Project Summary. Research being performed in Puerto Rico provides an opportunity to advance knowledge of cancer risk, and cancer prevention and control among Hispanic and non-Hispanic populations in the United States (US). The Cancer Prevention and Control (CAPAC) Research Training Program at the Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences of the University of Puerto Rico Comprehensive Cancer Center aims to increase the pool of master’s degree graduates and other health professionals that pursue a doctoral degree and/or a career in cancer prevention and control research with a focus on Hispanic health and health disparities. The program will recruit participants from all racial/ethnic groups and cultural backgrounds to participate in a hands-on research experience in a Hispanic population and cultural environment. Participants will be matched to a mentor based on their research interest in basic, clinical, and population-based research. The CAPAC aims to: 1) Recruit 20 master level and health professional students (and recent graduates from these programs) per year to participate in hands-on research experience in cancer prevention and control; 2) Provide participants with a mentored hands-on research experience in cancer prevention and control research with a focus on Hispanic health and health disparities; 3) Provide program participants with the skills to pursue a doctoral degree and/or a career in cancer prevention and control research, and 4) Conduct process and outcome evaluation of short-, intermediate-, and long-term goals. The CAPAC Program will increase participants’ understanding of the spectrum of cancer prevention and control research, strengthen their skills in cancer research, and increase their cultural sensitivity skills. Potential areas of cancer prevention and control research will include topics within the cancer control continuum: prevention, early detection, screening and survivorship, and topics that are relevant within the mission of the National Cancer Institute (cause, diagnosis, prevention, treatment of cancer, rehabilitation from cancer, and the continuing care of cancer patients and the families of cancer patients). The duration of the program is 10 weeks. Upon request and evaluation of the request, the program will support a maximum of 10 participants to extend their research experience to a maximum of 15 weeks. The hands-on cancer research experience will be overseen by a cancer researcher/mentor, to whom each student will be assigned. Areas of expertise of the proposed mentors include basic, clinical, population-based and translational research. Educational activities will include seminars and workshops that will strengthen the participant’s skills to pursue a doctoral degree and careers in cancer prevention and control research. Outcomes of interest to determine program success will include: (1) participant and mentor satisfaction with the program, (2) mentor’s satisfaction with the participants, (3) participants that become co-authors in scientific presentations and/or manuscripts, and (4) participants that continue doctoral studies and/or careers in cancer prevention and control research.

项目摘要。在波多黎各进行的研究为增进知识提供了机会 美国西班牙裔和非西班牙裔人群的癌症风险以及癌症预防和控制 美国。癌症预防和控制（卡帕克）研究培训计划， 波多黎各大学综合癌症中心的癌症控制和人口科学旨在 增加攻读博士学位的硕士毕业生和其他卫生专业人员的数量 和/或从事癌症预防和控制研究，重点关注西班牙裔健康和健康 差距。该计划将招募来自所有种族/民族群体和文化背景的参与者， 参与在西班牙裔人口和文化环境中的实践研究经验。参与者 将根据他们在基础，临床和基于人群的研究中的研究兴趣与导师进行匹配。 卡帕克的目标是：1）招募20名硕士和健康专业学生（以及应届毕业生 这些计划）每年参与癌症预防和控制的实践研究经验; 2） 为参与者提供癌症预防和控制研究的指导性实践研究经验 重点关注西班牙裔健康和健康差距; 3）为计划参与者提供追求 博士学位和/或癌症预防和控制研究的职业生涯，以及4）进行过程和 短期、中期和长期目标的成果评价。卡帕克计划将增加 参加者对癌症预防和控制研究的认识，加强他们的技能， 癌症研究，并提高他们的文化敏感性技能。癌症预防和控制的潜在领域 研究将包括癌症控制连续体中的主题：预防，早期发现，筛查和 生存率，以及与国家癌症研究所的使命相关的主题（原因，诊断， 癌症的预防、治疗、癌症康复以及癌症患者的持续护理， 癌症患者家属）。该计划的持续时间为10周。根据请求和评估， 要求，该计划将支持最多10名参与者，以扩大他们的研究经验， 最多15周。癌症研究的亲身体验将由一位癌症专家监督。 研究员/导师，每个学生将被分配给谁。建议的导师的专业领域包括 基础研究、临床研究、基于人群的研究和转化研究。教育活动将包括研讨会和 讲习班，将加强参与者的技能，以追求博士学位和职业生涯的癌症 防治研究。决定计划成功与否的结果包括：（1） 参与者和导师对项目的满意度，（2）导师对参与者的满意度，（3） 参与者成为科学报告和/或手稿的共同作者，以及（4）参与者， 继续博士研究和/或癌症预防和控制研究的职业生涯。
