Postdoctoral training in tobacco control

摘要 我们有一个具体的目标：培养博士后研究员谁将是合格的，并处于有利地位， 成为烟草控制中物质使用研究开发和实施的领导者， 公共卫生、政策和临床实践。具体来说，我们提出了一个博士后奖学金计划，将 吸引个人与一个强有力的承诺，从各种医学，生物， 社会、行为和政策科学，帮助培养下一代烟草控制科学领导者 和相关物质的使用。烟草仍然是美国主要的可预防的死亡原因， 给物质使用障碍的人造成了不成比例的负担。 对烟草控制专业知识的需求随着研究需求的增长而不断增长，以告知FDA 烟草制品管制、《世卫组织烟草框架公约》的执行情况 控制，以及州和地方烟草控制工作，以应对迅速发展的烟草产品 环境考虑到烟草与其他物质共同使用的高比率，我们的计划正在扩大 烟草、大麻和阿片类药物研究之间的协同作用。这包括以下方面的培训：1）研究 烟草和大麻的共同使用以及大麻对健康的影响，以便为政策提供信息， 2）对推动烟草和阿片类药物流行的行业行为的研究， 随着大麻合法化，它可能变得越来越重要。我们通过以下方式提供培训： 烟草科学、烟草政策、成瘾和生物统计学的综合跨学科课程， 结合来自不同学科的两名教师的指导研究。研究员完成一门课程， 他们准备，并提交赠款建议，资助机构为他们的第三年的奖学金资助。 研究导师包括来自加州大学旧金山分校所有四所学校的31名教职员工（牙科，医学，护理， 在烟草政策、营销、成瘾、吸烟对健康的影响等方面开展了积极的研究项目。 吸烟和二手烟暴露，新兴烟草，大麻和电子烟产品，戒烟， 大麻替代类阿片，以及烟草和类阿片行业文件分析。多样化的家伙 烟草控制研究和教育中心的背景和利益提供了一个合作 创造持续的机会，学习和欣赏其他学科的工作环境。每个 研究员创建一个个人发展计划，由导师和奖学金审查 以马克思委员会从具有竞争力的国家人才库中挑选研究员：我们平均每个国家有29名申请人， 一年三个槽。在2016-2021年间，我们的研究员在68种不同的期刊上发表了135篇论文。自2001年以来，我们 培训了92名研究员（自2006年以来，62名由NIH培训赠款资助）;我们的R25/T32毕业生中有93% 在学术，政府和非政府机构的研究生涯，54%是学术教师。

ABSTRACT We have one specific aim: Train postdoctoral fellows who will be qualified and well-positioned to become leaders in the development and implementation of substance use research in tobacco control, public health, policy, and clinical practice. Specifically, we propose a postdoctoral fellowship program that will attract individuals with a strong commitment to transdisciplinary research from a variety of medical, biological, social, behavioral, and policy sciences to help build the next generation of scientific leaders in tobacco control and related substance use. Tobacco remains the leading preventable cause of death the U.S. and disproportionately burdens people with substance use disorders. The need for tobacco control expertise continues to grow with demand for research to inform FDA regulation of tobacco products, the implementation of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, and state and local tobacco control efforts to address the rapidly evolving tobacco product environment. Considering the high rates of tobacco co-use with other substances, our program is expanding on points of synergy between tobacco, cannabis and opioid research. This includes training in: 1) Research on tobacco and cannabis co-use and cannabis health effects to inform policy and develop evidence-based interventions and 2) Research on industry behavior that has driven both the tobacco and opioid epidemics and is likely to become increasingly important with cannabis legalization. We provide this training through integrated transdisciplinary coursework in tobacco science, tobacco policy, addiction, and biostatistics, combined with mentored research with two faculty from different disciplines. Fellows complete a course in which they prepare, and submit grant proposals to funding agencies for their third year of fellowship funding. Research mentors include 31 faculty members from all four schools at UCSF (Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, and Pharmacy) with active research programs in tobacco policy, marketing, addiction, health effects of smoking and secondhand smoke exposure, emerging tobacco, cannabis and vaping products, cessation, cannabis substitution for opioids, and analyses of tobacco and opioid industry documents. The diverse fellow backgrounds and interests in the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education provides a cooperative environment that creates continuous opportunities to learn from and appreciate work in other disciplines. Each fellow creates an Individual Development Plan that is reviewed by both mentors and the Fellowship Committee. The Committee selects fellows from a competitive national pool: we average 29 applications per year for 3 slots. Between 2016-2021, our fellows produced 135 papers in 68 different journals. Since 2001, we have trained 92 fellows (62 funded by NIH training grants since 2006); 93% of our R25/T32 graduates have research careers in academic, government and nongovernmental institutions, and 54% are academic faculty.
