GRADUATE TRAINING IN CANCER RESEARCH

丹娜-法伯癌症研究所（DFCI）被指定为一个综合性的 1973年，美国国家癌症研究所（National Cancer Institute）两年后， 1975年，该研究所最初被授予国家机构奖， 研究服务奖（T32 CAO 9172）由美国国家癌症研究所。 自那时以来，已有229人得到了这笔赠款的支助， 这一筹资机制已成为一个重要组成部分， 培养临床研究者。这样做的目的 建议要求在未来五年内继续提供支持， 在综合癌症中心提供研究培训， 希望从事学术肿瘤学职业的研究生医生。的 此应用程序的具体目的是提供一个经验， 临床或实验室调查，高度选择的临床医生， 已完成医学或儿科肿瘤学培训。的 DFCI提供了广泛的实验室 一个异常肥沃的环境，交流思想， 合作设计研究项目。培训将继续 通过定期讲座、临床和 研究会议和“实验台活动”。学员将 还必须参加“哈佛实践项目” 科学调查。“作为一种提供教学的手段， 医学伦理和科学诚信。该研究所的研究设施 DPCI继续成熟，正在建设一个额外的 实验室大楼，理查德A。Susan P. Smith研究 实验室，定于1998年初启用， 六层楼用于完成研究实验室空间以及动物 研究实验室，研究管理和支持功能。 25个独立的部门和/或实验室，包括医疗和 儿科肿瘤学，癌症流行病学和控制，生物统计学， 血液肿瘤，肿瘤免疫学，癌症药理学，细胞 生长和调节，肿瘤疾病机制和人类癌症 遗传学提供了一系列广泛的研究机会。学员 在此建议的支持下，能够从所有这些中选择 实验室，他们希望进行研究的领域。 研究所的所有工作人员都在哈佛担任教职 在大学里，参加实验室的课堂演示， 临床研究培训。除了提供培训支助外， 这项机构赠款，DFCI研究人员还参加了前， 哈佛大学的博士后培训项目， 部门教师任命或在邻近的哈佛附属 医院的该计划的目标是鼓励发展 学术肿瘤学家预计在其结束时， 培训，这些人支持这个计划将有 设计、发起和完成个人研究的能力 项目，独立或在最低限度的监督下， 将能够建立自己的独立研究 investigators. 与过去一样，预计将有一些人留下来， 在DFCI成功完成培训后， 最终成为研究所研究人员的永久成员。

The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) was designated as a comprehensive cancer center by the National Cancer Institute in 1973. Two years later, in 1975, the Institute was initially awarded an Institutional National Research Service Award (T32 CAO9172) by the National Cancer Institute. Since that time, 229 individuals have been supported by this grant and this funding mechanism has become an essential component in the ability of the Institute to develop clinical investigators. The purpose of this proposal is to request continued support for another five years to provide research training in a comprehensive cancer center for postgraduate physicians who desire a career in academic oncology. The specific purpose of this application is to offer an experience in clinical or laboratory investigation to highly selected clinicians who have completed their training in medical or pediatric oncology. The availability of a wide spectrum of laboratories within the DFCI offers an unusually fertile environment for the exchange of ideas and for collaboration in the design of research programs. Training will continue to be provided through regularly scheduled lectures, clinical and research conferences, and "bench laboratory activities". Trainees will also be required to participate in the "Harvard Program in the Practice of Scientific Investigation." as a means of providing instruction in medical ethics and scientific integrity. The research facilities of the DPCI continue to mature with construction well underway for an additional laboratory building, the Richard A. and Susan P. Smith Research laboratories, scheduled for occupancy early in 1998, which will provide six floors for finished research laboratory space as well as animal research laboratories, research administration, and support functions. Twenty-five separate divisions and/or laboratories including Medical and Pediatric Oncology, Cancer Epidemiology and Control, Biostatistics, Hematologic Malignancies, Tumor Immunology, Cancer Pharmacology, Cell Growth and Regulation, Neoplastic Disease Mechanisms, and Human Cancer Genetics offer a wide panoply of investigative opportunities. Trainees supported by this proposal are able to select from among all of these laboratories as to the area in which they wish to conduct their research. All members of the Institute staff hold faculty appointments at Harvard University and participate in classroom presentations in laboratory and clinical research training. In addition to training support provided by this institutional grant, DFCI investigators also participate in pre and postdoctoral training programs at Harvard University through their departmental faculty appointments or at neighboring Harvard-affiliated hospitals. The goal of this program is to encourage the development of academic oncologists. It is expected that at the conclusion of their training, those individuals supported by this program will have the capability for designing, initiating, and completing individual research projects, independently or with minimal supervision, and soon thereafter will be able to establish themselves as independent research investigators. As in the past, it is anticipated that some will remain at the DFCI upon successfully completing their training and will eventually become permanent members of the Institute's research staff.
