Cancer Related Health Disparities Training Program

项目摘要/总结 这是明尼苏达大学T32癌症健康差异的竞争延续的建议 培训方案，自2011年以来由NCI资助。癌症发病率、患病率、筛查和治疗方面的差异 社会经济资源不足和处境不利的人， 人口和种族/族裔少数群体负担过重。该计划满足了基本需求， 培养一支多样化的研究人员队伍，通过创新的、多层次的和 多领域干预和社区参与的研究。T32计划的主要目标是 为博士前和博士后培训生提供必要的知识，技能和经验， 针对健康状况不均衡的人群开展癌症相关干预研究。我们的3培训 目的是：1）增加致力于干预的博士前和博士后受训人员的人数， 通过利用当前培训计划的优势来解决癌症差异的转化研究， 包括课程，指导研究和职业发展组成部分; 2）每年准备三个 博士前和三名博士后学员，以减少与癌症有关的健康差距;和3）加强 通过承诺招募至少50%的癌症相关健康差异研究人员， 来自研究领域代表性不足的背景的受训者。我们致力于培养那些 准备设计，实施和传播创新的社区参与干预措施，以减少 与癌症有关的差异通过这次更新，我们还将采取三项举措， 健康公平研究的反馈和创新。首先，我们的领导力，指导和课程 与针对健康差异的科学方法保持一致，研究侧重于多个层面和领域 影响沿着癌症连续体。第二，我们的社区导师的角色已经转变， 促进增加受训人员获得社区参与技能和经验的机会 research.最后，我们将扩大对干预发展的关注，以解决学员的建议 教育干预的实施。我们的培训计划旨在培养调查人员熟练 在干预和转化研究，以减少癌症健康的差距，重点是社区 从事研究。我们将通过丰富的指导经验，教学培训， 合作研究培训和项目。总的来说，我们的建议与NCI的优先事项高度一致， 促进癌症的公共卫生。

PROJECT ABSTRACT/SUMMARY This is a proposal for the competing continuation of the University of Minnesota T32 Cancer Health Disparities Training Program, funded by NCI since 2011. Disparities in cancer incidence, prevalence, screening, treatment and survivorship are persistent, with persons from socioeconomically under-resourced and disadvantaged populations and racial/ethnic minorities disproportionately burdened. This program meets the essential need to train a diverse cadre of investigators to address cancer health disparities through innovative, multi-level and multi-domain interventions and community-engaged research. The primary goal of our T32 Program is to prepare predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees with the knowledge, skills, and experiences necessary to conduct cancer related intervention research with populations experiencing health disparities. Our 3 Training Aims are to: 1) to increase the number of predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees committed to intervention and translational research addressing cancer disparities by leveraging the strengths of the current training program, including curricular, mentored research, and career development components; 2) each year, prepare three predoctoral and three postdoctoral trainees to reduce cancer related health disparities; and 3) enhance the diversity of the research workforce in cancer related health disparities by committing to recruiting at least 50% of trainees from backgrounds underrepresented in research. We seek to educate researchers who are well prepared to design, implement, and disseminate innovative community-engaged interventions to reduce cancer related disparities. With this renewal, we also will pursue three initiatives that are responsive to trainee feedback and innovations in health equity research. First, our leadership, mentorship, and curriculum have been aligned with scientific approaches to health disparities research focused on multiple levels and domains of influence along the cancer continuum. Second, the role of our Community Mentors has been transformed to facilitate increased opportunities for trainees to acquire skills and experiences in community-engaged research. Finally, we will expand the focus on intervention development to address trainee recommendations for education in intervention implementation. Our training program is designed to prepare investigators skilled in intervention and translational research to reduce cancer health disparities with a focus on community engaged research. We will achieve our goals through an enriching mentored experience, didactic training, and collaborative research training and projects. Overall, our proposal is highly aligned with the NCI priorities for Advancing Public Health in Cancer.
