'Cancer Education Grant Program'

描述（由申请人提供）： 本申请的目的是继续路易斯维尔大学癌症生物学的长期、高度成功的短期研究计划。 目前的计划已经接受了超过20年的几乎连续的NIH支持。 在该计划的整个任期内，最优先考虑的是向卫生专业学生传播对癌症生物学问题的认识，因为它们与疾病的诊断，预防和治疗有关，从临床和研究的角度来看。 目前的计划提供了一个独特的场所，师生互动，并提供了积极性高，合格的学生有机会获得接触癌症生物学，并通过每周肿瘤委员会会议，计划工作会议，特别计划研讨会，“癌症职业Minisymilium”，实验室研究，并在当地/国家会议上介绍他们在这方面的知识。 本申请已在培训教师，成果评估程序和特别举措方面进行了大幅修订，以提高学生对癌症医疗保健和研究职业机会的认识。 一个新的健康科学中心范围内的培训项目已经启动，这得益于18个核心教师的参与，他们都是通过联邦/基金会来源广泛资助，并有一个证明致力于生物医学研究和教育。 这个多学科小组代表了跨越七个大学部门的研究和培训合作伙伴关系的形成，并将路易斯维尔大学牙科和医学院，J. Graham Brown癌症中心，出生缺陷中心，遗传学和分子医学中心以及Kosair儿童医院研究所纳入其中。 该项目的17名核心教师是J. Graham Brown癌症中心的参与成员。 所有人都致力于为学员提供接触和参与癌症生物学和细胞生长控制分子机制各个方面的当代研究计划。 MD安德森癌症中心的一位著名癌症流行病学家已被聘为顾问，负责制定和执行一项系统的计划评估和学员跟踪战略，并担任该计划的教育顾问。 总之，我们计划的目标是提供一个独特的现代癌症生物学教育场所，旨在培养下一代学术临床科学家。 这些人将准备进入癌症医疗保健和研究领域，并对降低癌症发病率，死亡率和发病率产生长期影响。通过癌症生物学预防癌症的首要主题！

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of the present application is to continue the long-standing, highly successful, short-term research program in Cancer Biology at the University of Louisville. The current program has been the recipient of over twenty years of near-continuous NIH support. Throughout the tenure of this program, the highest priority has been given to disseminating, to health professional students, an appreciation for issues in cancer biology as they relate to diagnosis, prevention and treatment of the disease, from a clinical and research perspective. The current program provides a unique venue for student - faculty interaction, and provides highly motivated and qualified students with the opportunity to gain exposure to cancer biology and enhance their knowledge in this area through weekly Tumor Board conferences, Program Workconferences, special programmatic seminars, a "Cancer Careers Minisymposium," laboratory research, and presentations at local/national meetings. The present application has been revised substantially with regard to training faculty, outcomes assessment procedures, and special initiatives to increase student awareness of career opportunities in cancer health care and research. A new Health Science Center-wide training venture has been initiated, which benefits from the participation of eighteen core faculty, all of whom are funded extensively through federal/foundation sources and have a demonstrated commitment to biomedical research and education. This multidisciplinary group represents a forging of research and training partnerships spanning seven University departments and incorporating the University of Louisville Schools of Dentistry and Medicine, J. Graham Brown Cancer Center, Birth Defects Center, Center for Genetics and Molecular Medicine, and Kosair Children's Hospital Research Institute. Seventeen of the program Core Faculty are participating members of the J. Graham Brown Cancer Center. All have committed to provide trainees with exposure to, and involvement in, contemporary research programs in varied aspects of cancer biology and molecular mechanisms of cellular growth control. A noted cancer epidemiologist from the MD Anderson Cancer Center has been enlisted as a consultant to develop and execute a systematic strategy for program evaluation and trainee tracking, and to function as an educational advisor for the program. In summary, it is the objective of our program to provide a unique and contemporary educational venue in cancer biology, designed to train the next generation of academic clinical scientists. These individuals will be poised to enter the fields of cancer health care and research, and have a long-term impact on reducing cancer incidence, mortality and morbidity....the foremost theme of cancer prevention through cancer biology!
