Training Grant in Epidemiology and Prevention of Breast Cancer
Abstract
We propose a training grant to recruit and train two postdoctoral students and three physicians. These trainees will acquire skills in the epidemiology and prevention of breast cancer. They will work closely with mentors who have a long track record of training epidemiologists. The funding will allow our research group to focus specific training opportunities on breast cancer. The ongoing epidemiologic studies and prevention trials offer a unique resource in which trainees can participate in cutting edge research and acquire skills that will establish them as future leaders. We have to date enrolled two postdoctoral fellows, Heather Baer and Heather Eliassen, entering the second year of training; an MD trainee, Ann Partridge, completed her first year of training and received her MPH and is now entering into the second year where she will work in research. We also have a second MD, Larissa Nekhlyadov, to begin the first year of training and we are still in the process of recruiting a third MD. We established the Advanced Cancer Epidemiology Seminar in Breast Cancer in which all trainees participated. The seminar met once per week for eight weeks this past spring and will continue again this coming spring.
