Predoctoral Research Training Program in Biopsychosocial Aspects of Breast Cancer.
Abstract
This report summarizes activities and accomplishments during the fourth and final year of a predoctoral research training grant in biopsychosocial breast cancer research. Three trainees were supported during this final year. Research training was supported by a multidisciplinary faculty of six. All training faculty and trainees participated in a monthly breast cancer seminar which allowed for oversight of trainee activities and discussion of ongoing and anticipated breast cancer-related research projects. During the year, trainees participated in a variety of communal and individual breast cancer-related research projects under the supervision of training faculty. During the year, trainees participated in all phases of the research process including protocol development, obtaining approval for human subjects use, data collection, data preparation, entry, and analysis, and manuscript preparation. A total of six trainees were supported during the four years of the training program. These six trainees were primary authors or co- authors on a total of 16 peer-reviewed publications with 9 additional manuscripts under review. The six trainees also delivered 9 oral presentations and 23 poster presentations at professional conferences. The training program was highly successful in providing breast cancer research training for future behavioral science researchers but also stimulated biopsychosocial breast cancer-related research, in general, at the host institution.
