The University of Iowa Training Program in Free Radical and Radiation Biology, based in the Radiation Research Laboratory, is oriented around five key goals for education in preparation of trainees for a career in radiation and free radical biology: 1) To impart a fundamental understanding of the subject matter of radiation biology, free radical biology, and molecular oncology and an in-depth proficiency in one or more defined areas: 2) To provide trainees with the opportunity to achieve proficiency in radiation biology, free radical biology, and molecular oncology disciplines; 3) To structure research experience for trainees that includes the development of a research proposal, execution of a research project, and evaluation of these results in peer-reviewed publications. 4) To offer trainees experience in learning the necessary domain knowledge and skills to do collaborative research with faculty in clinical and basic science departments; and 5) To encourage trainees to implement innovative approaches in a "real world" environment to test explicit hypotheses about the mechanisms and consequences of radiobiologic and free radical phenomena. The doctoral program began in 1960 and has grown to an average enrollment of 14 students. There have been 90 graduates thus far, 47 of whom have obtained positions in academic radiobiology research, 14 are practicing academic medicine or dentistry, 19 are working in industry, and the remainder are in a variety of positions. Since August 1991, 30 students have enrolled in radiation biology degree programs. With this application, we are proposing to support four doctoral candidates each year for four years. We have a large internationally recognized faculty with consistent involvement in nationally recognized radiobiology and free radical research projects, program projects, individual research awards, and The University of Iowa Cancer Center Education for our trainees involves one-on-one mentoring by faculty members, working on cancer-related nationally recognized research projects, plus formal course work offered by the department and the other excellent resources at The University of Iowa. The faculty, fellows, and students form a critical mass for providing a provocative environment for seminars, journal clubs, and informal discussion. Our resources at The University of Iowa Radiation Research Laboratory offer trainees opportunities to obtain first-hand exposure to and training on state-of-the-art radiobiological, free radical, and cancer research.

爱荷华州自由基和辐射生物学培训计划的大学，在辐射研究实验室的基础上，是围绕五个关键目标的教育在辐射和自由基生物学的职业培训：1）传授辐射生物学，自由基生物学和分子肿瘤学的主题的基本理解和一个或多个定义的领域的深入熟练程度：2）为学员提供机会，以达到熟练掌握放射生物学，自由基生物学和分子肿瘤学学科; 3）为学员构建研究经验，包括研究提案的开发，研究项目的执行，以及在同行评审的出版物中评估这些结果。4)为学员提供学习必要的领域知识和技能的经验，以便与临床和基础科学部门的教师进行合作研究; 5）鼓励学员在“真实的世界”环境中实施创新方法，以测试有关放射生物学和自由基现象的机制和后果的明确假设。博士课程开始于1960年，并已发展到14名学生的平均入学人数。到目前为止，已有90名毕业生，其中47人在学术放射生物学研究中获得职位，14人正在从事学术医学或牙科，19人在工业界工作，其余的人在各种职位上。自1991年8月以来，已有30名学生报名参加放射生物学学位课程。通过这项申请，我们建议每年支持四名博士候选人，为期四年。我们有一个大型的国际公认的教师在国家认可的放射生物学和自由基研究项目，计划项目，个人研究奖，和爱荷华州癌症中心教育的大学一贯参与我们的学员涉及一对一的指导教师成员，癌症相关的国家认可的研究项目，加上正式的课程工作提供的部门和其他优秀的资源在爱荷华州的大学。教师，研究员和学生形成了一个临界质量，为研讨会，期刊俱乐部和非正式讨论提供了一个挑衅性的环境。我们在爱荷华州大学辐射研究实验室的资源为学员提供机会，以获得第一手的接触和最先进的放射生物学，自由基和癌症研究的培训。
