Cancer Prevention and Control Research Training and Career Development Program

项目摘要 德克萨斯大学休斯顿健康科学中心（UTHealth）公共卫生学院寻求其 我们非常成功的癌症控制研究培训和职业发展方案的第六次更新， 为博士研究生和博士后培训生提供的培训。拟议培训方案的长期目标是： GRAM旨在降低癌症发病率和死亡率，并减少与癌症相关的健康不公平现象。的 培训计划的目标是增加杰出的癌症控制科学家的数量， 强调培训来自代表性不足的少数群体的科学家-从事尖端研究， 分析能力。该培训计划旨在帮助癌症预防和控制研究人员做好准备， 填补有关癌症相关不平等的多层次原因的证据空白;开发和评估癌症 控制多层次干预（MLI）;并制定和测试战略，以增加采用，实施， 在社区和卫生保健环境中进行心理治疗、维持和扩大有效干预。 拟议的方案更新建立在29年的跟踪记录准备研究员（许多来自联合国， 少数群体，目前占44%）成为独立，熟练和有原则的癌症 控制科学家使用卓越的创新教学、指导学习经验、专业 发展技能，参与性研究过程，以及在不同环境中的实践经验， 拟议的培训计划准备研究员进行务实，可行的研究，解决 与癌症有关的健康不平等。杰出的癌症控制研究人员作为导师和合作者参加， 导师们在全州建立了长期的社区和医疗保健研究伙伴关系， 国家和全球范围内，以及来自不同联邦和非联邦的各种癌症相关资金 为学员提供无与伦比的机会。该计划的重点领域包括：（1）培训 使用大型数据库，如医疗索赔，EHR，调查和癌症登记数据，以确定- 多层次的癌症相关决定因素; 2）创新研究设计和分析技能的培训 例如地理空间分析、系统科学、贝叶斯方法、生态瞬时评估， 和务实的试验设计，以解决多层次，多维，影响癌症的因素; 3） 利用社区参与性研究和系统计划，发展和评估多边机构; 4）关于癌症控制干预措施的适应性培训，以及设计和测试简单的 心理策略。到本周期结束时，我们的项目将有68名研究员和5名研究员毕业。 研究员将在下一个周期继续接受培训。在这次更新中，培训计划将任命15名 新学员，每年支持大约4个博士前和4个博士后职位。基础上 一个强大的跟踪记录，该计划将继续招聘，保留，并培训少数民族前和博士后- 坚定致力于研究消除与癌症有关的卫生不公平现象的部门研究员。

PROJECT SUMMARY-ABSTRACT The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) School of Public Health seeks its sixth renewal of our highly successful Cancer Control Research Training and Career Development Pro- gram for doctoral students and postdoctoral trainees. The long-term goal of the proposed training pro- gram is to reduce cancer morbidity and mortality and decrease cancer-related health inequities. The training program objective is to increase the number of outstanding cancer control scientists - with an emphasis on training scientists from underrepresented minority groups - in cutting edge research and analytic skills. The training program is designed to prepare cancer prevention and control researchers to fill evidence gaps about multi-level causes of cancer-related inequities; to develop and evaluate cancer control multilevel interventions (MLIs); and develop and test strategies to increase the adoption, imple- mentation, sustainment, and scale up of effective interventions in community and health care settings. The proposed program renewal builds on a 29-year track-record preparing fellows (many from un- derrepresented minority groups, 44% currently) to become independent, skilled, and principled cancer control scientists. Using exceptional innovative instruction, mentored learning experiences, professional development skills, participatory research processes, and hands-on experience in diverse settings, the proposed training program prepares fellows to conduct pragmatic, actionable, research that addresses cancer-related health inequities. Outstanding cancer control researchers participating as mentors and co- mentors have created long-standing community and healthcare research partnerships across the state, nationally, and globally, and a wide variety of cancer-related funding from diverse federal and non-federal sources providing unparalleled opportunities for trainees. Key areas of the program include: (1) training on the use of large databases such as healthcare claims, EHRs, surveys, and cancer registry data to iden- tify multi-level cancer-related determinants; 2) training on innovative research design and analytic skills such as geo-spatial analysis, systems science, Bayesian approaches, ecological momentary assessment, and pragmatic trial designs, to tackle the multilevel, multidimensional, factors influencing cancer; 3) the development and evaluation of MLIs using community based participatory research and systematic plan- ning; and 4) training on adaptation of cancer control interventions, and the design and testing of imple- mentation strategies. By the end of the current cycle, our program will have graduated 68 fellows and 5 fellows will continue their training in the next cycle. In this renewal, the training program will appoint 15 new trainees, supporting approximately 4 predoctoral and 4 postdoctoral positions annually. Building on a strong track record, the program will continue to recruit, retain, and train minority pre- and postdoc- toral fellows with a strong commitment to research for the elimination of cancer-related health inequities.
