Training Program in Cancer-related Population Sciences

我们的癌症相关人口科学R25 T培训计划是与哥伦比亚邮递员的共同努力 公共卫生学院和赫伯特欧文综合癌症中心（JCC），现在正在完成其第14届 一年，将没有资格续约;因此，我们提交了一个相当的T32补助金的竞争性续约。 自1985年以来，我们一直由NCI T32和R25 T赠款资助，为以下人员提供多学科培训： 45名博士生和70名博士后学员。他们中的大多数人都有成功的学术生涯， 许多人现在是癌症流行病学、生物统计学、致癌作用、生存率和健康结果方面的领导者 全国研究。自2002年以来，我们的R25 T计划已经有30名学员。在本周期（2012-2017年）， 每年在3个公共卫生学科中接待4名博士后研究员，由19个R 01资助的 一级导师和24名二级导师。我们的主要导师的平均NIH补助金组合为1.9美元 百万/年。过去的R25学员平均发表了8.75篇论文，平均3.5篇是第一作者， 过去10年的22名受训人员中有20人仍在从事研究工作。我们也有一个优秀的申请人池; 73%的申请人有资格获得培训补助金; 18%的申请人具有选择性; 20%的受训人员来自代表性不足的国家 种族/民族团体。这种竞争性的更新报告新的领导在邮差，参与 各部门，以及NCI资助的CSCCC，所有这些都致力于确保长期的 我们的培训计划和我们的同事的成功。邮递员为两个PI提供工资支持，并提供部分- 时间行政助理以及空间和支持的学员。我们在北方的位置 曼哈顿，包括华盛顿高地和哈莱姆及其大量服务不足的少数民族人口，以及 我们与纽约市卫生部的密切关系，使我们在不平等方面处于领先地位 研究，我们的学员从这些资源中受益匪浅。此外，我们的大型投资组合， 国际合作项目，加上我们的集水区研究，为我们的研究员提供了一个全球性的 对癌症的看法和癌症流行的变化动态，这是最好的理解，通过 研究人群和暴露的对比。我们在健康结果研究和生存方面的领导地位， 以及癌症护理提供研究（CCDR）的新兴领域为我们赢得了大量的研究员 在内科、儿科、外科和妇科肿瘤学中担任实习生。我们提供学习培训模块 设计、临床、行为、实验室、健康服务和数据分析。我们的计划还包括每周 期刊俱乐部，双周研讨会，正式的评估协议，以及模拟学习部分。我们经常互动 与我们的外部顾问委员会，并邀请他们每年访问，以满足我们的研究员，并听取他们的 research.流行病学，生物统计学和环境健康科学的合作，包括临床 和实验室培训的机会，我们的计划提供了一个极好的多学科，多方面的环境， 学员可以发展他们的研究技能，找到自己的利基。

Our R25T Training Program in Cancer-related Population Sciences, a joint effort of Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health and Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center (HICCC), is now completing its 14th year and will not be eligible for renewal; thus, we submit this competitive renewal for an equivalent T32 grant. Funded continuously since 1985 by NCI T32 and R25T grants, we have provided multidisciplinary training to 45 predoctoral and 70 postdoctoral trainees. Most of them have developed successful academic careers, and many are now leaders in cancer epidemiology, biostatistics, carcinogenesis, survivorship and health outcomes research nationally. Since 2002, our R25T program has had 30 trainees. In its current cycle (2012-2017), it hosts 4 postdoctoral research fellows annually across 3 public health disciplines, supported by 19 R01-funded primary mentors and 24 secondary mentors. The average NIH grant portfolio of our primary mentors is $1.9 million/year. Past R25 trainees have published a mean of 8.75 papers with a mean of 3.5 first authored, and 20 out of 22 trainees from the last 10 years remain in research. We also have an outstanding applicant pool; 73% of applicants are training grant eligible; 18% selectivity; and 20% of trainees from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups. This competitive renewal reports on new leadership at Mailman, the participating departments, and the NCI-funded HICCC, all of whom are deeply committed to ensuring the longstanding success of our Training Program and our fellows. Mailman provides salary support for the two PIs and part- time administrative assistant as well as space and support for the trainees. Our location in northern Manhattan, including Washington Heights and Harlem with their large underserved minority populations, and our close relationships with the New York City Department of Health, made us early leaders in disparities research, and our trainees benefit tremendously from those resources. In addition, our large portfolio of international collaborative projects, together with our catchment area studies, provides our fellows with a global perspective on cancer and the changing dynamics of the cancer epidemic, which is best understood through contrasts in study populations and exposures. Our leadership in health outcomes research and survivorship, as well as the emerging field of cancer care delivery research (CCDR) has gained us a large number of fellows in medical, pediatric, surgical and gynecologic oncology as trainees. We offer training modules in study design, clinical, behavioral, laboratory, health services, and data analysis. Our program also includes weekly journal clubs, biweekly seminars, a formal evaluation protocol, and mock study sections. We regularly interact with our External Advisory Board and invite them to visit annually to meet our fellows and hear about their research. A collaboration of epidemiology, biostatistics, and environmental health sciences, including clinical and laboratory training opportunities, our program offers a superb multidisciplinary, multidimensional milieu in which trainees can develop their research skills and find their own niches.
