Cancer Related Health Disparities Training Program

项目摘要/摘要 这是一项关于明尼苏达大学T32癌症健康差异的竞争性延续的提案 培训计划，由NCI自2011年起资助。癌症发病率、患病率、筛查和治疗方面的差异 和生存是持久的，来自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。该计划满足了以下基本需求 培训一支多样化的调查队伍，通过创新、多层次和 多领域干预和社区参与研究。我们T32计划的主要目标是 培养博士后和博士后实习生所需的知识、技能和经验 在经历健康差距的人群中开展癌症相关干预研究。我们的3个培训 目标是：1)增加致力于干预的博士后和博士后实习生人数 通过利用当前培训计划的优势来解决癌症差异的转译研究， 包括课程、指导研究和职业发展部分；2)每年准备三个 博士后和三名博士后实习生以减少与癌症相关的健康差距；以及3)加强 致力于招募至少50%的癌症相关健康差距的研究人员的多样性 来自背景的受训人员在研究中的代表性不足。我们寻求教育那些健康的研究人员 准备设计、实施和传播创新的社区参与干预措施，以减少 与癌症相关的差异。在这次更新中，我们还将推行三项响应学员的计划 卫生公平研究中的反馈和创新。首先，我们的领导力、导师和课程 与健康差距研究的科学方法保持一致，重点放在多个层面和领域 沿着癌症的连续体的影响。第二，我们的社区导师的角色已经转变为 为受训人员提供更多机会，让他们获得社区参与的技能和经验 研究。最后，我们将扩大对干预发展的关注，以满足学员的建议 用于干预实施中的教育。我们的培训计划旨在为熟练的调查人员做准备 干预和转化研究，以减少癌症健康差距，重点放在社区 从事研究。我们将通过丰富的指导经验、授课培训和 合作研究、培训和项目。总体而言，我们的建议与NCI的优先事项高度一致 推进癌症中的公共健康。

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.
