Cancer Control Research Training Curriculum

描述(由申请人提供)：这是第二次竞争更新癌症控制研究培训课程(CCRTC)R25T赠款，由罗切斯特大学的加里·莫罗博士和硕士领导。为期两年的CCRTC培训计划的主要目的是为医学博士和博士生提供必要的工具和经验，使他们成为癌症控制和预防研究中杰出的独立研究人员，并支持他们成功地竞争研究资金。该计划结合了授课和体验式培训活动。学员需要完成以患者为中心的研究、生物统计学和信息学研究以及健康结果研究的必修教学讲座、核心课程、讲习班和研讨会，以完成临床调查、医学统计或转化研究专业的公共卫生硕士或理学硕士学位。通过参与来自11个医疗中心部门的19名潜在导师的同行评议研究，NCI资助的社区临床肿瘤学计划(CCOP)研究基地，临床转化科学研究所(CTSI)和SHARE(外科健康结果研究企业)，学员了解当地和多个机构的跨学科导师研究项目，使他们能够发表手稿和建立试点数据。72名申请者(41名男性/31名女性：22名医学博士/50名博士：15名少数民族)接受了过去五个CCRTC课程的评估。21人被邀请参加现场面试，12人中有11人被录取，其中包括2名少数族裔申请者。我们目前是R25T计划的第10年。在过去10年中，参加该方案的18名受训人员中有17人获得了同行评议、由调查员发起的资助，迄今总计超过20,540,000美元。学员已获得专业协会颁发的14项职业发展奖。16名学员获得了国家和国际协会颁发的早期职业奖项或研究荣誉。项目实习生提交了289份不同的手稿。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a second competing renewal of the Cancer Control Research Training Curriculum (CCRTC) R25T grant, led by Gary Morrow, PhD, MS, of the University of Rochester. The primary aim of the two year CCRTC training program is to provide MD and PhD trainees with the tools and experience necessary to establish careers as outstanding independent investigators in cancer control and prevention research, and to support them in competing successfully for research funding. The program combines didactic and experiential training activities. Trainees take required didactic lectures, core courses, workshops, and seminars in Patient-Oriented Research, Biostatistics and Informatics Research, and Health Outcomes Research to complete a Master of Public Health or a Master of Science degree with a specialization in Clinical Investigation, Medical Statistics or Translational Research. Through engaging with the peer-reviewed research of 19 potential mentors from 11 medical center departments, an NCI- funded Community Clinical Oncology Program (CCOP) Research Base, a CTSI (Clinical Translational Sciences Institute) and SHORE (Surgical Health Outcomes Research Enterprise), trainees learn about transdisciplinary mentored research projects locally and in multiple institutions, enabling them to publish manuscripts and establish pilot data. Seventy two applicants (41 males/31 females: 22 MD/50 PhD: 15 minority) have been evaluated for our last five CCRTC classes. Twenty-one were invited for on-site interviews and 11 of the 12 who were offered positions accepted, including 2 minority applicants. We are currently in Year 10 of this R25T program. In the past 10 years, 17 of the 18 trainees who have participated in the program have obtained peer-reviewed, investigator- initiated funding, for a total to date of over $20,540,000. Trainees have received 14 Career Development awards from professional associations. Sixteen trainees have received early career awards or research honors from national and international associations. Program trainees have submitted 289 separate manuscripts.
