Practice-Based Research Network Cancer Control Training

描述（由申请人提供）：基于实践的研究网络癌症控制培训（PBRN-CCT）基于实践的研究网络（pbrn）已经成为大多数癌症预防服务提供的医疗保健前线研究的强大实验室。然而，pbrn很少被系统地作为社区实验室参与癌症控制研究。作为一个PBRN和一个nci指定的综合癌症中心之间的合作伙伴关系，在nci资助的研究的十年经验的基础上，我们建议培训新一代的癌症控制研究人员，他们将在使用PBRN进行研究方面经验丰富。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Practice-Based Research Network Cancer Control Training (PBRN-CCT) Practice-Based Research Networks (PBRNs) have emerged as powerful laboratories for research at the front lines of medical care where most cancer preventive services are delivered. However, PBRNs have rarely been systematically engaged as community laboratories for cancer control research. Building on a decade of experience with NCI-funded research as a partnership between a PBRN and an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center, we propose to train a new generation of cancer control researchers who will be experienced in conducting research with PBRNs. This will be accomplished through a 2-3 year post-doctoral fellowship to train clinician-researchers (physicians, dentists, doctorally-prepared nurses) to conduct cancer control research in PBRNs. A multidisciplinary mentorship team will guide each fellow's training and development with both community and academic membership. Fellows will engage in an intensive core curriculum. In addition, a highly individualized longitudinal curriculum will include flexible opportunities for education to meet their specific needs, including an option for a master's degree in public health. Fellows will develop and conduct their own cancer control research project in partnership with a PBRN, and will gain experience in facilitating clinician-initiated research. Fellows will maintain their clinical skills and gain additional insights by practicing in a PBRN practice. This integrated post-doctoral program will prepare fellows for careers as academic cancer control researchers who possess the skills and relationships to generate important new knowledge, and the ability to successfully translate research findings into real world practice.
