DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Following the rapid economic development and the severe environmental deterioration during the past three decades, human cancer risk has been increasing rapidly in China. Cancer now is the number one killer in China and the costs for cancer treatment in 2006 reached more than 20% of the annual total medical costs in China, and this number is actually considered to be seriously underestimated. Facing the grave consequence of the ever increasing cancer burden in China; realizing that nationwide deterioration in environmental conditions and human health could jeopardize the economic development, the Chinese government has taken major steps to prevent and control cancer. China, however, faces many challenges in confronting and battling the war against cancer. One of the major shortcomings for cancer prevention and control in China today is the severe lack of well-trained personnel in all major areas of cancer studies. The primary goal of this application is to secure the resources necessary to build a center of excellence in research and teaching in cancer studies within the Cancer Institute, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CI-CAMS, the designated China National Cancer Center), which is mandated by the central government to be responsible for China's cancer prevention and control. The resources will be used to (1) train scientists urgently needed in the CI-CAMS to develop appropriate strategies to better understand and more effectively respond to the emerging threat from the increasing cancer burden in China; (2) build an infrastructure that will allow CI-CAMS to function as a national center for teaching and research in cancer-related studies; and (3) strengthen China's National Cancer Registration Office to function as a national center of excellence for coordinating and monitoring China's cancer registration. The training goals will be achieved through trainees, selected from faculty and existing pre/post-doctoral programs at CI-CAMS, who will receive education and mentoring at Yale School of Public Health (YSPH) through long-term/intermediate/short-term training or workshops and internet-based tutorial system. The training will emphasize principles and methods in major areas of cancer epidemiology and biostatistics. This training program will be administered by a Program Faculty with representation from both CI-CAMS and Yale University. Yale University, YSPH in particular, has a strong history of prior research and training collaborations with China. We anticipate that trainees of this program will be uniquely qualified to be future leaders in the field of cancer research in China. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (None entered)

描述（申请人提供）：随着过去三十年经济的快速发展和环境的严重恶化，中国人类癌症风险迅速增加。癌症现在是中国第一大杀手，2006年癌症治疗费用就达到了中国每年医疗总费用的20%以上，这个数字实际上被认为是被严重低估的。面对中国癌症负担不断增加的严重后果；中国政府意识到全国范围内环境条件和人类健康的恶化可能危及经济发展，因此采取了重大措施来预防和控制癌症。然而，中国在应对和抗击癌症的过程中面临着许多挑战。当今中国癌症防治的主要缺点之一是在癌症研究的各个主要领域都严重缺乏训练有素的人才。该申请的主要目标是确保在中国医学科学院肿瘤研究所（CI-CAMS，指定的中国国家癌症中心）内建立癌症研究和教学卓越中心所需的资源，该中心受中央政府委托负责中国的癌症预防和控制。这些资源将用于（1）培训 CI-CAMS 急需的科学家制定适当的策略，以更好地了解和更有效地应对中国日益增加的癌症负担所带来的新威胁； (2) 建设基础设施，使 CI-CAMS 能够发挥国家癌症相关研究教学和研究中心的作用； (3) 加强中国国家癌症登记办公室的职能，使其成为协调和监督中国癌症登记的国家卓越中心。培训目标将通过从CI-CAMS的教师和现有博士前/后项目中选拔的学员来实现，学员将在耶鲁大学公共卫生学院（YSPH）通过长期/中/短期培训或研讨会和基于网络的导师系统接受教育和指导。培训将强调癌症流行病学和生物统计学主要领域的原理和方法。该培训计划将由来自 CI-CAMS 和耶鲁大学代表的计划教员管理。耶鲁大学，尤其是 YSPH，与中国有着悠久的研究和培训合作历史。我们预计该项目的学员将有资格成为中国癌症研究领域未来的领导者。公共卫生相关性（未输入）
