DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Research Training Program in Surgical Oncology is intended to provide mentor-based training to young surgeon-scientists who will pursue research and teaching careers in Surgical Oncology. The two year postdoctoral program optimizes the ability of the trainees to translate modern molecular biology and other basic sciences to contemporary clinical problems. In the past five years our institution has developed an outstanding laboratory-based training program for academic surgical oncologists successfully training ten individuals who are now pursuing academic careers in different institutions throughout the country. Our goal is to continue this Program, while improving its attributes, to maximize the potential of our trainees to develop their own independent Surgical Oncology translational research efforts. Research training is accomplished through four areas of experience: 1) required core curriculum, 2) mentor-directed laboratory training in one of six areas of oncologic research, 3) basic and clinical science- oriented interactive seminars, and 4) attendance at national scientific meetings. All Core Faculty mentors have active, funded laboratories, and provide a broad base of experience in oncology-related basic research and prior mentoring experience. Their particular research strengths include chemoprevention, immunology, molecular biology/gene therapy, molecular biomarkers, applied pharmacology, and radiation biology. The Executive Committee provides administrative guidance to the Program Director, evaluates program progress and trainee applications, and suggests future directions. The Trainee Advisory Committee consists of a Core Faculty Mentor and additional Participating Faculty with appropriate research expertise. The External Review Committee provides for independent, extramural review of the program content and process. The UAB Department of Surgery offers trainees in all surgical subspecialties a unique opportunity to receive expert training in the basic and translational sciences. Funding of this Program will enable these trainees to pursue two years of uninterrupted study of fundamental Surgical Oncology problems while encouraging these surgeon-scientists to enter active academic careers with an emphasis on translational research that will undoubtedly impact the quality of cancer patient care in our country.

描述(由申请人提供)：这项外科肿瘤学研究培训计划旨在为将从事外科肿瘤学研究和教学事业的年轻外科医生-科学家提供以导师为基础的培训。为期两年的博士后课程优化了学员将现代分子生物学和其他基础科学转化为当代临床问题的能力。在过去的五年里，我们机构为外科肿瘤学术专家制定了出色的基于实验室的培训计划，成功地培训了10名目前在全国各地不同机构追求学术生涯的人。我们的目标是继续这一计划，同时改进其属性，以最大限度地发挥我们的学员开发自己的独立外科肿瘤学翻译研究工作的潜力。 研究培训是通过四个经验领域完成的：1)必备的核心课程，2)肿瘤学研究六个领域之一的导师指导的实验室培训，3)以基础和临床科学为导向的互动研讨会，以及4)参加国家科学会议。所有核心学院导师都有活跃的、有资金支持的实验室，并在肿瘤学相关基础研究和先前的指导经验方面提供了广泛的经验基础。他们独特的研究优势包括化学预防、免疫学、分子生物学/基因疗法、分子生物标记物、应用药理学和辐射生物学。执行委员会向项目主任提供行政指导，评估项目进展和学员申请，并建议未来的方向。受训人员咨询委员会由一名核心学院导师和其他具有适当研究专长的参与学院组成。外部审查委员会规定对计划内容和程序进行独立的外部审查。 UAB外科系为所有外科专业的受训者提供了一个独特的机会，可以接受基础科学和翻译科学方面的专家培训。该项目的资助将使这些受训人员能够继续两年不间断地研究基础外科肿瘤学问题，同时鼓励这些外科科学家进入活跃的学术生涯，重点是转化性研究，这无疑将影响我国癌症患者的护理质量。
