Career Enhancement Core

项目摘要/摘要：宾夕法尼亚州立大学TCORS职业提升核心 培训下一代烟草管制科学(TRS)调查员势在必行 对烟草产品的生产、分销和营销的管理。考虑到这个目标，宾夕法尼亚大学 国家烟草与健康研究中心通过以下途径为有前途的学生和研究员提供培训 不同的调查团队积极参与TRS研究。这使我们的中心成为 宾夕法尼亚州立烟草管理科学中心职业提升核心。职业生涯的提升 CORE将为不同的受训者提供研究经验和相关活动，以发展TRS方面的专门知识， 从本科生到教职员工。培训将通过以下四个不同的计划完成 走向独立的轨迹，包括：1)本科生和医学生的研究经历 计划，2)博士后学者计划，3)博士后研究员计划，以及4)新职业和早期职业 调查员指导计划。每个项目将在三个互补的培训中提供经验 根据每个学员的职业阶段和职业目标的独特需求量身定做的组件。这个 培训部分包括TRS授课和基于实验室的课程、导师指导的研究和 试点项目计划。职业提升核心的主要目标是：1)招聘和参与 来自不同背景的有才华的实习生跨越了一系列专业阶段，以促进独立 从事烟草监管科学研究；2)利用宾夕法尼亚州立大学活跃烟草的优势 研究中心、多学科团队和成功的TRS学员网络，以实施密集和 专门的培训计划；3)通过以下方面的协作参与，增强TRS的职业发展轨迹 和TCORS之间；以及4)增加TRS研究对监管的翻译影响 烟草产品的制造、分销和营销。《核心》将由两位前技术代表执导 成功过渡到以指导为重点的独立TRS研究职业的受训者 和教育。董事将得到TCORS高级调查人员和一名内部咨询人员的支持 委员会由宾夕法尼亚州立医学院的教育和培训项目负责人组成。这个 宾夕法尼亚州立大学职业提升核心将通过几项创新功能最大限度地提高培训效果， 包括多学科的专业知识和资源、跨职业管道的计划、近乎同行的指导 从目前和以前的TRS受训人员组成的大型网络中，对生物标记物方法和 由生物标记和分析化学核心支持的分析，以及学术-法律合作伙伴关系 增强受训者研究对法规和政策的转化影响。我们现有的资源和 基础设施将促进我们的学员在TRS成功地走向独立的职业生涯。

Project Summary / Abstract: Penn State TCORS Career Enhancement Core Training the next generation of tobacco regulatory science (TRS) investigators is imperative for informing regulation of the manufacture, distribution, and marketing of tobacco products. With this goal in mind, Penn State Center for Research on Tobacco and Health provides training for promising students and fellows through diverse investigative teams actively engaged in TRS research. This makes our Center an ideal site for the Penn State Tobacco Center of Regulatory Science Career Enhancement Core. The Career Enhancement Core will provide research experiences and related activities to develop expertise in TRS for diverse trainees, from undergraduate through faculty. Training will be accomplished through four distinct programs along the trajectory toward independence, including: 1) Undergraduate and Medical Student Research Experience Program, 2) Predoctoral Scholars Program, 3) Postdoctoral Fellows Program, and 4) New and Early-Career Investigator Mentorship Program. Each program will offer experiences within three complementary training components that are tailored to the unique needs of each trainee’s career stage and professional goals. The training components include TRS didactic and laboratory-based curriculum, mentor-directed research, and a pilot project program. The primary aims of the Career Enhancement Core are to: 1) recruit and engage talented trainees from diverse backgrounds across a pipeline of professional stages to advance independent careers in tobacco regulatory science research; 2) leverage the strengths of Penn State’s active tobacco research center, multidisciplinary teams, and network of successful TRS trainees to implement intensive and specialized training programs; 3) enhance TRS career trajectories through collaborative engagement within and between TCORS; and 4) increase the translational impact of TRS research on regulation of the manufacture, distribution, and marketing of tobacco products. The Core will be directed by two former TRS trainees who have successfully transitioned to independent TRS research careers with a focus on mentoring and education. The directors will be supported by senior TCORS investigators and an internal advisory committee comprised of education and training program leadership at the Penn State College of Medicine. The Penn State Career Enhancement Core will maximize its training impact through several innovative features, including multidisciplinary expertise and resources, programs across the career pipeline, near-peer mentoring from a large network of current and former TRS trainees, specialized training in biomarker methods and analysis supported by the Biomarker and Analytical Chemistry Core, and academic-legal partnerships to enhance the translational impact of trainees’ research to regulation and policy. Our existing resources and infrastructure will facilitate our trainees’ successful progression toward independent careers in TRS.
