Training in Translational Research of Lung, Head and Neck Cancer

总结 我们的肺，头和颈（LHN）癌症培训计划（LHNTP），自2013年以来资助，是一个多学科的 翻译计划，其使命是培养下一代研究人员和医生科学家 LHN癌症。虽然我们的T32计划不到五年，我们的大多数学员仍然在 培训，LHNTP增值我们的学员的发展已经变得明显。这次竞争性的续约 我将继续我们的使命，并根据研究的进展进一步改进和加强我们的计划 和临床实践中，在过去的几年里。我们的变化包括培训教师，课程和活动， 更好地结合专业知识、创新研究和临床进展。这些变化将加速 科学发现，进一步丰富培训环境，促进职业发展。基于 NCI的博士后/博士前比例要求，我们将继续任命3名新的博士后和1名 每一年都有新的博士前学生。培训教师从UCCC成员和毕业生中挑选 教师们根据他们的科学/临床专业知识、指导记录和积极资助来实现 LHN癌症转化研究的培训。我们的教师来自基础科学和临床 部门除了实验室培训，我们还为所有人设计了强制性的教学课程 为非医学博士学员提供临床课程，以提高学员的科学背景和 我们计划的翻译方面。我们的具体目标是，计划学员将获得 在基础和转化LHN癌症研究的生产性学术生涯的专业技能。我们 将根据学员的学业成绩，从外部和内部培训人才库中大力挑选学员， 致力于LHN癌症研究。

SUMMARY Our Lung, Head and Neck (LHN) Cancer Training Program (LHNTP), funded since 2013, is a multi-disciplinary translational program with a mission to train the next generation of researchers and physician scientists in LHN cancers. Although our T32 program is less than five years old and the majority of our trainees are still in training, the LHNTP value-added to our trainee's development has become obvious. This competitive renewal will continue our mission and further improve and strengthen our program based on the advances in research and clinical practice in the past few years. Our changes include training faculty, curriculum and activities that better incorporate expertise, innovative research and clinical advances. These changes will accelerate scientific discoveries, further enrich training environment and enhance career development. Based on the NCI's postdoctoral/predoctoral ratio requirement, we will continue to appoint 3 new postdoctoral fellows and 1 new predoctoral student per award year. Training faculty are selected from members of UCCC and graduate faculty based on their scientific/clinical expertise, track records of mentorship and active funding to achieve training of translational LHN cancer research. Our faculty members are from both basic science and clinical departments. In addition to laboratory training, we have designed mandatory didactic coursework for all trainees and clinical coursework for non-MD trainees to enhance the trainee's scientific background and the translational aspect of our program. Our specific goal is that program trainees will acquire the professional skills for productive academic careers in basic and translational LHN cancer research. We will vigorously select trainees from external and internal trainee pools based on their academic records and commitment to LHN cancer research.
