Core D: Research Training and Education Plan p310-320

本申请建议将马里兰州大学公园分校的跨学科研究重点培训项目扩展到博士后。显然，为了在复杂的烟草管制问题上取得进展，需要采取复杂的办法。基础科学家和应用科学家共同努力改善人口健康的压力越来越大。跨学科合作有助于接触不同的理论、方法、途径和研究传统，从而增加创新，加速将证据转化为尼古丁/烟草产品的科学监管。我们的目标是促进学员的持续生产，舒适的跨学科工作，成为下一代的跨学科烟草控制研究人员。 我们将提供广泛的烟草控制科学培训，补充和提高他们的学术背景，培训他们进行与烟草产品的制造，分销和营销监管有关的尖端研究。我们所有的研究项目都以建立监管的科学基础为最终目标。 培训核心D的目标是： 目标1：培养对与《家庭吸烟预防和烟草控制法》相关的广泛的烟草监管科学有较强基础知识的博士后学者。被任命者将成为舒适的跨学科线和参与研究与研究传统，语言和工具的差异。 目标2：确保被任命者在其感兴趣的领域至少支持一个跨学科项目。该项目必须结合联合收割机至少两个学科的传统。 目标三：制定跨学科的烟草控制研究课程，可与TCORS中心的下一代科学家和被任命者分享。

This application proposes the expansion of a transdisciplinary research focused training program at the University of Maryland College Park to post-doctoral appointees. It is apparent that in order to make progress in the complex problem of tobacco control, a complex approach is needed. There is increasing pressure for basic and applied scientists to work together to improve population health. Cross-disciplinary collaborations facilitate exposure to different theories, methods, approaches and research traditions that will result in increased innovation and the acceleration of the translation of evidence into science-based regulation of nicotine/tobacco products. We aim to facilitate the continued production of trainees that are comfortable working across disciplines, to become the next generation of transdisciplinary tobacco control researchers. We will provide training in the broad range of tobacco control science that complements and enhances their academic backgrounds, to train them to conduct cutting-edge research related to the regulation of the manufacture, distribution and marketing of tobacco products. All of our research programs have as the ultimate goal a science base for regulation. The objectives of Training Core D are: Objective 1: To produce post-doctoral scholars who have a strong basic knowledge of a broad range of tobacco regulatory sciences relevant to the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. Appointees will become comfortable crossing disciplinary lines and participating in research with differences in research traditions, languages and tools. Objective 2: To assure the support for at least one transdisciplinary project performed by the appointee in his/her area of interest. The project must combine at least two disciplinary traditions. Objective 3: To produce a transdisciplinary tobacco control research curriculum that can be shared with next generation scientists and appointees across the TCORS Centers.
