DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) requests NCI support for an innovative, unique, and intensive one-week educational experience (Integrative Molecular Epidemiology Workshop) to be repeated annually to accelerate the training of the next generation of cancer researchers who must be well-skilled in the integration of biology and epidemiology in studies of etiology and outcome. Of particular importance is the need to educate researchers in integrating modern and rapidly evolving "omics" technologies into state-of-the-art molecular epidemiology, as well the need to become facile in integrating diverse and high dimensional data. The Workshop is primarily targeted toward molecular epidemiologists, but the materials are designed to also be appropriate for geneticists, statisticians, bioinformaticians, molecular biologists, physician scientists and other who have completed basic coursework in epidemiology. The highly qualified faculty assembled to teach this workshop have expertise that spans these disciplines ensuring that all materials are of the highest quality and the most relevant content. The program will be reviewed annually by distinguished scientists who serve on the Board of Directors of the AACR, a scientific society of 35,638 members worldwide working in all aspects of basic, clinical, and translational cancer research. It is expected that the majority of the 50 attendees will be postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty, but a few advanced graduate students and mid-level/senior faculty will be eligible to participate. Based on our experiences with other courses, we expect the application process to be highly competitive, with at least twice the number of applications for the slots available. What will distinguish the focus of the workshop is the application of these technologies and approaches within an epidemiologic framework. Thus, all lectures and laboratories will be cognizant of issues like feasibility, scalability, quality control, and practical limitations. Forml didactic lectures will take place in the mornings with extensive time for discussion. Afternoons will be devoted to "laboratories" building upon the information provided in the morning lectures with problem- solving sessions and "hands-on" applications of statistical and bioinformatics methods. Participants will work collaboratively in small groups throughout the duration of the workshop. Cooperative group learning and problem solving activities will be used to ensure lively and active discussion with engaged learners. Finally, we will evaluate learning with measurable outcomes for the workshop overall and for individual lectures and laboratories. AACR has experienced staff and an excellent track record for administering other educational Workshops.

描述（由申请人提供）：美国癌症研究协会（AACR）要求NCI支持每年重复一次的创新，独特和密集的为期一周的教育经验（整合分子流行病学研讨会），以加速下一代癌症研究人员的培训，他们必须熟练掌握生物学和流行病学在病因学和结果研究中的整合。特别重要的是需要教育研究人员将现代和快速发展的“组学”技术整合到最先进的分子流行病学中，以及需要在整合多样化和高维数据方面变得容易。讲习班主要针对分子流行病学家，但材料的设计也适合遗传学家，统计学家，生物信息学家，分子生物学家，医生科学家和其他完成流行病学基础课程的人。高素质的教师聚集在一起教授这个研讨会，他们拥有跨越这些学科的专业知识，确保所有材料都具有最高质量和最相关的内容。该计划将由AACR董事会的杰出科学家每年进行审查，AACR是一个由全球35，638名成员组成的科学协会，致力于基础，临床和转化癌症研究的各个方面。预计50名与会者中的大多数将是博士后研究员和初级教师，但少数高级研究生和中级/高级教师将有资格参加。根据我们与其他课程的经验，我们预计申请过程将具有很强的竞争力，至少有两倍的申请数量的插槽。什么将区分研讨会的重点是这些技术和方法在流行病学框架内的应用。因此，所有的讲座和实验室都将认识到可行性，可扩展性，质量控制和实际限制等问题。形式的教学讲座将在上午进行，并有大量的时间进行讨论。下午将致力于“实验室”的基础上提供的信息，在上午的讲座与解决问题的会议和“动手”的统计和生物信息学方法的应用。在整个研讨会期间，与会者将以小组形式进行协作。合作小组学习和解决问题的活动将被用来确保活跃和积极的讨论与参与学习者。最后，我们将评估学习与可衡量的成果，为车间整体和个人讲座和实验室。AACR拥有经验丰富的工作人员和管理其他教育研讨会的良好记录。
