宾夕法尼亚州立大学（PS）TCORS是宾夕法尼亚州立大学医学院（CoM）和健康与人类发展学院（HHD）之间的一项持续跨学科举措，旨在创建一个基于能力的多学科烟草监管科学中心，该中心将利用基础设施、课程、和教师在全国最大的公立大学之一，在准备和推进下一代临床和基础教育方面享有盛誉。科学家通过与乔治华盛顿大学（GWU）合作，我们的TCORS培训能力和覆盖面得到了显著提高，带来了应用烟草政策和法规方面的专业知识，并将这种培训扩展到了国家首都。我们提出了一个培训计划，是全面的范围;有针对性地培训博士前的学生，博士后研究员/初级教师和专业人员使用一个逐步的，个性化的计划，将包括一个在线的世界校园选项和现场传统的教室设置在PSU与GWU的二级网站。我们的培训模式的基础是其专业重点的教育和研究，从成瘾的生物行为模型，药理学和与烟草制品使用相关的分子生物标志物，烟草相关危害和政策的公共卫生模型，烟草控制干预措施，传播科学和社区参与。我们的计划包括四个基本组成部分：1）烟草监管科学，研究，政策和道德课程; 2）职业发展与全方位的学院和大学范围的关系，资源和经验; 3）个人指导的研究或培训项目;和4）一个在线世界校园，连接两个PSU校园（好时和大学公园），并提供给所有TCORS网站。在为期五年的TCORS奖期间，我们将在4个PSU博士前学生（学员），4个PSU博士后研究员/初级教师（学者）培训，并将我们的培训计划扩展到其他TCORS网站和我们的GWU合作伙伴网站位置，以培训科学家和工作专业人员在04年和05年。

The Penn State (PS) TCORS is a sustained transdisciplinary initiative between the PS Colleges of Medicine (CoM) and Health and Human Development (HHD) to create a competency-based multidisciplinary Tobacco Regulatory Science Center that will leverage the infrastructure, curriculum, and faculty in one of the largest public universities in the nation with an outstanding reputation for preparing and advancing the next generation of clinical and basic scientists. Our TCORS training capacity and reach is significantly enhanced through a partnership with George Washington University (GWU) bringing expertise on applied tobacco policy and regulation, extending this training to the Nation's Capital. We propose a training program that is comprehensive in scope; targeted to training pre-doctoral students, postdoctoral fellows/junior faculty and professionals using a step-wise, individualized program that will include an online World Campus option and on-site traditional classroom settings at PSU with a secondary site at GWU. The basis of our training model is its specialty focused education and research ranging from biobehavioral models of addiction, pharmacology and molecular biomarkers relevant to use of tobacco products, public health models of tobacco-related harm and policy, to tobacco control interventions, communication sciences, and community engagement. Our program includes four fundamental components: 1) a curriculum in tobacco regulatory science, research, policy, and ethics; 2) career development with a full-range from college and university-wide relationships, resources, and experiences; 3) an individual mentored research or training project; and 4) an online World Campus that bridges both PSU campuses (Hershey and University Park) and available to all TCORS sites. Over the five year TCORS award period, we will train at 4 PSU pre-doctoral students (trainees), 4 PSU post-doctoral fellows/junior faculty (scholars), and extend our training program to other TCORS sites and to our GWU partner site location to train scientists and working professionals in years 04 and 05.
