DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Proposed is the continuation of our educational program for pre-doctoral fellows in Cancer Epidemiology and Control. We aim to build on the program which we have developed in the past four years, working to train outstanding scientists prepared for the rapidly changing field of cancer epidemiology, skilled with a deep understanding of epidemiologic methods, with an integrated understanding of the biology and pathology of cancer and of other relevant disciplines and with the ability to engage in interdisciplinary research. We will combine excellent mentorship of researchers from the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine (SPM) at the University at Buffalo (UB), others at UB and from Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI) to provide a curriculum including coursework, special seminars, and mentored interdisciplinary research. The proposed program provides a sub-specialty in cancer epidemiology and control, developing the training in multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research and expanding training collaborations. We propose to continue development and implementation of the specialized curriculum in cancer epidemiology emphasizing the integration of cancer biology and pathology as well as including opportunities for development of expertise in a number of other disciplines. This program would continue to 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, pathology 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, other UB departments 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, cancer biology, cancer genetics, health behavior, toxicology, nutrition, immunology, or geographic information systems; and provide an understanding of and experience in multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary collaborative research. Working with an engaged advisory committee and with the advice of external advisors, we will continue to work to recruit a diverse cadre of young scientists with excellent credentials and train them to operate in a rapidly changing and challenging environment to move them toward careers as independent scientists, contributing significantly to our understanding of cancer epidemiology and control.

描述（由申请人提供）：建议是我们在癌症流行病学和控制的博士前研究员教育计划的延续。我们的目标是建立在我们在过去四年中开发的计划，努力培养优秀的科学家为癌症流行病学的快速变化领域做好准备，熟练掌握流行病学方法的深刻理解，对癌症的生物学和病理学以及其他相关学科的综合理解，并有能力从事跨学科研究。我们将联合收割机从社会和预防医学（SPM）在布法罗大学（UB），其他人在UB和罗斯威尔公园癌症研究所（RPCI）的部门研究人员的优秀导师提供包括课程，特别研讨会，并指导跨学科研究的课程。该计划提供了癌症流行病学和控制的子专业，开发多学科和跨学科研究的培训，并扩大培训合作。我们建议继续开发和实施癌症流行病学专业课程，强调癌症生物学和病理学的整合，并包括在其他一些学科的专业知识发展的机会。该计划将继续为癌症流行病学家的发展提供支持，以便进行尖端研究并应对未来的研究挑战。其目标是：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、病理学和其他相关领域有全面的了解;利用战略规划和管理处、布隆迪其他部门和卢旺达国际刑事法庭之间的伙伴关系所提供的机会和资源，为博士前研究员提供量身定制的实践机会，以发展流行病学和控制以及其他相关学科的研究技能，包括生物统计学，癌症生物学，癌症遗传学，健康行为学，毒理学，营养学，免疫学或地理信息系统;并提供多学科和跨学科合作研究的理解和经验。我们将与一个积极参与的咨询委员会合作，并在外部顾问的建议下，继续努力招募一支具有优秀资历的年轻科学家队伍，并培训他们在快速变化和充满挑战的环境中工作，使他们成为独立的科学家，为我们对癌症流行病学和控制的理解做出重大贡献。
