post-doctoral research fellowships are available at the University
of Arizona Cancer Center in Tucson, AZ. The T32 Program offers a
multi-disciplinary mentored environment integrating behavioral to
biological science research focused on cancer disparities and
understanding and preventing cancer. The traineeship provides
preparation for an individual who wishes to pursue an independent
academic research career in cancer health disparities that
contribute to decreases in cancer morbidity and mortality in
underserved populations. The trainee will work with established
investigators and will be expected to engage in a research project;
develop research proposals; produce two to three publications per
year; and work with a multidisciplinary team. The Program includes
a structured curriculum in CPC and health disparities sciences
while supporting individualized career development plans. The
training program design supports trainee outcomes including
independence in research and high productivity in academically
relevant metrics of success (grants, manuscripts and scientific
presentations). The Program is based on strong mentorship from a
faculty representing diverse disciplines and deep experience
working in diverse populations. Program evaluation is
operationalized throughout the training to assure ongoing quality
improvement. Specific fellowship activities of the training plan
include: 1) Completion of required elements of the core curriculum
and elective curriculum elements tailored to meet each postdoctoral
Fellow s training and professional goals; 2) Participation in
mentored research experiences; 3) Submission and publication of
peer-reviewed journal articles; 4) Presentation of work at
scientific conferences; and 5) Preparation and submission of a
research proposal for funding. This training program aims to
address the needs of our State s unique population, including high
numbers of Hispanic and American Indian residents, rural and border
communities, aging population, and areas of persisting poverty.
This distinctive geographic location along with our strong
community ties, university partnerships, CPC postdoctoral training
history, and university infrastructure and resources uniquely
position us to continue to expand the next generation of diverse
CPC researchers focused on reducing health disparities and working
with underserved communities. The UA Cancer Center T32 program has
a dedicated support staff person who works with prospective
applicants during the application period and orients new Fellows
around opportunities related to CPC-relevant grants and workshops,
University of Arizona coursework, travel support, completing
Individual Development Plans, and building a mentorship team. She
facilitates weekly health disparity training for T32 Fellows on
topics such as grant writing and management, NIH Biosketch
development, and library and pre-award resources, and also leads
regular writing workshops. Highlights:
