DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to recruit a bright and productive young clinical investigator from the University of Rochester, Oxana Palesh, Ph.D., to a tenure-track Assistant Professorship and mentor her development as a researcher in CAM mind/body medical interventions. Her work will help us develop the Stanford P30 Mind-Body Core Center program linking our Stanford Center for Integrative Medicine, the Center on Stress and Health, and the Stanford Cancer Center. This Core Center program will study the effects of disruption in circadian rhythms (in particular sleep and dysregulation of Cortisol) on cancer progression and will evaluate the efficacy of CAM interventions in improving sleep and extending survival time with cancer. We have in place methods and facilities to study sleep and circadian hormonal rhythms and their interaction with immune function. This recruitment would put in place a full-time clinical researcher who has recently received a K Award from NCI to study sleep and breast cancer and evaluate the impact of behavioral interventions on sleep disruption, the capacity for self-soothing via improved vagal tone, and cancer survival. The P30 would allow us to complete Dr. Palesh's recruitment and develop a collaborative program involving the Stanford Cancer Center (Dr. Mitchell, Director) and researchers in psychoneuroimmunology (Dr.Dhabhar), sleep physiology (Dr. Zeitzer), breast cancer (Dr. Carlson), and Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) treatments for sleep and insomnia researcher (Dr. Manber). It would also involve expert biostatistical consultation from Dr. Booil Jo, and would be directed by Dr. Spiegel, with expertise in psychooncology and integrative medicine. We plan to develop a strong mind/body integrative research focus linking circadian biology to cancer progression. The goals of this grant are: 1) to provide appropriate research support for Dr. Palesh to conduct her own research and to contribute to the overall scientific mission of the Mind/Body Core Center; 2) to utilize existing institutional strengths (e.g., infrastructure to study sleep, stress, endocrine and immune function, and disease progression) to develop and conduct pilot studies of the effects of CAM interventions (e.g., mindfulness, acupuncture, hypnosis) on sleep and cancer progression. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This Core Center would help us to recruit and support a promising young clinical researcher while building a program that examines the effectiveness of CAM interventions (mindfulness, acupuncture, hypnosis) in helping cancer patients to sleep better. Our core would also evaluate the effect of improved sleep on stress hormones, the immune system, and survival time with cancer.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们建议从罗切斯特大学，Oxana Palesh，博士，获得终身助理教授职位，并指导她作为CAM身心医学干预研究员的发展。她的工作将帮助我们开发斯坦福大学P30身心核心中心项目，将我们的斯坦福大学中西医结合中心、压力与健康中心和斯坦福大学癌症中心联系起来。该核心中心计划将研究昼夜节律中断（特别是睡眠和皮质醇失调）对癌症进展的影响，并将评估CAM干预措施在改善睡眠和延长癌症生存时间方面的疗效。我们有适当的方法和设施来研究睡眠和昼夜激素节律及其与免疫功能的相互作用。这项招聘将安排一名全职临床研究人员，他最近获得了NCI的K奖，研究睡眠和乳腺癌，并评估行为干预对睡眠中断的影响，通过改善迷走神经张力自我安慰的能力，以及癌症生存率。P30将使我们能够完成Palesh博士的招聘，并开发一个合作项目，涉及斯坦福大学癌症中心（Mitchell博士，主任）和心理神经免疫学（Dhabhar博士），睡眠生理学（Zeitzer博士），乳腺癌（Carlson博士）以及补充和替代医学（CAM）治疗睡眠和失眠研究人员（Manber博士）。它还将涉及来自Booil Jo博士的专家生物统计咨询，并将由具有精神肿瘤学和综合医学专业知识的Spiegel博士指导。我们计划发展一个强大的身心一体化研究重点，将昼夜节律生物学与癌症进展联系起来。这笔赠款的目标是：1）为Palesh博士进行自己的研究提供适当的研究支持，并为身心核心中心的整体科学使命做出贡献; 2）利用现有的机构优势（例如，研究睡眠、压力、内分泌和免疫功能以及疾病进展的基础设施），以开发和进行CAM干预效果的试点研究（例如，正念，针灸，催眠）对睡眠和癌症进展的影响。 公共卫生相关性：这个核心中心将帮助我们招募和支持一个有前途的年轻临床研究人员，同时建立一个项目，检查CAM干预（正念，针灸，催眠）在帮助癌症患者睡得更好的有效性。我们的核心还将评估改善睡眠对压力激素，免疫系统和癌症生存时间的影响。
