项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY (See instructions): The Comprehensive Center of Excellence in Health Disparities at the University of Pennsylvania is proposing a multi-focused Research Training Program. This training is motivated by the critical need for researchers who can use novel methods to understand cancer health disparities, and to further translate the information resulting from this research to diminish cancer health disparities. The specific aims of this training and career development program in cancer health disparities research are to: Provide educational opportunities and training in content and methodologic techniques appropriate for cancer health disparities research; and provide supervised research experiences at multiple levels of training with mentors in cancer health disparities research. This program will provide training on a number of levels. First, will establish a monthly symposium focused on cancer health disparities research, translation, and outreach. These symposia will provide researchers, staff, community members, clinicians, students, and other interested parties an overview of current approaches to the study and elimination of cancer health disparities. Second, we will provide a short course and a credit-bearing course in health disparities-related areas that will be available to new and established researchers who are seeking additional training in health disparities. Third, we will provide competitive funding for travel to national or regional meetings for junior faculty and students to present their work in health disparities. Fourth, we will support training for undergraduate students who are involved in the SUMR program at Penn. These trainees will have intensive mentored research experiences that are intended to lead them into health disparities research careers. Finally, We will integrate closely with other training programs at Penn to develop linkages with formal coursework and degree-granting programs to enhance the training and education opportunities in disparities research. This integration will allow trainees to identify co-trainees with whom they can interact, take advantage of research resources and course training, and participate in seminars, journal clubs, and other relevant academic opportunities. These programs include the Robert Wood Johnson Health and Society Scholars program. Masters and Doctoral programs offered through the Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, and institutional training programs in cancer.

项目摘要（请参阅说明）：宾夕法尼亚大学综合健康差异卓越中心正在提出一项多重关注的研究培训计划。这项培训是由可以使用新方法理解癌症健康差异的研究人员的迫切需要的，并进一步将这项研究的信息转化为减少癌症健康差异。这项培训和职业发展方案的特定目的是癌症健康差异研究的研究是：提供适合癌症健康差异研究的内容和方法学技术的教育机会和培训；并在癌症健康差异研究中的导师中提供多个培训的监督研究经验。该计划将在许多级别上提供培训。首先，将建立一个每月专注于癌症健康差异研究，翻译和外展的研讨会。这些研讨会将为研究人员，员工，社区成员，临床医生，学生和其他兴趣团体提供有关当前研究和消除癌症健康差异的方法的概述。其次，我们将在与健康差异有关的领域提供简短的课程和信用课程既定的研究人员正在寻求额外的健康差异培训。第三，我们将为参加初级教职员工和学生提供健康差异工作的国家或地区会议的旅行提供竞争资金。第四，我们将支持参加宾夕法尼亚州SUMR计划的本科生的培训。这些学员将拥有大量的指导研究经验，旨在将他们带入健康差异研究。最后，我们将与其他宾夕法尼亚州的培训计划与正式课程和学位授予计划建立联系，以增强差异研究的培训和教育机会。这种整合将使受训者能够与他们可以与之互动，利用研究资源和课程培训的共同培训者，并参加研讨会，期刊俱乐部和其他相关的学术机会。这些计划包括罗伯特·伍德·约翰逊健康与社会学者计划。硕士和博士学位通过临床流行病学和生物统计学中心提供的计划，以及癌症的机构培训计划。
