MENTORING CORE

指导/职业发展核心将协调和管理拟议财团的指导和培训活动，为了成功实现其目标，核心将追求以下四个具体目标：1）为内布拉斯加大学的坦桑尼亚研究员提供密集的学术指导，M.P.H.和博士生物医学科学学位。2)为内布拉斯加大学的坦桑尼亚研究员提供流行病学和病毒肿瘤学方面的短期培训，以便他们发展进行国内癌症研究所需的具体研究技能。3)提供流行病学，行为干预，实验室技术和赠款提案的开发和管理的国内课程和研讨会，为国内临床医生和公共卫生人员的目标受众，没有研究方法的正式背景。4)实施一项指导研究试点项目计划，其总体目标是为通过该核心提供的培训预计将产生的新的、有科学价值的项目提供种子支持。核心将通过UNMC和内布拉斯加病毒学中心（NCV）管理，NCV是全国首屈一指的病毒学研究和培训中心之一，在HIV/AIDS和AIDS相关癌症病毒（如Kaposi肉瘤相关人类疱疹病毒（KSHV），Epstein巴尔病毒（EBV）和人类乳头瘤病毒（HPV））方面具有专业知识和研究实力。

The Mentoring/Career Development Core will coordinate and administer the mentoring and training activities of the propose Consortium, To be successful in meeting its goal, the core will pursue the following four specific aims: 1) Provide intensive academic instruction for Tanzania fellows at the University of Nebraska leading to M.S., M.P.H., and Ph.D. degrees in biomedical science. 2) Provide short-term training in epidemiology and viral oncology for Tanzania fellows at the University of Nebraska so they develop specific research skills needed to conduct in-country cancer research. 3) Provide in-country courses and workshops in epidemiology, behavioral interventions, laboratory techniques, and grant proposal development and administration for a target audience of in-country clinicians and public health personnel with no formal background in research methodology. 4) Implement a mentored-research pilot project program with the overall goal being to provide seed support for new, scientifically meritorious projects expected to result from the training provided through this core. The core will be administered through UNMC and the Nebraska Center for Virology (NCV), one of the nation's premier virology research and training centers with established expertise and research strengths in HIV/AIDS and AIDS-associated cancer viruses like the Kaposi's Sarcoma-associated Human Herpesvirus (KSHV), Epstein Barr Virus (EBV), and Human Papilloma Virus (HPV).
