DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this proposed training grant will be to teach Postdoctoral Fellows to perform independent research in the area of Radiation Biology, so that they can make significant contributions to the fields of Radiation Oncology and Cancer Biology. We propose to accomplish this using a multi-faceted approach consisting of: 1) providing training in the laboratories of outstanding scientists at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine who utilize cutting edge techniques coupled with highly collaborative approaches, 2) course work in the areas of Radiation Biology, Radiation Physics, and Cancer Biology, 3) multi-disciplinary Cancer Center Seminar Series designed to foster interactions between basic scientists and clinician/scientists who perform translational research, and 4) multi-disciplinary departmental seminar series. In addition, trainees will be exposed to clinical oncology environments at Vanderbilt. The training grant preceptors are well qualified to prepare individuals to become outstanding scientists in the field of cancer research, with a focus on radiation biology. They are extremely productive and are outstanding leaders in their respective fields. The preceptors will provide a multi-disciplinary, broad based approach to developing paradigms for cancer research. They are a mix of clinician/scientists and basic scientists who have joint appointments in clinical and basic science departments at Vanderbilt University, the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, and the Center for Vascular Biology at Vanderbilt. These preceptors have a history of interacting with each other at various levels, e.g., numerous seminars, research collaboration, team teaching, as well as serving on graduate student committees. These interactions and the multi-disciplinary approaches taken by the preceptors represent important components for insuring a coherent, integrated interdisciplinary training program.

描述（由申请人提供）：这项拟议的培训补助金的目标将是教博士后研究员在放射生物学领域进行独立研究，使他们能够对放射肿瘤学和癌症生物学领域做出重大贡献。 我们建议使用多方面的方法来实现这一目标，包括：1）在范德比尔特大学医学院的杰出科学家实验室提供培训，他们利用尖端技术与高度协作的方法相结合，2）辐射生物学，辐射物理学和癌症生物学领域的课程工作，3）多学科癌症中心研讨会系列，旨在促进基础科学家和临床医生/科学家之间的互动谁进行转化研究，和4）多学科部门研讨会系列。 此外，学员将在范德比尔特接触临床肿瘤学环境。 培训补助金导师非常有资格培养个人成为癌症研究领域的杰出科学家，重点是辐射生物学。 他们是非常富有成效的，是各自领域的杰出领导者。 导师将提供一个多学科，基础广泛的方法来发展癌症研究的范例。 他们是临床医生/科学家和基础科学家的混合体，他们在范德比尔特大学、范德比尔特-英格拉姆癌症中心和范德比尔特血管生物学中心的临床和基础科学部门联合任职。 这些导师有着在不同层次上相互交流的历史，例如，许多研讨会，研究合作，团队教学，以及服务于研究生委员会。 这些相互作用和导师采取的多学科方法代表了确保连贯，综合跨学科培训计划的重要组成部分。
