Mentoring and Research in Cancer Epidemiology

简介(由申请人提供)：我正在申请第二个为期五年的常设研究员奖，以使我能够继续我的癌症研究议程，并为指导初级同事提供时间。申请书旨在记录最初的奖励在多大程度上使我能够在这些领域取得成功，以及将如何利用额外五年的支助。 在研究方面，我建议：1)继续发展和完善流行病学方法；2)协助同事进行子宫内膜癌和肺癌的分子流行病学研究；3)评估绝经后激素治疗对乳腺癌死亡风险的影响。在指导方面，我将继续我在K05资助的最初五年中做出的承诺，指导正在计划或从事癌症流行病学或临床流行病学研究的初级教员。根据我到目前为止的经验，这些教职员工将位于华盛顿大学内外。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): I am applying for a second five-year Established Investigator Award to allow me to continue my cancer research agenda and to provide time for mentoring junior colleagues. The application seeks to document the degree to which the initial Award enabled me to have success in each of these areas, and the specific ways in which support for five additional years would be put to use. In terms of research, I propose to: 1) continue to develop and refine epidemiologic methods; 2) assist colleagues in the conduct of molecular epidemiologic studies of endometrial and lung cancer; and 3) assess the influence of postmenopausal hormone therapy on the risk of death from breast cancer. In terms of mentoring, I would continue the commitment I have made in the initial five years of K05 funding to mentoring junior faculty who are planning or engaged in studies of the epidemiology or clinical epidemiology of cancer. Based on my experience to date, these faculty will be located both within and outside of the University of Washington.
