DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this training grant is to provide excellent training for pre-doctoral fellows in Cancer Epidemiology and Control. We aim to train scientists prepared for the rapidly changing field of cancer epidemiology, skilled in epidemiologic methods, with an integrated understanding of the biology of cancer. For this research program, we propose combining researchers from the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine (SPM) at the University at Buffalo (LJB), others at UB and from Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI) to provide pre-doctoral training including coursework, special seminars, mentored research and interaction with two primary mentors as well as interaction with other experts in relevant disciplines. The proposed training program would develop a sub-specialty in cancer epidemiology, developing the training in multi-disciplinary research and expanding the training collaborations. We propose to develop a specialized curriculum in cancer epidemiology that would emphasize the integration of cancer biology and a number of other disciplines (e.g., biostatistics, toxicology, geographic information science). The new program would provide for the development of cancer epidemiologists equipped to do cutting edge research and to handle the research challenges of the future. The objectives are to: Recruit outstanding pre-doctoral fellows with a background in epidemiology or another relevant field and train them in cancer epidemiology and control with an integrated understanding of cancer biology and other relevant fields, by providing a structured curriculum in cancer epidemiology and those other fields; taking advantage .of the opportunities, and resources available through the partnership of SPM and RPCI, provide tailored hands-on opportunities for pre-doctoral fellows to develop research skills in epidemiology and control as well as in other related disciplines including biostatistics, nutrition, immunology, toxicology or geographic information systems; and provide an understanding of and experience in interdisciplinary research.

描述（由申请人提供）：该培训补助金的目的是为癌症流行病学和控制领域的博士前研究员提供优秀的培训。我们的目标是培养科学家，为快速变化的癌症流行病学领域做好准备，熟练掌握流行病学方法，并对癌症生物学有全面的了解。对于这个研究项目，我们建议将布法罗大学 (LJB) 社会和预防医学系 (SPM) 的研究人员、布法罗大学的其他研究人员以及罗斯威尔帕克癌症研究所 (RPCI) 的研究人员联合起来，提供博士前培训，包括课程作业、专题研讨会、指导研究和与两位主要导师的互动，以及与相关学科的其他专家的互动。拟议的培训计划将发展癌症流行病学的子专业，开展多学科研究培训并扩大培训合作。我们建议开发一门癌症流行病学专业课程，强调癌症生物学和许多其他学科（例如生物统计学、毒理学、地理信息科学）的整合。新计划将为癌症流行病学家的发展提供条件，使他们能够进行前沿研究并应对未来的研究挑战。目标是： 招募具有流行病学或其他相关领域背景的优秀博士前研究员，通过提供癌症流行病学和其他领域的结构化课程，对他们进行癌症流行病学和控制方面的培训，使他们对癌症生物学和其他相关领域有全面的了解；利用SPM和RPCI合作伙伴关系提供的机会和资源，为博士前研究员提供量身定制的实践机会，以培养流行病学和控制以及其他相关学科（包括生物统计学、营养学、免疫学、毒理学或地理信息系统）的研究技能；并提供对跨学科研究的理解和经验。
