Career Enhancement Core

项目概要-职业发展核心 职业提升核心（CEC）的目标是促进研究人员的发展， 从事烟草监管科学（TRS）领域。委员会将监督6名 目前的早期职业教师（其中一些是项目共同领导人），2名新教师（由 机构支持），以及8-10名博士后研究员，此外还有研究生和本科生。俄勒冈州立大学- TCORS在职业发展方面有着良好的记录。在TCORS-I期间，我们培训了4名早期职业教师（2 其中获得了NIH职业发展奖）和7名博士后研究员，其中5名是教师 从事TRS研究或专注于TRS的研究/政策职位。我们的调查人员 在TRS培训了许多其他早期职业教师，博士后研究员，研究生和本科生 我也是OSU-TCORS早期职业教师，博士后研究员和学生将拥有 有机会在丰富的研究环境中工作，有经验丰富的导师和强大的指导和职业生涯 增强基础设施。他们将在项目中进行研究，并有机会 在我们的综合主题“翻转脚本”中提出并开展试点项目：利用行业的 尼古丁剧本，以最大限度地提高公共健康。研究和培训经验将以TRS为基础 能力，为学员提供参与尼古丁影响的科学研究的机会 （来源/异构体、形式、浓度）对尼古丁和烟草产品的吸引力、成瘾性和毒性的影响。 具体目标是：1）制定一个结构化的、以健康公平为重点的TRS培训方案，其中包括 讲座，阅读，期刊俱乐部和研讨会; 2）向早期职业教师提供这种结构化的培训计划 参与OSU-TCORS项目的博士后研究员，在撰写赠款方面接受补充培训， 接触专业发展活动; 3）为研究生和本科生提供机会 学生参加OSU-TCORS研究项目，专业发展和特别计划 4）对中心进行持续的过程评估和年度成果评估， 向主要调查员、执行委员会以及外部和内部咨询委员会提供反馈; 以及，5）监督OSU-TCORS研究试点研究计划，针对受训人员，这将允许 完成未来补助金申请的初步研究。CEC将由Amy Ferketich博士领导 和达伦梅斯，谁拥有领导培训和教育项目的经验。他们将监督 开发和实施培训计划，夏季本科研究计划， 研究试点研究计划，并评估CEC的活动。培养下一代研究人员 对于TRS和FDA CTP使命的成功至关重要。OSU-TCORS CEC提出了一个高度 研究活动的综合和多样化的标准电子格式，强调健康公平，并在以下方面有良好的记录： 在TRS指导。

PROJECT SUMMARY - CAREER ENHANCEMENT CORE The goal of the Career Enhancement Core (CEC) is to foster the development of researchers planning to engage in the field of tobacco regulatory science (TRS). The CEC will oversee the career development of 6 current early-career faculty (some of whom are Project co-Leaders), 2 new faculty recruits (funded with institutional support), and 8-10 postdoctoral fellows, in addition to graduate and undergraduate students. OSU- TCORS has a strong track record of career enhancement. During TCORS-I, we trained 4 early-career faculty (2 of whom received an NIH career development award) and 7 postdoctoral fellows, 5 of whom are in faculty positions conducting TRS research or in research/policy positions focused on TRS. Our investigators have trained numerous other early-career faculty, post-doctoral fellows, graduate, and undergraduate students in TRS since TCORS-I as well. The OSU-TCORS early-career faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and students will have the opportunity to work in a rich research environment with experienced mentors and robust mentoring and career enhancement infrastructure. They will conduct their research within the projects and have opportunities to propose and conduct pilot projects within our Integrative Theme “Flipping the Script”: Using the Industry's Nicotine Playbook to Maximize Public Health. Research and training experiences will be anchored in TRS competencies to provide trainees with opportunities to engage in science on the impact of nicotine dimensions (source/isomer, form, concentration) on the appeal, addictiveness, and toxicity of nicotine and tobacco products. The Specific Aims are to: 1) develop a structured, health-equity focused training program on TRS that includes lectures, readings, journal clubs, and seminars; 2) deliver this structured training program to early career faculty and postdoctoral fellows engaged in OSU-TCORS projects, with complementary training in grant writing and exposure to professional development activities; 3) provide opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students to participate in OSU-TCORS research projects, professional development, and special program initiatives; 4) conduct continuous process evaluation and annual outcome evaluation of the center and provide feedback to Principal Investigators, the Executive Committee and the External and Internal Advisory Boards; and, 5) oversee the OSU-TCORS research pilot studies program, directed to the trainees, which will allow for the completion of preliminary studies for future grant applications. The CEC will be led by Drs. Amy Ferketich and Darren Mays, who have experience leading training and educational programs. They will oversee the development and implementation of the training program, the summer undergraduate research program, the research pilot studies program, and the evaluation of CEC activities. Training the next generation of researchers is critical to the success of the TRS and the FDA CTP mission. The OSU-TCORS CEC proposes a highly integrated and diverse sef of research activities, with a health-equity emphasis, and has a strong track record of mentorship in TRS.
