DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): For the past 4 years, the Mailman School of Public Health of Columbia University has had an NCI-funded R25T Training Program for cancer investigators in Population Sciences. Like our longstanding T32 program, the R25 program is a collaboration of faculty in three departments: Epidemiology, Biostatistics, and Environmental Health Sciences. Increasingly, investigators in cancer-related population sciences require not only expertise in their own specific disciplines but a broad-based multidisciplinary perspective, including a more than superficial understanding of molecular genetics, clinical oncology, toxicology, health services and health outcomes research, and behavioral sciences. The R25 provides 6 trainees (3 pre- and 3 postdoctoral) annually with cross-disciplinary education in cancer prevention and control, an in-depth research experience, and access to a large faculty in the population sciences with numerous funded research projects in cancer. Graduates of the program have gone on to prestigious academic and research positions. In this competing renewal, we propose to extend our program by providing more training in clinical cancer genetics, health economics, and the basic biology of cancer. In addition to required and recommended courses within the School of Public Health, our program offers an innovative specialized curriculum, with 2-month individualized modules in year 2 giving trainees hands-on experience in: data collection and interviewing in a clinical setting; behavioral research; laboratory research; health services and outcomes; clinical oncology, and data analysis. Each trainee is required to take courses in pathology, research ethics, and research funding; to undertake an in-depth multidisciplinary project with a focus in his/her specialty; and to make two presentations/year at a multidisciplinary weekly conference. Trainees have the opportunity to attend cancer meetings and meetings in their discipline and are encouraged but not required to make presentations at those meetings. Postdoctoral trainees are required to submit research grant proposals for mock peer review by the faculty. For this specialized program, we propose to reduce our trainees from 6 (3 pre-, 3 postdoctoral) to 5 (1 pre-, 4 postdoctoral); to add a Program Coordinator for day-to- day operations; to implement a more detailed evaluation plan; and to add to our Advisory Committee, which oversees recruitment, performance and evaluation of the trainees, an external advisory committee of three outstanding scientist/educators. Our R25 Training Program utilizes the rich research environment of the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center, New York Presbyterian Hospital, Harlem Hospital, the Washington Heights/Harlem communities, and New York City.

描述（由申请人提供）：在过去的4年中，哥伦比亚大学邮政公共卫生学院已为人口科学领域的癌症研究人员提供了NCI资助的R25T培训计划。像我们长期以来的T32计划一样，R25计划是三个部门的教师合作：流行病学，生物统计学和环境健康科学。与癌症相关的人群科学领域的研究人员越来越多，不仅需要其自身特定学科的专业知识，而且还需要基于广泛的多学科观点，包括对分子遗传学，临床肿瘤学，毒理学，卫生服务和健康成果研究以及行为科学的肤浅了解不仅仅是对分子遗传学，临床肿瘤学，毒理学，卫生服务和健康成果。 R25每年提供6名受训者（3个前和3名博士后），并在癌症预防和控制中提供跨学科教育，深入研究经验，并在人群科学中获得大量教师，并拥有众多癌症资助的研究项目。该计划的毕业生继续担任著名的学术和研究职位。 在这种竞争的续约中，我们建议通过提供更多有关临床癌症遗传学，健康经济学和癌症基本生物学的培训来扩展我们的计划。除了在公共卫生学院内的必需课程和推荐课程外，我们的计划还提供了创新的专业课程，在2年级的2个月个性化模块提供了2个月的个性化模块，从而为受训者提供了动手实践经验：数据收集和在临床环境中进行面试；行为研究；实验室研究；卫生服务和结果；临床肿瘤学和数据分析。每个学员都必须参加病理学，研究伦理和研究资金的课程；进行深入的多学科项目，重点是他/她的专业；并在多学科每周会议上进行两次演讲。学员有机会在他们的学科中参加癌症会议和会议，并鼓励但不需要在这些会议上进行演讲。博士后学员必须提交研究赠款建议，以进行模拟同伴审查。对于这个专业计划，我们建议将学员从6个（3个前，3个博士后）减少到5（1个前，4个博士后）；为日常运营添加计划协调员；实施更详细的评估计划；并加入我们的咨询委员会，该委员会监督受训者的招聘，绩效和评估，这是由三位杰出科学家/教育工作者组成的外部咨询委员会。我们的R25培训计划利用了赫伯特·欧文（Herbert Irving）综合癌症中心，纽约长老会医院，哈林医院，华盛顿高地/哈林社区和纽约市的丰富研究环境。
