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）之间的一项持续的跨学科倡议，旨在创建一个以能力为基础的多学科烟草监管科学中心，该中心将利用全国最大的公立大学之一的基础设施、课程和教师，该大学在培养下一代临床和基础科学家方面享有卓越声誉。通过与乔治华盛顿大学（GWU）建立伙伴关系，带来烟草应用政策和法规方面的专业知识，将这种培训扩展到国家首都，我们的tcs培训能力和覆盖面得到了显著提高。我们提出了一个范围全面的培训计划；该项目旨在培养博士预科生、博士后、初级教师和专业人员，采用循序渐进的个性化项目，包括在线世界校园选项和PSU的现场传统课堂设置，以及GWU的二级站点。我们的培训模式的基础是其以专业为重点的教育和研究，范围从成瘾的生物行为模型，与烟草制品使用相关的药理学和分子生物标志物，烟草相关危害和政策的公共卫生模型，到烟草控制干预，传播科学和社区参与。我们的课程包括四个基本组成部分：1)烟草管理科学、研究、政策和伦理方面的课程；2)职业发展，充分利用学院和学校的关系、资源和经验；3)个人指导的研究或培训项目；4)一个连接PSU校园（好时和大学公园）的在线世界校园，并向所有tors网站开放。在五年的tors奖励期内，我们将在PSU培训4名博士预科生（实习生），4名博士后研究员/初级教师（学者），并在04年和05年将我们的培训计划扩展到其他tors站点和我们的GWU合作站点，培训科学家和工作专业人员。

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.
