INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCH CANCER EPIDEMIOLOGY FELLOWSHIP

这项申请是为癌症流行病学的机构培训拨款续期5年，目前已进入第18个年头。我们提议扩大该计划，以应对在不断扩大的癌症流行病学、预防和控制领域培训研究人员的日益增长的挑战。将开设癌症病因学与预防、癌症遗传流行病学和癌症控制三个培训方向。学生将开始他们的课程教学计划，为每个集中的领域设计的课程，之后他们进行相关领域的研究。该项目以约翰霍普金斯大学卫生与公共卫生学院流行病学系为基础。除了流行病学，它的教师还代表了医学、病毒学、生物统计学、遗传学和护理学等学科。该计划继续为高素质的学生提供预科和研究生培训。参加培训的学生可以是硕士、博士学位候选人或博士后。该项目的毕业生在美国和世界各地的学术界、政府机构和机构中担任重要职位。该计划得益于与公共卫生学院和约翰霍普金斯医学院多个部门的密切联系。一个庞大而多样的癌症流行病学研究项目为候选人提供了许多论文研究的机会。在流行病学、环境卫生科学、卫生政策和管理、肿瘤学和医学系担任初级和联合职务的教员导师就是多学科培训方法的例证。所有学员将学习基本的核心课程，包括流行病学和生物统计方法课程，癌症流行病学、预防和控制的方法和问题以及研究中的伦理问题的多层次课程系列。额外的必修课程将取决于他们选择的培训方向。约翰霍普金斯大学的这个项目旨在为这个项目的研究员提供多学科培训，并将他们培养成下一代癌症流行病学、预防和控制方面的研究人员。

This application is for a five year renewal of an institutional training grant in cancer epidemiology, now in its eighteenth year. We proposed to expand the program to address the growing challenges of training investigators in the expanding field of cancer epidemiology, prevention and control. Three training tracks will be offered: cancer etiology and prevention, genetic epidemiology of cancer and cancer control. Students will begin their program with a didactic schedule of courses designed for each area of concentration after which they carry out research in a relevant area. The program is based in the Department of Epidemiology of The Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health. Its faculty represents, in addition to epidemiology, the disciplines of medicine, virology, biostatistics, genetics, and nursing. The program continues to provide pre- and post graduate training to highly qualified students. Students in the training program may be degree candidates for master's or doctoral degrees or postdoctoral fellows. Graduates of the program occupy major positions in the U.S. and around the world in both academia and government agencies and institutions. The program benefits from a close liaison with multiple departments in the School of Public Health and the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. A large and varied cancer epidemiology research program offers candidates many opportunities for thesis research. The multi-disciplinary approach to training is exemplified by the faculty preceptors who have primary and joint appointments in the Departments of Epidemiology, Environmental Health Sciences, Health Policy and Management, Oncology and Medicine. All trainees will follow a basic core curriculum which includes courses in epidemiologic and biostatistical methods, a multi-level course series of methods and issues in cancer epidemiology, prevention and control, and ethical issues in the conduct of research. Additional required courses will depend on their chosen training track. The program at Johns Hopkins is designed to provide multi-disciplinary training to the fellows in this program and to develop them as the next generation of investigators at cancer epidemiology, prevention and control.
