ABSTRACT This proposal is for the renewal of the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill's Cancer Health Disparities Training Program (CHDP), operative since 2009. The current proposal requests 15 two-year postdoctoral positions. The aim for continuation of CHDP is to train a diverse cadre of scientists at the postdoctoral level to work to improve the science of cancer health disparities research that will lead to reduction and elimination of these disparities. To accomplish this aim, we have added new training elements that will take full advantage of the unique resources and opportunities of the T32 training mechanism at UNC to:  Appoint 15 Fellows who have an explicit commitment to conducting research on cancer disparities. Providing training at the postdoctoral level is essential for producing scientists with diverse career goals, disciplinary backgrounds, research experience, and professional preparation. A program of this size is necessary to initiate and sustain a specialized, interdisciplinary training infrastructure. Our successful efforts in enrolling minority Fellows will be enhanced with special strategies to recruit Latino and American Indian Fellows.  Develop and deliver a specialized two-year curriculum that fosters an interdisciplinary understanding of cancer disparities. The curriculum will continue to build on the institutional strengths of nationally recognized educational and training programs at UNC. The following new opportunities for Fellows will be added: six training faculty with NCI-funded expertise in global cancer research, mHealth interventions, and Health Informatics Technology; three recent interdisciplinary course offerings on health disparities; and three workshops on community engagement in anti-racism research and practice.  Provide Fellows with individualized career development experiences that enhance professional skills and build professional networks. The program will continue to assign each Fellow with mentors in more than one discipline, who guide them in research communication and grant writing skills, and creating an Individual Development Plan (IDP). Additional emphasis will be placed on transitioning from postdoctoral training to productive career paths through a new Professional Development Seminar Series organized by seven NIH-funded T32 programs at UNC.  Provide each Fellow with individualized mentored research experience with 1-2 active interdisciplinary research teams that focus on understanding or addressing complex issues underlying cancer health disparities. With the addition of Dr. Deborah Tate as CHDP Co-Director, she and Dr. Eugenia Eng will work with each Fellow's mentors in identifying productive research teams at UNC with whom Fellows will have access to datasets, learn research skills, and gain familiarity with the many scientific disciplines, methods, and community engagement approaches involved in research on cancer health disparities. Moreover, Drs. Tate and Eng will meet bi-monthly with the group of Fellows to advise on how to capitalize on their research experience to generate grant applications and publications.  Evaluate the success of the program in meeting its objectives. We will continue to employ explicit benchmarks and will follow well-defined procedures for capturing, analyzing, and reporting outcomes. The evaluation will serve the dual purposes of program accountability and continuous improvement. The UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health is one of the top two ranked schools of public health in the nation, and combined with UNC's Schools of Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy and Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, offers exceptional resources for Fellows. These resources include outstanding faculty, diverse ongoing studies, and a collaborative research environment conducive to training future leaders in cancer disparities research. The Program Co-Directors, Drs. Tate and Eng, are Professors of Health Behavior and full members with Lineberger's Cancer Prevention and Control Program. They will continue to be supported by CHDP's Leadership Team of Paul Godley, Vice Dean for Diversity and Inclusion and Professor of Medicine and Epidemiology, Giselle Corbie-Smith, Professor of Social Medicine and Director, Center for Health Equity Research, and Til Stürmer, Professor and Chair of Epidemiology. They will be responsible for overall administrative and scientific direction. CHDP's Training Advisory Committee, composed of the Leadership Team and key faculty from multiple disciplines, will be responsible for decision-making regarding recruitment and selection of Fellows, monitoring their progress, and evaluation. CHDP's External Advisory Board provides expertise and advice to the Leadership Team on all aspects of the program. Since 2009, CHDP has enrolled 16 Fellows (10 African American, 1 Asian American, and 5 White). Minus the three still enrolled, 13 have secured research positions of which 10 are tenure track faculty. We are confident that CHDP will continue as a highly successful and vibrant training environment in which Fellows will be exceptionally well prepared for a productive career in cancer disparities research.

