DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This 5-year program is designed to train predoctoral (Ph.D.) and postdoctoral students in statistical genomics with the major emphasis in cancer genomics. The goal is to train biostatisticians in the biology, etiology, and genetics of cancer, as well as to train them to conduct state-of-the-art biostatistical methodologic research relevant to the genomics of cancer as well as in related areas of genomics. The goal is to also produce biostatisticians who can collaborate with other scientific researchers and oncologists on research issues related to genomics and cancer. The typical predoctoral trainee will be a college graduate or masters level graduate with an excellent academic record appropriate for this training area. The typical postdoctoral trainee will have highly relevant doctoral training in statistics, biostatistics, or related areas. Funding is requested for the support of 5 predoctoral trainees and 2 post-doctoral trainees. The Department of Biostatistics at UNC is one of the largest in the world, and has highly qualified personnel and the available facilities to provide the most comprehensive predoctoral and postdoctoral training in this research area. Several members of the Carolina Center for Genome Sciences (CCGS) will be deeply involved in all phases of this training program and will play an integral role in this training program.

描述（由申请人提供）：这个为期 5 年的项目旨在培养统计基因组学方面的博士前（博士）和博士后学生，重点是癌症基因组学。目标是培训癌症生物学、病因学和遗传学方面的生物统计学家，并培训他们进行与癌症基因组学以及基因组学相关领域相关的最先进的生物统计方法学研究。目标还在于培养能够与其他科学研究人员和肿瘤学家合作研究与基因组学和癌症相关的研究问题的生物统计学家。典型的博士前培训生将是具有适合该培训领域的优秀学术记录的大学毕业生或硕士学位毕业生。典型的博士后实习生将在统计学、生物统计学或相关领域接受高度相关的博士培训。申请资助5名博士前培训生和2名博士后培训生。北卡罗来纳大学生物统计系是世界上最大的系之一，拥有高素质的人员和可用的设施，可以提供该研究领域最全面的博士前和博士后培训。卡罗莱纳州基因组科学中心（CCGS）的多名成员将深度参与本次培训项目的各个阶段，并在本次培训项目中发挥不可或缺的作用。
