Cancer Control Research Training Curriculum (R25T)

描述（由申请人提供）：癌症控制研究培训课程（CCRTC）将提供医学博士和博士学位。博士后学员的工具和经验，建立职业生涯作为杰出的独立调查员在癌症控制和预防研究，并成功地竞争研究经费。 CCRTC专业核心课程是一个为期两年的计划，围绕癌症控制研究的三个广泛领域组织，其中来自9个医疗中心部门的15名癌症控制导师共享一个共同的研究重点，并经常合作，除了他们个人的RO-1赠款外，还资助了由赞助商发起的研究。 每个三个初始学员（和两个/年，此后）将采取必要的讲座，核心课程，并在研究重点领域研讨会：以患者为导向的研究，生物统计学和信息学研究和健康结果研究。 完成后将导致要么公共卫生硕士学位与临床调查专业化或科学学位与医学统计专业化的硕士学位。 一系列协调的特别研讨会，讲习班和其他必要的教学经验，如短期休假和网络机会，将扩大每个受训者的培训和教育，并解决他们，主要研究者和CCRTC咨询委员会确定的具体研究和专业需求。 每位学员将由两名罗切斯特大学的导师指导，他们具有癌症控制方面的专业知识，以及第三名积极参与NCI支持的多中心研究的非现场导师。 通过利用每个导师的同行评审资金以及PI指导的NCI资助的社区临床肿瘤学计划研究基地提供的机会，学员将有机会在当地和/或多个机构参与跨学科指导的研究项目。 候选人将在全国范围内招募为期两年的计划，使用一系列的方法来吸引高素质的科学家致力于癌症控制临床研究的职业生涯。 一个严格的评估计划将密切跟踪每个学员的表现，并评估该计划在为癌症控制干预研究的职业生涯做好准备方面的成功。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Cancer Control Research Training Curriculum (CCRTC) will provide MD and Ph.D. post doctoral trainees with the tools and experience to establish careers as outstanding independent investigators in cancer control and prevention research and to compete successfully for research funding. The CCRTC specialized core curriculum is a two year program organized around three broad areas of cancer control research where fifteen cancer control mentors from nine medical center departments share a common research focus and often collaborate on investigator-initiated, funded research in addition to their individual RO-1 grants. Each of three initial trainees (and two/yr, thereafter) will take required lectures, core courses, and seminars in research focus areas of: Patient-Oriented Research, Biostatistics and Informatics Research and Health Outcomes Research. Completion will lead to either a Master of Public Health degree with a specialization in Clinical Investigation or a Master of Science degree with a specialization in Medical Statistics. A coordinated Series of special seminars, workshops and other required didactic experiences such as mini-sabbaticals and networking opportunities will extend the training and education of each trainee and address their specific research and professional needs as determined by them, the Principal Investigator and the CCRTC Advisory Committee. Each trainee will be guided by two University of Rochester based mentors with expertise in Cancer Control as well as a third off-site mentor actively involved in NCI supported multicenter studies. By taking advantage of opportunities provided by the peer-reviewed funding of each mentor as well as the NCI-funded Community Clinical Oncology Program Research Base directed by the PI, trainees will have the opportunity to engage in transdisciplinary mentored research projects locally and/or in multiple institutions. Candidates will be recruited nationwide for the two-year program using an array of approaches to attract highly qualified scientists committed to careers in cancer control clinical investigation. A rigorous evaluation plan will closely track the performance of each trainee and assess the program's success in preparing its graduates for careers in cancer control intervention research.
