Cell and Molecular Cancer Research Training in Nevada

描述（由申请人提供）：内华达州是全国发展最快的州。1986年，里诺的内华达州大学获得了T32拨款，为新的细胞和分子生物学（CMB）研究生课程中的癌症研究培训提供了两笔津贴。内华达州的第一个生物医学培训补助金现在每年支持四名学员，约占CMB博士预科生的16%。多萝西·哈迪格博士免疫学教授，指导癌症研究培训计划。此次竞演续约有三大变化。(1)博士前培训包括参加NIH研究生合作伙伴计划的机会。(2)随着NCI计划的批准，一个为期5年的分阶段计划将增加博士后癌症研究培训，并在下一次竞争性更新之前获得25%的博士前培训生（2名前，6名后）。(3)该计划已经建立了一个博士后职业发展校外咨询委员会，使内华达州的网站，以开发成功的职业发展的方法。研究生在晋升候选人资格后被选为T32支持;他们的癌症研究培训包括癌症细胞和分子生物学课程，癌症研究研讨会和期刊俱乐部，接触肿瘤患者以及癌症相关论文研究。17名学生获得了最后一个奖项的支持; 13名毕业生和4名继续学生。发表论文38篇。12个T32教师赞助商在4个行政单位内的5个部门，并有29个校外竞争性赠款，每个赞助商平均每年直接成本为297，000美元。许多博士后学员将进入任命晋升为研究教授，并将获得帮助，以获得发展自己的职业生涯所需的独立资金。他们的培训包括以社区为基础的癌症研究培训，如参加肿瘤委员会的演讲和与内科住院医师的肿瘤学杂志俱乐部;与工作相关的技能培训，如人事管理;和私人职业咨询。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Nevada is the fastest-growing state in the nation. In 1986, a T32 grant to the University of Nevada, Reno provided two stipends for cancer research training within the new Cell and Molecular Biology (CMB) Graduate Program. Nevada's first biomedical training grant now supports four trainees per year, about 16% of the CMB predoctoral students. Dorothy Hudig, Ph.D., Professor of Immunology, directs the cancer research training program. There are 3 major changes in this competitive renewal. (1) Predoctoral training includes opportunities to participate in the NIH Graduate Partners Program. (2) With NCI program approval, a 5 year phase-in plan will add postdoctoral cancer research training and result in 25% predoctoral trainees (2 pre, 6 post) by the next competitive renewal. (3) The program has established an extramural Advisory Committee for Postdoctoral Career Development, to make Nevada a site to develop approaches for successful career advancement. Graduate students are selected for T32 support after advancement to candidacy; their cancer research training includes a Cell and Molecular Biology of Cancer Course, cancer research seminars and journal clubs, exposure to oncology patients, and cancer-related thesis research. Seventeen students were supported by the last award; 13 graduates and 4 continuing students. They published 38 papers. The twelve T32 faculty sponsors are in 5 departments within 4 administrative units and have 29 extramural competitive grants, with an average of $297,000 annual direct costs per sponsor. Many of the postdoctoral trainees will enter with appointments promotable to research professors and will be helped to obtain the independent funding needed to develop their careers. Their training includes community-based cancer research training, such as attendance of tumor board presentations and an oncology journal club with the residents in internal medicine; training in job-related skills such as personnel management; and private career counseling.
