In 1988, the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Cancer Prevention and Control Training Program (CPCTP) was established under an R25 mechanism and has trained 154 pre- and post-doctoral fellows over the past 28 years. Located in the Deep South, an area marked by poverty and health disparities, the CPCTP provides a critical bridge for students from diverse and disadvantaged backgrounds who seek research careers in cancer prevention and control. Currently, 55% of CPCTP trainees are underserved minorities, and 65% are female. Consonant with NCI's mission to address the nation's behavioral, biomedical, and clinical research needs for a diverse workforce (PAR-16-152), we seek to transition our CPCTP to a T32 mechanism, so that we can continue to prepare a diverse pool of highly-trained scientists who have made a major career commitment to cancer prevention and control research (3 pre- & 3 post-doctoral fellows in years 1-2, and 4- pre & 4- post doctoral fellows in years 3-5, with a planned duration of 3-years for each appointment). Over 90% of graduates from our current cycle are actively engaged in research careers showing success. Our proposed T32 adds many novel components to the CPCTP, while retaining those that have been key to our success, e.g., our team science multidisciplinary approach and strong team mentorship from 32 faculty who are members of the Cancer Control and Population Sciences and Cancer Chemoprevention Programs of the UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC) - one of the nation's first 7 NCI-designated CCCs. Our efforts are supported by a solid financial commitment by the UABCCC and our proposed aims are to: 1) recruit, educate, train and evaluate pre- and postdoctoral fellows from diverse academic disciplines to conduct interdisciplinary research in cancer prevention and control; 2) recruit a diverse cadre of well-qualified trainees who include members of minority groups, (i.e., African-Americans, Latinos/ Hispanics, and other disadvantaged groups), and capitalize on UAB's networks and resources to promote research in health disparities within the framework of cancer prevention and control; 3)provide a specialized core didactic and tailored research curricula and rich learning opportunities in cancer prevention and control (e.g., seminars, grant preparation/mock reviews), that complement (not duplicate) other UAB training programs; 4) foster the development of independent research careers in cancer prevention and control through mentoring by senior faculty who have established track records in funded research; 5) further the development of all trainees via additional coursework, additional degrees (i.e., MSPH), and obtaining independent research fellowships or career awards (e.g., F31/32, K99, DP5); 6) educate our trainees in the Responsible Conduct of Research and in areas of professional development that will enhance their future successes in research careers at universities, private institutions, or within the federal government; and 7) emphasize interdisciplinary research training (team science) to enable trainees to gain competence in at least two research areas and enhance their future ability to collaborate with professionals in other areas.

1988年，阿拉巴马大学伯明翰（UAB）癌症预防与控制培训计划 （CPCTP）建立在R25机制下，并培训了154名前后研究员 过去28年。 CPCTP位于深南地区，以贫困和健康差异为标志 为来自寻求研究职业的不同背景和弱势背景的学生提供了关键的桥梁 在癌症预防和控制中。目前，有55％的CPCTP受训人员是服务不足的少数民族，而65％ 女性。与NCI的任务辅音，旨在解决该国的行为，生物医学和临床研究 对多元化劳动力的需求（Par-16-152），我们试图将CPCTP过渡到T32机制，以便我们 可以继续准备一群训练有素的科学家，他们做出了重大的职业承诺 预防和控制研究（在1 - 2年内3年前和第3次博士后研究员，以及4-前和4-邮政 3 - 5年的博士研究员，每次约会的计划为3年）。超过90％的毕业生 从我们目前的周期中，积极从事成功的研究职业。我们提出的T32添加了 CPCTP的许多新颖组成部分，同时保留那些是我们成功的关键的组件，例如我们 来自32位教职员工的团队科学多学科方法和强大的团队指导 UAB综合的癌症控制和人口科学和癌症化学预防计划 癌症中心（CCC） - 美国第一个NCI指定的CCC之一。我们的努力得到了坚实的支持 UABCCC和我们提议的目标是：1）招募，教育，培训和评估 来自各种学科的学科前和博士后研究员，从事癌症跨学科研究 预防和控制； 2）招募包括少数民族成员的合格学员的多样化干部 群体（即非裔美国人，拉丁美洲人/西班牙裔和其他弱势群体），并利用UAB的 网络和资源以促进预防癌症框架内健康差异的研究 和控制； 3）提供专门的核心教学和量身定制的研究课程和丰富的学习机会 在癌症预防和控制方面（例如，研讨会，授予准备/模拟评论），这是补充（不是 重复）其他UAB培训计划； 4）促进癌症独立研究事业的发展 通过由高级教师指导的预防和控制，他们在资助 研究; 5）进一步通过额外的课程，额外的学位（即MSPH），进一步发展所有学员 并获得独立的研究奖学金或职业奖项（例如F31/32，K99，DP5）； 6）教育我们 负责研究和专业发展领域的受训者将增强 他们在大学，私人机构或联邦政府内部的研究职业中取得了未来的成功； 7）强调跨学科研究培训（团队科学），使学员能够获得AT的能力 至少有两个研究领域，并增强了他们未来与其他领域的专业人员合作的能力。
