DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This education program is being submitted with the encouragement and advice of the NCI Training Branch. Advancing nutrition research through expanded education and training programs, especially those related to nutrition and cancer, is a high priority of the Nutritional Science Research Group of the Division of Cancer Prevention at the National Cancer Institute. This application meets the guidelines for the R25T mechanism, including the provision of sustained leadership, dedicated faculty time, a well-defined specialized curriculum, interdisciplinary research environments, and more than one mentor per program participant. This mechanism is particularly appropriate because it is adaptable to the special interdisciplinary, yet focused, needs of this program, which is based on the interface of nutrition and epidemiology. This program is led by Dr. Meir Stampfer, with Dr. Walter Willett as co-Principal Investigator and Dr. Edward Giovannucci as Education Director. The proposed program has a wealth of other resources upon which to draw. The Department of Epidemiology at Harvard School of Public Health has long been a recognized center for didactic training in epidemiologic methods and cancer epidemiology in general. The Department of Nutrition has focused considerable energy in nutritional epidemiology. This educational program also draws on diverse research opportunities within the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center (DF/HCC), a matrix cancer center representing cancer research across seven Harvard-affiliated institutions. This work has included major developments in the area of diet and cancer such as the creation of three large cohorts comprising over 250,000 men and women with repeated measures of diet followed for as long as 25 years. Participants in this program will also have the opportunity to gain familiarity with other aspects of the broad areas of epidemiology and cancer etiology and prevention that extend beyond the focus of the training grant. Through the proposed training grant, we plan to bring together the various elements already in place, and create new elements to build a coherent and focused interdisciplinary program in nutritional epidemiology of cancer. The proposed training grant in Nutritional Epidemiology of Cancer will provide a unique niche, and it will be complementary, and synergistic, with the other training grants to foster a strong environment for cancer prevention and control, based on sound biology.

描述（由申请人提供）：该教育计划是在NCI培训部门的鼓励和建议下提交的。 通过扩大的教育和培训计划，尤其是与营养和癌症相关的研究，可以推进营养研究，这是国家癌症研究所癌症预防部营养科学研究小组的重点。 该申请符合R25T机制的准则，包括提供持续的领导力，专门的教师时间，定义明确的专业课程，跨学科研究环境以及每个计划参与者的一位导师。 这种机制特别适合，因为它适合该计划的特殊跨学科但专注的需求，该计划基于营养和流行病学的界面。 该计划由Meir Stampfer博士领导，沃尔特·威利特（Walter Willett）博士担任联合主持调查员，爱德华·乔瓦纳奇（Edward Giovannucci）博士担任教育总监。 拟议的计划还有大量其他资源可以借鉴。 哈佛大学公共卫生学院流行病学系长期以来一直是流行病学方法和癌症流行病学方面的教学培训中心。 营养部以营养流行病学为重点。 该教育计划还借鉴了Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center（DF/HCC）的各种研究机会，该中心是一个代表七个哈佛大学隶属机构的癌症研究的基质癌症中心。 这项工作包括在饮食和癌症领域的主要发展，例如创建三个大型队列，其中包括25万名男性和女性，并重复采用饮食措施，持续了长达25年。 该计划的参与者还将有机会熟悉流行病学和癌症病因学和预防领域的其他方面，这些方面超出了培训赠款的重点。 通过拟议的培训补助金，我们计划将已经到位的各种要素汇总在一起，并创建新的要素，以在癌症的营养流行病学中建立连贯且重点的跨学科计划。 拟议的癌症营养流行病学培训补助金将提供独特的利基市场，它将是补充和协同作用的，其他培训赠款以基于声音生物学的基础促进了强大的预防癌症预防和控制环境。
