DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of this cancer research training program is to immerse the trainee in an interdisciplinary and translational research environment that is representative of cancer research and patient care today. The program's emphasis is on comprehensive training in basic and translational research, and has an endpoint objective of preparing trainees for the role of principal investigator. A focal point for this pre- and post-doctoral program is the New Jersey Medical School-University Hospital Cancer Center, a 220,000 square foot, nine-story building that houses both state-of-the-art research facilities and cancer care outpatient services. The faculty is drawn from those that are resident in the new Cancer Center building, and from our campus' broader Cancer Center Community. A major strength of the faculty within the new building is that they are from diverse departments (9 in total), and have been situated in an open laboratory configuration that facilitates interdisciplinary research. In addition, a "Shadowing Program" has been developed to promote exposure, of the trainees to patient care and clinical research through an introductory clinical oncology course, clinical rotations in the NJMS-UH Cancer Clinic, and through attendance at tumor conferences. Other features of the program include an emphasis on mentored research on molecular mechanisms of malignancy, intramural research presentations, and mandatory grant preparation training. While the program has several new features, it builds on a long standing history of courses, and a strong track record of mentored cancer research training. Our geographic location at the hub of Newark Science Park, our emphasis on clinical exposure, our excellent research environment, and our high caliber research faculty trainers, who are supported by comprehensive research funding, combine to provide unique opportunities for trainees in this program. The active involvement in our Shadowing Program of clinicians with discrete expertise provides exposure for trainees to the diverse aspects of cancer clinical care. This feature of the program provides opportunities to seed and foster translational projects, and prepares our trainees for translational research careers. The goals are: (1) to recruit a cadre of trainees dedicated to careers in cancer research, 2) to provide didactic training in the molecular mechanisms of malignancy as well as clinical research, (3) to expose trainees to the translational research opportunities that can be identified through familiarity with the clinical environment (4) to provide pre-doctoral trainees with an exciting and contemporary program that will foster their enthusiasm for careers in cancer biology, and (5) to provide post- doctoral fellows with a unique combination of experiences and skills that will allow them to effectively and successfully transition into independent research careers. RELEVANCE. (See Instructions): The mission of this cancer research training program is to immerse the trainee in a multi-disciplinary environment that is representative of cancer research and patient care today. One of the major goals is to provide the trainees with the skills necessary to conduct clinically relevant research, and to prepare them for future careers in which they will work to speed the translation of discoveries from the laboratory to the clinic:

描述（由申请人提供）：该癌症研究培训计划的目标是让学员沉浸在一个跨学科和转化研究的环境中，这是当今癌症研究和患者护理的代表。该计划的重点是在基础和转化研究的综合培训，并有一个准备学员的主要研究者的角色的终点目标。这个前和博士后项目的焦点是新泽西医学院大学医院癌症中心，一个220，000平方英尺，九层楼高的建筑，拥有最先进的研究设施和癌症护理门诊服务。教师来自那些居住在新的癌症中心大楼，并从我们的校园更广泛的癌症中心社区。新大楼内的教师的主要优势是，他们来自不同的部门（共9个），并已位于一个开放的实验室配置，促进跨学科研究。此外，还制定了一个“影子方案”，通过临床肿瘤学入门课程、NJMS-UH癌症诊所的临床轮换和参加肿瘤会议，促进受训人员接触病人护理和临床研究。该计划的其他特点包括对恶性肿瘤分子机制的指导研究，校内研究报告和强制性拨款准备培训的重点。虽然该计划有几个新的功能，它建立在长期的课程历史，以及指导癌症研究培训的良好记录。我们在纽瓦克科技园的枢纽，我们对临床暴露，我们优良的研究环境，我们的高素质的研究教师培训师，谁是由全面的研究资金支持的地理位置，结合联合收割机，为学员提供独特的机会在这个程序。具有独立专业知识的临床医生积极参与我们的影子计划，为学员提供了接触癌症临床护理各个方面的机会。该计划的这一特点提供了种子和培养翻译项目的机会，并为我们的学员做好翻译研究职业的准备。目标是：（1）招募一批致力于癌症研究事业的受训人员，（2）提供恶性肿瘤分子机制和临床研究方面的教学培训，（3）让学员接触到通过熟悉临床环境可以识别的转化研究机会（4）提供预博士生通过令人兴奋的现代项目培养他们对癌症生物学职业的热情，以及（5）为博士后研究员提供独特的经验和技能组合，使他们能够有效和成功地过渡到独立的研究事业。 本案无关(See说明）：这个癌症研究培训计划的使命是让受训者沉浸在一个多学科的环境中，这个环境是当今癌症研究和病人护理的代表。主要目标之一是为学员提供进行临床相关研究所需的技能，并为他们未来的职业生涯做好准备，他们将努力加快从实验室到临床的发现翻译：
