The aim of this Cancer Education Grant (CEG) is to train the next generation of scientists to become highly successful, independently funded transdisciplinary NIH researchers in cancer prevention, control and population sciences. The focus is on the first three years of early research career development following completion of a postdoctoral fellowship within a traditional departmental structure (e.g. medicine, psychiatry/psychology, public health). Thus, upon completion of this program, the candidates will be between four and six years postgraduate and ideally positioned to obtain NCI funding in areas designed as "extraordinary" opportunities by the NCI's Cancer Prevention and Cancer Control Review Group reports (1997). Specifically, it will focus on mentorship from primary and secondary mentors from different disciplines and a highly individualized training plan of placement with ongoing cancer research programs. A curriculum in transdisciplinary research for cancer prevention, control and population sciences that provides a balance of common shared training and individual instructional opportunities will be developed and refined. This CEG capitalizes on the unique strengths and the cooperation of three major programs at Brown: (a) The Center for Behavioral and Preventive Medicine including, the Center for Weight Control and Diabetes Research and the Department of Psychiatry; (b) the Public Health program including the Center for Gerontology and Health Care Research and the Center for Statistical Sciences; and (c) the Brown University Oncology Group and campus based cancer biology research associated with the Brown Cancer Center. The CEG is designed to foster understanding of the importance of tobacco addiction, diet, and physical activity and other behavioral/psychosocial factors in cancer prevention and control across the five phases of NCI research (basic, preclinical, clinical, dissemination, and policy formation). The CEG will enroll one Ph.D. and one M.D. candidate per year for four years. The proposed research training program will include three components: 1) supervised participation in the ongoing work of established research teams, one led by a primary mentor and the other by a secondary mentor from another discipline; 2) participation in Brown's MS or MPH program with required competency and/or courses in public health, behavioral medicine, and cancer biology; and 3) participation in an innovative prosemmar in behavioral medicine, that focuses on transdisciplinary cancer prevention and control research. This program benefits from the participation of enthusiastic and committed faculty. Brown has a strong history of transdisciplinary research and training efforts at the predoctoral and postdoctoral (e.g. T-32) level. The CEG will bridge the gap between disciplines and provide an additional three years of early career support and mentorship to ensure a successful NCI-funded research career.

这项癌症教育补助金(CEG)的目的是培养下一代科学家，使他们成为在癌症预防、控制和人口科学方面非常成功的、独立资助的NIH跨学科研究人员。重点放在完成传统部门结构(如医学、精神病学/心理学、公共卫生)博士后奖学金后的早期研究职业发展的头三年。因此，在完成这一项目后，应聘者将拥有四到六年的研究生学位，在NCI的癌症预防和癌症控制审查小组报告(1997)中被设计为“非同寻常的”机会的领域获得NCI资助是理想的。具体地说，它将专注于来自不同学科的初级和次级导师的指导，以及与正在进行的癌症研究计划一起的高度个性化的培训计划。将开发和完善癌症预防、控制和人口科学的跨学科研究课程，提供共同共享培训和个人教学机会之间的平衡。这一CEG利用了布朗大学三个主要项目的独特优势和合作：(A)行为和预防医学中心，包括体重控制和糖尿病研究中心和精神病学系；(B)公共卫生项目，包括老年学和医疗保健研究中心和统计科学中心；以及(C)布朗大学肿瘤学小组和与布朗癌症中心相关的校园癌症生物学研究。CEG的目的是在NCI研究的五个阶段(基础、临床前、临床、传播和政策形成)促进对烟草成瘾、饮食和体育活动以及其他行为/心理社会因素在癌症预防和控制中的重要性的理解。CEG将在四年内每年招收一名博士和一名医学博士候选人。拟议的研究培训计划将包括三个部分：1)在监督下参与现有研究团队的持续工作，一个由一名主要导师领导，另一支由另一学科的二级导师领导；2)参加布朗大学公共卫生、行为医学和癌症生物学方面的MS或公共卫生硕士项目和/或课程；以及3)参加行为医学的创新学科，重点是跨学科的癌症预防和控制研究。这项计划得益于热情和敬业的教职员工的参与。布朗在博士后和博士后(如T-32)层面的跨学科研究和培训工作方面有着深厚的历史。CEG将弥合学科之间的差距，并提供额外三年的早期职业支持和指导，以确保NCI资助的研究生涯取得成功。
