DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The UT Southwestern Physician Scientist Oncology Training Program will provide fellows and residents who have finished their clinical training in oncology the opportunity and protected time to develop the technical and Intellectual skills for a successful laboratory based oncology research program. The program will accomplish this by providing highly Individualized mentorship, the opportunity to train in the research laboratories of one of our internationally renowned faculty and up to three years of stipend support during the years of their research training. Specifically, the goals of the program are to support physicians who have finished their subspecialty clinical training in oncology and train them in lab-based translational oncology research, by providing (a) training in the laboratory skills necessary to investigate the pathogenesis and biology of cancer, (b) a rigorous mentoring and didactic program in the biology of cancer, biostatistics, ethics, and regulatory issues, (c) and training in the investigation of basic cancer questions which are clinically relevant, and in the translation of clinical observations into hypothesis based laboratory questions. Trainees will be mentored primarily by scientists who participate in one of the five programs in the Cancer Center, but will also have secondary, clinical research resource faculty mentors to ensure that the trainee develops the clinical skills and expertise necessary to succeed in a multi-disciplinary approach to the study of clinically relevant cancer questions. Unique opportunities of the program include the outstanding faculty of Cancer Biology Training Program for pre-and post doctoral PhDs within the Graduate School of Biological Sciences, a Specialized Program of Research Excellence in Lung Cancer, and a Program Project Grant on the Concerted Chemical, Biophysical and Molecular Biological Attack of Intracellular Pathways Relevant to Human Cancer. 20 laboratory mentors representing 15 different Departments and Centers are committed to this program, as are 11 clinical resource mentors. A Steering Committee consisting of 7 senior physician and scientist leaders in the Cancer Center will provide oversight and direction, and administrative support will be provided by the Cancer Center. RELEVANCE: The goal of this program is to produce top-quality physician scientists who are committed to an academic career in patient-related basic and/or translational oncology research.

描述（由申请人提供）：UT西南医师科学家肿瘤学培训计划将为完成肿瘤学临床培训的研究员和居民提供机会和保护时间，以开发成功的基于实验室肿瘤学研究计划的技术和知识技能。该计划将通过提供高度个性化的指导来实现这一目标，这是在我们的一位国际知名教师的研究实验室中培训的机会，并在他们的研究培训期间提供长达三年的津贴支持。 Specifically, the goals of the program are to support physicians who have finished their subspecialty clinical training in oncology and train them in lab-based translational oncology research, by providing (a) training in the laboratory skills necessary to investigate the pathogenesis and biology of cancer, (b) a rigorous mentoring and didactic program in the biology of cancer, biostatistics, ethics, and regulatory issues, (c) and training in the investigation of basic cancer questions which are在临床上相关，并将临床观察转化为基于假设的实验室问题。学员将主要由参加癌症中心的五个计划之一的科学家进行指导，但还将有次要的临床研究资源教师导师，以确保受训者在多学科方法中开发成功的临床技能和专业知识，以研究临床相关的癌症问题。该计划的独特机会包括生物科学研究生院前博士学位博士学位和博士后博士学位的杰出教职员工，肺癌研究卓越研究的专业计划，以及针对与人类癌症相关的内细胞内途径的协同化学，生物物理和分子生物学攻击的计划项目。代表15个不同部门和中心的20名实验室导师和11位临床资源导师也致力于该计划。由癌症中心的7位高级医师和科学家领导人组成的指导委员会将提供监督和指导，癌症中心将提供行政支持。 相关性：该计划的目的是生产高质量的医师科学家，他们致力于从事与患者有关的基础和/或翻译肿瘤研究的学术生涯。
