RTOG Workshop for Translational Research

2001年2月，首届RTOG翻译研究研讨会将在佛罗里达州坦帕举行的RTOG全国会议上举行。RTOG的转化研究计划(TRP)结合了来自不同地点和模式委员会的成员，致力于将实验室研究转化为临床试验。目前，TRP每年在RTOG半年度会议上主办两次主旨演讲。为了实现展示更及时、更前沿的研究的目标，TRP认为有必要每隔一年举办一次全面的基础科学研讨会来加强这些展示。将邀请年轻和有名望的科学家参加，因为他们的项目有潜力发展成为RTOG执行的国家方案的富有成效的补充。将积极招募其他科学家的申请，并根据他们推动区域技术合作小组任务的潜力进行选择。将特别努力鼓励基于多样性的科学问题，因为这些问题与RTOG有关。预计200名或更多的RTOG会议参与者将把这一额外的一天添加到他们的议程中，其他肿瘤学专业人员也将出席会议。基础研究人员将被邀请参加为期三天的会议的临床部分，以加强专业合作，并向基础科学家介绍临床试验开发过程。预计2001年会议将取得成功，计划在今后举办一次两年一次的讲习班，与冬季区域技术合作组织会议相对应。这项赠款申请是为将于2001年、2003年和2005年举办的头三个讲习班提供部分支助。

In February 2001, the first RTOG Workshop on Translational Research will be held at the RTOG national meeting in Tampa, Florida. The Translational Research Program (TRP) of the RTOG combines the members from various site and modality committees to work on the translation of laboratory research into clinical trials. Currently, the TRP sponsors keynote presentations twice a year at the semi-annual RTOG meetings. Toward the goal of presenting more timely, cutting edge research, the TRP sees the need to augment these presentations with a comprehensive basic science symposium every other year. Young and established scientists would be invited to participate based on the potential of their project to develop into productive additions to national protocols performed by the RTOG. Applications from other scientists will be actively recruited and selected based on their potential to advance the missions of the RTOG. Efforts specifically will be made to encourage diversity-based scientific questions as they pertain to the RTOG. It is expected that two hundred or more RTOG meeting participants will add this extra day to their agenda and that the conference will be attended by other oncology professionals as well. Basic researchers will be invited to participate in the clinical component of the three day meeting in order to strengthen professional collaborations and to introduce basic scientists to the process of clinical trial development. Anticipating the success of the 2001 meeting, a biennial workshop is planned to correspond with the winter RTOG meeting in the future. This grant application is for partial support of the first three workshops to be held in 2001, 2003, and 2005.
