Research Training in Bipsychosocial Breast Cancer Research
Abstract
This report summarizes activities and accomplishments during the first year of a four year predoctoral and postdoctoral research training program in biopsychosocial aspects of breast cancer. Two predoctoral trainees were appointed during the initial year of the training program. Research training was provided by a multidisciplinary faculty of six. The training program consists of five integrated components. These include: (1) training in research design, methods, and analysis through supervised participation in BC-related research; (2) formal coursework; (3) individual tutorial in BC-related research; (4) participation in a monthly BC seminar; and (5) education regarding biological and medical aspects of BC. Each of these components was effectively implemented during the initial year of the training program. In general, the training program requires trainees to participate in all phases of the research enterprise including protocol development, obtaining approval for use of human subjects, data collection, data preparation, entry, and analysis, and manuscript preparation. Two new predoctoral trainees and a postdoctoral trainee were recruited and were appointed to the training program for the second project year.
