TRANSDISCIPLINARY CANCER CONTROL RESEARCH TRAINING GRANT

该癌症教育补助金（CEG）的目的是培养下一代科学家成为癌症预防，控制和人口科学领域非常成功，独立资助的跨学科NIH研究人员。 重点是在传统部门结构（例如医学，精神病学/心理学，公共卫生）内完成博士后研究金后的前三年早期研究职业发展。 因此，在完成这一计划后，候选人将在四到六年的研究生和理想的定位，以获得NCI的资金，在NCI的癌症预防和癌症控制审查小组报告（1997年）设计为“非凡”的机会领域。 具体而言，它将侧重于来自不同学科的小学和中学导师的指导，以及与正在进行的癌症研究项目一起进行的高度个性化的培训计划。 将制定和完善一个跨学科研究的癌症预防、控制和人口科学课程，该课程提供共同分享的培训和个人教学机会的平衡。 该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以及精神病学系;（B）公共卫生项目，包括老年学和卫生保健研究中心以及统计科学中心;及（c）布朗大学肿瘤学小组及与布朗癌症中心有关的校园癌症生物学研究。 CEG旨在促进对烟草成瘾，饮食和身体活动以及其他行为/心理社会因素在NCI研究的五个阶段（基础，临床前，临床，传播和政策形成）癌症预防和控制中的重要性的理解。 CEG将招收一名博士。还有一个医学博士候选人每年四次。 拟议的研究培训计划将包括三个组成部分：1）监督参与已建立的研究团队的正在进行的工作，一个由主要导师领导，另一个由来自另一学科的二级导师领导; 2）参与布朗的MS或MPH计划，具有所需的能力和/或公共卫生，行为医学和癌症生物学课程;以及3）参与行为医学的创新prosemmar，其重点是跨学科的癌症预防和控制研究。 该计划受益于热情和承诺的教师的参与。 布朗大学在博士前和博士后（例如T-32）水平的跨学科研究和培训工作方面有着悠久的历史。 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，以确保成功的NCI资助的研究生涯。

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.
