Implementation Research Training Program in Cancer Prevention and Control

摘要 通过这项R25T应用，我们打算建立一个跨学科的研究教育和培训计划 在马萨诸塞大学医学院(UMMS)，专注于癌症的实施研究 预防和控制，包括吸烟、肥胖、饮食、体育活动、皮肤癌预防和癌症 放映。在癌症预防知识的发现和癌症预防之间存在着有据可查的差距 在临床实践、公共卫生实践和卫生政策中控制和应用这一知识 有利于人群健康。实施研究已经成为一个多学科领域，寻求 缩小这些差距。我们建议为博士后研究员提供跨学科培训计划，以促进 通过学术培训和辅导发展独立实施研究人员 研究经验。为了实现这一目标，我们提出了五个具体目标：1)建立一个 基础设施，以支持癌症预防方面的实施、研究、教育和培训；2)发展 并实施侧重于癌症预防实施研究的教育课程 获得实施科学专业硕士学位；3)提供有指导的研究经验 与我们的合作组织合作，面向博士后研究员；4)招聘高素质、多样化的 候选人；5)有效地监督和评估该计划。此应用程序是 年，UMMS预防和行为医学部和定量健康科学部 与其他科室(家庭医学和社区卫生、精神病学)和中心合作 (迈耶斯初级保健研究所，预防研究中心，健康公平干预研究中心， 健康地理实验室、移动健康中心、烟草治疗和研究中心)。基础设施和 通过华盛顿大学临床与翻译科学中心(NIH)建立的跨校区合作 CTSA)，包括加州大学阿默斯特分校公共卫生和健康科学学院以及计算机科学学院 和马萨诸塞州大学波士顿分校也将被杠杆化。临床和社区合作伙伴包括： 卓越，贝德福德和中央马萨诸塞州退伍军人医学中心，马萨诸塞州纪念医疗保健，爱德华M。 肯尼迪社区卫生中心，马萨诸塞州公共卫生部，NCI赞助 癌症研究网络和加州大学马萨诸塞州公共卫生学院公共卫生培训中心 健康科学。我们建议每年招收两到三名研究员。在培训计划结束时， 我们预计研究员将以独立调查人员的身份建立职业生涯，他们将专注于消除差距 在将循证癌症预防研究转化为实践方面。

ABSTRACT With this R25t application we intend to establish an interdisciplinary research education and training program at the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS) focused on implementation research in cancer prevention and control, including tobacco, obesity, diet, physical activity, skin cancer prevention and cancer screenings. There are well-documented gaps between the discovery of knowledge in cancer prevention and control and the application of this knowledge in clinical practice, public health practice, and health policy to benefit population health. Implementation research has emerged as a multi-disciplinary field that seeks to alleviate these gaps. We propose an interdisciplinary training program for postdoctoral fellows that will promote the development of independent implementation researchers through academic training and mentored research experiences. To achieve this goal, we propose five specific aims: 1) To establish an administrative infrastructure to support implementation research education and training in cancer prevention; 2) To develop and implement educational curricula focusing on implementation research in cancer prevention with the option of receiving an MS degree specializing in implementation science; 3) To offer mentored research experiences for postdoctoral fellows in collaboration with our partnering organizations; 4) To recruit highly qualified, diverse candidates; and 5) To effectively monitor and evaluate the program. This application is a joint effort of the UMMS Division of Preventive and Behavioral Medicine and Department of Quantitative Health Sciences, in collaboration with additional departments (Family Medicine and Community Health, Psychiatry) and centers (Meyers Primary Care Institute, Prevention Research Center, Center for Health Equity Intervention Research, Health Geography Lab, Center for mHealth, Center for Tobacco Treatment and Research). Infrastructure and cross campus collaborations established through the UMass Center for Clinical and Translational Science (NIH CTSA), including the UMass Amherst Schools of Public Health and Health Sciences and Computer Science and UMass Boston, will also be leveraged. Clinical and community partners include: the Cancer Center of Excellence, the Bedford and Central MA VA Medical Centers, UMass Memorial Health Care, the Edward M. Kennedy Community Health Center, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, the NCI-sponsored Cancer Research Network and the Public Health Training Center at the UMass School of Public Health and Health Sciences. We propose to enroll two to three fellows per year. At the completion of the training program, we anticipate that fellows will establish careers as independent investigators who will focus on eliminating gaps in the translation of evidence-based cancer prevention research into practice.
