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）：该肿瘤外科研究培训计划旨在为将从事肿瘤外科研究和教学职业的年轻外科医生科学家提供基于导师的培训。为期两年的博士后计划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，我们的机构为学术外科肿瘤学家开发了一项出色的基于实验室的培训计划，成功培训了十名目前在全国不同机构从事学术职业的人员。我们的目标是继续该计划，同时改进其属性，最大限度地发挥学员的潜力，发展自己独立的外科肿瘤学转化研究工作。 研究培训通过四个领域的经验来完成：1）必需的核心课程，2）肿瘤研究六个领域之一的导师指导的实验室培训，3）基础和临床科学导向的互动研讨会，以及4）参加国家科学会议。所有核心教师导师都拥有活跃的、受资助的实验室，并在肿瘤学相关基础研究和先前的指导经验方面提供了广泛的经验。他们的特殊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、应用药理学和放射生物学。执行委员会向项目总监提供行政指导，评估项目进展和实习生申请，并提出未来方向建议。实习生咨询委员会由核心教师导师和具有适当研究专业知识的其他参与教师组成。外部审查委员会对项目内容和流程进行独立的外部审查。 UAB 外科为所有外科专业的学员提供接受基础科学和转化科学专家培训的独特机会。该计划的资助将使这些学员能够对基本的肿瘤外科问题进行两年不间断的研究，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。
