项目摘要

Advances in imaging and radiation therapy have the potential to spark widespread improvements in cancer diagnosis and treatment. However, a major barrier to progress in Radiation Oncology and Radiology is a shortage of physician-scientists with the necessary training to make transformative discoveries. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel pathways for extended mentored research to retain more radiation oncologists and radiologists in research. To address this gap, we propose a Duke Radiation Oncology and Radiology Stimulating Access to Research in Residency (Duke ROR StARR) Program, with its central mission to cultivate Resident-Investigators in Radiation Oncology and Radiology through protected time to perform mentored research, therefore creating a cadre of physician-scientists who will make future discoveries that advance imaging and treatment of cancer. With a multi-departmental strategy spanning clinical and basic science departments, Resident-Investigators will experience individualized, multifaceted, and continuous training, embedded within a robust, institutional framework for physician scientist support. A team of multi- disciplinary, well-funded faculty Preceptors, as well as a group of talented Rising Preceptors, offer research opportunities in areas along the cancer research continuum from basic radiation and cancer biology, to pre- clinical imaging and translational studies, to early phase clinical trials. These areas address NCI strategic research priorities that include dissecting pathobiological mechanisms of cancer and developing novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. The program will consist of five training Aims: (1) Comprehensive didactics on professional development and basic, translational, and clinical research; (2) A research project and individual career development plan; (3) Scholarly activity; (4) Board eligibility for the American Board of Radiology; and (5) A path for continued post-residency mentored research training with sub-specialty clinical development. Led by PI David Kirsch (Radiation Oncology), Associate Program Directors Joseph Lo (Radiology) and Scott Floyd (Radiation Oncology), and departmental Residency Program Directors, the program will support three Resident-Investigators in Radiation Oncology, Diagnostic Radiology and/or Interventional Radiology per year, who will complete 12-24 months of mentored research. Institutional support including resources from the Office of Physician Scientist Development, departmental salary support, a research supplement funded by the School of Medicine, and preferences for a subspecialty fellowship or research-intensive Instructor position at Duke supported by the Duke Cancer Institute will ensure that after completing the program, these individuals will be poised to become the next generation of physicians to lead research in Radiation Oncology and Radiology. Achieving the Program's objectives will fulfill urgent needs for: 1) more physician-scientists in Radiation Oncology and Radiology and 2) innovations in imaging, cancer biology, and radiation oncology to transform the lives of cancer patients.

成像和放射疗法的进步有可能引发癌症的广泛改善诊断和治疗。但是，放射肿瘤学和放射学进展的主要障碍是缺乏医生科学家进行必要的培训，以进行变革性发现。所以，迫切需要开发新颖的途径进行扩展的指导研究以保留更多的辐射研究中的肿瘤学家和放射科医生。为了解决这一差距，我们提出了公爵辐射肿瘤学和放射学刺激了居住研究的访问（杜克·罗尔·斯塔尔）计划，其中央通过受保护的时间来培养辐射肿瘤学和放射学领域的居民评估者的任务进行指导的研究，因此创建了一群医师科学家的干部，他们将来会发现未来的发现癌症的提前成像和治疗。具有跨越临床和基本的多部门策略科学部门，居民评估者将体验个性化，多方面和连续培训嵌入了强大的医师科学家支持机构框架中。一个多团队纪律，资助充足的教师主持人以及一群才华横溢的教师提供研究从基本辐射和癌症生物学到癌症研究连续的地区的机会，临床成像和翻译研究，到早期临床试验。这些领域解决NCI战略研究优先级，包括解剖癌症病理生物学机制并发展新颖诊断和治疗策略。该计划将包括五个培训目标：（1）综合关于专业发展以及基础，转化和临床研究的教学；（2）研究项目和个人职业发展计划；（3）学术活动；（4）美国董事会的董事会资格放射学；（5）持续居住后指导研究培训的途径发展。由PI David Kirsch（辐射肿瘤学）领导，副计划主管Joseph Lo （放射学）和斯科特·弗洛伊德（Scott Floyd）（辐射肿瘤学）和部门居住计划董事计划将支持三个在辐射肿瘤学，诊断放射学和/或介入放射学每年将完成12-24个月的指导研究。机构支持包括医师科学家发展办公室的资源，部门工资支持，由医学院资助的研究补充，以及对亚科奖学金或杜克癌症研究所支持的杜克大学研究密集型讲师职位将确保完成该计划，这些人将有望成为领导的下一代医生辐射肿瘤学和放射学研究。实现该计划的目标将满足紧急需求： 1）更多的医师科学家在辐射肿瘤学和放射学方面以及2）成像中的创新生物学和辐射肿瘤学改变了癌症患者的生活。
