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.

爱荷华大学的自由激进和放射生物学培训计划基于放射线研究实验室，在五个关键目标中取向了五个关键目标，以准备学员为辐射和自由基生物学的职业做好准备：1）对辐射生物学，自由生物学和分子肿瘤学领域的基本理解，使得对辐射生物学的主题进行基本了解，并提供了一个机构的熟练率，以至于有一个或多或少的熟练率：在辐射生物学，自由基生物学和分子肿瘤学学科中； 3）为受训者构建研究经验，包括开发研究建议，研究项目的执行以及在同行评审的出版物中对这些结果的评估。 4）为学员提供学习必要的领域知识和技能的经验，以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“现实世界”环境中实施创新的方法，以检验有关放射性生物学和自由基现象的机制和后果的明确假设。博士课程始于1960年，已成长为14名学生的平均入学人数。到目前为止，已经有90名毕业生，其中47位在学术放射生物学研究中获得了职位，有14名正在执业医学或牙科，其中19个从事工业工作，其余的职位处于各种职位。自1991年8月以来，已有30名学生参加了放射生物学学位课程。通过此应用程序，我们建议每年四年支持四名博士候选人。我们拥有广泛的国际公认教师，并始终参与全国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，以及爱荷华大学的学员教育，我们的受训者涉及教师的一对一指导。教职员工，研究员和学生构成了为研讨会，期刊俱乐部和非正式讨论提供挑衅性环境的关键群众。我们在爱荷华大学放射线研究实验室的资源为受训者提供了获得第一手接触和培训的机会，并就最先进的放射生物学，自由基和癌症研究进行了培训。