抽象的 该建议是针对教堂山癌症健康北卡罗来纳大学（UNC）的续签 自2009年以来运行的差异培训计划（CHDP）。当前的提案要求15两年 博士后职位。持续冠心还原的目的是培训一名潜水员的科学家 博士后一级致力于改善癌症健康差异研究的科学研究，这将导致 减少和消除这些差异。为了实现这一目标，我们添加了新的培训元素 这将充分利用UNC的T32培训机制的独特资源和机会 到： 任命15名对进行癌症分布研究的明确承诺的研究员。 在博士后一级提供培训对于制造具有潜水职业目标的科学家至关重要 纪律背景，研究经验和专业准备。这个大小的程序是 启动和维持专门的跨学科培训基础设施所需的必要条件。我们的成功 通过招募拉丁裔和美国的特殊策略，将加强入学少数派研究员的努力 印度人。 开发和提供专门的两年课程，以促进对跨学科的理解 癌症分布。该课程将继续建立在全国的机构优势的基础上 UNC认可的教育和培训计划。以下研究员的新机会将是 补充：六个拥有NCI资助的全球癌症研究专业知识，MHealth干预措施和 健康信息学技术；关于健康差异的三个跨学科课程；和 有关社区参与反种族主义研究和实践的三个研讨会。 为研究员提供个性化的职业发展经验，以提高专业技能和 建立专业网络。该计划将继续为每个人分配导师 一项学科，指导他们从事研究沟通和授予写作技巧，并创建一个 个人发展计划（IDP）。其他重点将放在从博士后过渡 通过由新的专业发展研讨会系列培训到产品职业道路 UNC的七个由NIH资助的T32计划。 为每个家伙提供个性化的改装研究经验，并具有1-2个主动跨学科 专注于理解或解决癌症健康基础问题的复杂问题的研究团队 差异。随着Deborah Tate博士为CHDP联合导演，她和Eugenia Eng博士将工作 每个同胞的导师都在确定UNC的产品研究团队中 访问数据集，学习研究技能，并熟悉许多科学学科，方法， 以及涉及癌症健康分布研究的社区参与方法。而且，博士。 泰特（Tate）和英格（Eng）将每两月与一群人见面，以建议如何利用他们的 研究经验，以生成赠款应用和出版物。 评估该计划在实现其目标方面的成功。我们将继续雇员明确 基准测试，并将遵循定义明确的程序来捕获，分析和报告结果。这 评估将达到计划问责制和持续改进的双重目的。 UNC Gillings全球公共卫生学院是公共卫生中排名前两名的公共卫生学校之一 国家，并结合UNC的医学，护理，药房和Lineberger综合 癌症中心，为研究员提供出色的资源。这些资源包括杰出的教师，潜水员 正在进行的研究和协作研究环境导电以培训未来的癌症领导者 差异研究。该计划联合导演Drs。泰特（Tate）和英格（Eng）是健康行为教授和完整的教授 Lineberger的癌症预防和控制计划的成员。他们将继续得到 哥伦比亚冠军的领导团队保罗·戈德利（Paul Godley），多样性和包容性副院长兼医学教授 和流行病学，吉赛尔·科比·史密斯（Giselle Corbie-Smith），社会医学教授兼卫生公平中心主任 研究，以及流行病学教授兼主席TilStürmer。他们将负责总体 行政和科学方向。由领导层组成的CHDP的培训咨询委员会 来自多个学科的团队和关键教师将负责有关招聘的决策 选择研究员，监视他们的进度和评估。 CHDP的外部顾问委员会提供 有关该计划各个方面的领导团队的专业知识和建议。自2009年以来，CHDP已注册 16名研究员（10名非裔美国人，1名亚裔美国人和5个白人）。减去三人仍在注册，有13个 有安全的研究职位，其中10个是任期教师。我们有信心，哥伦比亚糖股将继续作为 非常成功且充满活力的训练环境，其中研究员将为A做好充分的准备 癌症分布研究中的生产力。
