Mentoring, Education, and Dissemination Core

威斯康星州大学烟草研究和干预中心建议建立一个国家实验室，以提高对烟草依赖的理解和治疗。为了实现这一目标，将在开展拟议研究项目所述科学工作的同时完成若干任务。指导、教育和传播（MED）核心将（1）以教育和支持研究机会的形式，提供从潜在科学家（本科生）到成熟科学家的跨专业范围的优质指导;（2）提供持续的、基于证据的 （3）以及时有效的方式向科学界和非科学界传播从研究项目中获得的科学知识，这些研究项目包括中心在五年期间开展的活动;并且，在本发明中，（四）通过年度竞争性提交程序支持创新的发展研究，这将使新的研究人员能够利用新出现的机会，并提高核心研究赠款，中心在支持的第一年，一个发展研究项目忠实于 卓越中心的方法利用一种迭代的、有效的方法，将改进一种低成本的策略，以鼓励来自不同人群的更多吸烟者尝试戒烟，更频繁地戒烟，并在他们尝试戒烟时使用循证治疗。由于该项目将在与社区机构协作的真实世界社区环境中进行，因此将强调干预措施的转化潜力，以解决吸烟率显著升高且烟草负担不成比例的难以接触和治疗的人群：生活在贫困中的人群。

The University of Wisconsin Center for Tobacco Research and Intervention proposes to create a national laboratory to improve understanding and treatment of tobacco dependence. In order to reach this goal, a number of tasks will be accomplished in parallel with the scientific work described in the proposed research projects. The Mentoring, Education, and Dissemination (MED) Core will (1) provide quality mentoring across the professional spectrum, from potential scientists (undergraduate students) to established scientists, in the form of both educational and supported research opportunities; (2) provide on-going, evidence-based education on tobacco dependence and innovative methods to increase scientific understanding of same, to a variety of audiences; (3) disseminate the scientific knowledge gained from the research projects comprising the Center's activities over the five-year period in a timely and effective manner to both scientific and lay audiences; and, (4) support innovative developmental research through an annual competitive submission process that will both allow new investigators to capitalize on emergent opportunities and enhance the core research grants of the Center. In the first year of support, a developmental research project faithful to the Center of Excellence approach utilizing an iterative, efficient method will refine a low-cost strategy to encourage more smokers, from disparate populations, to make quit-attempts, to make them more frequently, and to use evidence-based treatments when they do make such attempts. Since the project will be conducted in a real-world, community setting in collobaration with a community agency, it will emphasize the translational potential of interventions to address a hard-to-reach-and-treat population with significantly elevated prevalence of smoking and disproportionate burden from tobacco: those living in poverty.
