Cancer Epidemiology Education in Special Populations Program-15

项目总结/摘要 这是一个转移申请12 - 15年的这个夏季研究培训计划在癌症流行病学 为公共卫生研究生开设的。这是一次在国外为期4个月的暑期实地调研体验 在美国的少数民族人群中，很少有癌症流行病学家有技能， 在不同族裔背景下开展研究的经验，无论是在其他国家还是在移民中 和少数民族人口。我们的教师和实地合作者有经验，提供 专家实地研究培训和指导。 该提案的目的是继续制定和实施一项夏季研究计划， 准备研究生从认可的美国学校和公共卫生计划在癌症领域 特殊人群的流行病学。此更新应用程序的一个新功能是增加 年度职位从10到15。为实现这一目标，提出了以下具体目标： 1.招募和选择第一年的MPH和博士生填补15个职位在每年的5年补助金 更新期。 2.维护和加强在过去11年中开发的基础设施，以支持学生在夏季 特殊人群癌症流行病学的实地研究经验。这方面的一项新创新 应用是一个新的2天的职业发展和就业会议的发展，在过去的 暑期研究体验周 3.保持和增加教师导师和校外实地研究导师的人才库 在过去的11年里。 4.维持和加强癌症流行病学研究培训的审查和监督职能 咨询委员会。 5.保持和加强过程和结果评价以及长期跟踪。 该计划将继续将特殊人群的癌症流行病学定义为未来的职业学科， 流行病学领域的学生。我们的评估显示了我们的毕业生的高生产力水平， 特别是在他们的出版物和职业方向。该计划的成功实施将 继续提供开展癌症流行病学研究所需的熟练专业人员， 特殊人群。

Project Summary/Abstract This is a transfer application for years 12-15 of this summer research training program in Cancer Epidemiology for public health graduate students. This is a 4-month summer field research experience in foreign countries and among minority populations in the U.S. There are few cancer epidemiologists who have the skills and experience to implement studies in ethnically diverse settings, whether in other countries or among migrant and minority populations in this country. Our faculty and field collaborators have the experience to provide expert field research training and mentorship. The objective of this proposal is to continue developing and implementing a summer research program to prepare graduate students from accredited U.S. schools and programs of public health in the field of cancer epidemiology in special populations. A new feature of this renewal application is increasing the number of annual positions from 10 to 15. To achieve this objective, the following specific aims are proposed: 1. Recruit and select first-year MPH and PhD students to fill 15 positions during each year of the 5-year grant renewal period. 2. Maintain and enhance the infrastructure developed in the past 11 years that supports students in summer field research experiences in cancer epidemiology in special populations. A new innovation in this application is the development of a new 2-day session on career development and employment in the last week of the summer research experience. 3. Maintain and increase the pool of faculty mentors and off-campus field site research mentors developed in the past 11 years. 4. Maintain and enhance review and oversight functions of a Cancer Epidemiology Research Training Advisory Committee. 5. Maintain and enhance the process and outcome evaluation and long-termtracking. This program will continue to define cancer epidemiology in special populations as a future career discipline for students in the field of epidemiology. Our evaluation shows a high level of productivity for our graduates, particularly in their publications and their career directions. The successful implementation of this program will continue to provide a source of skilled professionals needed to carry out cancer epidemiology research in special populations.
