 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a renewal of an Established Investigator award for Dr. Polly Newcomb to dedicate 30% effort to training and research in colorectal cancer survivorship. She is an experienced cancer prevention and control investigator with a long and successful record of continuous NIH-funding, with nearly $40 M in direct awards to her as Principal Investigator. An effective mentor, she has worked with over 40 young scientists on their way to independent careers in cancer prevention and control. This K05 has allowed her to focus her career on the epidemiology and genetics of colon cancer survival. With support of the K05 she has obtained additional skills, had 4 R01 proposals funded as PI, and worked with 24 outstanding junior investigators to author ~70 study reports focused on cancer survivorship. The epidemiology of cancer survival continues to be an essential area, as the population of cancer survivors is rapidly growing because of screening and treatment successes; today more than 14 million U.S. individuals have a history of cancer. Therefore, identifying approaches to improve survival in colorectal cancer patients is a high priority for patients, clinicians, and caregivers. Colorectal cancer is a complex disease caused by the joint action of environmental, behavioral, and genetic factors; longevity after diagnosis too must reflect these joint effects. The research goals of this K05 awards are to: 1) Further develop and actively participate in the newly emerging International Survival Analysis of Colorectal Cancer Consortium (ISACC) that currently includes 23 studies and nearly 27,000 colorectal cancers, in order to initiate research projects with Consortium investigators and mentees to leverage the diverse and well-annotated populations and biospecimens collected by the participating studies; 2) Test whether the colon tumor genome, as defined by BRAF mutation, KRAS mutation, CpG Island Methylator Phenotype (CIMP), and microsatellite instability (MSI) status, is associated with colorectal cancer survival, and assess whether this association is modified by epidemiologic factors or common germline genetic variants; and 3) Develop and validate a prognostic model for survival utilizing the tumor genome, epidemiologic factors, and germline genetic variants. Cancer survivorship is a challenging area of prevention research with unique methods for analyses and controlling bias, making mentorship of junior investigators key to the successful production of significant and impactful research results. There is an outstanding pool of pre- and post-doctoral trainees from the University of Washington, with mentee funding available from 4 training grants with which Dr. Newcomb serves as a mentor and/or on the Executive Committee. Dr. Newcomb regularly meets with trainees individually, and weekly as a group, to develop expertise in study conduct, analyses, manuscript preparation, grant writing, and the responsible conduct of research. The renewal of the K05 award will be an invaluable mechanism to better understand the factors that can enhance cancer survival, and in doing so, develop junior researchers highly skilled in cancer control.

 描述（由申请人提供）：这是对 Polly Newcomb 博士的知名研究者奖的续签，旨在将 30% 的精力用于结直肠癌生存的培训和研究。她是一位经验丰富的癌症预防和控制研究人员，拥有 NIH 持续资助的长期成功记录，作为首席研究员，她获得了近 4000 万美元的直接资助。她是一位卓有成效的导师，曾与 40 多名年轻科学家合作，帮助他们走向癌症预防和控制领域的独立职业生涯。 K05 使她能够将自己的职业生涯集中在结肠癌生存的流行病学和遗传学方面。在 K05 的支持下，她获得了额外的技能，作为 PI 资助了 4 项 R01 提案，并与 24 名杰出的初级研究人员合作，撰写了约 70 份专注于癌症生存的研究报告。癌症生存的流行病学仍然是一个重要领域，因为由于筛查和治疗的成功，癌症幸存者的人数正在迅速增长；如今，超过 1400 万美国人有癌症病史。因此，确定提高结直肠癌患者生存率的方法是患者、临床医生和护理人员的首要任务。 结直肠癌是一种由环境、行为和遗传因素共同作用引起的复杂疾病；诊断后的寿命也必须反映这些联合效应。 K05 奖项的研究目标是： 1) 进一步发展并积极参与新兴的国际结直肠癌生存分析联盟 (ISACC)，该联盟目前包括 23 项研究和近 27,000 例结直肠癌，以便与联盟研究人员和学员一起启动研究项目，以利用参与研究收集的多样化且注释良好的人群和生物样本； 2) 测试结肠肿瘤基因组（由 BRAF 突变、KRAS 突变、CpG 岛甲基化表型 (CIMP) 和微卫星不稳定性 (MSI) 状态定义）是否与结直肠癌生存相关，并评估这种关联是否受到流行病学因素或常见种系遗传变异的影响； 3) 利用肿瘤基因组、流行病学因素和种系遗传变异开发并验证生存预后模型。癌症生存是预防研究中一个具有挑战性的领域，具有独特的分析和控制偏差方法，这使得对初级研究人员的指导对于成功产生重要且有影响力的研究结果至关重要。华盛顿大学拥有一批优秀的博士前和博士后实习生，并通过 4 项培训补助金提供学员资助，纽科姆博士在其中担任导师和/或执行委员会成员。纽科姆博士定期与受训者单独会面，每周以小组形式与受训者会面，以培养研究行为、分析、手稿准备、资助写作和负责任的研究行为方面的专业知识。 K05 奖的更新将成为一个宝贵的机制，可以更好地了解可以提高癌症生存率的因素，并在此过程中培养癌症控制方面高技能的初级研究人员。
