M.D. Anderson Education Program in Cancer Prevention

建议的癌症预防教育计划的更新将继续支持八个 博士后和8个博士前（硕士后）实习生职位。该计划成功地训练了 80多名新的研究人员，并已连续资助（R25 CAsyyso）14年。学员 从基础生物医学科学、生物医学统计学、流行病学、遗传学、行为学和 社会科学、护理学、医学和相关公共卫生学科。招聘妇女（60%）， 少数族裔受训人员（27%）非常成功。学员是在一个2级审查过程中选择的， 根据他们提出的教育目标和指导的研究项目的优点。申请人建议， 以类似Koy的格式创建，由我们的咨询委员会和外部评审小组进行评审 在癌症预防领域。这些建议描述了一个量身定制的教育计划，包括课程， 时间轴、研究项目和教育目标。每个计划都是基于实践经验， 正在进行的同行评审的癌症预防研究项目，至少有两个既定的指导下， 来自不同学科的研究人员。这一计划的成功激发了教职员工的热情 有65名教师指导或共同指导了我们的学员。学员参加 一个多学科的课程，其中包括一个核心课程，在癌症生物学，癌症预防，公共 健康和行为科学，加上专业技能的特别研讨会，如赠款写作和 公开演讲。博士后研究员必须在他们的研究期间准备和提交资助申请。 训练学员可以在M获得许多资源。安德森在其现有的病人和研究 数据库和接触大量人口进行预防干预研究; 学员通过他们的教师导师包括广泛的实验室和临床设施。本程序 继续吸引有前途的学员从事癌症预防工作，指导他们的研究， 开始他们的职业生涯与癌症预防研究的重点。从1992年开始， 该方案已逐步增加其能力，目前的水平为16个职位。在同一时期， 在癌症预防的教师和资助研究的规模已经增长了八倍多，提供了一个 重要的培训资源。

The proposed renewal ofthe Education Program in Cancer Prevention will continue to support eight postdoctoral and eight predoctoral (post-Master's) trainee positions. This Programhas successfully trained more than 80 new investigators and has been continuously funded (R25CAsyyso) for 14years. Trainees are recruited from the basic biomedical sciences, biomedical statistics, epidemiology, genetics, behavioral and social sciences, nursing, medicine, and related public health disciplines. Recruitment ofwomen (60%) and minority trainees (27%)has been highly successful. Trainees are selected in a 2-level reviewprocess based on the merit oftheir proposed educational objectives and mentored research projects. Applicant proposals, created in a Koy-like format, are reviewed by both our AdvisoryCommitteeand a panel of external reviewers in the field of cancer prevention. These proposals describe a tailored .educationalplan includingcoursework, a timeline, research project, and educational objectives. Each plan is based on hands-on experience in ongoing peer-reviewed cancer prevention research projects under the mentorship of at least two established investigators from different disciplines. The success of this program has stimulated the faculty's enthusiasm for mentoring trainees, with 65 faculty having mentored or co-mentored our trainees. Trainees participate in a multidisciplinary curriculum that includes a core curriculumin cancer biology, cancer prevention, public health, and the behavioral sciences, plus special workshops in professional skills such as grant writing and public speaking. Postdoctoral fellows are required to prepare and submit grant applications during their training. Trainees have access to many resources at M. D.Anderson in its existing patient and research databases and access to large populations for prevention intervention studies; other resources available to trainees through their faculty mentors include extensive laboratory and clinical facilities. Thisprogram continues to attract promisingtrainees to careers in cancer prevention, to mentor their research, and to launch their careers with a cancer prevention research focus. Starting in 1992 with 4 trainee positions, the program has gradually increased its capacityto the present level of 16positions. During this same period, the size of the faculty and funded research in cancer prevention has grown more than eight-fold, providing a significant training resource.
