TRANSDISCIPLINARY CANCER CONTROL RESEARCH TRAINING GRANT

这项癌症教育基金（CEG）的目的是培养下一代科学家，使他们成为在癌症预防、控制和人口科学方面非常成功的、独立资助的跨学科NIH研究人员。重点是在传统院系结构（如医学、精神病学/心理学、公共卫生）内完成博士后奖学金后的前三年早期研究职业发展。因此，在完成该项目后，候选人将在4到6年的研究生阶段，并在NCI的癌症预防和癌症控制审查小组报告（1997）中被设计为“非凡”机会的领域获得NCI的资助。具体来说，它将侧重于来自不同学科的初级和中级导师的指导，以及与正在进行的癌症研究项目相结合的高度个性化的培训计划。将制定和完善癌症预防、控制和人口科学跨学科研究课程，在共同培训和个人指导机会之间取得平衡。该CEG利用了布朗大学三个主要项目的独特优势和合作：(a)行为和预防医学中心，包括体重控制和糖尿病研究中心和精神病学；公共卫生方案，包括老年学和卫生保健研究中心和统计科学中心；(c)布朗大学肿瘤小组以及与布朗癌症中心相关的校园癌症生物学研究。CEG旨在通过NCI研究的五个阶段（基础阶段、临床前阶段、临床阶段、传播阶段和政策形成阶段），促进对烟草成瘾、饮食、身体活动和其他行为/社会心理因素在癌症预防和控制中的重要性的理解。CEG每年将招收一名博士和一名医学博士候选人，为期四年。拟议的研究培训计划将包括三个组成部分：1)监督参与已建立的研究团队的正在进行的工作，一个由主要导师领导，另一个由来自其他学科的次要导师领导；2)参加布朗大学公共卫生、行为医学和癌症生物学的硕士或公共卫生硕士项目和/或课程；3)参与行为医学的创新研究，重点是跨学科的癌症预防和控制研究。这个项目受益于热情和忠诚的教师的参与。布朗大学在博士前和博士后（如T-32）水平的跨学科研究和培训方面有着悠久的历史。CEG将弥合学科之间的差距，并提供额外三年的早期职业支持和指导，以确保nci资助的研究生涯取得成功。

The aim of this Cancer Education Grant (CEG) is to train the next generation of scientists to become highly successful, independently funded transdisciplinary NIH researchers in cancer prevention, control and population sciences. The focus is on the first three years of early research career development following completion of a postdoctoral fellowship within a traditional departmental structure (e.g. medicine, psychiatry/psychology, public health). Thus, upon completion of this program, the candidates will be between four and six years postgraduate and ideally positioned to obtain NCI funding in areas designed as "extraordinary" opportunities by the NCI's Cancer Prevention and Cancer Control Review Group reports (1997). Specifically, it will focus on mentorship from primary and secondary mentors from different disciplines and a highly individualized training plan of placement with ongoing cancer research programs. A curriculum in transdisciplinary research for cancer prevention, control and population sciences that provides a balance of common shared training and individual instructional opportunities will be developed and refined. This CEG capitalizes on the unique strengths and the cooperation of three major programs at Brown: (a) The Center for Behavioral and Preventive Medicine including, the Center for Weight Control and Diabetes Research and the Department of Psychiatry; (b) the Public Health program including the Center for Gerontology and Health Care Research and the Center for Statistical Sciences; and (c) the Brown University Oncology Group and campus based cancer biology research associated with the Brown Cancer Center. The CEG is designed to foster understanding of the importance of tobacco addiction, diet, and physical activity and other behavioral/psychosocial factors in cancer prevention and control across the five phases of NCI research (basic, preclinical, clinical, dissemination, and policy formation). The CEG will enroll one Ph.D. and one M.D. candidate per year for four years. The proposed research training program will include three components: 1) supervised participation in the ongoing work of established research teams, one led by a primary mentor and the other by a secondary mentor from another discipline; 2) participation in Brown's MS or MPH program with required competency and/or courses in public health, behavioral medicine, and cancer biology; and 3) participation in an innovative prosemmar in behavioral medicine, that focuses on transdisciplinary cancer prevention and control research. This program benefits from the participation of enthusiastic and committed faculty. Brown has a strong history of transdisciplinary research and training efforts at the predoctoral and postdoctoral (e.g. T-32) level. The CEG will bridge the gap between disciplines and provide an additional three years of early career support and mentorship to ensure a successful NCI-funded research career.
