PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Yale Cancer Prevention and Control (CPC) Training Program requests five years of support for an innovative, multi-disciplinary and translational training program at the Yale School of Public Health (YSPH) and Yale Cancer Center (YCC). Currently, Yale only has one T32 training grant in cancer research, and it focuses on cancer biology training for basic scientists. Given the long history of successful CPC research and training by Yale faculty, and a critical need to train outstanding CPC scientists to advance our fight against cancer, we are excited to re-establish a CPC Training Program at Yale. Our Yale CPC Training Program will leverage strength from a Pre-Doctoral Program within YSPH, and a Post-Doctoral Program within YCC that draws from many disciplines but is administratively housed within YSPH. The Yale Cancer Prevention and Control (CPC) Training Program aims to educate, train and mentor pre- and post-doctoral fellows in five thematic areas critical to CPC: cancer etiology, cancer outcomes, lifestyle behavioral interventions, implementation science and community-engaged research. These five areas were selected because they are critical domains in the spectrum of CPC research, they leverage strengths of our faculty, and they will ensure that T32 trainees with diverse interests will achieve pivotal growth through the program and become leaders in novel, impactful CPC research. Fellows will also directly participate and interact with the seven YCC Research Programs and 14 YCC Disease-Aligned Research Teams, which are composed of scientists and clinicians conducting cancer research and delivering cancer care. Fellows will work with 22 Yale CPC Training Program Primary Faculty members, who collectively have expertise in our five thematic areas. The Primary Faculty members come from 13 different departments across Yale, and have trained 50 pre-doctoral and 126 post-doctoral fellows over the last ten years, with a strong majority working in cancer-related careers. The 22 Primary Faculty currently have more than a combined $25M of research funds. Our training program will include a comprehensive mentoring program, participation in active CPC research internships/rotations through the five thematic areas, a structured CPC Fellows Seminar Course, and additional integration with resources from Yale. Our program will select the most highly qualified and diverse candidates who wish to pursue a career in cancer prevention and control, and numerous procedures have been put in place to ensure the recruitment, quality mentorship, and retention of under-represented minority fellows. At the conclusion of their training, it is our goal that individuals supported by this T32 will have developed the knowledge and skills necessary to function independently, and that they will develop and carry out innovative, impactful studies filling key gaps in CPC research, potentially changing the standard of care and impacting policy. Ultimately, public health will benefit through the preparation of an exceptional cadre of investigators committed to careers in cancer prevention and control.

项目概要/摘要 耶鲁大学癌症预防和控制 (CPC) 培训计划要求提供五年的支持 耶鲁大学公共卫生学院 (YSPH) 的创新、多学科和转化培训计划以及 耶鲁大学癌症中心 (YCC)。目前，耶鲁大学在癌症研究方面只有一项 T32 培训补助金，其重点是 对基础科学家进行癌症生物学培训。鉴于中国共产党研究和培训的成功历史 耶鲁大学教员的共同努力，以及培养优秀中共科学家以推进我们抗击癌症的迫切需要，我们 很高兴能在耶鲁大学重新建立 CPC 培训计划。我们的耶鲁 CPC 培训计划将利用 YSPH 内的博士前项目和 YCC 内的博士后项目的优势来自于 许多学科，但行政上属于 YSPH。耶鲁大学癌症预防与控制 (CPC) 培训计划旨在教育、培训和指导五个主题领域的博士前和博士后研究员 对 CPC 至关重要：癌症病因、癌症结果、生活方式行为干预、实施科学 和社区参与的研究。选择这五个领域是因为它们是 CPC 研究的范围，他们利用我们教师的优势，他们将确保 T32 学员 不同的兴趣将通过该计划实现关键增长，并成为新颖、有影响力的 CPC 的领导者 研究。研究员还将直接参与 YCC 的 7 个研究项目和 14 个项目并与之互动。 YCC 疾病相关研究团队，由从事癌症研究的科学家和临床医生组成 研究和提供癌症护理。研究员将与 22 名耶鲁大学 CPC 培训计划小学教师一起工作 成员，他们共同拥有我们五个主题领域的专业知识。主要教师来自 耶鲁大学13个不同院系，近年培养了50名博士前研究员和126名博士后 过去十年，绝大多数人从事与癌症相关的职业。 22个小学教师目前拥有 研究经费总计超过 2500 万美元。我们的培训计划将包括全面的指导 计划，通过五个主题领域参与积极的 CPC 研究实习/轮换， 结构化的中共研究员研讨会课程，以及耶鲁大学资源的额外整合。我们的计划将 选择最合格、最多样化、希望从事癌症预防和治疗工作的候选人 控制，并制定了许多程序来确保招聘、高质量的指导和 保留代表性不足的少数族裔研究员。在培训结束时，我们的目标是个人 在此 T32 的支持下，将具备独立运作所需的知识和技能，并且 他们将开展并开展创新的、有影响力的研究，填补 CPC 研究的关键空白，有可能 改变护理标准并影响政策。最终，公共卫生将受益于 培养一支致力于癌症预防和控制事业的杰出研究人员队伍。
