DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This 5 year program is designed to continue to train predoctoral (PhD) and postdoctoral students in statistical genomics with the major emphasis in cancer genomics. The goal is to train biostatisticians in the biology, etiology, and genetics of cancer, as well as to train them to conduct state-of-the-art biostatistical methodologic research relevant to the genomics of cancer as well as in related areas of genomics. The goal is to also produce biostatisticians who can collaborate with other scientific researchers and oncologists on research issues related to genomics and cancer. The typical predoctoral trainee will be a college graduate or master's level graduate with an excellent academic record appropriate for this training area. The typical postdoctoral trainee will have highly relevant doctoral training in statistics, biostatistics, or related areas. Funding is requested for the support of 5 predoctoral trainees and 1 postdoctoral trainee. The Department of Biostatistics at UNC is one of the largest in the world, and has highly qualified personnel and the available facilities to provide the most comprehensive predoctoral and postdoctoral training in this research area. Several members of the Carolina Center for Genome Sciences (CCGS) and the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (BCB) program will be deeply involved in all phases of this training program and will play an integral role in this training program.

描述（由申请人提供）：这个为期5年的计划旨在继续培养统计基因组学的博士前（PhD）和博士后学生，重点是癌症基因组学。目标是培养生物统计学家在生物学，病因学和遗传学的癌症，以及培养他们进行国家的最先进的生物统计方法学研究相关的癌症基因组学以及基因组学的相关领域。其目标是培养生物统计学家，他们可以与其他科学研究人员和肿瘤学家就基因组学和癌症相关的研究问题进行合作。典型的博士前实习生将是一个大学毕业生或硕士水平的毕业生，具有良好的学术记录适合这个培训领域。典型的博士后培训生将在统计学，生物统计学或相关领域进行高度相关的博士培训。请求资助5名博士前实习生和1名博士后实习生。生物统计学系是世界上最大的生物统计学系之一，拥有高素质的人才和可用的设施，可以在该研究领域提供最全面的博士前和博士后培训。卡罗莱纳基因组科学中心（CCGS）和生物信息学和计算生物学（BCB）计划的几名成员将深入参与该培训计划的所有阶段，并将在该培训计划中发挥不可或缺的作用。
