宾夕法尼亚州立大学(PS)TCORS是PS医学院(COM)和健康与人类发展学院(HHD)之间持续的跨学科倡议，旨在创建一个基于能力的多学科烟草监管科学中心，该中心将利用美国最大的公立大学之一的基础设施、课程和教师，该大学在培养和培养下一代临床和基础科学家方面享有卓越声誉。通过与乔治华盛顿大学(GWU)的合作，我们的TCORS培训能力和覆盖范围得到了显著增强，带来了应用烟草政策和法规方面的专业知识，并将这种培训扩展到了美国首都。我们提出了一个范围全面的培训计划；目标是使用循序渐进的个性化计划培训博士后学生、博士后研究员/初级教员和专业人员，其中将包括在线世界校园选项和PSU的现场传统课堂设置，并在GWU设立次要地点。我们培训模式的基础是其专注于专业的教育和研究，范围从成瘾的生物行为模型、与烟草产品使用相关的药理学和分子生物标记物、与烟草相关的危害和政策的公共健康模型，到烟草控制干预、传播学和社区参与。我们的计划包括四个基本组成部分：1)烟草监管科学、研究、政策和伦理方面的课程；2)全方位的职业发展，包括学院和大学范围内的关系、资源和经验；3)个人指导的研究或培训项目；4)在线世界校园，连接PSU校园(好时和大学公园)并提供给所有TCORS网站。在五年的TCORS授权期内，我们将培训4名PSU博士后学生(实习生)，4名PSU博士后研究员/初级教师(学者)，并将我们的培训计划扩展到TCORS的其他地点和我们GWU的合作伙伴地点，以在04和05年度培训科学家和工作专业人员。

The Penn State (PS) TCORS is a sustained transdisciplinary initiative between the PS Colleges of Medicine (CoM) and Health and Human Development (HHD) to create a competency-based multidisciplinary Tobacco Regulatory Science Center that will leverage the infrastructure, curriculum, and faculty in one of the largest public universities in the nation with an outstanding reputation for preparing and advancing the next generation of clinical and basic scientists. Our TCORS training capacity and reach is significantly enhanced through a partnership with George Washington University (GWU) bringing expertise on applied tobacco policy and regulation, extending this training to the Nation's Capital. We propose a training program that is comprehensive in scope; targeted to training pre-doctoral students, postdoctoral fellows/junior faculty and professionals using a step-wise, individualized program that will include an online World Campus option and on-site traditional classroom settings at PSU with a secondary site at GWU. The basis of our training model is its specialty focused education and research ranging from biobehavioral models of addiction, pharmacology and molecular biomarkers relevant to use of tobacco products, public health models of tobacco-related harm and policy, to tobacco control interventions, communication sciences, and community engagement. Our program includes four fundamental components: 1) a curriculum in tobacco regulatory science, research, policy, and ethics; 2) career development with a full-range from college and university-wide relationships, resources, and experiences; 3) an individual mentored research or training project; and 4) an online World Campus that bridges both PSU campuses (Hershey and University Park) and available to all TCORS sites. Over the five year TCORS award period, we will train at 4 PSU pre-doctoral students (trainees), 4 PSU post-doctoral fellows/junior faculty (scholars), and extend our training program to other TCORS sites and to our GWU partner site location to train scientists and working professionals in years 04 and 05.
