Academic Career Skills for Junior Faculty Researchers

项目摘要 背景：响应NCI获奖者技能发展联盟（NASDC）的RFA-CA-19-010， 我们建议为癌症控制领域的国家癌症研究所资助的初级教师举办一个为期三天的研究职业技能讲习班， 人口科学我们已经成功地开发和主办了NCI资助的研讨会，以培训早期的职业生涯 研究技能（R25 CA 181000）。我们建议的NASDC研讨会主要针对两种技能 RFA中列出的技能：1）行政、管理和指导技能; 2）领导和协作技能。 然而，根据我们的形成性工作，我们认识到还需要包括应对 研究生涯的社会和情感挑战（处理不可避免的拒绝，平衡 （三）管理资金的不确定性。我们认为，提高所有这些技能将有助于 NASDC的目标是帮助初级教师“在他们的研究生涯中保持长期的生产力， 从而最大化NCI投资的成果。”方法和背景：拟议的研讨会 结合了三种基于证据的方法：1）“指导式指导”，直接观察式指导 机会与专家辅导，并从我们的工作坊校友计划的职业发展讲座 支持性肿瘤学研究方法（R25 CA 181000）; 2）Dana的教学和练习- Faber癌症研究所为早期职业教师举办的领导力训练营;以及3）从以下方面获得的应对技能： 接受和承诺疗法（ACT）ACT可能特别适合管理社会和 研究生涯的情感挑战，因为它的接受框架和前进的方向， 个人价值观的背景。增加参与者之间的潜在合作，并确保提供 适当的指导专业知识的研讨会教师，我们将限制参与者的癌症控制， 人口科学研究人员（行为研究;流行病学和基因组学;保健服务研究; 执行科学;监督;和生存）。丹娜-法伯癌症研究所（DFCI）将主办这一活动。 为期三天的研讨会在波士顿与马萨诸塞州总医院（MGH），另一个达纳- Farber/哈佛癌症中心（DFHCC）机构。在研讨会的每一天，参与者都要参加 在R 01资助的指导下， 癌症控制和人口科学的研究人员。我们将与NASDC协调中心合作， 在三年内举办了五次讲习班的宣传、制作和评价。教师：我们已经组装了一个 癌症控制和人口科学领域的杰出专家团队（独立研究人员， 资助评审员和期刊编辑）计划并担任研讨会教员。作为高生产力的领导者， 以及DFCI和MGH癌症控制和人口科学领域的知名项目，PI（Pirl博士 和Temel）拥有组织这次讲习班所需的经验和领导技能。

PROJECT SUMMARY Background: Responding to RFA-CA-19-010 for the NCI Awardee Skills Development Consortium (NASDC), we propose a three-day workshop on research career skills for NCI-funded junior faculty in cancer control and populations sciences. We have successfully developed and hosted NCI-funded workshops to train early career investigators in research skills (R25 CA181000). Our proposed NASDC workshop mainly targets two skills sets listed in the RFA: 1) administrative, managerial, and mentoring skills and 2) leadership and collaboration skills. However, based on our formative work, we recognized the need to also include training in skills for coping with the social and emotional challenges of a research career (handling inevitable rejection, balancing responsibilities, and managing uncertainty of funding). We believe that enhancing all these skills will contribute to the NASDC goal of helping junior faculty to “maintain long-term productivity in their research careers, thereby maximizing outcomes from NCI investments.” Approach and setting: The proposed workshop combines three evidence-based approaches: 1) “mentored mentoring,” directly observed mentoring opportunities with expert coaching, and career-development lectures from the alumni program of our Workshop on Research Methods in Supportive Oncology (R25 CA181000); 2) didactics and exercises from the Dana- Faber Cancer Institute's Leadership Bootcamp for early career faculty; and 3) coping skills drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT may be particularly well-suited to manage the social and emotional challenges of a research career given its framework of acceptance and moving forward in the context of personal values. To increase potential collaborations among participants and ensure the provision of appropriate mentoring expertise by workshop faculty, we will limit participants to cancer control and populations sciences researchers (behavioral research; epidemiology and genomics; health delivery research; implementation science; surveillance; and survivorship). The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) will host this three-day workshop in Boston in collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), another Dana- Farber/Harvard Cancer Center (DFHCC) institution. Each day of the workshop, participants attend didactic sessions and meet in small groups for three different mentoring experiences, with coaching from R01-funded investigators in cancer control and population sciences. We will work with the NASDC Coordinator Center on the promotion, production, and evaluation of five workshops over three years. Faculty: We have assembled an outstanding team of experts in cancer control and population sciences (established independent researchers, grant reviewers, and journal editors) to plan and serve as workshop faculty. As leaders of highly-productive and well-known programs within cancer control and population sciences at DFCI and MGH, the PIs (Drs. Pirl and Temel) possess the requisite experience and leadership skills to organize this workshop.
