Mentored Training for Dissemination and Implemention Research in Cancer

描述（由申请人提供）：背景。大部分癌症负担是可以预防的，但在已知的控制癌症的证据与社区和临床环境中的应用之间仍然存在很大的差距。在过去的十年里，传播与实施科学（D&I）研究已经出现，以缩短“翻译差距”。“这个R25 E教育计划具有独特的优势，可以建立癌症预防和控制的D&I研究能力（即，癌症的一级和二级预防）。观众和目标。培训计划的总体目标是在圣路易斯的华盛顿大学开展第一个此类培训，即癌症传播和实施研究的指导培训。培训计划的受众是博士后学者（博士，医学博士）-主要是职业生涯早期的个人，但也有少数希望从事癌症D&I研究的职业中期学者。该培训计划的目的是：1）开发和完善一套D&I研究的能力和模型课程，包括那些针对癌症差异的D& I研究的能力和模型课程; 2）开展夏季培训计划; 3）进行持续的循证指导; 4）评估所有培训计划的组成部分并跟踪研究员的职业发展;以及5）积极传播方案组成部分，供其他个人和机构采用。 团队，方法和评估。 一个优秀的，多学科的教师团队已经组装，汇集互补的技能和专业知识在D&I研究，指导和培训;癌症差异研究;和癌症预防和控制。这些目标将通过一系列密切协调的活动来实现。在该计划的早期，形成性研究将告知D&I能力。该小组将执行一项征聘计划，以确定一个高质量的研究员人才库。辅导员将接受重点培训，以提高他们的辅导技能。项目评估将依靠定量和定性方法对数据来源进行三角测量，并得出有关培训方案的结论。创新与传播。我们的培训计划是高度创新的，因为它：1）将是第一个专注于癌症预防和控制的D&I研究的项目，2）非常强调指导，3）应用专门针对癌症差异的能力和课程，4）包括一组多样化的合作伙伴，5）将广泛传播，同时专注于癌症，应该适用于许多其他疾病和风险因素。我们将开展几项活动，以确保工具和癌症培训方法是有用的，相关的，并准备在资金结束时广泛传播。选定的传播产品包括癌症、电子（例如，网络）传播计划材料，并将计划结果纳入东道机构正在进行的中心活动。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Background. Much of the cancer burden is preventable, yet there remains a large gap between the evidence known to control cancer and application in community and clinical settings. Over the past decade, the science of dissemination and implementation (D&I) research has emerged to shorten the "translation gap." This R25E education program is uniquely positioned to build capacity in D&I research in cancer prevention and control (i.e., primary and secondary prevention of cancer). Audience and Aims. The overall goal for the training program is to develop the first of its kind, Mentored Training fo Dissemination and Implementation Research in Cancer at Washington University in St. Louis. The audience for the training program is post-doctoral scholars (PhDs, MDs)-primarily individuals in early career but also a smaller number of mid-career scholars who want to pursue D&I research in cancer. The aims of this training program are to: 1) develop and refine a set of competencies and model curriculum in D&I research, including those specific to D&I research on cancer disparities; 2) conduct a summer training program; 3) conduct ongoing, evidence-informed mentoring; 4) evaluate all training program components and track Fellows' career development; and 5) actively disseminate program components for adoption by other individuals and institutions. Team, Methods and Evaluation. An outstanding, multidisciplinary faculty team has been assembled, bringing together complementary skills and expertise in D&I research, mentoring and training; cancer disparities research; and cancer prevention and control. The aims will be accomplished in a series of closely coordinated activities. Early in the program, formative research will inform D&I competencies. The team will implement a recruitment plan to identify a high quality pool of Fellows. Mentors will receive focused training to improve their mentoring skills. The project evaluation will rely on both quantitative and qualitative methods to triangulate data sources and draw conclusions about the training program. Innovations and Dissemination. Our training program is highly innovative because it: 1) will be the first program of its kind focusing on D&I research for cancer prevention and control, 2) places a strong emphasis on mentoring, 3) applies competencies and curriculum specifically focused on cancer disparities, 4) includes a diverse set of partners, and 5) will be disseminated widely and, while focused on cancer, should apply to numerous other diseases and risk factors. We will conduct several activities to ensure that tools and cancer training approaches are useful, relevant, and ready for widespread dissemination when funding ends. Selected dissemination products include a new course in D&I research for cancer, electronic (e.g., the Web) dissemination of program materials, and integration of program findings into ongoing center activities at the host institution.
