项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Following the rapid economic development and the severe environmental deterioration during the past three decades, human cancer risk has been increasing rapidly in China. Cancer now is the number one killer in China and the costs for cancer treatment in 2006 reached more than 20% of the annual total medical costs in China, and this number is actually considered to be seriously underestimated. Facing the grave consequence of the ever increasing cancer burden in China; realizing that nationwide deterioration in environmental conditions and human health could jeopardize the economic development, the Chinese government has taken major steps to prevent and control cancer. China, however, faces many challenges in confronting and battling the war against cancer. One of the major shortcomings for cancer prevention and control in China today is the severe lack of well-trained personnel in all major areas of cancer studies. The primary goal of this application is to secure the resources necessary to build a center of excellence in research and teaching in cancer studies within the Cancer Institute, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CI-CAMS, the designated China National Cancer Center), which is mandated by the central government to be responsible for China's cancer prevention and control. The resources will be used to (1) train scientists urgently needed in the CI-CAMS to develop appropriate strategies to better understand and more effectively respond to the emerging threat from the increasing cancer burden in China; (2) build an infrastructure that will allow CI-CAMS to function as a national center for teaching and research in cancer-related studies; and (3) strengthen China's National Cancer Registration Office to function as a national center of excellence for coordinating and monitoring China's cancer registration. The training goals will be achieved through trainees, selected from faculty and existing pre/post-doctoral programs at CI-CAMS, who will receive education and mentoring at Yale School of Public Health (YSPH) through long-term/intermediate/short-term training or workshops and internet-based tutorial system. The training will emphasize principles and methods in major areas of cancer epidemiology and biostatistics. This training program will be administered by a Program Faculty with representation from both CI-CAMS and Yale University. Yale University, YSPH in particular, has a strong history of prior research and training collaborations with China. We anticipate that trainees of this program will be uniquely qualified to be future leaders in the field of cancer research in China. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (None entered)

描述（由申请人提供）：在过去的三十年中，经济发展迅速和严重的环境恶化之后，中国人类癌症的风险一直在迅速增加。癌症现在是中国排名第一的杀手，2006年的癌症治疗成本达到了中国年度医疗费用的20％以上，实际上被认为被认为被严重低估了。面对中国癌症负担不断增加的严重后果；意识到全国范围内的环境状况和人类健康状况恶化可能会危害经济发展，中国政府已采取了重大步骤来预防和控制癌症。然而，中国面临与癌症战争的许多挑战。当今中国预防癌症和控制的主要缺点之一是在癌症研究的所有主要领域中严重缺乏训练有素的人员。该应用程序的主要目的是确保在中国医学科学院（CI-CAMS，指定的中国国家癌症中心）中，在癌症研究所内建立卓越研究和教学中心所需的资源，中央政府要求负责中国的癌症预防和控制。资源将用于（1）CI-CAM中急需培训科学家，以制定适当的策略，以更好地理解并更有效地应对中国癌症负担增加的新兴威胁；（2）建立一个基础设施，该基础设施将使CI-CAM能够充当与癌症有关的研究中的国家教学中心；（3）加强中国国家癌症注册办公室，是国家协调和监测中国癌症注册的国家卓越中心。培训目标将通过学员，从CI-CAMS的教师和现有前/博士后计划中选出，他们将通过长期/中级/短期/短期培训或研讨会和基于Internet的Tutorial System在耶鲁公共卫生学院（YSPH）接受教育和指导。该培训将强调癌症流行病学和生物统计学主要领域的原理和方法。该培训计划将由一个计划教师管理，并由CI-CAM和耶鲁大学代表。尤其是YSPH的耶鲁大学，在与中国的先前研究和培训合作方面拥有悠久的历史。我们预计该计划的学员将具有独特的资格成为中国癌症研究领域的未来领导者。公共卫生相关性（没有输入）
