ABSTRACT Continued support is requested for a multidisciplinary Dartmouth Training Program in Quantitative Cancer Research (TQCR). The TQCR Program seeks to provide cross-training in quantitative, computational, and biomedical sciences to prepare students for the emergent cancer research landscape that is increasingly characterized by complex problems, big data, and multidisciplinary teams. At Dartmouth, the TQCR Program will enlist graduate student trainees from different academic backgrounds, including computer science, mathematics, biology, chemistry, and engineering who are committed to cancer-centered research activities with a strong quantitative component. These graduate student candidates for TQCR support will be recruited broadly from cancer-focused research laboratories across four graduate programs at Dartmouth: The Geisel School of Medicine’s Molecular & Cellular Biology and Quantitative Biomedical Sciences PhD Programs, The Thayer School of Engineering’s PhD program, and The School of Arts and Sciences Computer Science PhD Program. Faculty mentors include quantitative scientists with significant extramural funding and a strong track records of graduate training experience and biomedical research. Research areas of the faculty include quantitative methodology and scientific applications in bioinformatics, biostatistics, computer science, computational biology, genomics, and epidemiology. Selected TQCR students will engage in a cancer-specific, quantitative curriculum that includes courses in computer science, bioinformatics, biostatistics, epidemiology, cancer biology and integrative biomedical sciences, exposing them to both interdisciplinary research and quantitative methodology development over the course of a 2-year fellowship period. This reflects our institution’s long history of exceptionally strong cancer research and clinical programs, largely based on the success of our comprehensive, NCI-designated Norris Cotton Cancer Center. It is our vision that the next generation of quantitative researchers requires comprehensive interdisciplinary training to contribute meaningfully to future progress in understanding, preventing, and treating cancer.

摘要 要求继续支持多学科达特茅斯定量癌症培训计划 研究（TQCR）。TQCR计划旨在提供定量，计算和 生物医学科学为学生准备的新兴癌症研究景观，越来越多的 以复杂问题、大数据和多学科团队为特征。在达特茅斯，TQCR项目 将招募来自不同学术背景的研究生学员，包括计算机科学， 数学，生物学，化学和工程谁致力于癌症为中心的研究活动， 一个强有力的数量组成部分。这些研究生候选人的TQCR支持将广泛招募 来自达特茅斯四个研究生项目的癌症研究实验室： 医学分子与细胞生物学和定量生物医学博士课程，塞耶 工程学院博士课程和艺术与科学学院计算机科学博士课程。 教师导师包括定量科学家，他们拥有大量的校外资金和良好的跟踪记录， 研究生培训经验和生物医学研究。该学院的研究领域包括定量 生物信息学，生物统计学，计算机科学，计算生物学， 基因组学和流行病学。选定的TQCR学生将参加癌症特异性的定量课程 包括计算机科学、生物信息学、生物统计学、流行病学、癌症生物学和 综合生物医学科学，使他们接触到跨学科研究和定量方法 在为期两年的研究金期间的发展。这反映了我们机构的悠久历史， 非常强大的癌症研究和临床计划，主要是基于我们的综合， NCI指定的诺里斯棉花癌症中心。我们的愿景是，下一代定量研究人员 需要全面的跨学科培训，以便为未来的理解进步做出有意义的贡献， 预防和治疗癌症。
