PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Yale Cancer Prevention and Control (CPC) Training Program requests five years of support for an innovative, multi-disciplinary and translational training program at the Yale School of Public Health (YSPH) and Yale Cancer Center (YCC). Currently, Yale only has one T32 training grant in cancer research, and it focuses on cancer biology training for basic scientists. Given the long history of successful CPC research and training by Yale faculty, and a critical need to train outstanding CPC scientists to advance our fight against cancer, we are excited to re-establish a CPC Training Program at Yale. Our Yale CPC Training Program will leverage strength from a Pre-Doctoral Program within YSPH, and a Post-Doctoral Program within YCC that draws from many disciplines but is administratively housed within YSPH. The Yale Cancer Prevention and Control (CPC) Training Program aims to educate, train and mentor pre- and post-doctoral fellows in five thematic areas critical to CPC: cancer etiology, cancer outcomes, lifestyle behavioral interventions, implementation science and community-engaged research. These five areas were selected because they are critical domains in the spectrum of CPC research, they leverage strengths of our faculty, and they will ensure that T32 trainees with diverse interests will achieve pivotal growth through the program and become leaders in novel, impactful CPC research. Fellows will also directly participate and interact with the seven YCC Research Programs and 14 YCC Disease-Aligned Research Teams, which are composed of scientists and clinicians conducting cancer research and delivering cancer care. Fellows will work with 22 Yale CPC Training Program Primary Faculty members, who collectively have expertise in our five thematic areas. The Primary Faculty members come from 13 different departments across Yale, and have trained 50 pre-doctoral and 126 post-doctoral fellows over the last ten years, with a strong majority working in cancer-related careers. The 22 Primary Faculty currently have more than a combined $25M of research funds. Our training program will include a comprehensive mentoring program, participation in active CPC research internships/rotations through the five thematic areas, a structured CPC Fellows Seminar Course, and additional integration with resources from Yale. Our program will select the most highly qualified and diverse candidates who wish to pursue a career in cancer prevention and control, and numerous procedures have been put in place to ensure the recruitment, quality mentorship, and retention of under-represented minority fellows. At the conclusion of their training, it is our goal that individuals supported by this T32 will have developed the knowledge and skills necessary to function independently, and that they will develop and carry out innovative, impactful studies filling key gaps in CPC research, potentially changing the standard of care and impacting policy. Ultimately, public health will benefit through the preparation of an exceptional cadre of investigators committed to careers in cancer prevention and control.

项目总结/摘要 耶鲁大学癌症预防和控制（CPC）培训计划要求五年的支持， 耶鲁大学公共卫生学院（YSPH）的创新，多学科和翻译培训计划， 耶鲁大学癌症中心（YCC）。目前，耶鲁大学在癌症研究方面只有一个T32培训补助金， 癌症生物学基础科学家的培训。鉴于中国共产党长期以来成功的研究和培训， 耶鲁大学的教师，以及迫切需要培养优秀的CPC科学家，以推动我们与癌症的斗争，我们 很高兴能在耶鲁大学重新建立一个CPC培训项目。我们的耶鲁CPC培训计划将利用 来自YSPH内的博士预科课程的优势，以及YCC内的博士后课程， 许多学科，但在行政上设在YSPH。耶鲁大学癌症预防与控制（CPC） 培训计划旨在教育，培训和指导五个主题领域的博士前和博士后研究员 CPC的关键：癌症病因学，癌症结局，生活方式行为干预，实施科学 和社区参与的研究。之所以选择这五个领域，是因为它们是 CPC研究的频谱，他们利用我们的教师的优势，他们将确保T32学员与 不同的利益将通过该计划实现关键增长，并成为新颖，有影响力的CPC的领导者 research.研究员还将直接参与并与YCC的七个研究项目和14个 YCC疾病对齐研究团队，由从事癌症研究的科学家和临床医生组成 研究和提供癌症护理。研究员将与22个耶鲁大学CPC培训计划主要教师合作 成员，他们共同拥有我们五个专题领域的专门知识。主要教师来自 耶鲁大学有13个不同的系，在2005年培养了50名博士前和126名博士后研究员。 在过去的十年里，绝大多数人从事与癌症有关的职业。目前，22所小学已 超过2500万美元的研究资金。我们的培训计划将包括全面的指导 计划，通过五个主题领域，a参与积极的CPC研究实习/轮换 结构化的CPC研究员研讨会课程，并与耶鲁大学的资源进行了额外的整合。我们的计划将 选择最高素质和多样化的候选人谁希望追求职业生涯中的癌症预防， 控制和许多程序已经到位，以确保招聘，质量指导， 保留代表性不足的少数族裔研究员。在培训结束时，我们的目标是， 在此T32的支持下，将开发独立运作所需的知识和技能， 他们将开发和开展创新的、有影响力的研究，填补CPC研究的关键空白， 改变护理标准并影响政策。最终，公共卫生将受益于 培养一支致力于癌症预防和控制事业的优秀研究人员队伍。
