Transdisciplinary Cancer Control Research Training Grant

描述（由申请人提供）： 这是我们的R25 T计划的竞争性更新申请。我们的R25 T的具体目标是为培养下一代癌症预防和控制的跨学科研究人员做出贡献-这些人既可以是PI团队的领导者，也可以是共同研究者的合作者。我们的目标是提供早期的职业生涯，跨学科的培训后三年完成了最初的单一学科，博士后培训。因此，在我们的R25 T完成后，学员将在4-6年的研究生和理想的定位，以应对当前的跨学科NIH路线图倡议，获得资金在NCI认为“非凡”的机会，并解决新发现的癌症控制问题，出现在21世纪世纪的收益。我们的R25 T培训计划是基于布朗大学三个主要项目的个人优势和合作协同作用：（a）行为和预防医学中心;（B）老年学和医疗保健研究中心;（c）布朗大学肿瘤学小组。此外，在布朗公共卫生不断增长的计划已经，并将继续是一个重要的资源MPH课程，并为学员提供对癌症控制的人口水平的观点。在这个更新周期中，我们将继续提供和完善癌症预防和控制的跨学科研究课程，提供共同共享培训和个性化研究培训的平衡。个性化的培训计划包括：1）监督参与已建立的研究团队的持续工作，一个由主要导师领导，另一个由至少一个来自另一学科的第二导师领导; 2）参与布朗的MPH计划，无论是选择课程作业还是全学位预科; 3）参与创新教学法，包括互动式跨学科研讨会和肺癌跨学科方法研讨会;和4）正式指示，在补助金写作导致的发展和提交的R 01或同等补助金在跨学科癌症预防和控制。我们的R25 T培训通过建立在现有的T32博士前和博士后培训计划上，填补了布朗的独特需求，弥合了学科之间的差距，并提供了额外的三年辅导早期职业支持。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a competitive renewal application of our R25T program. The Specific Aims of our R25T are to contribute to the training of the next generation of transdisciplinary researchers in cancer prevention and control - persons who can be both PI team-leaders and also co-investigator collaborators. Our objective is to provide early career, transdisciplinary training for the three years following completion of an initial single- discipline, postdoctoral traineeship. Thus, upon completion of our R25T, trainees will be between 4-6 years postgraduate and ideally positioned to respond to current transdisciplinary NIH Roadmap initiatives, to obtain funding in areas considered "extraordinary" opportunities by NCI, and to address newly identified cancer control issues that emerge as the 21st century proceeds. Our R25T training program is based on the individual strengths of, and the synergy of cooperation among, three major programs at Brown: (a) The Centers for Behavioral and Preventive Medicine; (b) The Center for Gerontology and Healthcare Research; and (c) The Brown University Oncology Group. In addition, the growing Program in Public Health at Brown has been, and will continue to be, a significant resource for MPH coursework and providing trainees with a population-level perspective on cancer control. In this renewal cycle, we will continue delivering, and refine, a curriculum in transdisciplinary research for cancer prevention and control that provides a balance of in- common shared training and individualized research training. The individualized training plan includes: 1) supervised participation in the ongoing work of established research teams, one led by a primary mentor and the other by at least one other second mentor from another discipline; 2) participation in Brown's MPH program either with selected coursework or matriculation for the full degree; 3) participation in innovative didactics, including an interactive transdisciplinary seminar and a seminar on transdisciplinary approaches to lung cancer; and 4) formal instruction in grant writing leading to the development and submission of an R01 or equivalent grant in transdisciplinary cancer prevention and control. Our R25T training fills a unique need at Brown by building on existing T32 predoctoral and postdoctoral training programs, by bridging the gap between disciplines, and providing an additional three years of mentored early career support.
