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（由申请人提供）：该计划支持在癌症生物学，放射生物学和放射物理学相关的治疗放射学博士后水平的研究培训。 培训计划为期两年。 该计划是开放给谁持有博士学位的个人。在基础生物科学，生物化学，分子生物学，细胞生物学，分子遗传学，放射生物学，或物理学或相关科学之一的学位，希望从事癌症相关研究，特别是应用于治疗放射学。 该计划也向持有医学博士学位的个人开放。希望在这些领域从事实验室和临床研究相结合的职业。 该计划利用了治疗放射学系广泛的实验室和临床研究活动，在此修订后的应用程序中，它已扩展到包括其他部门的培训人员，他们对放射生物学感兴趣。 该修订申请的其他关键要素是通过对治疗放射学系（由耶鲁大学和NIH支持）的研究空间进行重大改造来增强培训环境，并通过在放射生物学相关领域招聘新教师来扩大培训机会。 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程。会议、研讨会和讲习班涵盖了一系列基础科学和临床主题，不仅旨在提供放射生物学、癌症生物学和辐射物理学的知识，而且还将癌症作为一种疾病。在这一修改后的应用程序中，成立了一个新的教师顾问小组，以协助项目主任和培训教师选择学员并将其分配给研究小组，以及为学员提供指导和监督。学员将90%以上的时间投入到特定的长期研究项目中，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。
