Training Program

A.导言、目标和具体目标 基于社区的参与性研究（CBPR）是一种合作的方法，它公平地让目标社区参与研究过程的各个方面，其基础是当社区成员参与从问题定义到干预的全方位行动时，公共卫生的改善是最成功的。（1.2）与社区建立平等和积极的伙伴关系，例如，社区诊所、基层组织、成人学习和信仰团体，对于实现积极的社会变革以影响健康和健康政策至关重要（2-4）社区成员是文化专家-他们“.知道什么在他们自己的社区里有用什么没用。(5)事实上，以社区为基础的项目取得了成功，否则通过自上而下的干预模式是不可能的。（6，7）“虽然政策制定者、资助者、社区领袖和学者对CBPR倡议减少癌症健康差异很感兴趣，但与资助、指导和培训相关的障碍阻止了CBPR成为许多学术机构接受的研究模式。（8）如果没有一批经过CBPR培训的研究人员，CBPR将不太可能成为癌症健康差异研究的标准方法。(8)因此，基于社区的前瞻性研究培训计划（CBPRTP）的总体目标是培养一批有能力、训练有素的初级研究人员，通过使用CBPR方法有效地解决癌症健康差异。CBRPTP将实施多模式，经验，指导和持续的职业发展计划，目标是有前途的初级调查员。为了实现这些总体目标，我们将利用坦帕湾社区（iancer网络（TBCCN））的优势，其中包括在学术和社区组织的不同群体之间建立的伙伴关系，以及我们以前和广泛的学术管道培训经验。

A. Introduction, Objectives and Specific Aims Community based participatory research (CBPR) is a collaborative approach that equitably involves the intended community in all aspects of the research process based on the philosophy that improvements in public health are most successful when community members are involved in the full spectrum of action: from problem definition to intervention. (1,2) Equitable and active partnerships with the community, e.g., communitybased clinics, grassroots organizations, adult learning and faith-based groups, are critical for effecting positive social changes to impact health and health policy(2-4) Community members are cultural experts - they "...know what will and will not work in their own communities.(5) Indeed, community based projects have realized successes otherwise unlikely through top-down intervention models.(6,7) 'While there has been much interest from policy makers, funders, community leaders, and the academics in CBPR initiatives to reduce cancer health disparities, barriers related to funding, mentoring, and training have prevented CBPR from becoming an accepted research model in many academic institutions.(8)Without a critical mass of CBPR trained researchers, CBPR will unlikely become a standard approach to cancer health disparities research.(8) Thus, the overall goal ofthe Community Based Participatory Research Training Program (CBPRTP) is to develop a cadre of competent, well-trained junior investigators prepared to effectively address cancer health disparities through the use of CBPR methods. The CBRPTP will implement a multimodal, experiential, mentored, and ongoing career development program targeted toward promising junior investigators. To meet these overall goals, we will draw upon strengths ofthe Tampa Bay Community (iancer Network (TBCCN) which includes established partnerships among a diverse group of academic and community based organizations and our prior and extensive academic pipeline training experiences.
