RTOG Workshop for Translational Research

2001年2月，在佛罗里达的坦帕举行的RTOG全国会议上将举行第一次RTOG转化研究研讨会。RTOG的转化研究计划（TRP）将来自不同研究中心和模式委员会的成员结合起来，致力于将实验室研究转化为临床试验。目前，跨国激进党每年两次在研究与技术转让小组半年度会议上主办主旨发言。为了提出更及时、更前沿的研究，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增加这些演讲。将根据其项目的潜力，邀请年轻和成熟的科学家参加，以发展成为对由RTOG执行的国家议定书的富有成效的补充。其他科学家的申请将根据他们推进RTOG任务的潜力积极招募和选择。将特别努力鼓励提出与RTOG有关的基于多样性的科学问题。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参加会议。将邀请基础研究人员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年的会议将取得成功，计划在今后的研究与技术转让小组冬季会议期间举办两年期讲习班。此补助金申请是为2001年、2003年和2005年举办的前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.
