DESCRIPTION (Applicant's Description): This is a competitive renewal of a training grant proposal for a program designed to train radiation biologists who will have knowledge of the molecular, cellular and tissue effects of radiation. Six predoctoral and 6 postdoctoral trainees are requested. Training will be offered in the radiation biology laboratories of the Division of Oncology Research, Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. The program will involve formal coursework, a lecture series and a journal club designed for the training needs of the applicants, research seminars and conferences, and laboratory research projects to be supervised by established investigators. The research projects will focus on various aspects of the currently funded research areas in the participating laboratories; for research projects, trainees will utilize techniques developed in modern biology to perform mechanistically-oriented studies in radiation biology/oncology. The research areas in which the 10 training directors and supervisors are involved are broadly based in cancer research, including molecular mechanisms in carcinogenesis and mutagenesis, molecular and cellular radiation biology, radiation chemistry and biochemistry, DNA repair processes, cancer prevention and radiation oncology. It is expected that graduates of the training program will continue with their research and academic careers in radiation biology and oncology.

描述（申请人的描述）：这是一个旨在培训辐射生物学家谁将有辐射的分子，细胞和组织效应的知识计划的培训补助金提案的竞争性更新。 需要6名博士前和6名博士后学员。 培训将在宾夕法尼亚大学医学院放射肿瘤学系肿瘤学研究部的放射生物学实验室进行。 该计划将涉及正式的课程，系列讲座和期刊俱乐部，旨在为申请人的培训需求，研究研讨会和会议，以及实验室研究项目，由既定的调查人员监督。研究项目将侧重于参与实验室目前资助的研究领域的各个方面;对于研究项目，学员将利用现代生物学开发的技术进行放射生物学/肿瘤学的机械导向研究。 10名培训主任和主管参与的研究领域广泛涉及癌症研究，包括致癌和诱变的分子机制、分子和细胞辐射生物学、辐射化学和生物化学、DNA修复过程、癌症预防和辐射肿瘤学。 预计培训计划的毕业生将继续从事放射生物学和肿瘤学的研究和学术事业。
