Building capacity of researchers and practitioners in the dissemination and implementation (D&I) of evidence-based interventions is greatly needed to improve cancer prevention and control. A diverse workforce trained in D&I science is critical for improving cancer outcomes and reducing cancer-related health disparities. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network (CPCRN) Scholars Program aimed at training students, researchers, and practitioners in D&I for cancer prevention and control launched in 2021. The purpose of this paper is to describe the creation of the training program, curriculum, and evaluation plans, and to present the baseline results and lessons learned. CPCRN investigator and partner input and formative interviews (n = 16) with assistant professors, postdoctoral fellow, doctoral and undergraduate students, and a program manager guided development of the program. Twenty of 24 applicants were accepted into the inaugural year of the program. The majority of accepted scholars identified as female (80%) and were graduate students (50%). Thirty-five percent were of racially diverse backgrounds. Most self-rated their previous D&I experience and competencies at a beginner level. The multi-step approach used for development of this training program and lessons learned will be helpful for others collaborating on preparing the research and practice workforce in D&I science.

提高研究人员和从业人员在传播和实施循证干预措施 (D&I) 方面的能力对于改善癌症预防和控制非常重要。在 D&I 科学方面受过培训的多元化劳动力对于改善癌症结果和减少与癌症相关的健康差异至关重要。美国疾病控制和预防中心 (CDC) 的癌症预防和控制研究网络 (CPCRN) 学者计划旨在培训学生、研究人员和从业者，并于 2021 年启动癌症预防和控制的 D&I。本文的目的是描述制定培训计划、课程和评估计划，并展示基线结果和经验教训。CPCRN 调查员和合作伙伴的意见和与助理教授的形成性访谈 (n = 16)，博士后研究员、博士生和本科生以及一名项目经理指导了该项目的开发。24 名申请者中有 20 人被该计划的第一年录取。大多数被录取的学者被确定为女性 (80%) 并且是研究生 (50%)。百分之三十五的人具有不同的种族背景。大多数人自我评价他们以前的 D&I 经验和能力处于初学者水平。用于开发此培训计划的多步骤方法和吸取的经验教训将有助于其他人合作准备 D&I 科学的研究和实践劳动力。大多数被录取的学者被确定为女性 (80%) 并且是研究生 (50%)。百分之三十五的人具有不同的种族背景。大多数人自我评价他们以前的 D&I 经验和能力处于初学者水平。用于开发此培训计划的多步骤方法和吸取的经验教训将有助于其他人合作准备 D&I 科学的研究和实践劳动力。大多数被录取的学者被确定为女性 (80%) 并且是研究生 (50%)。百分之三十五的人具有不同的种族背景。大多数人自我评价他们以前的 D&I 经验和能力处于初学者水平。用于开发此培训计划的多步骤方法和吸取的经验教训将有助于其他人合作准备 D&I 科学的研究和实践劳动力。
