DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): With an aging population, the burden of cancer in the US keeps increasing despite improvements in primary prevention, early detection, and treatment. As research in cancer prevention has grown in sophistication and complexity, the need for multidisciplinary training in the population sciences is greater than ever. The purpose of this training program is to prepare young scientists who will elucidate the causes of cancer and develop strategies to reduce cancer incidence and mortality. This Cancer Education and Career Development Program (CECDP) will focus on nutritional epidemiology and behavioral cancer prevention in a multiethnic population. The program based at the Cancer Research Center at the University of Hawaii will be led by population researchers representing the disciplines of nutrition, behavioral sciences, epidemiology, and biostatistics and actively engaged in conducting population science research. The program will build on several unique resources, such as three prospective cohorts, access to consortia, a nutritional data base designed for multiethnic populations, the Hawaii Tumor Registry, and Kaiser Permanente Hawaii. The specific aims of the proposed postdoctoral program in Hawaii are to train postdoctoral fellows to function as independent researchers in a multidisciplinary environment focusing on nutritional epidemiology and behavioral cancer prevention in a multiethnic population; to provide a specialized curriculum in biostatistics, nutrition, epidemiology, behavioral sciences, biomarkers, and genetics for research in multiethnic populations; and to offer extensive applied experience in conducting transdisciplinary cancer prevention research, designing new research projects, and writing grant proposals and manuscripts. Postdoctoral trainees will complete a two-to three-year program that will include multiple mentors, transdisciplinary research experiences, and educational opportunities. The core requirements of this CECDP consist of a specialized curriculum, rotations providing practical research experience, a seminar series addressing basic research requirements and skills, research seminars and journal clubs at CRCH, scientific meetings and conferences, formal course work including a degree option at the University of Hawaii, training courses at NCI and other institutions, and a mock grant review. Each trainee will develop individualized education and career development plans based on the prior academic preparation and career goals. The specialized curriculum will include four major components designed as preparation to work with multiethnic study populations: biostatistics, nutrition, behavioral sciences, and biomarker analysis. This research environment, together with the proposed program plan, provides an ideal opportunity to train high-quality collaborative cancer prevention scientists. With increasing ethnic diversity of the population in the United States, skills learned in our postdoctoral training will enable young researchers to explore issues in cancer etiology and survivorship in populations with diverse ethnic backgrounds and to develop interventions that are tailored to individuals with different eating behaviors and cultural norms.

描述（由申请人提供）：随着人口老龄化，尽管在一级预防、早期发现和治疗方面有所改善，但美国的癌症负担仍在不断增加。随着癌症预防研究的复杂性和复杂性不断提高，对人口科学多学科培训的需求比以往任何时候都更大。该培训计划的目的是培养年轻科学家，他们将阐明癌症的原因并制定降低癌症发病率和死亡率的策略。该癌症教育和职业发展计划（CECDP）将侧重于多种族人群的营养流行病学和行为癌症预防。该计划设在夏威夷大学癌症研究中心，将由代表营养学、行为科学、流行病学和生物统计学学科的人口研究人员领导，并积极从事人口科学研究。该计划将建立在几个独特的资源，如三个前瞻性队列，进入财团，营养数据库，为多民族人口，夏威夷肿瘤登记，和凯撒永久夏威夷设计。拟议的博士后计划在夏威夷的具体目标是培养博士后研究员作为独立的研究人员在一个多学科的环境中，侧重于营养流行病学和行为癌症的预防在多民族人口;提供一个专门的课程，在生物统计学，营养，流行病学，行为科学，生物标志物和遗传学的研究在多民族人口;并提供广泛的应用经验，进行跨学科的癌症预防研究，设计新的研究项目，并撰写赠款建议和手稿。博士后学员将完成一个为期两到三年的计划，其中包括多个导师，跨学科的研究经验和教育机会。该CECDP的核心要求包括专业课程，提供实践研究经验的轮换，解决基本研究要求和技能的研讨会系列，研究 CRCH的研讨会和期刊俱乐部，科学会议和大会，正式课程工作，包括夏威夷大学的学位选择，NCI和其他机构的培训课程，以及模拟赠款审查。每位学员将根据之前的学术准备和职业目标制定个性化的教育和职业发展计划。专业课程将包括四个主要组成部分，旨在为多种族研究人群的工作做准备：生物统计学，营养学，行为科学和生物标志物分析。这种研究环境，加上拟议的计划，提供了一个理想的机会，培养高质量的合作癌症预防科学家。随着美国人口种族多样性的增加，在我们的博士后培训中学到的技能将使年轻的研究人员能够探索具有不同种族背景的人群中的癌症病因和生存问题，并制定针对不同饮食行为和文化规范的个体的干预措施。
