DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There is an urgent need to prepare nursing faculty to advance science addressing global health priorities and prepare the next generation of nurse clinicians and faculty. The University of Utah proposes to expand our well-established doctoral program and experience in postdoctoral training by adding formal interdisciplinary research training in cancer, aging, and end-of-life care to our foundational core curriculum. This training program will address the National Institute of Nursing Research's strategic areas including health promotion and disease prevention; improving quality of life through self-management, symptom management and caregiving; and end-of-life research. The program objectives are 1)To provide outstanding interdisciplinary didactic research training in the fundamental theories, methods, and skills necessary to conduct research in cancer, aging, and end-of-life care; 2)To facilitate the ability of predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees to develop research expertise through ongoing project-oriented research experience in cancer, aging, and end-of-life care that integrates mentoring, practical experiences, feedback, and critique; 3).To prepare postdoctoral trainees for independent academic careers as scientists in cancer, aging, and end-of-life care; and 4) To mentor all trainees in the ethical conduct of research, especially in diverse vulnerable populations, including the elderly and individuals facing serious illness and death. The University's funded interdisciplinary research program is robust and offers excellent opportunities for trainees to learn by engagement with research in action. The proposed training program is timely and leverages the opportunities to learn from three R01-level projects that comprise our Program Project Grant (P01) funded by the National Cancer Institute in 2010. This research has as its foundation an interdisciplinary approach and unites the three foci of this training program: cancer, aging, and end-of life care. Fifteen primary mentors and 15 participating faculty from eight departments will support the training. The goal of the Training Program is to recruit and train two predoctoral and two postdoctoral fellows during each of the first 4 years. We will provide at least 2 years of training to each fellow. Our goal is that a leas one predoctoral fellow each year will be enrolled in our BS-to-PhD program (these are sometimes referred to as fast- track programs). It is anticipated that a total of eight predoctoral and eight postdoctoral fellows will participate in this Training Program during the 5-year period.

描述（由申请人提供）：迫切需要培养护理人员来推进解决全球健康优先事项的科学，并培养下一代护士临床医生和教职人员。犹他大学建议通过在我们的基础核心课程中添加癌症、衰老和临终关怀方面的正式跨学科研究培训，来扩展我们完善的博士项目和博士后培训经验。该培训计划将涉及国家护理研究所的战略领域，包括健康促进和疾病预防；通过自我管理、症状管理和护理提高生活质量；和临终研究。该计划的目标是 1）提供出色的跨学科教学研究培训，涵盖进行癌症、衰老和临终关怀研究所需的基本理论、方法和技能； 2）通过在癌症、衰老和临终关怀方面持续的项目导向研究经验，整合指导、实践经验、反馈和批评，促进博士前和博士后学员发展​​研究专业知识的能力； 3).培养博士后学员作为癌症、衰老和临终关怀领域科学家的独立学术生涯； 4) 指导所有受训者进行研究的道德行为，特别是针对不同的弱势群体，包括老年人和面临严重疾病和死亡的个人。该大学资助的跨学科研究项目非常强大，为学员提供了通过参与实际研究来学习的绝佳机会。拟议的培训计划是及时的，并利用了从三个 R01 级项目中学习的机会，这些项目包括 2010 年由国家癌症研究所资助的计划项目补助金 (P01)。这项研究以跨学科方法为基础，并将三个重点结合起来该培训计划的内容包括：癌症、衰老和临终关怀。来自八个院系的 15 名主要导师和 15 名参与教师将支持培训。培训计划的目标是在前四年每年招募和培训两名博士前研究员和两名博士后研究员。我们将为每位研究员提供至少2年的培训。我们的目标是每年至少有一名博士前研究员参加我们的学士到博士项目（有时称为快速通道项目）。预计共有八名博士生 为期5年，将有8名博士后参加本次培养。
