PROJECT SUMMARY Over the last three decades, we have witnessed an explosion in the understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying human disease. However, out of this knowledge has come a relatively small number of successful novel therapies. Historically, surgical oncologists have played an essential role in the advancement of cancer-directed therapies. Additionally, health services research is increasingly important to optimizing care of surgical oncology patients. However, surgeon participation in research efforts has been seriously challenged by ever growing surgical training demands and the complexity of the current health care environment. More than ever it is critical that we make rigorous scientific training an integral part of our surgical training programs. The principal focus of the Surgical Oncology Research Training Program at the University of Alabama- Birmingham (UAB) is to strengthen academic surgical oncology research training by stimulating interested physician-scientists to pursue translational and health services research training in oncology. Only one other program of this nature exists in the Deep South and as a result, residents in the 19 general surgery residency programs in the Deep South are steered toward other funded fields of research training. The overall program goal of the Surgical Oncology Research Training Program is to provide surgical residents, who are strongly motivated toward a career in surgical oncology, with a comprehensive, mentored research experience. The specific objectives of this program are to: 1) provide training in the conduct of basic, translational and health services surgical oncology research through participation in an individual and tailored didactic and mentoring program utilizing the extensive resources of the UAB Department of Surgery, UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC), the School of Medicine’s Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS), the Office of Postdoctoral Education (OPE), and an abundance of health services and disparities research programs and centers; 2) develop surgeon-scientists and leaders in academic surgery with an emphasis on surgical oncology; and 3) expand the pool of surgeon-scientists who will be competitive for future research career development and independent research grants. The application includes a pool of successful, experienced trainers from a variety of surgical oncology-related disciplines with research in the following focus areas: cancer etiology and progression, exposure biology, experimental therapeutics, chemoprevention, disparities in cancer outcomes and survivorship. Program leaders have significant past experience with research training programs. The program addresses the evolving field of surgical oncology research through the inclusion of training options in biostatistics and bioinformatics, genomics and disparities. Through its robust cancer research environment and commitment to training, UAB and the UAB Department of Surgery provide an optimal home for this needed program.

项目摘要 在过去的三十年里，我们见证了对分子生物学的理解的爆炸性发展。 人类疾病的潜在机制。然而，从这些知识中， 成功的新疗法从历史上看，外科肿瘤学家在进步中发挥了重要作用， 癌症导向疗法的一部分此外，卫生服务研究对优化护理越来越重要 肿瘤外科病人的然而，外科医生参与研究工作受到了严重挑战 不断增长的外科培训需求和当前医疗保健环境的复杂性。更 比以往任何时候都更重要的是，我们使严格的科学培训成为我们外科培训计划的一个组成部分。 亚拉巴马大学外科肿瘤学研究培训计划的主要重点是- 伯明翰（UAB）是加强学术外科肿瘤学研究培训，激发感兴趣的， 医生科学家追求肿瘤学的转化和卫生服务研究培训。只有另一 这种性质的计划存在于南方腹地，因此，在19个普通外科的居民 美国南部腹地的住院医师项目被引导到其他受资助的研究培训领域。 外科肿瘤学研究培训计划的总体计划目标是提供外科 居民，谁是对外科肿瘤学的职业生涯强烈的动机，与全面的，指导 研究经验。该方案的具体目标是：1）提供基本行为培训， 翻译和健康服务外科肿瘤学研究，通过参与个人和定制 利用UAB外科的广泛资源的教学和指导计划，UAB 综合癌症中心（CCC），医学院的临床和转化科学中心 （CCTS），博士后教育办公室（OPE），以及丰富的卫生服务和差距 研究计划和中心; 2）培养外科医生科学家和学术手术的领导者， 强调外科肿瘤学; 3）扩大外科医生科学家的人才库，他们将在未来具有竞争力 研究职业发展和独立研究赠款。该应用程序包括一个成功的池， 来自各种外科肿瘤学相关学科的经验丰富的培训师，研究重点如下 领域：癌症病因学和进展，暴露生物学，实验治疗学，化学预防， 癌症预后和生存率的差异。项目负责人具有丰富的过去经验， 研究培训计划。该计划涉及不断发展的外科肿瘤学研究领域， 纳入生物统计和生物信息学、基因组学和差异方面的培训选项。通过其强大的 癌症研究环境和对培训的承诺，UAB和UAB外科部门提供 这是这个项目的最佳选择
