DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): At every phase along the cancer control continuum there are unanswered questions that challenge researchers in their battle against this disease. Over the past 10 years, the UCLA Career Development Program in Cancer Prevention and Control Research (R25) has successfully prepared promising post-doctoral scholars to meet these challenges by conducting transdisciplinary research that is critical to advancing the field. Our plan for a third program cycle builds on this experience and embodies our commitment to training the next generation of cancer control scientists by exposing them to the scope and diversity of this field, and the concepts, vocabulary, research skills, and analytical tools their work will require, with special focus on the needs of disadvantaged populations. It embodies continuity through maintenance of program elements that have successfully promoted the progress of twenty-seven post-doctoral fellows as reflected in their exemplary record of publications, receipt of research grants, and post-program academic and research placements. Our plan includes continued leadership by our experienced Directors guided by outstanding Advisory, Curriculum and External Advisory Committees, active involvement of a committed interdisciplinary group of 35 Core Faculty members and program location in the dynamic, interdisciplinary environment of the Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center and School of Public Health at UCLA. Fellows have access to the extensive resources at UCLA, including state of the art research facilities, vast educational opportunities, and community partnerships with organizations serving one of the most ethnically diverse populations in the nation. We will continue recruitment of an ethnically and disciplinarily diverse cohort of 6-8 outstanding post-doctoral fellows in order to promote the synergy that has been a hallmark of the program, and achievement by these fellows of core competencies through a structured but flexible program of coursework, mentored transdisciplinary research, conduct of pilot research guided by a primary and secondary mentor, publications and grant writing, and participation in symposia, workshops and other career-building activities. Based on a critical evaluation of our program, our plan for the next cycle also includes new and modified program elements that represent program change and growth: inclusion for the first time of 2-3 pre-doctoral fellows, expansion of a unique mini-course program that ensures exposure to new, emerging, cutting-edge issues as well as coverage of core content in the cancer prevention and control, enhancing links to Centers and Departments in our program environment, and revisions in our admissions and faculty orientation procedures that will further strengthen the program. Building on what has worked well and implementing innovative strategies will allow us to continue to achieve our vital mission: provision of a rich training program for future researchers so that they can and will successfully move our field forward. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This proposal supports continuing the UCLA Career Development Program in Cancer Prevention and Control Research. The purpose of the program is to train transdisciplinary scientists to conduct cancer prevention and control research to reduce the population burden of this major disease.

描述（由申请人提供）：在癌症控制连续体的每个阶段，都有未解决的问题，这些问题挑战了研究人员在与这种疾病的斗争中。在过去的10年中，UCLA预防和控制研究（R25）的UCLA职业发展计划（R25）成功准备了有前途的博士后学者，以通过进行跨学科研究来应对这些挑战，这对于前进的领域至关重要。我们的第三个计划周期计划以这一经验为基础，并体现了我们致力于培训下一代癌症控制科学家的承诺，通过将其暴露于该领域的范围和多样性，以及他们工作将需要的概念，词汇，研究技能和分析工具，并特别关注违反人群的需求。它通过维护程序要素来体现连续性，这些计划要素成功地促进了二十七十七十七十七十七名的进步，如他们在出版物的典范记录，收到研究补助金以及后果后的学术和研究位置中所反映的。 我们的计划包括在杰出的咨询，课程和外部咨询委员会指导的经验丰富的董事中继续领导，积极参与了由35个核心教师组成的坚定跨学科小组，以及在乔恩森综合癌症中心的动态，跨学科环境中的计划地点，以及UCLA公共卫生学院。研究员可以访问加州大学洛杉矶分校的广泛资源，包括最先进的研究设施，庞大的教育机会以及与服务于全国最多样化人群之一的组织之一。 We will continue recruitment of an ethnically and disciplinarily diverse cohort of 6-8 outstanding post-doctoral fellows in order to promote the synergy that has been a hallmark of the program, and achievement by these fellows of core competencies through a structured but flexible program of coursework, mentored transdisciplinary research, conduct of pilot research guided by a primary and secondary mentor, publications and grant writing, and participation in symposia,讲习班和其他职业建设活动。 Based on a critical evaluation of our program, our plan for the next cycle also includes new and modified program elements that represent program change and growth: inclusion for the first time of 2-3 pre-doctoral fellows, expansion of a unique mini-course program that ensures exposure to new, emerging, cutting-edge issues as well as coverage of core content in the cancer prevention and control, enhancing links to Centers and Departments in our program environment, and revisions in our admissions and教师导向程序将进一步加强该计划。 基于运作良好并实施创新策略的基础，将使我们能够继续实现至关重要的使命：为未来的研究人员提供丰富的培训计划，以便他们可以并且将成功地推动我们的领域前进。 公共卫生相关性：该提案支持继续在癌症预防和控制研究方面的UCLA职业发展计划。该计划的目的是培训跨学科的科学家进行预防癌症和控制研究，以减轻这种主要疾病的人口负担。
