Core D: Career Development Program

合格的烟草控制科学家严重短缺，特别是在发展中国家。我们设想该 TTURC 的培训部分作为国际烟草控制研究培训计划的开始，重点关注科学到政策的转化。职业发展计划（CDP）的目标是通过投资资源培训年轻研究人员、战略性地联系国内外成熟的烟草控制研究人员以及促进烟草控制科学家的跨学科培训来建设烟草政策研究能力。我们创建了两个职业发展奖项轨道来支持这些目标： 1) 转型/青年科学家轨道，将资助新的或经验丰富的研究人员过渡到烟草控制领域，为期长达 3 年（每年有竞争力地更新）； 2) 短期强化跨学科轨道，将为 TTURC 联合研究者的简短跨学科培训提供资金。此外，我们将支持为发展中国家的调查人员开发有关烟草政策主题以及会议和会议旅行的在线培训模块。资助公告将每年发布一次，并通过 GLOBALink、eTC（电子烟草控制）、尼古丁和烟草研究协会等国际名单服务，并通过与全球领先的烟草控制专家的直接沟通，向世界各地的科学家广泛宣传。我们预计每年支持 3-4 个职业发展奖项。 CDP 审查委员会担任主席 由 Geoffrey Fong 博士撰写，由 Drs 组成。卡梅伦、乔维诺、科兹洛夫斯基、奥马尔、罗斯和韦克菲尔德将监督该计划。 RPCI 承诺每年提供 75,000 美元来支持 CDP。

There is a critical shortage of qualified tobacco control scientists, especially in developing countries. We envision the training component of this TTURC as the start of international tobacco control research training program that focuses on science-to-policy translation. The Career Development Program (CDP) has the goal of building capacity for tobacco policy research by investing resources in training young researchers, strategically linking established tobacco control researchers within and across countries, and promoting cross-disciplinary training of tobacco control scientists. We have created two Career Development award tracks to support these aims: 1) Transitioning/Young Scientist Track, will fund new or experienced investigators transitioning to the tobacco control field for a period of up to 3 years (competitively renewed annually); and 2) Short-Term Intensive Transdisciplinary Track, which will fund brief transdisciplinary training for TTURC co-investigators. In addition we will support the development of online training modules on tobacco policy topics and conferences and conference travel for investigators from developing countries. A funding announcement will be made annually and advertised widely to scientists throughout the world using international list serves including GLOBALink, eTC (electronic Tobacco Control), the Society for Nicotine and Tobacco Research, and through direct communication with leading tobacco control experts around the globe. We expect to support 3-4 career development awards per year. A CDP Review Committee chaired by Geoffrey Fong, PhD and consisting of Drs. Cameron, Giovino, Kozlowski, Omar, Ross, and Wakefield will oversee the program. RPCI has committed $75,000 per year to support the CDP.
