View Award Description

Cancer Research Training Program in Tanzania (CRTP-TZ) - PROJECT SUMMARY East Africa faces unprecedented growth in cancer burden and is inadequately prepared to meet this population health crisis. In the context of limited resources, it is imperative that policies are evidence-based and target cancers with highest incidence, morbidity, and mortality rates in the local region. As cancer prevention and control programs in Tanzania and East Africa continue to develop, trained human resources for research and cancer care will be critical to sustain and expand these efforts. As a regional training hub, Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS) is uniquely positioned to play a major role in building capacity for cancer research in Tanzania and the East Africa region at large. Building upon a shared commitment to improving health outcomes through education and mentoring, MUHAS and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) propose to strengthen and expand the existing Cancer Research Training Program in Tanzania (CRTP-TZ). Our overarching goal is to train and mentor a multi-disciplinary cadre of investigators in East Africa who are capable of conceptualizing, achieving funding for, implementing, analyzing and publishing original research focused on cancer. Our hypothesis is that East African investigators will create and lead an impactful and thriving hub of cancer research if proper attention is given to selection, provision of high-quality foundational didactic training, mentorship, curation of a conducive environment, and professional development. The immediate objectives of this renewal application for the CRTP-TZ are: (1) to expand our cadre of research Scholars originating from Tanzania and other countries in East Africa who are diverse in discipline and who are likely to build successful academic research careers related to cancer control science; (2) to provide rigorous, interdisciplinary training in cancer research methods; and (3) to provide each Scholar with sustained mentorship and professional development opportunities that foster both scientific and career advancement. We propose a training model which leverages existing resources in Tanzania and supplements with rigorous, high-quality coursework and sustained mentorship from UCSF. Specifically, we propose a training program with three unique pathways, which avail flexibility to build upon pre-existing competencies and the need to align training opportunities with individual career goals. We will provide sustained mentorship and a professional development curriculum for Scholars in each of the three training pathways. In summary, we intend to train a multi-disciplinary cadre of cancer researchers within East Africa who will enhance cancer control through performance of high-quality research and development of sustainable and comprehensive African-led research programs.
