TRAINING AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT

我们的目标是创建一个高效的、最先进的培训计划，前提是我们坚信，只有通过许多科学领域的合作，才能解决总体上的关键挑战，特别是肺癌方面的差异，并改善这一领域的研究。 因此，培训计划将与HSPH培训的其他几个资源密切协调。其他资源之一是HSPH Yerby奖学金计划，这是该培训计划的基石。 耶比奖学金是HSPH的一项HSPH计划，旨在通过招聘和支持在教职员工层面具有突出成功潜力的少数族裔博士后研究员来增加少数族裔教职员工的数量。该项目在健康相关学科的学术培训和初级教师职位之间架起了一座桥梁。其目标是促进每一位叶尔比研究员的智力和专业发展。在一位兴趣相投的HSPH资深教员的指导下，研究员制定他们的研究议程，获得在同行评议期刊上发表论文和获得赠款支持的经验，参加各种专业发展研讨会，并增加他们的教学专业知识。要建造 该中心的培训计划HSPH和DF/HCC各自承诺每年支持一个Yerby职位。这一努力建立在坚实的记录基础上：在过去五年中，四名耶尔比研究员被安排从事癌症预防研究，三名完成研究员资格的人已进入教职员工级别的职位。 这项培训计划还建立在卫生与公众服务部癌症预防教育计划的基础上，该计划自1992年以来由国家癌症研究所资助，现在由R25T(索伦森，PI，5R25CA 05771)资助。该计划的一个中心目标是对未来癌症预防研究的领导者进行跨学科教育。目前的教师领导层包括索伦森博士、大卫·克里斯汀尼博士、凯伦·埃蒙斯博士、苏·戈尔迪博士、南希·里戈蒂博士、K·维斯瓦纳特博士和沃尔特·威利特博士。该计划包括支持博士后研究员、完成进一步学位并同时寻求指导研究机会的医生，以及寻求专注于癌症预防研究的博士后。到目前为止，已有79名研究员参加了这项计划，其中66人已完成培训，目前担任癌症预防研究的领导职位。 这两个培训方案都提供了扩大中心培训能力的机制。TCDP将与这两个培训项目的遴选委员会密切合作，寻找和招募对人口健康和健康差距感兴趣的博士后研究员，以及通过该核心直接培训的博士后研究员。此外，这两个培训计划都为研究员提供了从DF/HCC节点赠款计划、DF/HCC/UMassBoston、U-56计划、HAN/ARD CTSC和NCI-CNP试点计划申请内部资金的机会。这些协作机会将为扩大 此培训计划对职业发展的影响。该中心的培训工作还将与HSPH癌症预防培训计划协调，为研究员提供研讨会和指导。

Our goals to create a highly productive, state-of-the-science training program is premised on the conviction that solving key challenges in population health in general and lung cancer disparities in particular, and improving research in this area, will only be realized via collaboration across the many scientific fields. Accordingly, the Training Program will coordinate closely with several other resources for training at HSPH. One of these other resources is the HSPH Yerby Fellowship Program, a cornerstone of this training program. The Yerby Fellowships are an HSPH program of HSPH aimed at increasing the number of minority faculty members by recruiting and supporting minority post-doctoral fellows with an outstanding potential for success at the faculty level. The program creates a bridge between academic training in health-related disciplines and entry-level faculty positions. Its goal is to advance the intellectual and professional development of each Yerby fellow. Under the guidance of a senior HSPH faculty member with compatible interests, fellows develop their research agendas, gain experience in publishing papers in peer-reviewed journals and obtaining grant support, participate in a variety of professional development workshops, and increase their teaching expertise. To build the Center's training program, HSPH and the DF/HCC have each committed to supporting one Yerby position per year. This effort builds on a solid track record: four Yerby Fellows have been placed in cancer prevention research in the last five years, and the three who have completed their fellowships have gone on to faculty level positions. This training program also builds on the HSPH Cancer Prevention Education Program, funded since 1992 by the National Cancer Institute, now under an R25T (Sorensen, PI, 5R25CA 05771). A central goal of this program is trans-disciplinary education of future leaders in cancer prevention research. Current faculty leadership includes Drs. Sorensen (Pl), David Christiani, Karen Emmons, Sue Goldie, Nancy Rigotti, K. Viswanath, and Walter Willett. The program includes support for pre-doctoral fellows, physicians completing a further degree while also seeking mentored research opportunities, and post-doctorates seeking to focus their careers on research in cancer prevention. To date, 79 fellows have participated in this Program, including 66 who have completed the training and are currently serving In leadership positions in cancer prevention research. Both these training programs offer mechanisms for expanding the training capacity of the Center. The TCDP will work closely with the selection committees of each of these two training programs to identify and recruit post-doctoral fellows interested in population health and health disparities, in addition to those trained directly through this core. In addition, both training programs provide opportunities for fellows to apply for internal funding from DF/HCC nodal grant program, DF/HCC/UMass Boston, U-56 program, the Han/ard CTSC, and the NCI-CNP, Pilot programs. These opportunities for collaboration will provide a vehicle for expanding the career development impact of this training program. This Center training effort will also coordinate with the HSPH Cancer Prevention Training Program in providing seminars and mentorship for fellows.
