项目摘要

We propose to renew a Career Enhancement Core that focuses on providing predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows with high-quality research mentoring that will prepare them for careers in tobacco regulatory science research. The Core is primarily located at the University of Vermont (UVM), but also has postdoctoral fellows placed at our two collaborating sites, Brown University and Johns Hopkins University. All three institutions also have highly regarded T32 training programs in addictions research, which allows for rich cross-fertilization between tobacco regulatory science and addictions research. Consistent with the overarching focus of the UVM TCORS, this Core focuses on career enhancement around investigating use of tobacco and nicotine delivery products among vulnerable populations. The leaders of the Career Enhancement Core (Drs. Higgins and Heil) have a long history of effective collaborative mentoring in their roles as Director and Associate Director of the UVM T32 training program in addictions research. Eight additional primary mentoring faculty provide a wide range of expertise in the areas of vulnerable populations, addictions, behavioral science, and tobacco regulatory science research. Dr. Villanti bolsters our mentoring team's expertise in tobacco regulatory science. The Career Enhancement Core provides fellows with (a) hands-on research training in tobacco regulatory science in which they directly assist faculty with implementing the primary UVM TCORS studies while simultaneously leading pilot studies, (b) opportunities to participate in an ongoing, rotating seminar series on behavioral science, behavioral economics and behavioral pharmacology, research ethics, and tobacco regulatory science, and (c) abundant opportunities to present their research at national scientific meetings and prepare articles for publication in peer-reviewed journals. During the almost 4 years of the current funding period, we have mentored 14 predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows (4 predocs and 10 postdocs). Our fellows published 29 peer-reviewed articles supported by the UVM TCORS during the current funding period, including 15 as 1st author. In the current funding period, we have used pilot projects and developmental studies to ensure that fellows gain experience with independent research, collaboration, and grant writing in tobacco regulatory science. Going forward, the Core will leverage that experience and our growing expertise in tobacco regulatory science to establish the necessary infrastructure to prepare our fellows for successful careers in tobacco regulatory science, respond effectively to FDA rapid response and other initiatives, and to nurture partnerships and collaborations within the TCORS network. Overall, we feel that this Core is well positioned to continue and enhance its mission of preparing the next generation of tobacco regulatory scientists.

我们建议续签职业增强核心，该核心侧重于提供术前和博士后具有高质量研究指导的研究员将为烟草监管科学的职业做好准备研究。核心主要位于佛蒙特大学（UVM），但也有博士后研究员布朗大学和约翰·霍普金斯大学（Johns Hopkins University）位于我们的两个合作网站上。这三个机构也在成瘾研究中拥有备受推崇的T32培训计划，该计划允许丰富的交叉施肥在烟草监管科学与成瘾研究之间。与总体重点 UVM TCORS，该核心重点是调查使用烟草和尼古丁的职业发展脆弱人群中的送货产品。职业增强核心的领导者（希金斯博士和Heil）在担任董事和同事的角色中有有效的合作指导的悠久历史 UVM T32成瘾研究培训计划主任。八个额外的主要指导教师在脆弱人群，成瘾，行为科学和烟草监管科学研究。 Villanti博士Bolsters我们的指导团队在烟草监管方面的专业知识科学。职业增强核心为研究员提供了（a）烟草的动手研究培训监管科学直接协助教师实施主要的UVM TCORS研究（b）同时领导试点研究，但有机会参加正在进行的旋转研讨会系列关于行为科学，行为经济学和行为药理学，研究伦理和烟草监管科学，以及（c）在国家科学会议上介绍他们的研究的大量机会准备在同行评审期刊上发表的文章。在当前资金的近4年中时期，我们指导了14名催眠前和博士后研究员（4个predoc和10个博士后）。我们的研究员在当前的资金期间发表了29个由UVM TCORS支持的同行评审文章，包括 15作为第一作者。在当前的资助期，我们使用了试点项目和发展研究确保研究员在烟草中获得独立研究，协作和赠款写作的经验监管科学。展望未来，核心将利用这种经验和我们在烟草中日益增长的专业知识监管科学以建立必要的基础设施，为我们的研究员做准备成功的职业烟草监管科学，对FDA快速响应和其他计划有效反应，并培养 TCORS网络中的合作伙伴关系和合作。总的来说，我们认为这个核心是继续并增强其为下一代烟草监管科学家准备的使命。
