人，以加强招收少数民族研究员的工作 印第安人 开发和提供专业的两年制课程，促进对以下内容的跨学科理解 癌症差异该课程将继续建立在国家机构的优势， 认可的教育和培训计划，在澳门。研究员的以下新机会将是 增加：六个培训教师与NCI资助的全球癌症研究，移动健康干预， 健康信息技术;最近开设的三门关于健康差距的跨学科课程;以及 关于社区参与反种族主义研究和实践的三个讲习班。 为研究员提供个性化的职业发展经验，以提高专业技能， 建立专业网络。该计划将继续为每个研究员分配超过 一个学科，谁指导他们在研究沟通和授予写作技能，并创造一个 个人发展计划。额外的重点将放在从博士后过渡 通过举办新的专业发展研讨会系列， 七个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 研究团队专注于了解或解决癌症健康背后的复杂问题 差距。随着Deborah Tate博士作为CHDP联合主任的加入，她和Eugenia Eng博士将 与每个研究员的导师在确定生产力研究团队，研究员将有 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。 泰特和英格将每两个月与研究员小组会面，就如何利用他们的 研究经验，以产生赠款申请和出版物。 评估该计划在实现其目标方面的成功。我们将继续采用明确的 基准，并将遵循明确定义的程序来捕获，分析和报告结果。的 评价将服务于方案问责制和持续改进的双重目的。 Gillings全球公共卫生学院是美国排名前两位的公共卫生学院之一。 国家，并结合医学，护理，药学和Lineberger综合学校 癌症中心，为研究员提供特殊的资源。这些资源包括优秀的教师， 正在进行的研究，以及有利于培养未来癌症领导者的合作研究环境 差距研究。该项目联合主任Tate博士和Eng博士都是健康行为教授，全职 Lineberger癌症预防和控制计划的成员。他们将继续得到支持， CHDP的领导团队保罗戈德利，多样性和包容性副院长和医学教授 Giselle Corbie-Smith，社会医学教授兼健康公平中心主任 研究和Til Stürmer，教授和流行病学主席。他们将全面负责 行政和科学指导。CHDP的培训咨询委员会，由 来自多个学科的团队和主要教师将负责招聘决策 和遴选研究员，监测其进展情况，并进行评价。CHDP的外部咨询委员会提供 专业知识和建议的领导团队对该计划的各个方面。自2009年以来，CHDP已招收 16名研究员（10名非裔美国人、1名亚裔美国人和5名白色人）。减去三个还在上学的，13个已经 获得了研究职位，其中10人是终身教职人员。我们相信，CHDP将继续作为一个 非常成功和充满活力的培训环境中，研究员将非常好地准备， 在癌症差异研究方面卓有成效。
