DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Research Training Program in Surgical Oncology is intended to provide mentor-based training to young surgeon-scientists who will pursue research and teaching careers in Surgical Oncology. The two year postdoctoral program optimizes the ability of the trainees to translate modern molecular biology and other basic sciences to contemporary clinical problems. In the past five years our institution has developed an outstanding laboratory-based training program for academic surgical oncologists successfully training ten individuals who are now pursuing academic careers in different institutions throughout the country. Our goal is to continue this Program, while improving its attributes, to maximize the potential of our trainees to develop their own independent Surgical Oncology translational research efforts. Research training is accomplished through four areas of experience: 1) required core curriculum, 2) mentor-directed laboratory training in one of six areas of oncologic research, 3) basic and clinical science- oriented interactive seminars, and 4) attendance at national scientific meetings. All Core Faculty mentors have active, funded laboratories, and provide a broad base of experience in oncology-related basic research and prior mentoring experience. Their particular research strengths include chemoprevention, immunology, molecular biology/gene therapy, molecular biomarkers, applied pharmacology, and radiation biology. The Executive Committee provides administrative guidance to the Program Director, evaluates program progress and trainee applications, and suggests future directions. The Trainee Advisory Committee consists of a Core Faculty Mentor and additional Participating Faculty with appropriate research expertise. The External Review Committee provides for independent, extramural review of the program content and process. The UAB Department of Surgery offers trainees in all surgical subspecialties a unique opportunity to receive expert training in the basic and translational sciences. Funding of this Program will enable these trainees to pursue two years of uninterrupted study of fundamental Surgical Oncology problems while encouraging these surgeon-scientists to enter active academic careers with an emphasis on translational research that will undoubtedly impact the quality of cancer patient care in our country.

描述（由申请人提供）：本外科肿瘤学研究培训计划旨在为年轻的外科医生科学家提供基于导师的培训，他们将在外科肿瘤学领域从事研究和教学工作。为期两年的博士后课程优化了学员将现代分子生物学和其他基础科学转化为当代临床问题的能力。在过去的五年里，我们的机构已经开发了一个优秀的实验室为基础的培训计划，学术外科肿瘤学家成功地培训了十个人谁是现在追求学术事业在全国各地的不同机构。我们的目标是继续这一计划，同时提高其属性，以最大限度地发挥我们的学员的潜力，发展自己的独立外科肿瘤学转化研究工作。 研究培训是通过四个领域的经验：1）所需的核心课程，2）导师指导的实验室培训在肿瘤学研究的六个领域之一，3）基础和临床科学为导向的互动研讨会，和4）出席国家科学会议。所有核心教师导师都有积极的，资助的实验室，并提供了在肿瘤学相关的基础研究和以前的指导经验的广泛基础。其特殊的研究优势包括化学预防，免疫学，分子生物学/基因治疗，分子生物标志物，应用药理学和辐射生物学。执行委员会为项目总监提供行政指导，评估项目进展和学员申请，并提出未来方向。培训生咨询委员会由一名核心教师导师和其他具有适当研究专长的参与教师组成。外部审查委员会对计划内容和过程进行独立的校外审查。 UAB外科部为所有外科专科的学员提供了一个独特的机会，接受基础和转化科学的专家培训。该计划的资助将使这些学员能够对基本的外科肿瘤学问题进行为期两年的不间断研究，同时鼓励这些外科医生-科学家进入积极的学术生涯，重点是转化研究，这无疑将影响我国癌症患者护理的质量。
