Training Grant in Epidemiology and Prevention of Breast Cancer
Abstract
The researchers proposed a training grant to recruit and train two postdoctoral students and three physicians, but have been able to extend that number to four postdoctoral students and four physician trainees. 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 the research group to focus specific training opportunities on breast cancer. The ongoing epidemiologic studies and prevention trials offer unique venues in which trainees can participate in cutting-edge research and acquire skills that will establish them as future leaders. As of the end date of this award, the researchers have successfully jettisoned the careers of four doctoral students and four physicians. As a result of this award, the seminar established to explore specialized topics in depth is permanent and will be offered every spring through the Epidemiology Department at the Harvard School of Public Health.
