DESCRIPTION (Applicant's Description): The objective of this program is to provide high quality training at the predoctoral and postdoctoral levels and to prepare outstanding individuals for careers in research and teaching in Molecular and Viral Oncology. The applicants have developed a multidisciplinary, multi-departmental, group of seventeen investigators with proven expertise and research interests in these areas. The ongoing research programs of these faculty members include the investigation of the genetics and replication of oncogenic RNA and DNA viruses, studies on the maturation and development of various components of the immune response and aberrations that occur during oncogenesis in this system, regulation of gene expression through studies on DNA structure and regulatory elements, the role of oncogenes in carcinogenesis and molecular studies of the host immune response. The faculty members in this proposal occupy laboratories that are well-equipped and well-funded for all phases of the research. The participating faculty believes that this represents an excellent environment for providing outstanding predoctoral and postdoctoral training in the area of Molecular and Viral Oncology. Predoctoral trainees are required to meet the admission and graduation standards of an innovative multi- departmental program entitled the "Cellular and Molecular Biology (CMB) Graduate Program" or a highly selective M.D./Ph.D. program. Specific requirements for students enrolled in the Molecular and Viral Oncology Program include participation in an advanced level course in viral and molecular oncology as well as journal clubs and attendance at seminars relevant to the various aspects of this discipline. Selected course offerings, journal clubs, seminars, and discussion groups will be attended by postdoctoral trainees also. In addition to research activities and courses the training program includes participation in local, regional and national scientific meetings. Recruitment of both predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees will be at the national level through a variety of recruitment programs and will encourage recruitment of minority participants.

描述（申请人的描述）：该计划的目标是在博士前和博士后水平提供高质量的培训，并准备在分子和病毒肿瘤学的研究和教学事业的优秀个人。 申请人已经开发了一个多学科，多部门，一组17名研究人员，在这些领域具有公认的专业知识和研究兴趣。 这些教师正在进行的研究计划包括致癌RNA和DNA病毒的遗传学和复制的调查，对该系统中肿瘤发生期间发生的免疫反应和畸变的各种成分的成熟和发展的研究，通过对DNA结构和调控元件的研究调节基因表达，癌基因在癌症发生中的作用和宿主免疫反应的分子研究。 本提案中的教职员工占据了设备齐全、资金充足的实验室，用于研究的各个阶段。 参与的教师认为，这代表了在分子和病毒肿瘤学领域提供优秀的博士前和博士后培训的良好环境。 博士前学员必须符合一个创新的多部门计划的入学和毕业标准，该计划名为“细胞和分子生物学（CMB）研究生课程”或高度选择性的医学博士/博士程序. 对参加分子和病毒肿瘤学课程的学生的具体要求包括参加病毒和分子肿瘤学高级课程以及期刊俱乐部和参加与本学科各个方面相关的研讨会。 选定的课程，期刊俱乐部，研讨会和讨论小组也将由博士后学员参加。 除了研究活动和课程外，培训方案还包括参加地方、区域和国家科学会议。将通过各种招聘方案在国家一级招聘博士前和博士后学员，并将鼓励招聘少数民族学员。
