Training Program in Investigative Oncology

描述（由申请人提供）：本文所述的计划将培养博士后研究员在学术肿瘤学的职业生涯。具有医学博士或医学博士和博士学位的候选人谁已经完成了内科培训将被录取为三年计划。 该计划的第一年包括临床肿瘤学的密集经验。在该计划的其余部分，学员将把他们的大部分时间用于研究为基础的研究，无论是在实验室或在临床环境。研究员的津贴支持的研究培训是由这个赠款。通常需要三年以上的培训才能完成一个研究项目，并成为学术职位的竞争力。受训人员及其导师在这些额外的年份里获得培训补助金以外的支助。 对于每名研究员，研究培训将由肿瘤学系的一名全职教员或斯坦福大学代表与癌症相关的基础科学学科的一名副教员监督，这些学科包括生物科学、生物化学、发育生物学、流行病学、遗传学和基因组学、免疫学、病理学、人口科学、造血干细胞移植、疾病预防、生物统计学和生物信息学。在他们的培训结束时，个人将准备作为科学和医学肿瘤学前沿的独立调查员的职业生涯。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The program described herein will train postdoctoral fellows for a career in academic oncology. Candidates with an MD or both an MD and PhD degrees who have completed training in internal medicine will be admitted to the three-year program. The first year of the program consists of an intensive experience in clinical oncology. During the remainder of the program, the trainees will devote the majority of their time to research-based study, either in the laboratory or in a clinical setting. Fellow stipend support for the research training is provided by this grant. More than three years of training is often required to complete a research project and to become competitive for an academic position. Trainees and their preceptors obtain support beyond this training grant for these additional years. For each fellow, research training will be supervised by a full-time faculty member in the Division of Oncology, or by one of a number of associate faculty members at Stanford University representing the basic science disciplines relevant to cancer, such as biological sciences, biochemistry, developmental biology, epidemiology, genetics and genomics, immunology, pathology, population sciences, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, disease prevention, biostatistics and bioinformatics. At the conclusion of their training, individuals will be prepared for careers as independent investigators at the forefront of science and medical oncology.
