PROJECT SUMMARY To address the national shortage of academic surgical oncologists, the Department of Surgery at The University of Miami (UM) Health System and the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center (SCCC), representing an international hub serving diverse, multi-ethnic and disadvantaged/minority populations, have dedicated this new T32 training program to producing outstanding academic surgical oncologists - both clinician investigators and physician scientists. The decrease in the number of surgeon scientists correlates with the NIH’s concern regarding the lack of skilled investigators capable of leading translation of research discoveries from bench to bedside. Integration of a two-year research experience into general surgery residency or surgical oncology fellowship enhances the likelihood that surgeons will pursue academic careers. The specific objectives of this program are: 1) to provide training in the conduct of basic, translational, health services and/or clinical surgical oncology hypothesis-driven research, through participation in a two-year, tailored didactic and mentored postdoctoral research training program experience for selected surgical residents and/or fellows, utilizing the extensive resources of the UM Department of Surgery and SCCC, 2) to integrate surgical oncology research into general surgery residency and fellowship programs and equip each trainee with appropriate supplemental didactic experiences in basic, translational, health services and clinical research, 3) and to develop and train surgeon-scientists to become productive researchers as well as future leaders in academic surgical oncology. Our program provides opportunities in a broad range of research training disciplines including, but not limited to, cancer biology, molecular therapeutics, tumor immunology, biomedical engineering, health disparities, population health, and clinical trial design/implementation. Two types of research training are offered: 1) a basic/translational research track in which trainees spend 24 months in the laboratory or 2) a health disparities and outcomes research track in which trainees spend 24 months under the direction of one or two of the faculty mentors; this track may include one year of laboratory-based research followed by a one to two years of population-based research. Additionally, our trainees have the option to earn an advanced degree - either a Master’s of Science in Clinical and Translational Investigation degree or a Masters of Public Health degree. This versatility in academic training increases the likelihood of obtaining an academic position upon completion of training. Our team of experienced physician-, and research-scientist mentors with active, external peer-reviewed funding are committed to the highest quality research experience, providing state of art training in surgical oncology. The proposed program incorporates a comprehensive training plan in the responsible conduct of research and promotes diversity by recruiting and retaining women, and minority surgeon candidates. The University of Miami offers a dynamic, stimulating and collegial learning environment for this new Research Training Program in Surgical Oncology.

项目摘要 为了解决全国学术外科肿瘤学家短缺的问题，该大学外科系 迈阿密（UM）卫生系统和西尔维斯特综合癌症中心（SCCC），代表一个 为不同、多种族和弱势/少数群体服务的国际中心，专门为这一新的 T32培训计划，以培养优秀的学术外科肿瘤学家-临床研究人员和 医学科学家外科医生科学家数量的减少与NIH的担忧有关 关于缺乏能够将研究发现从实验室转化为 床边将两年的研究经验整合到普通外科住院医师或外科肿瘤学中 奖学金提高了外科医生从事学术事业的可能性。 该方案的具体目标是：1）提供培训，在进行基本的，转化的， 服务和/或临床外科肿瘤学假设驱动的研究，通过参与为期两年的，量身定制的 为选定的外科住院医师提供教学和指导的博士后研究培训计划经验，和/或 研究员，利用外科和SCCC的UM部门的广泛资源，2）整合外科 肿瘤学研究纳入普通外科住院医师和奖学金计划，并为每位受训者配备 在基础、转化、卫生服务和临床研究方面的适当补充教学经验，3） 培养和培训外科医生科学家，使其成为富有成效的研究人员和未来的领导者， 学术外科肿瘤学我们的计划提供了广泛的研究培训学科的机会 包括但不限于癌症生物学、分子治疗学、肿瘤免疫学、生物医学工程 健康差异、人群健康和临床试验设计/实施。两种类型的研究培训是 提供：1）基础/转化研究轨道，学员在实验室度过24个月或2）健康 差距和成果研究轨道，学员花24个月的指导下，一个或两个 教师导师;这条轨道可能包括一年的实验室为基础的研究，其次是一到两年 基于人口的研究。此外，我们的学员可以选择获得高级学位-无论是 临床和转化研究理学硕士学位或公共卫生硕士学位。这 学术培训的多功能性增加了在完成学业后获得学术职位的可能性。 训练我们的团队经验丰富的医生和研究科学家导师与积极的，外部同行评审 资金致力于最高质量的研究经验，提供最先进的外科培训， 肿瘤学拟议的方案纳入了一个全面的培训计划，负责进行 通过招聘和留住女性和少数族裔外科医生候选人来研究和促进多样性。的 迈阿密大学为这项新的研究提供了一个充满活力，刺激和学院式的学习环境 外科肿瘤学培训计划。
