DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This program supports research training at the post-doctoral level in cancer biology, radiation biology, and radiological physics relevant to therapeutic radiology. The training program is of two years duration. The program is open to individuals who hold the Ph.D. degree in one of the basic biological sciences, biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, molecular genetics, radiation biology, or in physics or related sciences who wish to pursue cancer-related studies, particularly as applied to therapeutic radiology. The program is also open to individuals who hold the M.D. degree who wish to pursue careers in combining laboratory and clinical research in these same areas. The program takes advantage of the extensive laboratory and clinical research activity in the Department of Therapeutic Radiology, and in this revised application it has been expanded to include trainers in other departments who have interests relevant to radiobiology. Other key elements of this revised application are enhancement of the training environment by major renovations to the research space in the Department of Therapeutic Radiology (supported by both Yale University and the NIH) and expansion of the training opportunities by new faculty recruitments in radiobiology-related fields. The program includes required courses in radiobiology, radiological physics, and in biomedical ethics. Conferences, seminars and workshops cover a range of basic science and clinical topics designed to provide exposure not only to radiobiology, cancer biology, and radiation physics, but also to cancer as a disease. In this amended application, a new panel of faculty advisors has been set up to assist the program director and the training faculty in the selection of trainees and their assignment to research groups, as well as to provide trainee mentoring and supervision. Trainees devote more than 90% of their time to specific long-term research projects and interact with a wide variety of other biomedical science research programs throughout Yale University and the Yale Comprehensive Cancer Center.

描述(由申请者提供)：该计划支持与治疗放射学相关的癌症生物学、放射生物学和放射物理学博士后水平的研究培训。培训计划为期两年。该计划向持有基础生物科学、生物化学、分子生物学、细胞生物学、分子遗传学、辐射生物学或物理学或相关科学博士学位的个人开放，他们希望学习与癌症相关的研究，特别是应用于治疗放射学的研究。该计划也向拥有医学博士学位的个人开放，他们希望在这些相同领域结合实验室和临床研究的职业。该计划利用了治疗放射科广泛的实验室和临床研究活动，在这一修订后的申请中，它已扩大到包括与放射生物学相关的其他部门的培训人员。这一修订申请的其他关键要素包括通过对治疗放射科的研究空间进行重大翻新(由耶鲁大学和美国国立卫生研究院支持)来改善培训环境，以及通过在与放射生物学相关的领域招聘新的教员来扩大培训机会。该计划包括放射生物学、放射物理学和生物医学伦理学的必修课。会议、研讨会和研讨会涵盖了一系列基础科学和临床主题，旨在不仅提供对放射生物学、癌症生物学和辐射物理学的接触，而且还提供对癌症作为一种疾病的接触。在这项修订的申请中，成立了一个新的教员顾问小组，以协助项目主任和培训教员选择受训人员并将他们分配到研究小组，以及为受训人员提供指导和监督。受训者将90%以上的时间用于特定的长期研究项目，并与耶鲁大学和耶鲁综合癌症中心的各种其他生物医学科学研究项目进行互动。
