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。我们设想这一TTURC的培训部分是国际烟草控制研究培训计划的开始，该计划侧重于将科学转化为政策。职业发展规划的目标是建设烟草政策研究的能力，方法是投资资源培训年轻研究人员，战略性地将各国国内和各国已有的控烟研究人员联系起来，并促进控烟科学家的跨学科培训。我们已经创建了两个职业发展奖励轨道来支持这些目标：1)过渡/青年科学家轨道，将资助新的或有经验的研究人员过渡到烟草控制领域长达3年（每年竞争性更新）；2)短期强化跨学科培训，为TTURC合作研究人员提供短期跨学科培训。此外，我们将支持为发展中国家的调查人员开发关于烟草政策主题和会议以及会议旅行的在线培训模块。每年将发布一项资助公告，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清单服务，并通过与全球主要烟草控制专家的直接沟通，向全世界的科学家广泛宣传。我们希望每年支持3-4个职业发展奖项。担任CDP审查委员会主席

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.
