Pre- & Post-doctoral Training Program in Cancer Control

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案的总体目标是提供高质量的癌症控制培训，培养一批具有独特研究技能的年轻科学家。我们将在人类遗传学、生物统计学和心理学领域提供博士前培训，并在多学科环境中提供博士前和博士后培训。我们将根据我们在梅西癌症中心和弗吉尼亚联邦大学的优势进行培训，包括研究优质护理/健康服务、癌症预防干预和差异问题、使用大型双胞胎和家庭数据库的遗传影响、癌症相关疼痛和生活质量。我们的癌症培训将提供一个专门的课程，结合我们机构的癌症控制优势。这些学员参与癌症控制培训补助金将促进富有成效的合作，从而产生新的研究计划，并为培训年轻研究人员提供肥沃的环境。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overarching aim of this proposal is to provide high quality training in cancer control and generate a group of young scientists with unique research skills. We will provide pre-doctoral training in the areas of human genetics, biostatistics and psychology and pre- and post-doctoral training in a multidisciplinary environment. We will train according to our strengths at Massey Cancer Center and Virginia Commonwealth University including research in quality care/health services, cancer prevention interventions and disparity issues, genetic influences using large twin and family databases, and cancer-related pain and quality of life. Our cancer training will provide a specialized curriculum that unites cancer control strengths at our institution. The involvement of these trainees within the cancer control training grant will foster productive collaborations leading to new research initiatives, and provide a fertile environment for training of young investigators.
