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）：此教育计划是在NCI培训分支的鼓励和建议下提交的。 通过扩大教育和培训计划推进营养研究，特别是与营养和癌症有关的计划，是国家癌症研究所癌症预防司营养科学研究小组的高度优先事项。 该申请符合R25 T机制的指导方针，包括提供持续的领导力，专门的教师时间，明确的专业课程，跨学科的研究环境，以及每个计划参与者有一个以上的导师。 这一机制是特别合适的，因为它是适应特殊的跨学科，但重点，这一方案的需要，这是基于营养和流行病学的接口。 该计划由Meir Stampfer博士领导，Walter Willett博士担任联合首席研究员，Edward Giovannucci博士担任教育总监。 拟议中的方案有丰富的其他资源可供利用。 哈佛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教学培训的公认中心。 营养系将相当大的精力集中在营养流行病学上。 该教育计划还利用了Dana-Farber/哈佛癌症中心（DF/HCC）内的各种研究机会，该中心是一个矩阵癌症中心，代表了七个哈佛附属机构的癌症研究。 这项工作包括饮食与癌症领域的重大进展，例如建立了三个大型队列，其中包括25万多名男女，对饮食进行了长达25年的重复测量。 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的广泛领域的其他方面，这些领域超出了培训补助金的重点。 通过拟议的培训补助金，我们计划汇集已经到位的各种元素，并创造新的元素，以建立一个连贯和集中的跨学科计划，在癌症的营养流行病学。 拟议的癌症营养流行病学培训补助金将提供一个独特的利基市场，它将与其他培训赠款相辅相成，协同增效，以促进在健全的生物学基础上预防和控制癌症的强有力环境。
