Exciting New Training Opportunity for Doctoral and Post-Doctoral Nursing Education in Cancer Survivorship Research

Cancer survivorship research is dedicated to the physical, psychological and social challenges faced by cancer survivors and their families as a result of their diagnosis and treatment. The oncology faculty from the University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing are pleased to announce the availability of an Interdisciplinary Training Program for Nurse Scientists in Cancer Survivorship Research (T32 NRO11972) funded by the National Institute of Nursing Research. The goal of this T-32 is to prepare nurse scientists to lead independent programs of theory-based research in cancer survivorship. This is the only training effort of its kind specifically devoted to oncology nursing in the U.S.  This award will support the training of both pre-doctoral and post-doctoral fellows.  Pre-doctoral trainees can be enrolled in either our BSN to PhD Program or our MSN to PhD Program.

Each trainee will participate in a rigorous training program in which they will work with oncology nurse scientists with outstanding records of conducting critical, multidisciplinary studies in cancer survivorship. The oncology faculty include Drs. Catherine Bender, Susan Cohen, Heidi Donovan, Margaret Rosenzweig, and Paula Sherwood. Trainees will also have the opportunity to work with training faculty from multiple disciplines from across the Schools of the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University and from the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute. In addition, trainees will complete individualized academic curricula comprised of coursework, seminars, journal clubs and a visiting scholar series focused on the trainee’s goals and research focus.
For specific information about our training program and the application process please contact Catherine Bender, PhD, RN, FAAN, Program Director at cbe100@pitt.edu or 412-624-3594.
