DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This competitive renewal was originally funded in 2002, and is now completing the fourth year of its second five-year cycle (10th year). This T32 builds upon established clinical and scientific strengths in various oncologic disciplines of the Departments of Surgery and Obstetrics/Gynecology. The partnership of both Departments with UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center provides an integrated infrastructure of collaborative bench science that spans fundamental molecular discovery to move scientific inquiry from bench-to-bedside for applied clinical and translational research. This training environment enhances the intra-collaborative, seamless trans-departmental initiatives available in Tumor Biology and Immunology, Human Genetics, Autoimmunity and Inflammation, Translational Clinical and Outcomes Research. The strategic goals of the research plan have special emphasis on the training of nascent, promising young Surgical-Scientists in their early post-doctoral years and who are in ACGME-approved training programs in Surgery or Gynecologic Oncology. Thus, this T-32 program coordinates the mentorship of promising post- doctoral ACGME resident-candidates who will aspire to academic faculty positions and will strengthen UAB's exceptional mentoring environment. This T-32 grant represents a mechanism for faculty collaboration and synergistic scientific interests among its four SPORE programs at UAB. Programmatically, an effective interdisciplinary research experience is implemented by the obligatory incorporation of the required teaching via mentors and the required course work for individual research plans. Course work in statistics and ethical conduct of research is augmented in this competitive renewal with formal instruction provided by the Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) and the Office of Post-Doctoral Education in grantsmanship, manuscript writing, and translational research. Over the past five years, 22 ACGME resident-trainees in Surgery and Gynecologic Oncology were supported by this T-32 mechanism. Because post-graduate surgical training approaches 7-10 years, and T-32 Trainees conduct research in the early stages of their career, a significant number of trainees still have >5 years of surgical training remaining prior to academic appointment. Therefore, we are just beginning to see the academic success of our program after 10 years of continuous funding. In the past 10 years, there have been 36 trainees that have completed their T-32 training with 70 % of these residents continuing in academic biomedical research and practice / training. Moreover, in the past five years, this T-32 has been gender-balanced and has included 17% under-represented minorities. This T32 has, over the past ten years, provided continual strong commitment to trainees with oversight and encouragement of reciprocal commitment to careers in investigation and academia. This is reflected by those who have completed training with academic faculty positions in other Schools of Medicine within Departments of Surgery, its oncology disciplines, and Obstetrics/Gynecology. Continued funding is therefore requested annually for 6 post-doctoral resident-trainees.

描述（由申请人提供）：这种竞争性更新最初是在2002年资助的，现在正在完成其第二五年周期的第四年（第10年）。该T32建立在手术和产科/妇科部门各种肿瘤学学科中已建立的临床和科学优势的基础上。这两个部门与UAB综合癌症中心的合作伙伴关系提供了协作基础科学的综合基础设施，涵盖了基本的分子发现，以将科学询问从基准层转移到卧铺，以进行应用临床和转化研究。这种训练环境增强了肿瘤生物学和免疫学，人类遗传学，自身免疫性和炎症，转化临床和结果研究的可提供的无缝跨部门倡议。 研究计划的战略目标特别强调了在博士后早期对新生，有前途的年轻外科科学家的培训，并且他们正在接受ACGME批准的手术或妇科肿瘤学方面的培训计划。因此，该T-32计划协调了有希望的博士后ACGME居民居民的指导，他们将渴望担任学术教师职位，并将增强UAB的杰出指导环境。这项T-32赠款代表了其在UAB的四个孢子计划中的教师合作和协同科学利益的机制。从程序上讲，通过必须通过导师的教学和个人研究计划进行所需的课程工作来实施有效的跨学科研究经验。通过临床和转化科学中心（CCTS）提供的正式教学以及在赠款技巧，手稿写作和翻译研究中提供的正式指导，在这种竞争性更新中进行了统计和道德行为的课程工作。在过去的五年中，该T-32机制支持了22名ACGME居民在手术和妇科肿瘤学领域。由于研究生外科培训接近7 - 10年，而T-32学员在职业生涯的早期进行了研究，因此在学术任命之前，仍有大量的学员进行了超过5年的手术培训。因此，在经过10年的持续资金后，我们才刚刚开始看到我们计划的学术成就。在过去的10年中，有36名学员完成了T-32培训，其中70％的居民继续从事学术生物医学研究和实践 /培训。此外，在过去的五年中，这款T-32是性别平衡的，其中包括17％的代表性不足的少数民族。在过去的十年中，这款T32在监督和鼓励调查和学术界的互惠承诺的情况下为学员提供了持续的坚定承诺。那些已经完成了在手术，其肿瘤学学科和妇产科的其他医学院的学术教师职位的培训的人反映了这一点。因此，每年需要持续资金对6名博士后居民培训者。
