 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Given the rising prevalence of obesity, poor diet and physical inactivity, known in combination as "energy balance" or "energetics", as well as their associations of these factors with cancer, innovative research, clinical care and training of scientists are needed to lower the prevalence of these risk factors and in turn, lower cancer incidence and mortality rates. The overall goal of this NCI R25 research education program is to develop, offer, evaluate and eventually disseminate an annual 5-day transdisciplinary research in energetics and cancer (TREC) training course for postdoctoral fellows and early career investigators with the goal of enhancing the ability of course participants to conduct innovative, transdisciplinary research in energetics and cancer research and clinical care. The proposed course builds upon the NCI TREC Initiative, which was a major scientific research effort that occurred from 2005 to 2016, and will cover topics across the cancer control continuum, including prevention, detection, diagnosis, treatment and survivorship. Funding for TREC will cease in 2016, however our goal is to continue to further the TREC mission of training scientists via the proposed 5- day annual TREC course. The proposed R25 TREC Training Course, led by Melinda Irwin, PhD, MPH (TREC Director of Training and Education from 2005-2016), will include a transdisciplinary team of 20 expert faculty members from diverse backgrounds, bringing together complementary skills and expertise in TREC-related research, mentoring and training. Our proposed course is highly innovative in that currently no training opportunity, course, or workshop exists that focuses on energetics and cancer. The annual 5-day course will provide state-of-the-art, evidence-based energetics and cancer education and training. Training new leaders will assist in dissemination and implementation of effective lifestyle strategies for cancer prevention and control, as they will carry out the translational research to lower the risk, mortality, morbidity and costs associated with cancer.

 描述(申请人提供)：鉴于肥胖症、不良饮食和缺乏体力活动(被称为“能量平衡”或“能量学”)及其与癌症的关系日益普遍，需要进行创新研究、临床护理和科学家培训，以降低这些危险因素的流行率，进而降低癌症发病率和死亡率。NCI R25研究教育计划的总体目标是为博士后研究员和职业生涯早期研究人员开发、提供、评估并最终传播为期5天的年度能量与癌症跨学科研究(TREC)培训课程，目的是提高课程参与者在能量学、癌症研究和临床护理方面进行创新的跨学科研究的能力。拟议的课程建立在NCI TREC倡议的基础上，该倡议是2005至2016年间的一项重大科学研究努力，将涵盖癌症控制连续过程中的主题，包括预防、检测、诊断、治疗和生存。对TREC的资助将于2016年停止，但我们的目标是通过拟议的每年5天的TREC课程，继续推进TREC培训科学家的使命。拟议的R25 TREC培训课程将包括一个由来自不同背景的20名专家教员组成的跨学科团队，将在TREC相关的研究、指导和培训方面汇聚互补的技能和专业知识。我们建议的课程具有很高的创新性，因为目前没有培训机会、课程或研讨会专注于能量学和癌症。每年为期5天的课程将提供最先进的、以证据为基础的能量学和癌症教育和培训。培训新的领导者将有助于传播和实施有效的生活方式战略，以预防和控制癌症，因为他们将进行转化研究，以降低风险， 与癌症相关的死亡率、发病率和成本。
