Interdisciplinary Training in Behavioral Oncology

项目摘要/摘要：我们的总体目标是培养下一代行为肿瘤学科学家 进行跨学科的癌症预防和控制研究， 早期发现、治疗和存活。在行为肿瘤学方面的研究培训尤其出色 适合从能够采用多学科和跨学科方法的跨学科科学家那里受益 关注生物、心理和社会因素的复杂相互作用。与板凳训练不同 科学、癌症预防和控制(CPC)实习生必须融入丰富多样的高级 印第安纳大学、普渡大学印第安纳波利斯分校和印第安纳大学 西蒙大学癌症中心(IUSCC)在过去的10年里，我们培养了跨学科的 医学、心理学、护理学、信息学、流行病学、神经科学和音乐领域的行为科学家 他们为国内和国际的癌症研究做出了重大贡献。这个 本培训计划的目的是： 1)培养具有必要知识和技能的跨学科博士后和博士后研究员 在行为肿瘤学领域成功的独立调查人员，2)培养一支高级干部队伍 通过跨学科研究为我们的学员提供指导的跨学科研究人员 3)加强和实施以科学为基础的有系统的培训方案 行为肿瘤学，具有新的和创新的培训体验，将增加结果 我们毕业生的能力。 学员每周与他们的主要导师会面，每月与他们的二级导师会面 发展一支指导团队。个人辅导以强大的课程体系为补充 专门针对行为肿瘤学的培训。在模块中发展结构化的培训经验 每周安排三个小时，由项目总监领导。其他研究经验 包括每周复习和写作会议，以及杰出教职员工的讲座。的一个关键组件 对所有研究员的培训是撰写和评论赠款申请和出版物。博士前研究员是 允许最多3年的支持和博士后研究员2年的支持。我们计划4个月 博士后研究员和博士后研究员6人。 该计划的新内容和创新包括：1)衰老和癌症的交集，2) 基础和临床实验室的嵌入式经验，3)作为以下结果的正式提案开发 实习生，4)准备作为实习生培训成果提交的建议书，5)经验 摘要提交和展示，以及6)专注于职业规划的内容。

Project Summary/Abstract: Our overall goal is to train the next generation of behavioral oncology scientists to conduct interdisciplinary cancer prevention and control research spanning the continuum of prevention, early detection, treatment, and survivorship. Research training in behavioral oncology is particularly well suited to benefit from interdisciplinary scientists capable of pursuing multi- and inter-disciplinary approaches that focus on the complex interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors. Unlike training in bench science, Cancer Prevention and Control (CPC) trainees must be embedded in a rich diversity of senior researchers like the one created at Indiana University Purdue University at Indianapolis and the Indiana University Simon Cancer Center (IUSCC). During the last 10 years, we have trained interdisciplinary behavioral scientists in medicine, psychology, nursing, informatics, epidemiology, neuroscience, and music therapy who are making significant contributions to cancer research both nationally and internationally. The purpose of this training program is to: 1) Train interdisciplinary pre and post-doctoral fellows with the requisite knowledge and skills to become successful independent investigators in the field of behavioral oncology, 2) Develop a cadre of senior interdisciplinary researchers who serve as mentors for our trainees through an interdisciplinary research network at IUSCC, and 3) Strengthen and implement a structured training program based on science in behavioral oncology, with new and innovative training experiences that will increase the outcome competencies of our graduates. Mentees meet weekly with their primary mentor and monthly with their secondary mentors in addition to developing a mentoring team. Individual mentoring is supplemented by a strong curriculum built specifically for training in behavioral oncology. Structured training experiences are developed in Modules that are scheduled for three-hours each week lead by the Program Director. Additional research experiences include weekly review and writing sessions, and lectures from outstanding faculty. A key component of training for all fellows is writing and critiquing grant applications and publications. Predoctoral fellows are allowed a maximum of 3 years of support and post-doctoral fellows 2 years of support. We plan for 4 predoctoral fellows and 6 postdoctoral fellows. New and innovative additions to the program include: 1) the intersection of aging and cancer, 2) embedded experiences in a basic and clinical laboratory, 3) formal proposal development as an outcome of the traineeships, 4) a proposal ready for submission as an outcome of the traineeship, 5) experience in abstract submission and presentation, and 6) focused content on career planning.
