PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This application, the first competing renewal for our T32 program, requests funds to continue to provide multi-disciplinary post-doctoral research training focused on behavioral and psychosocial aspects of cancer prevention and control at the Northwestern University (NU) Feinberg School of Medicine (FSM) and Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center (RHLCCC). The goal of this program is to provide outstanding training for its postdoctoral fellows so that they become successful, independent leaders in cancer research. The program will accomplish this goal by providing each trainee with a mentored research experience in cancer prevention or control. The program’s 24 participating faculty are funded PIs of grants totaling $53 million in direct costs annually, an average of $2.2 million per PI. The group includes 19 PhDs and 5 MDs from 7 departments at Northwestern. All mentors are leading experts in the areas of cancer risk behaviors and screening, measurement and intervention science, patient reported outcomes, or community engagement. By teaching trainees to apply cutting edge measurement and intervention science strategies to the behavioral and psychosocial aspects of cancer prevention and control, we will train a next generation of researchers to reduce cancer risk, address disparities, and improve the lives of community members affected by cancer in a more efficient and more cost-effective fashion. Research experiences will be complemented by a weekly seminar, professional development activities, and the opportunity to enroll in either the MPH, MSCI, MSEB, or HSOR master’s programs. The Program creates an individual development plan (IDP) for each trainee and provides regular oversight by a primary mentor and co-mentor to meet training goals. Trainees also have access to a vast array of educational resources made available by the University for all postdoctoral trainees, including biweekly sessions dedicated to career development, “survival” skills, and learning to succeed and flourish. The program enrolls three new postdoctoral fellows in each of years 1-4, with balanced representation of fellows in cancer prevention and cancer control. We expect to continue to have a large pool of potential trainees of whom a majority have a research background (PhD in a behavioral or social science, exercise science, or nutrition) and a minority have a clinical background (MD intending to pursue a physician/scientist career). External and Internal Advisory Committees will continue to oversee all aspects of the Program. Ongoing evaluation and feedback from the Advisory Committees will ensure that changes are implemented as needed and that training goals are consistently met. The program meets a pressing need to train a next generation of career investigators who can develop, optimize, and evaluate behavioral and psychosocial assessments and interventions to prevent and control cancer and improve quality of life.

项目总结/摘要 这项申请是我们的T32计划的第一个竞争性更新，要求资金继续提供 多学科博士后研究培训，侧重于癌症的行为和心理社会方面 预防和控制在西北大学（NU）范伯格医学院（FSM）和罗伯特H。 Lurie综合癌症中心（RHLCCC）。该计划的目标是提供优秀的培训， 它的博士后研究员，使他们成为成功的，独立的领导人在癌症研究。程序 我将通过为每个受训者提供癌症预防方面的指导性研究经验来实现这一目标 或控制。该项目的24名参与教师获得了总计5300万美元的直接费用资助 每年，每个PI平均220万美元。该小组包括来自7个部门的19名博士和5名医学博士， 西北大学所有导师都是癌症风险行为和筛查领域的领先专家， 测量和干预科学、患者报告的结果或社区参与。通过教 学员将尖端的测量和干预科学策略应用于行为和 癌症预防和控制的心理社会方面，我们将培训下一代研究人员，以减少 癌症风险，解决差距，并改善受癌症影响的社区成员的生活， 更高效、更具成本效益的时尚。研究经验将由每周一次的研讨会补充， 专业发展活动，并有机会参加MPH，MSCI，MSEB或HSOR 硕士课程。该计划为每个学员制定个人发展计划（IDP），并提供 由主要导师和共同导师进行定期监督，以实现培训目标。 学员还可以获得大学提供的大量教育资源， 所有博士后培训生，包括两周一次的职业发展、“生存”技能培训， 学习成功和繁荣。该计划招收三个新的博士后研究员在每年1-4， 癌症预防和癌症控制研究员的均衡代表性。我们希望继续有一个 一大批潜在的受训者，其中大多数具有研究背景（行为或社会学博士学位）。 科学，运动科学或营养学）和少数有临床背景（医学博士打算追求 医生/科学家职业）。外部和内部咨询委员会将继续监督 节目咨询委员会的持续评价和反馈将确保变革得到 根据需要实施，并始终达到培训目标。该计划满足了迫切需要， 培养下一代职业调查员，他们可以开发，优化和评估行为和 心理社会评估和干预措施，以预防和控制癌症，提高生活质量。
