Cell and Molecular Cancer Research Training in Nevada

内华达州是美国增长最快的州。1986年，T32拨款给内华达大学， Reno为新的细胞和分子生物学内的癌症研究培训提供了两笔津贴 (招商银行)研究生课程。内华达州的第一笔生物医学培训补助金现在每年资助四名学员， 约16%的招商局博士后学生。免疫学教授多萝西·胡迪格博士指导 癌症研究培训计划。这场竞争续签有三个主要变化。(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5年的分阶段计划将增加博士后癌症研究培训和 到下一次竞争续签时，博士前实习生的比例为25%(2名博士前，6名博士后)。(3)PRO_AM有 成立了博士后职业发展校外咨询委员会，使内华达州成为 开发成功的职业发展途径的网站。研究生被选入T32 获得候选人资格后的支持；他们的癌症研究培训包括细胞和分子 癌症生物学课程，癌症研究研讨会和医学俱乐部，接触肿瘤患者， 和癌症相关的论文研究。17名学生获得上一届奖项的资助；13名毕业生和 4名继续留学生。他们发表了38篇论文。T32学院的12个赞助商分布在5个系 在4个行政单位内，拥有29笔校外竞争性补助金，平均为297,000美元 每位赞助商的年度直接成本。许多博士后实习生将带着预约进入 可晋升给研究教授，并将帮助获得所需的独立资金 发展他们的事业。他们的培训包括基于社区的癌症研究培训，例如 出席肿瘤委员会报告和肿瘤杂志俱乐部，住院医生在内部 医疗；与工作有关的技能培训，如人事管理；以及私人职业咨询。

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 pro_am has established an extramural Advisory Committee for Postdoctoral Career Development, to make Nevada a siteto 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 joumal 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 oncologyjournal club with the residents in internal medicine; training in job-related skills such as personnel management; and private career counseling.
