DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Cancer Prevention and Control (CPC) Program at the Arizona Cancer Center (AZCC) has developed a highly multi- and inter-disciplinary environment in which to train postdoctoral fellows. The primary purpose of this proposal is to continue this training program in which students can acquire the didactic and research experiences needed to successfully pursue a collaborative post-graduate career in cancer prevention and control. To achieve this goal, the proposed program will take advantage of a unique set of existing training opportunities resulting from the cooperative activities of the AZCC, the University of Arizona and our sister, minority university, Northern Arizona University. This training program will use the infrastructure provided by the R25T to continue to expand a successful fellowship program whose graduates have gone on to launch successful research careers in cancer prevention and control. The proposed program enables R25T fellows to obtain expertise in cancer prevention and control research through: 1) curriculum-based training; 2) strong AZCC CPC leadership; 3) specialized interdisciplinary research experiences in multiple disease sites; and 4) the NCI-funded faculty mentoring team. The research environment at the AZCC allows for a rich and unique training experience, which includes numerous opportunities in basic science, applied and translational research, an inter- and multi-disciplinary environment. The R25T Program Directors work closely with CPC faculty mentors to form a cohesive team for the individualized training of our postdoctoral fellows. The R25T Advisory Committee has the responsibility to ensure that fellows are selected carefully and monitored consistently throughout the fellowship. There is a need within the field of cancer prevention and control for scientists able to work and thrive in multi- and inter-disciplinary teams. Accordingly, the AZCC R25T training program exposes fellows to the breadth of disciplines within CPC while enabling them to focus on a primary research project from which to base future grant applications and publications. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The AZCC R25T Cancer Prevention and Control Training Program was first funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in 1998. The program supports 4 postdoctoral fellows annually. The AZCC R25T Program was developed to train qualified candidates in a diverse experiential environment within the University of Arizona Cancer Prevention and Control Program (CPC) at the Arizona Cancer Center (AZCC). The Fellowship Program is directed by David S. Alberts, M.D., Iman Hakim M.D., Ph.D., and Elena Martinez, Ph.D. The broader goal of this R25T training program has been to create a rigorous multidisciplinary research training program that attracts highly qualified postdoctoral candidates and offers them the academic and research experience that supports a successful and productive career in cancer prevention and control. This training program has been designed to expose postdoctoral fellows to the broad array of scientific disciplines that contribute to the field of cancer prevention and control, including epidemiology, biostatistics, nutritional science, behavioral science, cancer biology, and clinical medicine, while fostering the fellows' excellence in their areas of primary research. R25T Fellows, selected from a range of primary disciplines relevant to cancer prevention and control (CPC), will be grounded in a multidisciplinary approach to cancer prevention and control through formal coursework, seminar series, workshops, conferences, interactions with mentors, and activities that are focused around the fellow's primary research project. The training program includes clear primary and secondary scientific and academic goals, constructive scientific criticism from top-level mentors, and support for presentation and publication of results. Mentoring is a key component of the fellowship program. The primary mentor is identified during the application process; primary mentors will have the lead mentoring role throughout the training of R25T fellows. All research, training, and career development activities are overseen by a mentoring team. R25T faculty mentors each have extensive training and research experience and offer fellows the necessary direction to successfully complete a mentored research project as well as to establish a career in cancer prevention and control. The primary mentors in the program all participate as principal investigators on a number of externally funded research projects. In addition to the mentoring team, the R25T program has an Advisory Committee that provides an additional level of mentoring and training oversight. This committee reviews the progress of each fellow and provides recommendations and guidance to further ensure the success of each fellow accepted into this program. To support the multidisciplinary training of young investigators, the training program requires that fellows engage in a primary research project and engage coursework in cancer prevention disciplines in which they may have had minimal exposure during their graduate careers. Fellows are also required to attend the CPC seminar series, which exposes them to a wide variety of research topics and disciplines in the field. Additionally, fellows are required to submit their work for presentation and publication, attend scientific and career development meetings, and develop a grant proposal for research funding. At completion of the program, we expect that all R25T fellows are prepared to proceed to successful and productive careers contributing to decreases in morbidity of and mortality from cancer.

