Research and Training for Behavioral Oncology Interventions

描述(由申请人提供)：本提案的目标是为正在追求行为肿瘤学研究事业的导师提供支持。作为他们培训过程的一部分，他们将参与我正在进行的研究。虽然我的资助研究有工资支持，但我没有专门的发布时间来指导。我有近30年的同行评议融资经验。然而，我坚信，在我职业生涯的这个时候，我的指导活动应该与我的研究工作成正比，并允许我让所有的被辅导者参与我正在进行的研究和奖学金。我目前的研究重点是癌症的二级预防以及生存方面的持续研究奖学金。通过增加癌症的预防和筛查行为，可以大大降低癌症的发病率和死亡率。此外，对于那些被诊断患有癌症的人来说，由疾病和治疗引起的症状持续一生，需要研究来确定并进行干预，以便我们的癌症幸存者及其家人能够处理这些症状并享受更好的生活质量。我们需要来自中级和高级教员的研究，并将新的受训者纳入正在进行的研究中，以促进建立知识并将这些知识转化为实践。尽管在过去的二十年里，在早期发现乳腺癌和结肠癌方面取得了巨大的进步，但仍有很多工作要做。我目前的研究测试了一种量身定制的互动干预措施，以增加不遵守这些筛查的女性的乳腺癌和结肠癌。未来的研究将在目前研究的基础上，将宫颈癌筛查添加到乳腺癌和结直肠癌筛查中。今天的卫生保健提供者在治疗急慢性疾病的同时，面临着鼓励预防性护理和早期发现行为的挑战。尽管预防性护理必须与个人的健康护理档案相联系，但在通常针对医疗问题的临床就诊期间，可以处理增加筛查的干预措施，而不需要花费额外的时间。此应用程序的目的是通过将新的行为肿瘤学研究人员(包括博士后、博士后和初级教职员工)整合到我的研究计划中来获得专门的支持，这些研究计划嵌入了印第安纳大学丰富的资源中。通过参与我资助的研究，学员将能够获得有关行为肿瘤学研究试验的知识。随着我继续开发新的提案来推进我的研究计划，他们也将参与进来。总而言之，我正处于我职业生涯的最佳时机，利用这个机会，让更多的被辅导者参与到积极和持续的研究项目中来。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this proposal is to provide support for mentoring fellows that are pursing research careers in behavioral oncology. As part of their training process, they will be involved in my ongoing research. Although I have salary support for my funded research, I do not have dedicated release time for mentoring. I have almost 30 years of peer reviewed funding experience. However, I strongly believe that at this time in my career, my mentoring activities should be proportional to my research work and allow me to involve all mentees in my ongoing research and scholarship. My current research focus is secondary prevention of cancer as well as continuing research scholarship in survivorship. Cancer morbidity and mortality could be greatly reduced by increasing cancer prevention and screening behaviors. Additionally, for those diagnosed with cancer, symptoms caused by the disease and treatment last a lifetime requiring research to identify and intervene so that our cancer survivors and their families can deal with symptoms and enjoy better quality of life. We need both research from mid-level and senior faculty with inclusion of new mentees into ongoing research to facilitate building knowledge and translating this knowledge into practice. Although the last two decades have shown tremendous improvement in finding both breast and colon cancer early, much work remains. My current research tests a tailored interactive intervention to increase breast and colon cancer in women non-adherent to these screenings. Future research will build on the current research by adding cervical cancer screening to breast and colorectal screening. Today's health care providers are challenged to encourage preventive care and early detection behaviors at the same time they are treating acute and chronic illnesses. Although preventive care must be linked to the individual's health care profile, Interventions to increase screening can be handled without taking additional time during clinical visits that are usually directed toward medical issues. The purpose of this application is to obtai dedicated support for mentoring new behavioral oncology investigators including pre and post-doctoral and junior faculty by integrating them into my research program that is embedded within the rich resources available at Indiana University. Mentees will be able to acquire knowledge about behavioral oncology research trials by participating in my funded research. They will also be involved as I continue to develop new proposals to further my research program. In summary, I am at the perfect time in my career to take advantage of this opportunity for increasing the involvement of mentees into active and ongoing programs of research.
