PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This proposal is a resubmission of the University of Arizona Cancer Center’s (UACC) Cancer Prevention and Control R25T postdoctoral training program re-competition. This program was first funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in 1998 as a R25T and currently continues under that mechanism (2R25CA078447). Our R25T program is currently in a no cost extension year and has supported 9 successful postdoctoral fellows over the current grant cycle (2010 – 2015), 44% of whom are from underserved populations. This T32 proposal requests 4 postdoctoral positions per year for two-year training periods with the goal to train a maximum of 10 postdoctoral trainees over five years. Upon program completion, T32 fellows will be prepared to proceed to successful and productive independent cancer health disparity research careers that contribute to decreases in cancer morbidity and mortality among underserved populations. This will be achieved through two designated foci: 1) recruit qualified trainees committed to cancer prevention work in underserved populations, including researchers from underserved communities and those with an interest in cancer health disparities science; and 2) train individuals in cancer prevention and control and health disparities science to reduce health disparities. During this training program, fellows will be required to 1) engage in a primary research project along with required coursework, including a health disparities training curriculum; 2) attend and lecture in the weekly UACC Cancer Prevention and Control seminar series; 3) submit their work for presentation and publication in peer-reviewed journals; 4) attend scientific and career development meetings; and 5) develop a grant proposal for research funding. This proposed Cancer Prevention and Control Health Disparities Training Program aligns with the University of Arizona’s strategic plan and addresses the needs of our State’s unique population (25.5% Hispanic, 4.1% African-American, and 5.8% Native American residents, as compared to national averages of 15.8% Hispanic/Latino, 12.6% African-American, and 0.7% Native American (US Census Bureau)). This distinctive geographic location along with our strong community ties, university partnerships, CPC postdoctoral training history, and university infrastructure and resources uniquely position us to train the next generation of CPC researchers focused on reducing health disparities and working with underserved communities.

项目摘要/摘要 该提案是亚利桑那大学癌症中心（UACC）癌症预防和 控R25 T博士后培养计划复赛。该项目最初由国家资助。 癌症研究所（NCI）在1998年作为R25 T，目前继续在该机制下（2 R25 CA 078447）。 我们的R25 T计划目前处于无成本延期年，并已支持9名成功的博士后研究员 在目前的赠款周期（2010 - 2015年），44%的人来自得不到充分服务的人口。T32提案 要求每年4个博士后职位，为期两年，目标是最多培养10个 五年以上的博士后实习生。在计划完成后，T32研究员将准备继续进行 成功和富有成效的独立癌症健康差距研究事业，有助于减少 癌症发病率和死亡率。这将通过两个指定的 重点：1）招募合格的学员，致力于在服务不足的人群中开展癌症预防工作，包括 来自服务不足社区和对癌症健康差异科学感兴趣的研究人员; 2)对个人进行癌症预防和控制以及健康差距科学方面的培训，以减少健康差距。 在此培训计划期间，研究员将被要求1）从事一个主要的研究项目，沿着 必修课程，包括健康差异培训课程; 2）每周参加并讲课 UACC癌症预防和控制研讨会系列; 3）提交他们的工作报告和出版物， 同行评审期刊; 4）参加科学和职业发展会议; 5）制定赠款提案 研究经费。这项拟议的癌症预防和控制健康差距培训计划 与亚利桑那大学的战略计划，并解决了我们国家的独特人口的需求 (25.5%西班牙裔，4.1%非洲裔美国人和5.8%美洲原住民居民，与全国相比 平均15.8%的西班牙裔/拉丁美洲人，12.6%的非洲裔美国人和0.7%的美洲原住民（美国人口普查 主席团））。这个独特的地理位置沿着我们强大的社区关系，大学合作伙伴关系， 中国共产党博士后培养的历史，以及大学的基础设施和资源，使我们能够培养 下一代CPC研究人员专注于减少健康差距， 社区.
