Career Enhancement Core

项目摘要-职业提升核心 职业提升核心(CEC)的目标是促进计划 从事烟草监管科学(TRS)领域。CEC将监督6名员工的职业发展 现有早期教师(其中一些是项目联合负责人)，2名新教师(资金来源 除了研究生和本科生外，还有8-10名博士后研究员。俄亥俄州立大学 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名职业早期教师(2 其中获得了NIH职业发展奖)和7名博士后研究员，其中5人是教员 从事TRS研究的职位或专注于TRS的研究/政策职位。我们的调查人员已经 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 从TCORS-I开始也是如此。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“翻转剧本”范围内提出并实施试点项目：使用行业的 尼古丁攻略最大限度地促进公共健康。研究和培训经验将植根于TRS 为受训人员提供从事尼古丁影响科学的机会的能力 (来源/异构体、形式、浓度)尼古丁和烟草产品的吸引力、成瘾性和毒性。 具体目标是：1)制定关于TRS的结构化的、注重健康公平的培训方案，其中包括 讲课、阅读、期刊俱乐部和研讨会；2)为早期职业教师提供这种有组织的培训计划 和博士后研究员参与OSU-TCORS项目，接受赠款编写和补充培训 参与专业发展活动；3)为研究生和本科生提供机会 学生参与OSU-TCORS研究项目、专业发展和特殊计划 计划；4)对中心进行持续的过程评估和年度结果评估，并提供 向首席调查员、执行委员会以及外部和内部咨询委员会提供反馈； 以及，5)监督针对受训人员的OSU-TCORS研究先导研究计划，这将允许 为将来的赠款申请完成初步研究。CEC将由艾米·费尔凯蒂奇博士领导 以及达伦·梅斯，他们有领导培训和教育项目的经验。他们将监督 制定和实施培训计划、暑期本科生研究计划、 研究先导研究计划，以及CEC活动的评估。培养下一代研究人员 对于TRS和FDA CTP任务的成功至关重要。OSU-TCORS CEC提出了一种高度 综合和多样化的研究活动，强调健康公平，并有良好的记录 在TRS中担任导师。

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.
