Career Enhancement Core

我们建议更新职业提升核心，专注于提供博士后和博士后 拥有高质量研究指导的研究员，将为他们在烟草监管科学领域的职业生涯做好准备 研究。CORE主要位于佛蒙特州大学(UVM)，但也有博士后研究员 放置在我们的两个合作地点，布朗大学和约翰霍普金斯大学。这三家机构也都 在成瘾研究方面有很高的T32培训计划，这允许丰富的交叉受精 烟草监管科学和成瘾研究之间的关系。与《纽约时报》的总体重点一致 UVM TCORS，这个核心专注于围绕调查烟草和尼古丁的使用来提高职业发展 在易受伤害的人群中分发产品。职业提升核心的领导者(希金斯博士 和Heil)在担任董事和助理期间进行有效协作指导的历史由来已久 UVMT32成瘾研究培训项目主任。增加八名初级辅导教师 在弱势群体、成瘾、行为科学和 烟草监管科学研究。维兰蒂博士加强了我们指导团队在烟草监管方面的专业知识 科学。职业提升核心为研究员提供：(A)实际操作的烟草研究培训 监管科学，他们直接协助教员实施主要的UVM TCORS研究 在同时领导试点研究的同时，(B)有机会参加一系列正在进行的轮流研讨会 关于行为科学、行为经济学和行为药理学、研究伦理学和烟草 以及(C)有大量机会在国家科学会议和 准备发表在同行评议期刊上的文章。在当前资金的近4年中 在此期间，我们指导了14名博士后和博士后研究员(4名博士后和10名博士后)。我们的伙伴们 在本供资期间出版了29篇由UVM技术合作伙伴关系支持的同行评议文章，包括 15为第一作者。在本供资期间，我们利用试点项目和发展研究 确保研究员在烟草领域的独立研究、合作和拨款撰写方面获得经验 监管科学。展望未来，Core将利用这一经验和我们日益增长的烟草专业知识 监管科学为我们的研究员建立必要的基础设施，为他们的成功职业生涯做准备 烟草监管科学，有效应对FDA快速反应和其他倡议，并培育 TCORS网络内的伙伴关系和协作。总体而言，我们认为这一核心处于有利地位， 继续并加强其培养下一代烟草监管科学家的使命。

We propose to renew a Career Enhancement Core that focuses on providing predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows with high-quality research mentoring that will prepare them for careers in tobacco regulatory science research. The Core is primarily located at the University of Vermont (UVM), but also has postdoctoral fellows placed at our two collaborating sites, Brown University and Johns Hopkins University. All three institutions also have highly regarded T32 training programs in addictions research, which allows for rich cross-fertilization between tobacco regulatory science and addictions research. Consistent with the overarching focus of the UVM TCORS, this Core focuses on career enhancement around investigating use of tobacco and nicotine delivery products among vulnerable populations. The leaders of the Career Enhancement Core (Drs. Higgins and Heil) have a long history of effective collaborative mentoring in their roles as Director and Associate Director of the UVM T32 training program in addictions research. Eight additional primary mentoring faculty provide a wide range of expertise in the areas of vulnerable populations, addictions, behavioral science, and tobacco regulatory science research. Dr. Villanti bolsters our mentoring team's expertise in tobacco regulatory science. The Career Enhancement Core provides fellows with (a) hands-on research training in tobacco regulatory science in which they directly assist faculty with implementing the primary UVM TCORS studies while simultaneously leading pilot studies, (b) opportunities to participate in an ongoing, rotating seminar series on behavioral science, behavioral economics and behavioral pharmacology, research ethics, and tobacco regulatory science, and (c) abundant opportunities to present their research at national scientific meetings and prepare articles for publication in peer-reviewed journals. During the almost 4 years of the current funding period, we have mentored 14 predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows (4 predocs and 10 postdocs). Our fellows published 29 peer-reviewed articles supported by the UVM TCORS during the current funding period, including 15 as 1st author. In the current funding period, we have used pilot projects and developmental studies to ensure that fellows gain experience with independent research, collaboration, and grant writing in tobacco regulatory science. Going forward, the Core will leverage that experience and our growing expertise in tobacco regulatory science to establish the necessary infrastructure to prepare our fellows for successful careers in tobacco regulatory science, respond effectively to FDA rapid response and other initiatives, and to nurture partnerships and collaborations within the TCORS network. Overall, we feel that this Core is well positioned to continue and enhance its mission of preparing the next generation of tobacco regulatory scientists.
