项目总结 目前的建议题为“会员和住院医师放射肿瘤学强化培训的影像和 信息学为研究事业提供动力(FRONTI2ER)是专门为发展辐射而设计的 肿瘤学卓越培训计划，强调生物医学成像的指导性研究培训， 德克萨斯大学MD安德森癌症住院医生/研究员的信息学和临床试验设计 中心，意在打造一代放射肿瘤内科科学家，他们将成为 独立研究人员和学术生物医学成像和临床信息学领域的领导者，以及 创新转化科学研究，将基因组学/放射学科学的进展与 生物医学成像和临床信息学方面的持续技术进步。得克萨斯大学医学博士 安德森癌症中心是国内最大的放射肿瘤学培训项目，并有专门的 在成像、临床信息学和临床试验设计方面具有直接正式专业知识的人员 一个放射肿瘤学教育项目。为此目的，并根据RFA(PAR-15-167)，我们提出一项 在其早期阶段加强对放射肿瘤学家、内科医生、科学家的培训 通过引入正式的一年教育和研究计划，培训计划(住院医生/研究员) 这将产生足够的专业知识来引领和加速生物医学成像的发展 在放射肿瘤学中的应用。我们的目标是开发和实施一项计划，该计划包括 与生物医学成像、临床相关的研究活动的教育、培训和实践实施 信息学和临床试验设计，并加强招聘早期职业内科科学家 代表不足的少数群体或残疾人或其他社会、文化、经济或教育 不利于丰富我国生物医学成像领域劳动力的多样性。成功 这项计划的实施将直接加强新的研究方法，以开发 新的生物医学成像技术和设备，从根本上改善了检测、治疗和 预防疾病；以及加强现有的成像和临床研究及其影响。

PROJECT SUMMARY The current proposal entitled "Fellow and Resident Radiation Oncology iNtensive Training in Imaging and Informatics to Empower Research Careers (FRONTI2ER)” is particularly designed to develop radiation oncology training program of excellence that emphasizes mentored research training of biomedical imaging, informatics, and clinical trial design for residents/fellows at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, with the intent to create a generation of radiation oncology physician scientists who will become independent research investigators and leaders in academic biomedical imaging and clinical informatics, and to innovate translational scientific research linking advances in the sciences of genomics/radiomics with ongoing technological evolution in biomedical imaging and clinical informatics. The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center is the largest domestic radiation oncology training program and has specific personnel with direct formal expertise in imaging, clinical informatics, and clinical trial design, in the context of a radiation oncology educational program. To this end, and pursuant to the RFA (PAR-15-167), we propose a program to enhance the training of radiation oncologist physician scientists during the early phase of their training program (residency/fellowship) by introducing a formal one-year educational and research program that will effectuate expertise sufficient to lead and accelerate the development of biomedical imaging application in radiation oncology. We aim to develop and effectuate a program that includes a mentored education, training, and hands-on implementation of research activities related to biomedical imaging, clinical informatics, and clinical trial design and to enhance the recruitment of early career physician scientist from under-represented minorities or with disabilities or other social, cultural, economic, or educational disadvantages to enrich the diversity of our national workforce in biomedical imaging. Successful implementation of this program will directly augment novel research approaches towards the development of new biomedical imaging techniques and devices to fundamentally improve the detection, treatment, and prevention of disease; as well as enhancing existing imaging and clinical research and its implications.
