The Penn CECCR Fellows will obtain skills and experience to complement previous advanced work in communication, public health, behavioral science or biomedical research. Fellows with training in communication research can focus on cancer-related training; those with background in cancer research will focus on communication theory and research. Fellows will work closely with mentors in such areas as cancer epidemiology, health policy, behavioral theory, persuasion theory, risk and decision-making, psychophysiology as well as health communication. Fellows will participate in research in cancer communication using survey, experimental, and content analytic methods and will receive guidance in the preparation of manuscripts and career development grants.