描述（由申请人提供）：亚利桑那州癌症中心（AZCC）的癌症预防和控制计划（CPC）计划开发了一种高度多学科的环境，可以在其中培训博士后研究员。该提案的主要目的是继续该培训计划，在该计划中，学生可以成功地从事癌症预防和控制领域的协作研究生职业所需的教学和研究经验。为了实现这一目标，拟议的计划将利用AZCC，亚利桑那大学和我们姐姐少数族裔大学北亚利桑那大学合作活动所带来的独特现有培训机会。该培训计划将使用R25T提供的基础设施继续扩大成功的奖学金计划，该计划毕业于毕业生在癌症预防和控制方面的成功研究职业。拟议的计划使R25T研究员能够通过以下方式获得预防癌症和控制研究方面的专业知识：1）基于课程的培训； 2）强大的AZCC CPC领导层； 3）多种疾病部位的专门跨学科研究经验； 4）NCI资助的教师指导团队。 AZCC的研究环境提供了丰富而独特的培训经验，其中包括基础科学，应用和翻译研究，跨学科环境的许多机会。 R25T计划董事与CPC教师导师紧密合作，组建了一个凝聚力的团队，以对我们的博士后研究员进行个性化培训。 R25T咨询委员会有责任确保在整个奖学金过程中仔细选择研究员并始终如一地监控。在癌症预防和控制领域内，有必要在多学科和跨学科团队中工作和壮成长的科学家。因此，AZCC R25T培训计划将研究员暴露于CPC内的学科广度，同时使他们能够专注于一个主要的研究项目，从而从中基于未来的赠款申请和出版物。 公共卫生相关性：AZCC R25T癌症预防和控制培训计划于1998年首次由国家癌症研究所（NCI）资助。该计划每年支持4个博士后研究员。 AZCC R25T计划的制定是为了在亚利桑那州癌症中心（AZCC）的亚利桑那州癌症预防与控制计划（CPC）内的多种体验环境中培训合格的候选人。奖学金计划由M.D. David S. Alberts，Iman Hakim M.D.博士和博士Elena Martinez执导。该R25T培训计划的更广泛的目标是创建一个严格的多学科研究培训计划，该计划吸引了高素质的博士后候选人，并为他们提供了学术和研究经验，以支持癌症预防和控制方面的成功和富有成效的职业。该培训计划旨在使博士后研究员接触到广泛的科学学科，这些科学学科有助于预防癌症的领域，包括流行病学，生物统计学，营养科学，行为科学，癌症生物学和临床医学，同时促进了家伙在主要研究领域的卓越性。 从与癌症预防和控制相关的一系列主要学科中选择的R25T研究员将通过正式的课程，研讨会，研讨会，研讨会，会议，与导师的互动以及集中在该研究员的主要研究项目围绕的多学科预防和控制癌症的方法中。该培训计划包括明确的初级和次要科学和学术目标，高级导师的建设性科学批评，以及支持结果和发布结果。指导是奖学金计划的关键组成部分。在申请过程中确定了主要导师；在R25T研究员的整个培训中，主要导师将扮演主导角色。所有研究，培训和职业发展活动均由指导团队监督。 R25T教师指导每个人都有广泛的培训和研究经验，并为研究员提供了成功完成指导研究项目以及建立癌症预防和控制职业的必要方向。该计划的主要导师都作为主要研究人员参与了许多外部资助的研究项目。除指导团队外，R25T计划还设有一个咨询委员会，该委员会提供了额外的指导和培训监督。该委员会审查了每个研究员的进步，并提供了建议和指导，以进一步确保每个接受者接受该计划的成功。 为了支持年轻研究人员的多学科培训，该培训计划要求研究员从事一个主要研究项目，并参与预防癌症预防学科的课程，在这些学科中，他们在研究生职业期间可能遭受最少的接触。研究员还必须参加CPC研讨会系列，这使他们暴露于该领域的各种研究主题和学科。此外，研究员必须提交其作品以进行演讲和出版，参加科学和职业发展会议，并制定一项研究资金赠款。该计划完成后，我们预计所有R25T研究员都准备从事成功和富有成效的职业，从而有助于降低癌症的发病率和死亡率。
