Research Traiing/Education Core

项目总结(见说明)： 宾夕法尼亚大学健康差异综合卓越中心正在提出一个多重点的研究培训计划。这种培训的动机是迫切需要研究人员能够使用新的方法来了解癌症健康差异，并进一步转化这项研究产生的信息，以减少癌症健康差异。这一癌症健康差异研究培训和职业发展计划的具体目标是：提供适合癌症健康差异研究的内容和方法技术方面的教育机会和培训；以及在癌症健康差异研究方面与导师一起提供多层次培训的监督研究经验。 该计划将提供多个层次的培训。首先，将建立每月一次的研讨会，重点是癌症健康差异的研究、翻译和推广。这些研讨会将为研究人员、工作人员、社区成员、临床医生、学生和其他感兴趣的各方提供当前研究和消除癌症健康差异的方法的概述。第二，我们将在与健康差距相关的领域提供短期课程和学分课程，供新生和 寻求在健康差距方面进行额外培训的知名研究人员。第三，我们将为参加国家或地区会议的初级教职员工和学生提供有竞争力的资金，以展示他们在健康差距方面的工作。第四，我们将支持为宾夕法尼亚大学参与Sumr项目的本科生提供培训。这些受训者将拥有密集的指导研究经验，旨在引导他们进入健康差距研究职业生涯。最后，我们将与其他人紧密结合 宾夕法尼亚大学的培训计划与正规课程和学位授予计划建立联系，以加强差异研究方面的培训和教育机会。这一整合将使学员能够确定他们可以与之互动的共同学员，利用研究资源和课程培训，并参加研讨会、期刊俱乐部和其他相关的学术机会。这些计划包括罗伯特·伍德·约翰逊健康和社会学者计划。硕士、博士 通过临床流行病学和生物统计中心提供的计划，以及癌症方面的机构培训计划。

PROJECT SUMMARY (See instructions): The Comprehensive Center of Excellence in Health Disparities at the University of Pennsylvania is proposing a multi-focused Research Training Program. This training is motivated by the critical need for researchers who can use novel methods to understand cancer health disparities, and to further translate the information resulting from this research to diminish cancer health disparities. The specific aims of this training and career development program in cancer health disparities research are to: Provide educational opportunities and training in content and methodologic techniques appropriate for cancer health disparities research; and provide supervised research experiences at multiple levels of training with mentors in cancer health disparities research. This program will provide training on a number of levels. First, will establish a monthly symposium focused on cancer health disparities research, translation, and outreach. These symposia will provide researchers, staff, community members, clinicians, students, and other interested parties an overview of current approaches to the study and elimination of cancer health disparities. Second, we will provide a short course and a credit-bearing course in health disparities-related areas that will be available to new and established researchers who are seeking additional training in health disparities. Third, we will provide competitive funding for travel to national or regional meetings for junior faculty and students to present their work in health disparities. Fourth, we will support training for undergraduate students who are involved in the SUMR program at Penn. These trainees will have intensive mentored research experiences that are intended to lead them into health disparities research careers. Finally, We will integrate closely with other training programs at Penn to develop linkages with formal coursework and degree-granting programs to enhance the training and education opportunities in disparities research. This integration will allow trainees to identify co-trainees with whom they can interact, take advantage of research resources and course training, and participate in seminars, journal clubs, and other relevant academic opportunities. These programs include the Robert Wood Johnson Health and Society Scholars program. Masters and Doctoral programs offered through the Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, and institutional training programs in cancer.
