Our R25T Training Program in Cancer-related Population Sciences, a joint effort of Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health and Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center (HICCC), is now completing its 14th year and will not be eligible for renewal; thus, we submit this competitive renewal for an equivalent T32 grant. Funded continuously since 1985 by NCI T32 and R25T grants, we have provided multidisciplinary training to 45 predoctoral and 70 postdoctoral trainees. Most of them have developed successful academic careers, and many are now leaders in cancer epidemiology, biostatistics, carcinogenesis, survivorship and health outcomes research nationally. Since 2002, our R25T program has had 30 trainees. In its current cycle (2012-2017), it hosts 4 postdoctoral research fellows annually across 3 public health disciplines, supported by 19 R01-funded primary mentors and 24 secondary mentors. The average NIH grant portfolio of our primary mentors is $1.9 million/year. Past R25 trainees have published a mean of 8.75 papers with a mean of 3.5 first authored, and 20 out of 22 trainees from the last 10 years remain in research. We also have an outstanding applicant pool; 73% of applicants are training grant eligible; 18% selectivity; and 20% of trainees from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups. This competitive renewal reports on new leadership at Mailman, the participating departments, and the NCI-funded HICCC, all of whom are deeply committed to ensuring the longstanding success of our Training Program and our fellows. Mailman provides salary support for the two PIs and part- time administrative assistant as well as space and support for the trainees. Our location in northern Manhattan, including Washington Heights and Harlem with their large underserved minority populations, and our close relationships with the New York City Department of Health, made us early leaders in disparities research, and our trainees benefit tremendously from those resources. In addition, our large portfolio of international collaborative projects, together with our catchment area studies, provides our fellows with a global perspective on cancer and the changing dynamics of the cancer epidemic, which is best understood through contrasts in study populations and exposures. Our leadership in health outcomes research and survivorship, as well as the emerging field of cancer care delivery research (CCDR) has gained us a large number of fellows in medical, pediatric, surgical and gynecologic oncology as trainees. We offer training modules in study design, clinical, behavioral, laboratory, health services, and data analysis. Our program also includes weekly journal clubs, biweekly seminars, a formal evaluation protocol, and mock study sections. We regularly interact with our External Advisory Board and invite them to visit annually to meet our fellows and hear about their research. A collaboration of epidemiology, biostatistics, and environmental health sciences, including clinical and laboratory training opportunities, our program offers a superb multidisciplinary, multidimensional milieu in which trainees can develop their research skills and find their own niches.

我们的 R25T 癌症相关人口科学培训计划，由哥伦比亚大学 Mailman 共同努力 公共卫生学院和赫伯特·欧文综合癌症中心 (HICCC) 现已完成第 14 届 年，并且没有资格续订；因此，我们提交此竞争性更新以获得同等的 T32 补助金。 自 1985 年以来，我们一直受到 NCI T32 和 R25T 拨款的资助，为 博士前45名，博士后70名。他们中的大多数人都取得了成功的学术生涯，并且 许多人现在是癌症流行病学、生物统计学、致癌作用、生存和健康结果领域的领导者 研究全国。自2002年以来，我们的R25T项目已有30名学员。在当前周期（2012-2017）中， 每年接待 3 个公共卫生学科的 4 名博士后研究员，由 19 R01 资助 初级导师和24位二级导师。我们的主要导师的平均 NIH 资助组合为 1.9 美元 百万/年。过去的 R25 学员平均发表了 8.75 篇论文，其中平均有 3.5 篇是第一作者，并且 过去 10 年的 22 名学员中有 20 人仍在研究中。我们还拥有优秀的申请人库； 73%的申请人符合培训补助金资格； 18%选择性； 20% 的学员来自代表性不足的国家 种族/族裔群体。这份竞争性的更新报告了 Mailman 的新领导层，参与的 部门和 NCI 资助的 HICCC，所有这些机构都坚定致力于确保长期 我们的培训计划和我们的同事取得了成功。 Mailman为两位PI和part-提供薪资支持 时间行政助理以及为学员提供的空间和支持。我们的位置在北部 曼哈顿，包括华盛顿高地和哈莱姆区，那里有大量服务不足的少数族裔人口，以及 我们与纽约市卫生部的密切关系使我们成为解决不平等问题的早期领导者 研究，我们的学员从这些资源中受益匪浅。此外，我们庞大的产品组合 国际合作项目以及我们的流域研究为我们的研究员提供了全球 对癌症和癌症流行动态变化的看法，最好的理解是 研究人群和暴露情况的对比。我们在健康结果研究和生存方面的领导地位， 以及新兴的癌症护理研究（CCDR）领域为我们赢得了大量的研究员 作为实习生，从事内科、儿科、外科和妇科肿瘤学工作。我们提供学习培训模块 设计、临床、行为、实验室、健康服务和数据分析。我们的计划还包括每周 期刊俱乐部、每两周一次的研讨会、正式的评估协议和模拟学习部分。我们经常互动 与我们的外部顾问委员会联系，并邀请他们每年来拜访我们的研究员并了解他们的情况 研究。流行病学、生物统计学和环境健康科学（包括临床）的合作 和实验室培训机会，我们的项目提供了一流的多学科、多维环境 哪些学员可以发展他们的研究技能并找到自己的定位。
