Biobehavioral Cancer Prevention and Control Training Program

描述(申请人提供)：癌症的预防和控制不仅依赖于遗传学和分子生物学，还依赖于社会和行为变量，这些变量是癌症发病率和癌症结果的主要决定因素。此生物行为训练应用程序的具体目标是： 1.继续培训计划，在生物行为和结果研究、交流和实践结果方面设置/略作修订/核心课程； 2.从(1)以社会科学为基础的学科(包括博士前和博士后)，如心理学、保健服务研究和经济学，以及(2)经过博士训练的基础科学家或经过博士训练的保健专业人员(护士和医生)中招募合格的申请者参加培训计划；以及 3.通过参与新的和现有的癌症预防(烟草和烟草相关癌症、营养、遗传学、化学预防、癌症传播和体力活动)和保健服务研究和政策(预防和护理成果，包括生活质量和成本效益)的研究项目，提供跨学科研究的实际经验。 项目教师已经开发并制度化了一个多学科培训项目，该项目已经达到或超过了使用可衡量标准的原始申请中提出的所有目标。公共卫生和药剂学学院将继续提供正规课程，招聘人员将包括这些学校和两所新的护理和社会工作学校。我们已经制定了侧重于癌症预防和控制的新课程，并通过癌症预防证书正式确定了这一新课程，该证书目前在整个大学范围内提供，并将吸引更多这一领域的学者。已经整合了一个附属计划，为来自不同来源的其他人提供培训。少数民族学生占所有受训学生的25%。弗雷德·哈钦森癌症中心继续提供重要的现场经验，以及普吉特湾的团体健康合作社、西雅图退伍军人管理局、西雅图癌症护理联盟和西雅图-金县卫生局。我们招募了13名新的癌症预防和控制研究员，以及5名附属研究员。我们聘请了来自不同学术环境的28名教职员工对这些新研究员进行培训和支持；这些教职员工将继续存在于重新提交的工作和未来五年的培训中。我们安排了2名博士后研究员担任教职或科研职位，3名博士后研究员参加博士后奖学金或培训机会。教员、受训人员、附属研究员，以及我们所有人所在的部门和学校，都感受到了这笔培训补助金的广泛影响。我们为未来五年寻求持续的资金。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Cancer prevention and control rely not only on genetics and molecular biology but also social and behavioral variables that are major determinants of cancer incidence and cancer outcomes. The specific aims of this biobehavioral training application are: 1. Continue a training program with a /slightly revised /core curriculum in biobehavioral and outcomes research, communications, and practice outcomes; 2. Recruit qualified applicants to the training program from (1) social science-based disciplines (both pre-doctoral and post-doctoral) such as psychology, health services research, and economics, and (2) PhD-trained basic scientists or doctorate-trained health professionals (nurses and physicians); and 3. Provide practical experience in interdisciplinary research through participation in new and existing research projects on cancer prevention (tobacco & tobacco related cancers, nutrition, genetics, chemoprevention, cancer communications and physical activity) and on health services research and policy (outcomes of prevention and care including quality of life and cost-effectiveness). Program faculty have developed and institutionalized a multidisciplinary training program that has met or exceeded all of the goals set forth in the original application using measurable criteria. Formal coursework will continue to be provided within the Schools of Public Health and Pharmacy and recruitment will include these Schools and two new schools, Nursing and Social Work. We have developed new curricula focused on cancer prevention and control and formalized this new curriculum with a Certificate in Cancer Prevention that is now offered University-wide and will engage a larger number of scholars in this area. An Affiliate Program has been integrated to provide training to others funded from different sources. Minority students have constituted 25% of all trainees. The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center continues to provide major field experience, along with Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound, Seattle Veterans Administration, Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, and Seattle-King County Health Department. We have enrolled 13 new fellows in cancer prevention and control, and 5 affiliate fellows. We have engaged 28 faculty from multiple academic settings in the training and support of these new fellows; these faculty will be a continued presence in the resubmission and in the next five years of training. We have placed 2 post-doctoral fellows in faculty or scientific positions and 3 predoctoral fellows in postdoctoral fellowships or training opportunities. The broad effects of this training grant are felt by the faculty, the trainees, the affiliate fellows, and, indeed, by the departments and schools that house all of us. We seek continuous funding for our next five years.
