Cancer Prevention and Control Program

癌症预防和控制（CPC）计划专注于癌症的科学发现 从一级预防到生存的连续性，转化为临床、社区和政策 改善癌症预后的策略。中国共产党计划在13个部门有25名成员， 2015年任命的领导团队。Kristie Foley博士，是项目负责人和副主任， 人口科学，和凯瑟琳韦弗，博士，担任项目联合负责人和助理主任， 癌症健康公平办公室。该团队指导该计划的科学方向，教育和培训 博士后研究员和早期阶段的教师，以及中共与其他维克森林浸信会的整合 综合癌症中心（WFBCCC）计划。计划成员进行的研究是相关的， WFBCCC集水区：58个县的410万居民，主要是阿巴拉契亚人 （n = 46），非都市/农村（n = 37）地区。每年有23，100例新癌症病例和9，000例癌症死亡 在WFBCCC集水区，所有癌症的发病率分别比全国高3%和5%。 解决癌症差异是CPC计划研究的优先事项，也是一个跨领域的主题 在其工作中。CPC计划进行严格的，假设驱动的，可翻译的研究， 响应两个具体目标：1）改善可改变的风险因素，降低癌症发病率， 发病率和死亡率，战略重点是烟草控制和肥胖症;以及2）提高生存率 结果，重点关注生活质量，同时将患者报告的结果纳入生存护理 并解决癌症治疗的症状和长期影响。这些目标指导CPC 方案战略，包括与集水区需求相关的假设驱动研究; 与关键的机构资源，如维克森林国家癌症研究所社区肿瘤学 研究计划;与其他WFBCCC计划，区域综合癌症中心， 教育和培训致力于人口健康研究的科学家; 和组织战略，促进科学的愿景和目标的CPC计划。程序 成员有520万美元的同行评审，癌症相关的直接资金，其中58.7%来自NCI （不包括90万美元的同行评审培训补助金）。在本供资期间，方案协调会成员制作了370份出版物; 44.3%为方案内，13.2%为方案间，79.5%为机构间， 11.1%的期刊影响因子> 10。CPC计划正处于一个充满活力的新阶段：3 在过去的一年里，新的教师被招募;在过去的一年里，将有4到5名新的教师被招募。 未来5年。

The Cancer Prevention and Control (CPC) Program is focused on scientific discovery across the cancer continuum—from primary prevention to survivorship—that translates into clinical, community, and policy strategies to improve cancer outcomes. The CPC Program has 25 members in 13 departments led by a new leadership team appointed in 2015. Kristie Foley, Ph.D., is the Program Leader and Associate Director for Population Sciences, and Kathryn Weaver, Ph.D., serves as Program Co-Leader and Assistant Director of the Office of Cancer Health Equity. This team guides the scientific direction of the Program, education and training of post-doctoral fellows and early-stage faculty, and integration of CPC with other Wake Forest Baptist Comprehensive Cancer Center (WFBCCC) Programs. Program members conduct research that is relevant to the WFBCCC catchment area: 4.1 million residents in 58 counties, which are predominantly Appalachian (n=46), non-metropolitan/rural (n=37) regions. The 23,100 annual new cancer cases and 9,000 cancer deaths in the WFBCCC catchment area are 3% and 5% higher than nationwide rates for all cancers combined. Addressing cancer disparities is a priority of the CPC Program’s research and a cross-cutting theme throughout its work. The CPC Program conducts rigorous, hypothesis-driven, and translatable research that is responsive to two Specific Aims to 1) Improve modifiable risk factors that will reduce cancer incidence, morbidity, and mortality, with a strategic focus on tobacco control and obesity; and 2) Enhance survivorship outcomes, with a focus on quality of life, while incorporating patient-reported outcomes into survivorship care and addressing the symptoms and long-term effects of cancer treatment. These Aims guide CPC programmatic strategies, which include hypothesis-driven research tied to catchment area needs; integration with key institutional resources such as the Wake Forest National Cancer Institute Community Oncology Research Program; collaboration with other WFBCCC Programs, regional Comprehensive Cancer Centers, and community partners; education and training of scientists committed to population health research; and organizational strategies that promote the scientific vision and Aims of the CPC Program. Program members have $5.2M in peer-reviewed, cancer-related direct funding of which 58.7% is from the NCI (excluding $.9M in peer-rev training grants). In this funding period, CPC members produced 370 publications; 44.3% were intra-programmatic, 13.2% were inter-programmatic, and 79.5% were inter-institutional, with 11.1% of publications in journals with an impact factor >10. The CPC Program is in a dynamic new phase: 3 new faculty members were recruited in the past year; and 4 to 5 more new faculty recruitments will occur in the next 5 years.
