Research Training in Biopsychosocial Breast Cancer Research
Abstract
This report summarizes accomplishments for the 4th year of a 4 year training program in biopsychosocial breast cancer (BC) research. Two trainees (1 postdoctoral; 1 predoctoral) were reappointed to the training program for the period 7/2002 through 6/2003. Two other trainees (1 postdoctoral; 1 predoctoral) were newly appointed to the training program during the project year. Research training was furnished by a multidisciplinary faculty of 6. The training program consists of 5 components, all of which were implemented during 2002-2003. All trainees participated in a biweekly seminar enabling oversight of trainee activities, didactic presentation of clinical aspects of BC, and discussion of ongoing and anticipated BC-related research projects. Trainees also received supervised guidance in all phases of the research enterprise. Specifically, trainees participated in: (1) development and implementation of 1 group research project and 2 trainee-specific research projects; (2) ongoing data collection, preparation, and analysis for 1 other ongoing group project; and (3) manuscript preparation for 2 completed research projects. A no-cost extension of the training program for a 5% project year was requested and approved and 1 new predoctoral trainee was recruited and appointed for 2003-2004.
