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，尽管初级预防、早期检测和治疗有所改善，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) 将重点关注多种族人群的营养流行病学和行为癌症预防。该项目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等学科的人口研究人员领导，积极从事人口科学研究。该计划将建立在几个独特的资源的基础上，例如三个前瞻性队列、联盟的访问权、专为多种族人群设计的营养数据库、夏威夷肿瘤登记处和夏威夷凯撒医疗机构。夏威夷拟议的博士后项目的具体目标是培训博士后研究员在多学科环境中作为独立研究人员，重点关注多种族人群的营养流行病学和行为癌症预防；为多种族人群的研究提供生物统计学、营养学、流行病学、行为科学、生物标志物和遗传学方面的专门课程；并在进行跨学科癌症预防研究、设计新研究项目以及撰写资助提案和手稿方面提供丰富的应用经验。博士后学员将完成一个为期两到三年的计划，其中包括多名导师、跨学科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、科学会议和会议、正式课程（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资助审查。每位学员将根据之前的学业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做好准备：生物统计学、营养学、行为科学和生物标志物分析。这种研究环境以及拟议的项目计划为培训高素质的合作癌症预防科学家提供了理想的机会。随着美国人口种族多样性的不断增加，我们在博士后培训中学到的技能将使年轻研究人员能够探索不同种族背景人群的癌症病因和生存问题，并制定适合不同饮食行为和文化规范的个人的干预措施。
