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）已经成为医疗保健前线研究的强大实验室，大多数癌症预防服务都是在那里提供的。然而，PBRN很少被系统地用作癌症控制研究的社区实验室。基于10年的经验与NCI资助的研究作为PBRN和NCI指定的综合癌症中心之间的伙伴关系，我们建议培养新一代的癌症控制研究人员谁将在与PBRN进行研究经验丰富。 这将通过为期2-3年的博士后奖学金来完成，以培训临床研究人员（医生，牙医，医生准备的护士）在PBRN中进行癌症控制研究。一个多学科的导师团队将指导每个研究员的培训和发展与社区和学术成员。研究员将参加密集的核心课程。 此外，高度个性化的纵向课程将包括灵活的教育机会，以满足他们的具体需求，包括公共卫生硕士学位的选择。研究员将与PBRN合作开发和开展自己的癌症控制研究项目，并将获得促进临床医生发起的研究的经验。研究员将保持他们的临床技能，并通过在PBRN实践中实践获得额外的见解。 这个综合的博士后计划将为学术癌症控制研究人员的职业生涯做好准备，他们拥有产生重要新知识的技能和关系，并有能力成功地将研究成果转化为真实的世界实践。

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.
