Socio-Behavioral

社会行为方案有42名成员，来自五所学校的15个系：医学、护理、公共卫生、社会工作和文学、科学和艺术以及社会研究所，以及每年830万美元的与癌症有关的直接研究经费，其中包括来自国家癌症研究所的355万美元，这一数字表明，自2005年上次审查以来，社会行为方案的研究经费增加了50%以上(5492,758美元)。 社会行为计划侧重于四个主题领域：(1)健康交流，(2)医疗服务研究，(3)生活质量研究，(4)烟草控制，该计划四个主题领域中每一个领域的研究人员都参与了与癌症中心临床项目研究人员的合作努力。该计划还与癌症预防和控制中的生物医学计划有很强的互动。特别是，社会行为计划的研究人员经常与生物医学计划内的流行病学、生物统计学和遗传学的研究人员合作。该计划的四个科学目标是：1)扩大研究互动的范围，包括医学、公共卫生、护理、社会工作和心理学等各种学科；2)增加社会行为项目调查员在各专题领域的研究互动的频率和深度；3)增加高素质社会行为项目调查员的数量；以及4)在社会行为研究中保持高水平的外部资助和同行评议的出版物。在这一赠款期间，计划成员出版了383份出版物，其中14.6%是计划内出版物，22.5%是计划间合作出版物。重要的是，UMCCC是一个核心资源，通过支持战略规划、招聘、试点研究资源和包括公共关系在内的传播来支持该计划。未来的计划包括1将研究互动的范围扩大到包括各种学科和组织。2)通过研究集群的发展和维持，继续促进社会行为项目调查员之间强有力的研究互动；3)在社会行为研究中保持高水平的外部资助和同行评议的出版物；4)鼓励社会行为项目的所有主题领域利用健康传播核心。

The Socio-Behavioral Program has 42 members from 15 departments in five schools: Medicine, Nursing, Public Health, Social Work and Literature, Science and Arts, as well as the Institute for Social Research, and $8.3 million in annual direct cancer-related research funding Including $3.55 million from the NCI, This figure indicates that the Socio-Behavioral Program has increased by over 50% in its research funding since the last review in 2005 ($5,492,758). The Socio-Behavioral Program focuses on four thematic areas: (1) Health Communications, (2) Health Services Research, (3) Quality of Life Research, and (4) Tobacco Control, Investigators from each of the four thematic areas of the Program are involved In collaborative endeavors with Investigators from the Cancer Center's clinical programs. The Program also Interacts strongly with the Biomedical Program within Cancer Prevention and Control. In particular, investigators from the Socio-Behavioral Program work frequently with researchers from epidemiology, biostatistics and genetics within the Biomedical Program. The four scientific goals for this program are to: 1) extend the reach of research Interactions to include a variety of disciplines Including Medicine, Public Health, Nursing, Social Work and Psychology; 2) increase the frequency and depth of research interactions of Socio-Behavioral Program Investigators across the thematic areas; 3) Increase the number of high-qualified Socio-Behavioral Program investigators; and 4) maintain the high level of external funding and peer-reviewed publications In Socio-Behavioral research. Over this grant period, program members published 383 publications, of which 14.6% were intraprogrammatic and 22.5% were inter-programmatic collaborations. Importantly, the UMCCC Is a central resource that nurtures the program through support of strategic planning, recruitment, resources for pilot studies, and dissemination including public relations. Future plans Include 1 to extend the reach of research interactions to include a variety of disciplines and organizations. 2) to continue to foster the robust research interactions of Socio-Behavioral program investigators through the growth and maintenance of research clusters; 3) to maintain the high level of external funding and peer-reviewed publications in Socio- Behavioral research; and 4) to encourage utilization of the Health Communications Core (HCC) by all thematic areas of the Socio- Behavioral program.
