Core D: Career Development Program

合格的烟草控制科学家严重短缺，特别是在发展中国家。我们设想，这个TTURC的培训部分是国际烟草控制研究培训计划的开始，重点是将科学转化为政策。职业发展计划(CDP)的目标是通过投入资源培训年轻的研究人员，战略性地将国内外知名的烟草控制研究人员联系起来，以及促进烟草控制科学家的跨学科培训，来建设烟草政策研究的能力。我们创建了两个职业发展奖励路径来支持这些目标：1)过渡/青年科学家路径，将资助新的或有经验的研究人员过渡到烟草控制领域，为期最长3年(每年竞争性续签)；2)短期强化跨学科路径，将为TTURC协查人员提供简短的跨学科培训。此外，我们还将支持为发展中国家的调查人员开发关于烟草政策专题的在线培训模块以及会议和会议旅行。每年将宣布一项资助声明，并利用包括GLOBALink、ETC(电子烟草控制)、尼古丁和烟草研究协会在内的国际名单服务，以及通过与全球领先的烟草控制专家直接沟通，向世界各地的科学家广泛宣传。我们预计每年支持3-4个职业发展奖。CDP审查委员会主席 杰弗里·方博士和卡梅隆、乔维诺、科兹洛夫斯基、奥马尔、罗斯和韦克菲尔德博士将监督该项目。RPCI承诺每年提供75,000美元支持CDP。

There is a critical shortage of qualified tobacco control scientists, especially in developing countries. We envision the training component of this TTURC as the start of international tobacco control research training program that focuses on science-to-policy translation. The Career Development Program (CDP) has the goal of building capacity for tobacco policy research by investing resources in training young researchers, strategically linking established tobacco control researchers within and across countries, and promoting cross-disciplinary training of tobacco control scientists. We have created two Career Development award tracks to support these aims: 1) Transitioning/Young Scientist Track, will fund new or experienced investigators transitioning to the tobacco control field for a period of up to 3 years (competitively renewed annually); and 2) Short-Term Intensive Transdisciplinary Track, which will fund brief transdisciplinary training for TTURC co-investigators. In addition we will support the development of online training modules on tobacco policy topics and conferences and conference travel for investigators from developing countries. A funding announcement will be made annually and advertised widely to scientists throughout the world using international list serves including GLOBALink, eTC (electronic Tobacco Control), the Society for Nicotine and Tobacco Research, and through direct communication with leading tobacco control experts around the globe. We expect to support 3-4 career development awards per year. A CDP Review Committee chaired by Geoffrey Fong, PhD and consisting of Drs. Cameron, Giovino, Kozlowski, Omar, Ross, and Wakefield will oversee the program. RPCI has committed $75,000 per year to support the CDP.
