项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of this competing renewal application for the Cancer Care Quality Training Program (CCQTP) is to train additional clinician and non-clinician scientists to work collaboratively in multidisciplinary research teams to improve cancer care quality. The need for an expanded scientific workforce engaged in cancer care quality research is evident. Poor quality cancer care in the forms of overuse, underuse, and misuse exists for all major forms of cancer and occurs across the cancer care continuum. Moreover, significant variations in cancer care quality have been found across practice sites, geographic regions, and patient populations. Given the complexity of cancer itself, and the multidisciplinary nature of cancer care, efforts to improve cancer care quality within the constraints of a single discipline or specialty are likely to produce partial solutions or limited effects. In the past fie years, opportunities for improving cancer care quality through multidisciplinary research have substantially increased. To respond to these opportunities, we must increase the scientific workforce engaged in cancer care quality research and train this workforce to function effectively in multidisciplinary research teams. Over the next five years, the CCQTP will train 10 clinician and non-clinician scientists who have not only the passion to improve cancer care quality, but also the knowledge, skills, and experience to do so in multidisciplinary research teams. To accomplish this goal, the CCQTP will recruit outstanding pre-doctoral and post-doctoral candidates from diverse disciplines and provide them with a specialized curriculum and hands-on research experience that leverages the faculty and research resources that are uniquely available at UNC-Chapel Hill. In its first four years of operation, the CCQTP has received far more applications than available positions. Four post-doctoral fellows and six pre-doctoral fellows have participated in the specialized curriculum and engaged in mentored research projects in cancer care quality. Consistent with the program's multidisciplinary focus, fellows have come from a variety of disciplines and specialties, including social work, health behavior, decision science, health economics, nursing, sociology/organization studies, and health services research. Of the four post-doctoral fellows, two have completed their training and are now employed in academic settings. Of the six pre-doctoral fellows, one has completed her training with a doctoral degree in Year 2 and two others will complete their training with doctoral degrees in late Year 4. One of these two will move into a post-doctoral fellowship, while the other will be employed in an industry setting. CCQTP fellows have been productive scholars. In Years 1-4, fellows and their mentors collaborated on 28 publications, 14 of which the program participant served as first author. In Years 6-10, the CCQTP will add a multidisciplinary seminar in comparative effectiveness research to the specialized curriculum and connect fellows with newly developed data resources, training opportunities, and intramural (pilot) funding programs available at UNC-Chapel Hill to support cancer care quality research.

描述（由申请人提供）：癌症护理质量培训计划 (CCQTP) 的竞争更新申请的目的是培训更多的临床医生和非临床科学家在多学科研究团队中协作，以提高癌症护理质量。显然，需要扩大从事癌症护理质量研究的科学队伍。所有主要形式的癌症都存在以过度使用、使用不足和滥用等形式出现的低质量癌症护理，并且发生在整个癌症护理连续体中。此外，不同医疗地点、地理区域和患者群体的癌症护理质量存在显着差异。考虑到癌症本身的复杂性以及癌症护理的多学科性质，在单一学科或专业的限制下提高癌症护理质量的努力可能会产生部分解决方案或有限的效果。在过去的五年中，通过多学科研究提高癌症护理质量的机会大幅增加。为了应对这些机会，我们必须增加从事癌症护理质量研究的科学队伍，并培训这支队伍在多学科研究团队中有效发挥作用。未来五年，CCQTP 将培训 10 名临床医生和非临床科学家，他们不仅拥有提高癌症护理质量的热情，而且具备在多学科研究团队中实现这一目标的知识、技能和经验。为了实现这一目标，CCQTP将招募来自不同学科的优秀博士前和博士后候选人，并为他们提供专门的课程和实践研究经验，充分利用北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校独特的师资和研究资源。在其运营的头四年里，CCQTP 收到的申请远远多于可用职位。四名博士后研究员和六名博士前研究员参加了专业课程并参与了癌症护理质量方面的指导研究项目。与该项目的多学科重点一致，研究员来自不同的学科和专业，包括社会工作、健康行为、决策科学、健康经济学、护理、社会学/组织研究和健康服务研究。在四名博士后研究员中，有两人已经完成培训，现已在学术机构工作。在六名博士前研究员中，一名在第二年完成了博士学位培训，另外两名将在第四年末完成博士学位培训。其中两名将进入博士后奖学金，而另一名将在第二年完成博士学位培训。其他人将在行业环境中受雇。 CCQTP 研究员都是多产的学者。在第 1 至第 4 年，研究员及其导师合作发表了 28 篇出版物，其中项目参与者担任其中 14 篇论文的第一作者。在 6-10 年级，CCQTP 将在专业课程中增加比较有效性研究的多学科研讨会，并将研究员与北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校新开发的数据资源、培训机会和校内（试点）资助计划联系起来，以支持癌症护理质量研究。
