English abstract This paper reports on an ongoing research training program that brings together experienced mentors, promising graduate students, and the best research evidence available to date. Various means are used (e.g., multiple information technologies, videoconferencing, face-to-face interactions) to gather additional stakeholders such as clinician-scientists, health administrators and health care providers to advance the science and future of psychosocial oncology. PORT (Psychosocial Oncology Research Training) builds on the extant knowledge from various relevant disciplines such as psychology, nursing, medicine, health care management, human kinetics, epidemiology, and philosophy at four participating Canadian universities to share in their findings pertaining to the development, implementation and dissemination of innovative psychosocial interventions that optimally assist individuals in their adjustment to cancer. This approach facilitates academic exchanges across different disciplines, institutions and geographical regions while also relying on diverse approaches of inquiry including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods. Within these broader contexts, the benefits and challenges of this transferable program are reviewed to encourage the development, dissemination and sustainability of similar programs elsewhere
