项目总结 这一新的申请提出了一项关于癌症差异和健康公平的研究培训计划 迈阿密大学米勒医学院(MSOM)的癌症控制连续体和 NCI指定的西尔维斯特综合癌症中心(西尔维斯特)。南佛罗里达癌症控制中心 差异和公平培训(南佛罗里达C-TEDE)是一项跨学科计划，目标是 癌症病因、预防、风险、风险的多层次决定因素(例如，生物、医学、社会、心理) 进展、调整、与健康相关的生活质量(HRQOL)以及其他健康和患者报告 结果(优点)。主要目标是发展下一代癌症差异研究人员 通过提供特殊的培训来支持整个癌症控制过程中的博士后研究员 在癌症健康差异和公平性方面开展独立、成功、高影响的研究。二 将提供培训课程：课程A：癌症病因、风险和癌症差异的多水平决定因素 成果；和轨道B：创新干预措施，以减少差距和改善整个国家的成果 癌症连续体。受训者将选择一个主要的重点；尽管培训将跨越这两个方面 域名。该计划的目标是通过在MSOM中进行指导、授课和体验曝光来实现的， 西尔维斯特和中心的集水区。该计划将得到24名主要导师的支持，他们是 通过每年总计1640万美元的癌症相关资金资助个人投资机构。导师包括15名博士，6名 医学博士学位，以及8个部门的4名医学博士/博士。此外，13名主要是具有相关专业知识的初级教员将 担任助理导师。总的来说，导师在癌症表观遗传学方面拥有杰出的专业知识， 肿瘤生物学和生物行为机制；社会文化、行为和心理社会 健康的决定因素；基于社区的筛查、改变生活方式和症状管理， 以及生存干预。培训(例如，教学、研讨会、在线模块)与 需要获得的能力(例如，癌症差异的社会决定因素、干预科学、拨款申请) 并利用西尔维斯特和MSOM接触特定小组(例如，职业、性/性别)的机会 身份、种族/族裔、老年人)和应用方法方面的专门知识(例如，基于社区的参与性 研究、社会流行病学、表观遗传学、心理社会肿瘤学、电子健康、社会文化进程)。培训 与之相辅相成的是注册公共卫生硕士(MPH)或临床科学硕士 翻译调查(MSCTI)。C-TIDE每年将资助3名研究员，总共15名。大多数申请者 预期拥有相关行为科学或社会科学的博士学位；有些人将是具有相关知识的医学博士 专业知识和兴趣。将为学员创建个人发展计划(IDP)，以促进监督 被导师们。内部、外部和执行理事会、多样性和包容性以及仲裁委员会 将提供持续的评估和反馈，以确保有效地实现C-TEDE的目标。

PROJECT SUMMARY This new application proposes a research training program in cancer disparities and health equity across the cancer control continuum at the University of Miami (UM) Miller School of Medicine (MSOM) and the NCI-designated Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center (Sylvester). The South Florida Cancer Control Training in Disparities and Equity (South Florida C-TIDE) is interdisciplinary program that targets training in multilevel determinants (e.g., biological, medical, social, psychosocial) of cancer etiology, prevention, risk, progression, adjustment, health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and other health- and patient-reported outcomes (PROs). The primary goal is to develop the next generation of cancer disparities researchers by providing exceptional training to support postdoctoral fellows across the cancer control continuum to develop independent, successful, high-impact research in cancer health disparities and equity. Two training tracks will be offered: Track A: Multilevel determinants of cancer disparities in etiology, risk, and outcomes; and Track B: Innovative interventions to reduce disparities and improve outcomes across the cancer continuum. Trainees will select a primary track of emphasis; although, training will cut across both domains. The program goals are achieved via mentored, didactic, and experiential exposures within MSOM, Sylvester and the center’s catchment area. The program will be supported by 24 primary mentors who are funded PIs with grants totaling $16.4M in annual cancer-relevant funding. Mentors include 15 PhDs, 6 MDs, and 4 MD/PhDs across 8 departments. Additionally, 13 mostly junior faculty with relevant expertise will serve as associate mentors. Collectively, mentors have outstanding expertise in cancer epigenetics, tumor biology, and biobehavioral mechanisms; sociocultural, behavioral, and psychosocial determinants of health; community-based screening, lifestyle modification and symptom management, and survivorship interventions. Training (e.g., didactics, seminars, online modules) aligns with the competencies to be gained (e.g., social determinants of cancer disparities, intervention science, grant writing) and capitalizes on Sylvester and MSOM’s access to specific subgroups (e.g., occupational, sexual/gender identity, race/ethnicity, elderly) and expertise in applied methods (e.g., community-based participatory research, social epidemiology, epigenetics, psychosocial oncology, eHealth, sociocultural processes). Training is complemented by enrollment in the Master of Public Health (MPH) or Master of Science in Clinical and Translational Investigation (MSCTI). C-TIDE will support 3 fellows per year for a total of 15. Most applicants are expected to have a PhD in a relevant behavioral or social science; some will be MDs with relevant expertise and interests. Individual development plans (IDPs) will be created for trainees to facilitate oversight by mentors. Internal, External and Executive Boards, and Diversity and Inclusion, and Arbitration committees will provide ongoing evaluation and feedback to ensure that the goals of C-TIDE are effectively met.
