DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): With this R25t application we intend to establish an interdisciplinary research education and training program at the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS) focused on implementation research in cancer prevention and control, including tobacco, obesity, diet, physical activity, skin cancer prevention and cancer screenings. There are well-documented gaps between the discovery of knowledge in cancer prevention and control and the application of this knowledge in clinical practice, public health practice, and health policy to benefit population health. Implementation research has emerged as a multi-disciplinary field that seeks to alleviate these gaps. We propose an interdisciplinary training program for postdoctoral fellows that will promote the development of independent implementation researchers through academic training and mentored research experiences. To achieve this goal, we propose five specific aims: 1) To establish an administrative infrastructure to support implementation research education and training in cancer prevention; 2) To develop and implement educational curricula focusing on implementation research in cancer prevention with the option of receiving an MS degree specializing in implementation science; 3) To offer mentored research experiences for postdoctoral fellows in collaboration with our partnering organizations; 4) To recruit highly qualified, diverse candidates; and 5) To effectively monitor and evaluate the program. This application is a joint effort of the UMMS Division of Preventive and Behavioral Medicine and Department of Quantitative Health Sciences, in collaboration with additional departments (Family Medicine and Community Health, Psychiatry) and centers (Meyers Primary Care Institute, Prevention Research Center, Center for Health Equity Intervention Research, Health Geography Lab, Center for mHealth, Center for Tobacco Treatment and Research). Infrastructure and cross campus collaborations established through the UMass Center for Clinical and Translational Science (NIH CTSA), including the UMass Amherst Schools of Public Health and Health Sciences and Computer Science and UMass Boston, will also be leveraged. Clinical and community partners include: the Cancer Center of Excellence, the Bedford and Central MA VA Medical Centers, UMass Memorial Health Care, the Edward M. Kennedy Community Health Center, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, the NCI-sponsored Cancer Research Network and the Public Health Training Center at the UMass School of Public Health and Health Sciences. We propose to enroll two to three fellows per year. At the completion of the training program, we anticipate that fellows will establish careers as independent investigators who will focus on eliminating gaps in the translation of evidence-based cancer prevention research into practice.

描述（由申请人提供）：通过此 R25t 申请，我们打算在马萨诸塞大学医学院 (UMMS) 建立一个跨学科研究教育和培训计划，重点关注癌症预防和控制方面的实施研究，包括烟草、肥胖、饮食、身体健康等。活动、皮肤癌预防和癌症筛查。癌症预防和控制知识的发现与将这些知识应用于临床实践、公共卫生实践和卫生政策以造福人口健康之间存在着有据可查的差距。实施研究已成为一个旨在缩小这些差距的多学科领域。我们为博士后研究员提出了一个跨学科培训计划，该计划将通过学术培训和指导研究经验促进独立实施研究人员的发展。为实现这一目标，我们提出五个具体目标： 1）建立行政基础设施，支持癌症预防方面的实施研究教育和培训； 2) 制定和实施以癌症预防实施研究为重点的教育课程，并可选择获得实施科学专业硕士学位； 3）与我们的合作组织合作，为博士后研究员提供指导研究经验； 4) 招募高素质、多元化的候选人； 5) 有效地监督和评估该计划。该应用程序是 UMMS 预防和行为医学部门以及定量健康科学系与其他部门（家庭医学和社区健康、精神病学）和中心（迈耶斯初级保健研究所、预防研究中心、疾病预防控制中心）合作的成果。健康公平干预研究、健康地理实验室、移动健康中心、烟草治疗和研究中心）。还将利用通过麻省大学临床和转化科学中心（NIH CTSA）建立的基础设施和跨校园合作，包括麻省大学阿默斯特分校公共卫生和健康科学学院以及计算机科学学院和麻省大学波士顿分校。临床和社区合作伙伴包括：癌症卓越中心、贝德福德和中央马萨诸塞州退伍军人事务部医疗中心、麻省大学纪念医疗保健中心、爱德华·M·肯尼迪社区健康中心、马萨诸塞州公共卫生部、国家癌症研究所赞助的癌症研究网络和麻省大学公共卫生与健康科学学院的公共卫生培训中心。我们建议每年招收两到三名研究员。培训计划完成后，我们预计研究员将成为独立研究人员，专注于消除循证癌症预防研究转化为实践方面的差距。
