ABSTRACT This application is a competitive renewal of the NCI-funded Implementation Science training program led by the University of Massachusetts Medical School, entitled “PRACCTIS” (Prevention and Control of Cancer: Training for change in Individuals and Systems). Initially funded in 2014, through the R25t mechanism, we seek to extend this successful program as an NCI-funded T32 training program. With renewed funding, our mission, to train the next generation of researchers in the conduct of research that addresses gaps in the translation of evidence-based cancer prevention and control into practice in Massachusetts and nationally, will continue. We accomplish this mission by working toward three overarching programmatic goals: 1) To promote the development of independent cancer prevention and control implementation scientists through educational curricula, enrichment opportunities, and mentored research experiences that are personalized to each trainee and conducted in collaboration with a diverse range of clinical and community partners; 2) To identify effective program components and implement program improvements through a continuous program monitoring and evaluation; and 3) To broadly advance training in the field of implementation science through program evaluation and dissemination of innovative program components and best practices. The proposed T32 program leverages and expands the existing training infrastructure developed in the previous funding cycle, including structured courses in implementation science, enrichment opportunities, team science-oriented mentoring, and a rigorous program monitoring and evaluation plan. We will also continue to emphasize stakeholder-engaged research conducted in collaboration with local clinical and community settings that deliver cancer prevention and control treatments and interventions. Driven by our rigorous program evaluation, our program will be enhanced in this competitive renewal in important ways. First we will create personalized training pathways in areas critical areas of implementation research identified as priorities by trainees in our previous cycle as well as in the field at-large. These pathways are in the areas of health informatics, health communications and interventions in low resource settings. Second, to bring additional faculty expertise in these areas, we have extended our pool of mentors to include experts from local institutions with successful histories of collaboration, including UMass Boston, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, UMass-Baystate and the Bedford and Boston campuses of the Veterans Health Administration. Relationships with mentors from these campuses were initiated in our previous funding cycle and will be formalized in this competitive renewal. We will additionally extend PRACCTIS to include both pre-doctoral and post-doctoral trainees. PRACCTIS will recruit 10 post-doctoral and 3 pre-doctoral trainees over the next five year funding period, thus producing a cadre of independent investigators who address gaps in the translation of evidence-based cancer prevention and control treatments and interventions into practice.

摘要 此应用程序是由NCI资助的实施科学培训计划的竞争性更新， 马萨诸塞州大学医学院，题为“PRACCTIS”（预防和控制癌症： 个人和系统变化的培训）。最初于2014年通过R25 t机制提供资金， 寻求扩大这一成功的计划作为一个国家癌症研究所资助的T32培训计划。随着新的资金，我们 使命，培训下一代研究人员进行研究，解决差距， 将循证癌症预防和控制转化为马萨诸塞州和全国的实践，将 继续我们通过努力实现三个总体方案目标来完成这一使命： 通过教育发展独立的癌症预防和控制实施科学家 课程，丰富的机会，并指导研究经验，个性化的每一个学员 并与各种临床和社区合作伙伴合作进行; 2）确定有效的 通过持续的项目监控， 评估; 3）通过计划广泛推进实施科学领域的培训 评估和传播创新方案组成部分和最佳做法。建议的T32 该计划利用并扩展了在上一个资助周期中开发的现有培训基础设施， 包括实施科学的结构化课程，丰富的机会，团队科学导向 指导，以及严格的项目监测和评估计划。我们还将继续强调， 与当地临床和社区环境合作进行的研究， 癌症预防和控制治疗及干预措施。在我们严格的计划评估的推动下，我们的 该计划将在这次竞争性更新中以重要的方式得到加强。首先，我们将创建个性化的 在我们的培训机构中，受训人员将执行研究的关键领域确定为优先领域， 上一个周期以及整个外地。这些途径是在健康信息学，健康， 在资源匮乏的环境中开展宣传和干预活动。第二，把更多的教师专业知识， 这些领域，我们扩大了我们的导师库，包括来自当地机构的专家， 合作的历史，包括马萨诸塞大学波士顿分校，伍斯特理工学院，马萨诸塞大学贝州和 退伍军人健康管理局的贝德福德和波士顿校区。与这些导师的关系 校园是在我们上一个资助周期启动的，并将在这次竞争性更新中正式确定。我们 此外，PRACCTIS还将扩展到包括博士前和博士后学员。PRACCTIS将 在未来五年的资助期内，招募十名博士后及三名博士前实习生， 独立研究人员的骨干，他们解决了循证癌症预防翻译中的差距 并将治疗和干预措施付诸实践。
